Democrats across this country showed up last week.
In the face of threats of violence, in the face of voter suppression, they showed up.
There is zero excuse for what happened tonight.
To the 11 Democrats who missed yesterday’s critical vote and blamed traffic: You’re elected officials, not children. Planning ahead is part of your job. The American people expect accountability, not fucking excuses.

Dems need to understand:
- it was NOT a blue wave
- it was an ANTI-RED wave
- an ANTI-AIPAC wave
There is NOTHING Dems did that earned them a majority. They are useless. Jefferies & Schumer are despised.
Any rep that wants to survive next election: act accordingly.
Don't buy any spin.
11 Democrats under @hakeemjeffries DID NOT SHOW UP to vote yesterday.
We ONLY NEEDED 7 VOTES to move the impeachment of @SecWar Hegseth forward.
This is a total and complete failure of leadership from the guy who wants to be Speaker of the House.
When Meghan learned what Thomas did, she cut all communication with him.
When the RF learned what Andrew did, Kate and William protected him, Charles paid his rent and security, and Queen Elizabeth II paid millions to silence one of his victims.
No B.S. time.
11 House Democrats missed the Hegseth impeachment vote.
It lost by 7.
The excuse? Traffic.
Try that one with your boss. Or your customers.
Winners leave early. Losers explain late.
You knew the vote was coming. Show up or step aside.
This is unfuckingacceptable.
I’ve been alive for 44 years. Chuck Schumer has been in office for 52. What the fuck does he think he’s gonna get done in year 53 that he couldn’t get done in the first 52?
Listen, I’m not changing my mind on this one. People have aggressively floated the idea of AOC for President, if she can’t find a way to lead simple change in Congress that the people want and voted for, then that prospect should be off the table. End of story.
Fun fact: the 11 House Democrats who skipped the vote on Massie’s Hegseth impeachment resolution all received funding from AIPAC and allied pro-Israel PACs. Their absence let Republicans kill it.
Israeli funded clowns believe that if the corruption is draped in blue instead of red, people will just shut up and let them continue to steal and kill with impunity. They have another thing coming. The party will have to walk the line, set by the people, or go extinct with GOP.
I'm not interested in excuses from Democrats for their lack of votes today. They knew what was at stake.
If Republicans can cart a potato into Senate to vote, these Representatives can get their asses in gear. Unless a meteor strikes D.C., I don't give a shit.
Hakeem may have killed Pete Hegseth’s impeachment with 11 absent democrats. First test, he failed. Do we want him for the speaker? Jim Jordan will be in charge of his balls. No thank you.
