Thank you for fighting for America. Absolute insanity! Where is my America. This is not about any party this is about our constitution. Government, our government, is supposed to protect the public interest. Not destroy it.
I appreciate @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social but Democrats have been in this position too many times. You have got to start playing the long game. Focus now on what you want America to look like in 2035. Dems need to win back state legislatures, as well the White House and judiciary.
All Jeffries is doing is delaying the inevitable. I have elderly family members on Medicaid living off of Social Security. I'm really afraid if they get cut off their healthcare, they will die. They will not be able to afford the overly priced medications that keeps them alive.
May Donald Trump and the MAGA cult all suffer the fate they have devised for others times 100%.
To what actual use?
What do you want? We placed them in the minority. Unless the GOP votes against their own bill "minor inconveniences & slowdowns" is all the Democrats can do (which is what they have been doing).
Thank you Jeffries
I wonder, if it was Mamdani up there, what would the Democrats say?
Great job! Keep going!
Yeah, so
Ok great, with any result?

Yup, Americans voted (again) for Republican devastation
Bravo to Honorable @housedemocrats.bsky.social Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for speaking & standing up so long, wisely, strongly & bravely for We the People, & also to Honorable @adamsmith.house.gov for 1) sharing that we must #StopTrump’s cult of authoritarians to protect everyone, & … 1/2:
2) for emphasizing that we must #StandWithUkraine fully to #StopTrump & #StopRussia’s Axis incl. China & North Korea who are all committing war on us globally & in the U.S. as our nation battles #authoritarianism. Hear Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee @adamsmith.house.gov: 2/2:
Hopefully constituents of the House Republicans are blowing up their phone and email lines and applying more pressure.
Hold the floor!
There's your House filibuster everybody... I want to see him go the whole 24 hours, possibly even more to the point of breaking Cory Booker's filibuster speech in the Senate (though the record for the longest speech right now in the House is 8 hours and 32 minutes).
To what end? It’s not enough. We need more than words.
