Hakeem Jeffries, @RepJeffries
There are 14 yr old girls pregnant in an ICE Facility that were NOT when they were detained. We want justice and prosecutions, not reaching across the aisle!
Two guys who have been illegally writing checks and illegally withholding congressionally appropriated money at the same time. Subpoena Vought and Mrs. Beasley for a joint hearing so we can watch them try to throw each other under the bus.
I took this on July 1st. As it stands today , Major Jason Watson has spent over 80 days in solitary confinement. He hasn’t been convicted yet, only charged. This is unacceptable! Share his story! Free Major Watson!
Dear @SenSchumer,
You have been in political office for 51 years and 10 months.
That is FIVE DECADES of backroom power brokering.
When is enough power enough for you?
You're 75 years old.
You've taken ENOUGH.
Let new leadership run the Democratic party now.
Today @Rep_Grijalva and I issued the following statement in opposition to the Senate Permitting Bill (BAAJA) S. 5653 and the Managers Amendment released today ⬇️
OPPOSE BAAJA
The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653). Call your U.S. Senators and Representatives: (202) 224-3121. Ask them to strongly oppose S. 5653 by 2:30pm Pacific or 5:30pm Eastern on Monday, November 9.

BAAJA is still BAD.
No amount of last-minute tinkering can disguise that this bill is a massive giveaway to fossil fuel companies and Big Tech at the expense of communities, the climate, and people's energy bills.
Congress must reject BAAJA.

The ASSAULT on nature from this administration, Doug Burgum and Mike Lee never ends.
What I didn't expect is two DEMOCRATIC Senators to be party to it. Assuming good intentions from @SenWhitehouse and @SenatorHeinrich for sponsoring this bill as way to expedite the expansion of a green energy grid, the absolute non-starters, especially now that we'll have a majority, are as follows.
1. REMOVE Section 1401 - which essentially makes any destructive permitting done by this corrupt administration permanent and legally irreversible.
2. REMOVE the agreement that allows "No Judicial Pauses."
To put this in real terms, remember how the Trump administration just cut down 429 healthy mature full growth trees in DC despite a court order, or how they began BULLDOZING Big Bend National
Park in Texas without environmental review?
Now imagine that happening on our natural lands, on tribal lands, and in protected natural habitats all across the country without any ability to stop it.
That's what these two senators have agreed to.
MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD.
#ProtectPublicLands
Former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell's booking photo. In 1977, he became the first ex-AG to go to federal prison, serving 19 months for conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury while covering for a corrupt president. Just leaving this here.
I urge every one of you who value our public lands, animals, and clean air and water, to call you Senators and insist they vote no on S. 5653 BAAJA.
The main switchboard is (202) 224-3121, then tell them which Senator.
P.S. No to Schumer and Jeffries.
Our statement on the updated BAAJA text:
“This isn’t a permitting compromise, it’s a sellout… There is no reason why we should pass such a heinous bill in Lame Duck when we will soon be ushering in a new Congress in January.”
