This was Hakeem Jeffries’ job interview. He failed.

[The Progressive Guy @ProgressiveGuy_]

Hakeem Jeffries is failing to fight for Americans.

We need to replace him as speaker of the house and as a congressman.

He literally had 1 big job this week and failed on week 1.

[Klaust @politigaymer]

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**

Democrats not showing up for the Hegseth impeachment vote is a giant warning sign. Forget Republicans - did Democrats and their leaders watch the election results last week?

[Kyle Blomquist @BlomquistForMI]

If Hakeem Jeffries can't even deliver his caucus for a layup vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, he is definitely not the guy for the work ahead.

GO. AWAY.

[IMEU Policy Project @imeupolicy]

Democrats have every bit of leverage to strip these provisions out of the NDAA or choose not to pass an NDAA this year. Leaving these provisions in the bill and passing it would be a major betrayal of voters.

These measures would:

- open a backdoor for sending Israeli weapons companies billions of US taxpayer dollars without congressional oversight
- give the Israeli government veto authority over how weapons co-produced by US and Israeli companies are used by the US
- fast-track Pentagon procurement of Israeli weapons and surveillance systems tested on Palestinians to be used within US borders
- increase Israel's access to Pentagon intelligence at a time when the Pentagon has raised the threat of Israeli spying to the highest possible level

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.

This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

[Pete West @PeteWest420]

NO on integration of the US military with Israel's IDF. Their wars is theirs only. We want to live in peace with others in the world.

Thanks so much, Senator Van Hollen, for doing this for us.

We need to get rid of each and every single corporate Dem.

[Woke Former Senator @WokeMitt]

The Hegseth impeachment got blocked because 11 House Democrats didn’t show up for the vote. Disappointing and unacceptable.

[I’m NotDevinsMom Moron @NotDevinsMom]

Why the fuck did 11 dems miss the Hegseth vote?
Now impeachment is buried in committee.
Nice job leading Jeffries.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

They had the votes to keep the Hegseth impeachemnt moving forward and they just skipped the vote. Including Nancy Pelosi. Repulsive corporate Democrats.

[Val for Nevada @ValforNevada]

As someone who has heard and seen this behavior locally with my own eyes, we desperately need this type of elected who will tell Americans exactly what kind of plots are devised to prevent working people from winning our goals

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

WHAT ARE WE DOING PEOPLE

[The Progressive Guy @ProgressiveGuy_]

We need to primary all of these treasonous traitors.

BREAKING: The 11 House Democrats who missed the vote that killed Thomas Massie's Hegseth impeachment resolution have all received significant pro-Israel AIPAC money in Congress.

Laura Gillen (NY): $551K
Marilyn Strickland (WA): $371K
Steven Horsford (NV): $214K
Nancy Pelosi (CA): $166K
Julia Brownley (CA): $134K
Brittany Pettersen (CO): $125K
Lou Correa (CA): $80K
Frederica Wilson (FL): $39K
Melanie Stansbury (NM): $28K

Haley Stevens is the highest AIPAC recipient in Congress.

[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.”

TO EVERY NEW DEMOCRAT ELECTED IN THE HOUSE:

TELL ME SPECIFICALLY WHICH DEMS ARE THREATENING YOU TO FALL IN LINE.

IF THEY MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL, MYSELF AND ALL LEFT-WING MEDIA WILL MAKE THEIR LIVES HELL. REACH OUT.
