Hakeem Jeffries denies withholding an endorsement of Zohran Mamdani (whom he has not endorsed). "I don't think we've withheld an endorsement," Jeffries says.

Asked how he'd fight Trump's plans to send National Guard to Chicago, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "I support the Chicago police department." "These are men and women who have taken an oath to protect and serve these communities, and they do a great job of that."
Well at least we didn’t end up bombing them. That would’ve been embarrassing!
The last thing I recall from Schumer was him calling Trump "Taco Trump" like it was the most clever thing in the world, and I believe the reason was because we weren't blowing up Iran

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: I'm Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, Nas, 90's into the 2000's hip hop aficionado. I don't really go beyond that. TIM MILLER: "The ABC's of Democracy" [title of Jeffries' book] - it's a little corny, no? JEFFRIES: It went viral for a reason.

Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."

“I said no immediately because it’s like signing up for the Gestapo,” the Guard source said. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-trump...
Rather than call them what they truly are, the Trump administration has designated an assortment of violent neo-Nazi and incel groups as "nihilist extremists," as revealed in new intel documents we obtained and shared w/ @kenklippenstein.bsky.social. #FOIA www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-agen...

The plan? Change none of Pete Buttigieg's policies but give him a beard and run him again in 2028
PETE BUTTIGIEG: "I think that we as Israel's strongest ally and friend, you put your arm around your friend when there's something like this going on and talk about what we're prepared to do together."

How many national emergencies have been declared at this point? I've lost track
Correction: the speaker is Favreau, not Lovett. Got my Pod Jons mixed up
The polling is really very clear on this
"O ne issue that's increasingly dividing both parties is the war in Gaza," says Pod Save America host Jon Lovett - but that just isn't true. Only a small minority of Democrats (8% per Gallup) support the war. The only "divide" is in Congress
Q: Would you vote to oppose sending weapons to Israel? PETE BUTTIGIEG: So much of this is complicated
Asked if it's time to recognize a Palestinian state, Pete Buttigieg replies: " I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's right to survival in the diplomatic scene."

trump seems to think so
Trump says of migrant farm laborers: "These people do it naturally." "I said to a farmer the other day, 'What happens if they get a bad back?' He said, 'They don't get a bad back, sir, because if they get a bad back, they die.'"
