Split screen at Capitol Hill today:
Hakeem Jeffries is arguing that he should be the leader of the Democrats — and then, as the current leader, he couldn’t get enough Democrats to show up to impeach Pete Hegseth
“It made me a little sad.”
@BillSimmons reacts to Jaylen Brown cold-shouldering Jayson Tatum in their first face-off since being traded in the offseason.
Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.
Hegseth’s impeachment was blocked by 7 votes in the House. 11 democrats were allowed to miss the vote. We’re supposed to accept this leadership from Jeffries?
Folks, let's make this happen. Call Van Hollen's office and let him know that you are 100% in support of him running against @SenSchumer
Phone: (202) 224-4654
Now pass it on!
These 11 House Democrats missed the vote that blocked Hegseth’s impeachment effort. Just seven voting against it would have defeated the motion:
Julia Brownley (CA)
Lou Correa (CA)
Laura Gillen (NY)
Steven Horsford (NV)
Jonathan Jackson (IL)
Nancy Pelosi (CA)
Brittany Pettersen (CO)
Melanie Stansbury (NM)
Haley Stevens (MI)
Marilyn Strickland (WA)
Frederica Wilson (FL)
Here are the 11 Democrats who couldn’t be bothered to show up to impeach war criminal Pete Hegseth:
Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)
Haley Stevens (MI-11)
Julia Brownley (CA-26)
Lou Correa (CA-46)
Laura Gillen (NY-4)
Steven Horsford (NV-4)
Jonathan Jackson (IL-1)
Brittany Pettersen (CO-7)
Melanie Stansbury (NM-1)
Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Frederica Wilson (FL-24)
If these 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would’ve been impeached 215-211.
There are no excuses left to make. The Democrats couldn’t even show up to hold a war criminal accountable who bombed an elementary school and mass murdered children.
@politigaymer@RepJeffries And a slap in the face of all the people who took off of work to historically vote out a corrupt dictator, only to be let down by our own party! Insane is about right!!!!!
I'm so sorry but Hakeem @RepJeffries claiming to be able to deliver accountability over the past week and then LITERALLY FAILING TO HAVE HIS CAUCUS PRESENT TO IMPEACH HEGSETH is **INSANE**
