It is a distraction & a power grab & fear-mongering & white supremacy & on & on & on. Thanks for reminding us it is not an either/or situation, but a web/net of interconnected tactics used by the mobsters/monsters currently in control of the federal government.

Policing Dem cities to intimidate and control who can vote in the midterms

It’s never a “Crackdown”. It’s always an invasion!

So, according to Jeffries, Trump doing authoritarian things is a distraction from Trump doing authoritarian things. Do I have that right??

Go fuck yourself Hakeem .. You are the problem , not the solution ..

The DNC leadership spine is a wet noodle. Get rid of these cupcakes ffs.. or at least they need to get out of the way. What an embarrassment.

The red states are to make it look like they are treating all states the same but the blue respond with hostility. He sends 100 troops to red states but yet the pentagon is working up a plan, which means thousands of troops.

WTF is wrong with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? We are looking at losing more American lives and this dipshit is play political theater.

Really. When in the Fuck are we going to decide that the Epstien files are the distraction from the Dictatorship taking place. The Dems could have released those files during the entirety of Bidens administration distraction. Screw Hakeem Jefferies.

Jeffries should not do these shows, it highlights his ineffectiveness.

I think it's both and more.

I wish he would just speak English.

Let’s win the F’ing house and make Eric Swalwell Speaker. Jeffries is a broken record

It kinda seems like they already seized it… And Dems in Congress don’t seem to be all that concerned, apparently (aside from those few who are out here with the rest of us saying WTF…).

Thank you for saying it out loud.

Oh how I miss Nancy Pelosi as leader of our party!

No plan, no action. We are in desperate need of new leadership in the house and Senate.

This so weak and ineffective. Oy.

Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t get it. Lack of awareness of the seriousness of the situation. The United States is at the onset of an authoritarian/fascist government. Civil/Constitutional rights being removed. There are no guarantees that there will be fair elections (or elections at all) in 2026 & 2028.

Both can be true...

just look at who they target and how little they care if they have the right guy.

Well you ruined Tourism in DC and everywhere is less busy. If you want to stiff the economy deploy the army. Keep doing it Trump!

The word ‘distraction’ should be banned from Democratic leadership mouths. If they can’t get their head around the fact that Trump is advancing fascism on multiple fronts at once, they should make way for people who can.

Agreed. This “distraction” thing is just minimizing what’s happening. It makes NO sense to discredit their actions as performative. It’s not a side show or a shiny object, it’s reality.

One might think that sending the military into American cities deserved some attention in its own right, but apparently it’s a distraction from the price of eggs or something.

U.S. Armed Forces are not America’s Police. The Commander in Chief is Corrupt. Do Not Obey Unlawful Orders. Broadcast this message everywhere you can. Our troops need to hear it. We cannot fight our own army.

while people keep on with this "is a distraciton" "this is adistraction of the distraction" they all fail to understand - they are not trying to distract from anything, that was in the past now they go grap everything - while people still watch and do nothing

It’s both a power grab and a distraction. He’s trying to distract We The People from stopping/protesting all the evil and cruel things he is illegally authorizing. Repubs in Congress need to unite with Dems to stop him & his regime. Together they can fight to save & strengthen the US democracy.

Don't worry, I'm sure Susan Collins is very disappointed in all this too.

We need the D leadership to realize this

It is a full on effort to seize power. It’s not a little side show. It’s happening and it’s the most important thing to address right now.

They overplay that distraction comment.

That man continues to give no fecks. He is feckless. We are an opposition party without a leader. He sure can rhyme though.

it is BOTH

He's weak.

He’s not up to this moment in history.

True, and it is really a pity, because Jeffreys would be fine in more peaceful times.
