If Hakeem remains speaker, the chances are high that the blue wave will be for nothing, currently he has no "challenger" so he'll be placed in leadership by default.

Some reps also report being intimidated if they don't offer unconditional support. That's not acceptable.

All of these spineless corrupt POS need to be removed from office

[Julian Andreone @JulianAndreone]

Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.

Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.

Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

Americans registered history’s largest anti-oligarch, anti-corruption, pro-change election, and corporate media and the think tank industry are pretending voters want merely a pre-Trump status quo and nothing more.

Don’t forget: The propaganda machine is real — and it hates you.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kamlager-Dove on Hegseth Impeachment: We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues.

You know this man should not be in this position. That’s why he got up at 8 o’clock in the morning with his sorry self to plead to the American people.

So shame on folks who are not here. Because these people lost. They lost, and they still found a way to show up to table this bill. Shameful.

This was AOC’s logic in her white board explainer and it completely ignores that she is a player in this drama and not a helpless bystander.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“We can’t challenge Jeffries because nobody is challenging Jeffries” is the kind of circular logic that drives people insane

@HouseDemocrats

[HalfScotintheBuf @HopScott21]

@DropSiteNews @JulianAndreone @AOC the American people just overwhelmingly said they wanted change and to get these corporate and AIPAC owned politicians out. When will someone in the party grow a spine and stand up to the corrupt Jeffries?

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.

His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”

He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

[HalfScotintheBuf @HopScott21]

@TheTNHoller @HouseDemocrats @RepJeffries @AOC @JulianAndreone @aoc you put Jeffries in as speaker and you’ve lost all momentum from this election. He did nothing to help the Dems win and stands in the way of the agenda you were elected to enact.

[HalfScotintheBuf @HopScott21]

@TheTNHoller @AOC @RepJeffries Someone needs to grow a spine then and step up to these corporate AIPAC owned shills. @AOC do your job and remove these cancerous leaders.

[HalfScotintheBuf @HopScott21]

@TheTNHoller @RepJeffries @SenSchumer Jeffries and Schumer need to step down. Dems win in spite of them. Many candidates they backed lost in primaries to those who won the general. No corporate AIPAC shills!

@ryangrim @bariweiss @Olivia_Reingold Least surprising thing I’ll see all week Ryan. Thanks for keeping up the amazing unbiased journalism. Glad to be a multi year breaking points subscriber.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Funny watching this news outlet fall to pieces after one bad election

Classic response of spoiled kids hearing “no” for the first time as semi-adults

Cc @bariweiss & @Olivia_Reingold grow a pair and post the interview

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

There is absolutely zero reason these two should be leading the Democratic Party.
The people don't want them. If it's the "democratic" party, why not have the people VOTE on who should be Speaker and Majority Leader?

[HalfScotintheBuf @HopScott21]

@YourAnonNews They are both huge reasons Trump won a second term. They did nothing for the people when they had power to do so. Go away.

[HalfScotintheBuf @HopScott21]

Great argument to make when the current president is a carnival barker conman who’s experience was host of a reality TV show

[Jake🏳️‍🌈 @bestienamedjake]

@emiliepfrank People being like “Talarico is the perfect 2028 candidate” umm no he isn’t. He has no executive experience and has served 0 days in the federal government at this moment. Let the dude just celebrate the monumental win and be a senator

[TonyMac @TonyMac67s]

This should be enough to end his career as a TV host 🤭

[HalfScotintheBuf @HopScott21]

@WhiteHouse Cool, let him veto Epstein bills to protect himself. Veto bills that make life better and more affordable. Veto bills that reign in corruption. He can have an approval score of 12 when he’s impeached and removed.
