@neeratanden You’re just trying to make him toxic. He’s not going away nor is his platform. Deal with it and maybe work on solving problems (with the goal of change-maker Dems winning seats) rather than sitting here and hustling for fouls all the time.

[Alabama Revolutionary🌹✊🏾 @TerrellLeftist]

“First Black Speaker of the House” sounds like you’re putting a whole lot of weight behind that, and maybe years ago that would’ve been enough to move a lot of us. But people are struggling too damn hard for symbolism to be the selling point anymore.

Representation matters, but representation does not pay the rent, lower grocery prices, cover medical bills, raise wages, or make life affordable.

Y’all have allowed economic hardship to get so bad that people are past celebrating “the first Black” or “the first” anything while they’re drowning financially. We don’t need another historic milestone used as a substitute for material change. We need Democrats to fix this shit so people can afford to live.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

And YOUR PRIORITY was to have a PRIVATE MEETING with JARED KUSHNER.

You're full of shit Hakeem.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

hakeem jeffries meeting kushner privately is a worse signal than him meeting the president publicly. not sure why you chose to talk about zohran here when jeffries has done both.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Ladies and gentlemen…the Democratic Leader!

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

"Moderates" apparently need to be told that the mayor of NYC having a PUBLIC, on-camera, open-agenda meeting with the President...

... is different from a Congressman's private meeting in secret with Trump's unelected consigliere for Israel.

And moderates attacked Mamdani for that meeting with Trump, too.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Well that’s true though: I do trust Mamdani’s intentions when he has a public meeting with Trump and gets a detained student freed, and I don’t trust Jeffries’ intentions when he has a secret meeting with Kushner who he has secretly been texting with.

[Matthew Schroeder @schroedermm]

@neeratanden Bad take. You’re grasping at straws. There’s a clear and important distinction. And you know it.

[Matthew Schroeder @schroedermm]

@mattyglesias @shannonrwatts Another bad take as usual Matty. Major distinction and optics from meeting w/ a sitting president for the good of one’s constituents versus meeting w/ a Trump family member opportunist wreaks of weakness for Jeffries w/ little apparent benefit for his constituents or the country.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

“I don’t want Jews in positions of elected office and I don’t want Jews having financial ties to the Democratic Party. I don’t like Judaism. If I could wave a magic wand, I would round up Jews and deport them from America. Most Democratic voters agree with me.”

I don’t want to sound like a broken record on this but can you imagine if a top adviser to, and ally of, President Joe Biden had said this? It would be the *only* story in America. For days and weeks on end. Biden and Dem members of Congress would be asked about nothing else by rightly outraged reporters.

So every American political reporter, editor, anchor, executive producer, reading this right now: ask yourself, why aren’t you as outraged when it’s Muslims not Jews, and Trump’s ally not Biden’s?

[Joel @JBenjamin2386]

@kwelkernbc This is clearly a hit piece. Angie Nixon never expressed support for any of these things. You are a bad faith actor pretending to be a journalist. Chuck Todd taught his successor well.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Remember that @EylonALevy was still in government lying on behalf of Israel when the Israeli government denied attacking Hind Rajab’s car.

What else were they and Levy lying about?

[Matthew Schroeder @schroedermm]

@davidaxelrod @realDonaldTrump @ossoff Disagree. Half of the electorate doesn't care about or understand messaging. They just want to see a fighter and feel hope that the candidate can improve their life/community in some way. The other half are tired of Dems bringing a knife to a gun fight.

[Girl Father @TIMBO_SL1CE]

@LyanneMelendez @UCBerkeley @CityofBerkeley @CityofAlbanyCA @UCBerkeleyNews What a dishonest grift to pretend you were near campus when filming this. Shitty of you.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

This response to Ann Coulter is utter perfection! 👍

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Rest in peace to this precious angel and the thousands more like her who were murdered by unrepentant monsters.

[Matthew Schroeder @schroedermm]

@shannonrwatts Damn Shannon. You’re floundering.

[Matthew Schroeder @schroedermm]

@shannonrwatts You're just mad and grasping at straws Shannon. See his subsequent clarifications.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Why did Elon Musk and a bunch of unqualified kids last year get access to so much of our private data while gutting a congressionally-created government department, USAID?

[Matt Lieb?? @mattlieb]

I love Ben Affleck. This is one of the top 2 Ben Affleck clips I never skip when it pops up on my feed. (The other is an interview he did in Spanish where he randomly sounds like he’s from TJ)
