@benjiunderscore Senators want confidence their leader will look out for their interests, help move their bills/amendments and not force them to take difficult votes that won’t play well at home. That all works against a leader candidate motivated by ideology

[Max Cohen @maxpcohen]

The House Dem moderates are prepping to fight back against the flank.

Increasingly emboldened after winning in droves last week, the center-left is turning its ire on hardline progs who are trying to draw concessions out of Jeffries

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

The center-left New Democrat Coalition puts out a statement saying they "can’t wait to vote for Hakeem Jeffries to be Speaker of the House on January 3, 2027."

They elected new leaders yesterday: Budzinski as chair and Landsman, Vasquez, Schrier and Strickland as vice chairs

[𝕊𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕖_𝔾𝕦𝕣𝕝 @SundaeDivine]

Jason Crow, Lauren Underwood, and Morgan McGarvey deserve enormous credit for the Democrats’ midterm victories. As the DCCC’s recruitment co-chairs, they helped recruit the candidates who delivered.

They didn't just help win an election. They helped build the team that won it.

[Katherine Clark @WhipKClark]

Republicans just blocked the House from impeaching Pete Hegseth.

They are protecting an unqualified, incompetent man over our servicemembers.

What a disgrace.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

House Democrats have won 258 seats and counting.

This is the largest majority that any party has had this century.

News of our demise was greatly exaggerated.

The incoming chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations ⬇️

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is disgraceful. According to new reporting, Pete Hegseth pulled decorated officers from promotion lists after merit boards had already selected them.

Staff printed out internet searches showing that officers had spoken at a Hispanic Heritage Month event, joined an International Women’s Day panel, or encouraged sailors to get vaccinated.

Those printouts went into files the officers never saw, and they were used to end careers built over decades.

On one Navy board, every woman and person of color who had been selected, except one, was removed.

Every American should want the most qualified leaders in charge of our military, and these men and women earned their stars.

Hegseth must come before Congress, testify under oath, and answer for his decisions.

He has no business hiding while he sabotages careers.

It's Hakeem Jeffries' leadership that gave us a 256-seat majority in the House.

Hamas dug the world's most impressive tunnel network in Gaza for terror & pioneered the use of plumbing pipes to create tens of thousands of rockets, but it somehow can't dig trenches and basic public drainage to manage rainwater & push floods away from displacement tent zones?

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

Congressional Democrats scored their greatest electoral triumph in over 50 years on Tuesday. Here’s why the only logical next step is for all of their leaders to step down.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

It is absolutely wild that days after massive Black turnout propelled Democrats to a huge victory in the House, mostly white leftists are publicly demanding that Democrats reject the first Black Speaker of the House.

If you wanted a better example of the out-of-touch-ness of the left I’m not sure you could make one up that matches this.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

Just stunning: With just one exception, Democrats are set to hold every single statewide elected office across Georgia, Texas, Nevada, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Ohio.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Thank you to the @PhillyPolice, the @PAStatePolice, and all of our law enforcement partners for protecting public safety today in Philadelphia.

In the midst of blatant antisemitic targeting of Jewish-owned restaurants on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the City of Brotherly Love showed up to support our neighborhood businesses and prove once again that hate has no place in our Commonwealth.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

House Democrats will relentlessly focus on Affordability, Accountability and American values.

Lower costs. Hold the crooks accountable. Put the American people first.

[Kenny BooYah! 🖖🏾 @KwikWarren]

When a Democrat wins the presidency in 2028, he/she should call Stacey Abrams and offer her the Cabinet position of her choice.

[Marc Broklawski @marcbroklawski]

Netanyahu doesn't work the counter at Schlesinger's Deli. Our neighbors do.

Targeting Jewish-owned shops on the eve of Kristallnacht is antisemitism. Proud of the DNC Jewish-American Council for saying so. If you're in Philly this weekend, go eat at these places.

[Qondi @QondiNtini]

Unparalleled audacity to want to oust the person who ushered in a historic win

Given Black people carried this election it is galling to say the black man responsible for orchestrating the win step aside

He defended targeted Black seats

Those members know who had their back

[Team Hakeem @teamhakeemhq]

Leader @HakeemJeffries announces Democrats’ agenda starting on Day One:

—Launch new oversight efforts to crack down on Trump’s corruption
—End Trump’s war of choice in Iran and lower gas prices
—Reverse Trump’s Medicaid cuts
—Reverse Trump’s SNAP cuts
—End the Trump tariffs to lower prices
—Extend the ACA tax credits to lower health care costs

[Ilyse Hogue @ilyseh]

Literally, cannot scream this enough. People on X fighting about moderates v lefties need to go out and touch grass. Tens of millions of Americans just voted to reject cruelty and work with their neighbors and communities for a better future. That's a victory for humanity. Savor it.
