Jeffries: The constitution requires the president has the responsibility to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Spending agreements passed through the appropriations process are law. When those laws are violated, the constitution has been violated.
Talk is cheap. If you haven't noticed the Constitution is meaningless right now.
Frankly, Scarlett, Trump doesn't give a damn. Sue him. Get back to you in five years.
Oh wow! Trump is violating the constitution! Thanks for that, we would never have known. If only there were some elected officials that could actually do something instead of preaching at the pulpit.
AND?
Laws and the. Constitution are only relevant if people in power defend them.
All bark no bite.
No shit how about the treason he has, is and continues to commit
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VIOLATED!
Yes, we have. This is rape and pillage.
IMPEACH!!!!
Great. So what is Congress going to do about it?
So now what? Handwringing and gnashing of teeth?
Exactly. This is all lip service. Tell me WTF you plan on doing?? I don't want to hear anymore speeches or flowery patriotic BS. I want action. I'm hearing BS about the courts. The courts??? So six months from now maybe something might be done about a couple of things. Maybe
And when the President violates the Constitution, you... Anybody? You... Remove him from power, yes.
Used to be- In theory but…
There's more than one way to remove a despot from power. We need to try all avenues. When you don't even try the regular way, you lose support for the next actions you take. And those actions will very likely have to be taken.
Been watching people drop the ball for 8 years now -I have no confidence but I’m willing to be pleasantly surprised
IMPEACH !
Trump has already been impeached twice.
to remove him, we need votes in house and senate. we had ironclad case before but the Republicans did not do the right thing. If they had, he could never have run again and we wouldn't be here. It's the GOP who are responsible for this debacle
I’ve been praying for a “DC Luigi.” (Us elder millennials, GenXers, and youngest Boomers catch my drift…)
Do you actually think a republican senate would vote to remove?
No, and you should flip through my feed before you jump to that conclusion. I want the challenge to be dropped on them. I want the entire country to once again watch them allow him to skate with no repercussions. I want this added to the list, and then I want it blared every time we suffer.
Yes.
A bill of impeachment will not be voted out of the Republican controlled House. It won't even be brought to a vote
The question is not whether it should be done; the question is what is the mechanism to do it. Right now the republicans hold ALL the cards.
You're almost to the finish line, so I'll spoil the ending. Violence is the only outcome.
They wouldn't hesitate to shoot innocent people (remember Kent State). And the republicans in Congress will hold firm because they think this is some sacred duty.
Many of my ancestors were wiped out because they wanted to wait to die slowly and painfully, instead of defiant, with 10 Nazi souls for every one Jew.
Mine too
Yep. If there’s one thing to learn from Republicans it’s that you never give up. You persist through good and bad. You add to the list, then you add again. And again. And again. You never stop trying because one day you will succeed.
Yep. Impeach, then have republicans on record of how breaking laws again is allowed. They will say, Well SCOTUS says he’s immune if it is a presidential act. The tight rope there is that “purposely” breaking the law is not a presidential act. So fucking impeach him now!
Great. Just know that won't change USAID being shuttered, DOE being shut down, FBI and DOJ being purged, attacks on everyone not white, male and straight, concentration camps being built, dangerous people heading critical departments and Musk knowing everything about everyone.
It won't change it, but it'll stop the people who are doing it. Can't type on a keyboard when all of the bones in your hands are broken.
My bad, I'm hopping around between DM's and comments. I am advocating for asses to be kicked in front of the entire world as an example to all the other Nazis. Impeachment won't work, but it will get people to pay attention. And when they let him off again and again, the people revolt.
Basically, don't avoid engaging in a strategy that can remove him from power. Try all avenues. The soft ones won't work, of course. But that justifies the hard avenues. "Well, we tried. *SMACK!*"
Ouch. Sorry about your hand. I am not against what you are saying. I guess I am really just thinking out loud. I hate this. We could have been spending the next four years trying to make things better for everyone and now we will spend them trying to hang on to democracy. Who woulda thunk?
Why would they hand over information on the agents that worked on the "riots case"! Makes no sense to me. Those agents were doing their job. It seems to be an overreach. Giving too much power to and it's straight bullshit that's being allowed!
Absolutely. Keep the pressure on your representatives to do everything they can.💙
Or a woman… 😡
that doesn't mean we don't fight
I never said it did. However, do not overlook the damage that has already been done. Letter writing, starter packs and good speeches aren't going to put America back together again.
I’m hoping what we’re starting to see is part of the ramp up to taking action. If Congress won’t listen to the case and keep voting on useless nominees- they’ll lay it out for the rest of the world to see. He’s already a felon and became president. Just arresting him won’t be enough.
What ramp up? Some speeches? What action do you think they have up their sleeve? They have only the power to obstruct and delay. The rest of the world already sees who he is.
you/we have to the spirit of freedom and liberation. we are planting seeds. a letter turns into community, a speech turns into a movement. if you go beyond the headlines if history, you see that movement work all started like this.
Baby steps but we need to keep it up.
He will shoot you in the streets without a second thought.
you're making assumptions about my 2a rights
Not at all. I have them also. What I don't have is an army run by a drunk, a militia I pardoned, a bunch of Nazi Proud Boys I pardoned or tanks. But, nobody lives forever. 💙
Herr Kleinehände couldn't hold anything larger than one of those "ladies" .22-caliber two-shot Derringers. I can palm a basketball, and one-hand a .44 Magnum.
Lol. He pardoned Nazis, and has his own militia along with a military run by a drunk and tanks.
open.substack.com/pub/statusku...
They are also not upholding their paths, but is there anything anyone can do about it? 😔
Pick up a brick and get to smashing.
Oaths
No. Today’s GOP lacks INTEGRITY and COURAGE. They won’t stand up to the convicted felon until he decides he no longer needs them and signs an executive order to eliminate Congress itself.
eventually yes. but it's a race between the republicans waking up, and the end of their democratic power to do so.
A run on the banks brings all of this to a screeching halt. The banks will remove trump when everyone starts draining their accounts.
I feel like they want us to try to break in and stop them. We will not act like they acted. We are better than that!
Nope 😂
Nope, every single one of them is stuffed up his ass like it's a clown car
Doesn’t matter, you do what you are capable of doing, like all of us.
I do. I think they actually want Vance. He's more palatable to them. We don't want Vance either though. This whole administration needs to be wiped out.
While both Vance, he comes without musk and without the cult following.
Of course.
IMPEACH !!!
Bravo!
LOCK HIM UP! That’s what you do!
We need to do what North Korea did, before it's too late.
South. What South Korea did.
Yes, derrrrp. I was just taking about NK on another thread. South!! :)
Bueller????
That started way too late. It took them 2 wks to come up with this.
Hey Chuck! Maybe try this plan in the Senate? indivisible.org/resource/how... Hey Hakeem! House D’s are mostly neutered, BUT Spkr. Johnson will need D support to avoid a gov’t shutdown. DON’T GIVE IT without MAJOR concessions! Make the R’s own it! A shutdown (a la Newt G.) is a strike opportunity!
Stop talking and do something!
they are doing something-they are letting us know steps so far. AOC alluded to this yesterday...that things were going on behind the scenes. I don't want them operating via tweet like POTUS
I agree - they are doing it legally. Most of Elmo’s moves will be stopped. We are living in scary times though and America looks weak and foolish around the world. Never thought I’d hear our national anthem booed at a hockey game. That was sad. But I don’t blame them either. Impeach that idiot.
💯 I can't help but be optimistic that this will be addressed and resolved. That said, it could get worse before better
If they were going to do anything, they would have stopped the vote certification on Jan 6. The Constitution states that an insurrectionist cannot hold Fed Ofc, unless an Amnesty vote is taken and the ineligibility is excused by 2/3 of the entire Congress. The count would go to Kamala. Lazy work!
Americans: So?
Are they going to write a terse letter? Will they put their hands on their hips and glare?
Ya think. What are you guys doing about it? Standing around wringing your hands and whining isn’t solving the problem. Somebody get a baseball bat, go over to the Treasury or OPM, find Musk and his maggots and beat the living hell out of them. Please.
If only!! My dream come true!
Well? Let’s arrest them both and charge them both with being a traitor.
But who enforces this? What mechanism prevents it? 🤨😠😞
They need to remove Trump in accordance with the Constitution (USC 14.3). As an adjudicated insurrectionist, he cannot hold Fed Ofc. If they don't remove him, then they are illegitimate too, for not upholding the Constitution. Call congress - this still is an option. He is an insurrectionist.
That fight has sailed...they're in control now.
And yet, the Supreme Court has given him immunity to break the laws of this nation while President, pretty much invalidating his responsibility to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Is it me or anyone else getting sick of hearing him speak ? He's no King He's no Obama He's no Preacher Get an original way of speaking and STOP. Action are what we need even if they fail actions are what we need. The time spent writing this up should have been spent writing Impeachment articles.
No, it’s not just you!
These are not the right people for this moment
All just words. Neither the Constitution nor the Oath of Office have any meaning to Trump. SCOTUS gave him total immunity, and no Republican has the spine to cross him.
Not only Republicans. Seems like quite a few of Democrats are scared of Trump, like Susan Collins. We should be demanding Susan Collins resignation for confirming a Russian asset into our Intelligent dept. 
Susan Collins is a Republican btw.
I misstated the comment. I meant she was on the fence and put out vibes she may not confirm, until Mike Flynn texts. I was trying to say, after Flynn comments it scared her and she fell in line, using her as an example
Fuck Flynn and the horse he rode in on.
💯
Anyone else thrilled with seeing Chuck Schumer these days. Just seems out of touch (as do most D's) and behind. WTF have they been doing since November? I guess: hoping for the best.
Tweedle-Dee & Tweedle Dum-Dum
No one is satisfied with Democratic Leadership these past two weeks. I do appreciate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer showed up at Treasury Rally. If you're not going to lead….. at least show up. There are 260 Democratic Members of Congress. Where The Hell Were They? Shut Down The Senate!
Lip service extraordaire. Will they impeach or not? Whose asking?
Please, stand around and do nothing. That seems to be working.
Ok, fine @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social how, please let us know, how you & congress are going to hold him to obeying the law? At present he believes to be untouchable.
Trump was impeached for this once.
Filthy fotus.
and how much more responsibility does Trump have for the hostile takeover of Treasury payments systems? Jail them all!
So, arrest him. Impeach him. Again.
Impeach his orange azz
These guys have to do more than talking
Congress better start acting like they have power of the purse not FOTUS
Impeachment proceedings need to start now!
And you all are doing what exactly to regain control from this illegal takeover?
AND??????? You should be over at USAID building pushing your way in and see if Trump's goons arrest you! You should be lying down on runways to stop jets from taking off to Guantanamo Bay!!!
"......the entire government gone like that. How did they get in, how did it happen? That was when they suspended the Constitution. ... There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction....." From "The Handmaid's Tale"
I hate to say this but the only way to stop this madness is for a National Strike. If 11 Million people stay home no work, no shopping. You saw how fast Trump backed down from tariffs after Market drop dramatically. They only understand money. Shut this bitch down.
A better idea would be for us to pick a date and just sell our 401k positions into Money Market accounts all at once. There is no risk for us in this, and the message would be extremely loud to the CEOs and their shareholders (Mutual Funds)...
In addition, a big enough shift into bonds will short stocks, increase, and lower prime interest rates. In addition, Trump's entire cabinet is heavily invested in crypto. A mass exit on this investment will hurt them significantly.
Let’s do it. I’m in. Name the date.
Not a bad Ide. but we need like 100 million people to do it and march..
A hundred million would be impossible. It would be nice to think we have a 100 million people concerned enough to do something, I’m just hoping we have 11 million that will do it.
I just posted about giving the NFL and Trump a black eye, since the NFL bowed to Trump. DO not watch, listen to, or interact online with anything to do with the Superbowl. Tell your friends. Give the NFL the lowest ratings for a Superbowl ever & at same time blame Trump for it due to his policies.
Boycott oil or burn oil for Trump to turn earth into hell
My sentiments exactly. General strike! T and his cronies only care about money. We should also stop buying from Amazon and Whole Foods markets until Bezos screams. I canceled my subscription items at Amazon.
Cancel Prime, buy local Or Costco
Thanks for the reminder on the subscriptions!
NOW !
No. A run on the banks ends all of this immediately. Everyone should drain their accounts and tell their banks they no longer believe the institutions can be trusted to protect their money and investments.
Only problem with that is most have direct deposit and have bills like electricity taken out electronically.
Also, emptying your accounts doesn’t mean you close them. If we don’t punish the banks for enabling this madness we deserve what follows.
You can put up a fight or you can make excuses and prepare to live under fascism. Your choice. My grandfather was 19 when he dropped out of Notre Dame and got dropped on Omaha Beach on D-Day. Which do you think is harder?
Yep
Spread the word.
We need this to be seen everywhere. Post this and have friends repost. I’ll do the same.
I love this, but it is too far down the road. We need to shut it all down NOW!
It will take at least 11 million people to make it effective, that takes time to get the word out. We are protesting at all 50 state capitols today. Spread the word about any and all protests. Thanks
Trump should “beware the ides of March.”
I'll be sure to inform my friends in our community.💙🐬🌊🐳
Im with you but it’s easy for me because im self employed so I can’t get fired. And will be easy not to shop for as long as it takes besides food
Go to generalstrikeus - they have it slated for 3/15 but IMO it should be earlier.
We need a large corporation to publicly say they will stop filling federal returns on an accelerated basis until Musk is arrested. If a bunch of companies follow, we’d win. Kevin McCarthy said during shutdown arguments that money comes in everyday through the accelerated system. Turn it off
I saw this before and shared it. I am not sure what they are asking for?
I don’t know why you hate to say that. Rising against them is THE only way!
Because I know how scary that can be for people with young families to take care of.
True, even for old folks. We’re going to lose everything if we all can’t unite against them
Exactly. From all appearances, the corporate puppeteers react to two things: losing big money and getting Luigi’d.
I agree. Could the Reddit account that automated getting the word out—or some other mechanism
I’m hoping they are. It needs to flood social media sites.
Sadly, I doubt this will ever happen. Too many Americans sleepwalk through life.
I also daydream about a tax strike. if they fire all the investigators…why not. or file late.
Check out @generalstrikeus.bsky.social. It’s a great movement and very well structured
They need a hell of a lot more signatures to reach 11 million. We need to work on getting the word out.
Absolutely. Anyone with connections to organizations with larger audiences would be helpful to make the connection and get promotion out. And we have to work in our community networks to get the ball rolling at the local level.
My daughter will be participating.
Yes! Teachers, Nurses, Air Traffic Control, Train conductors, public employees... If just one group walked out it would halt the entire country, but all of us together would change history.
We need to change history.
👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Agreed.
You’re so right but nobody’s organizing. I would help.
I realise actions such as these take some time to organise but considering events over the last 10 days, where might the world be after the next 10.
Well thank God we still have a constitution and courts to fight till then.
Not sure how effective we’ll be in that straitjacket when they don’t seem to give a shit about that or international law.
It helps to have a leader. What happened to Harris? I would think if nothing else, she would want to be part of the resistance to help keep it on an up and up.
I don’t think politicians are going to help us get out of this mess. It’s going to be up to us the people. One day National Strike.
What are they asking for?
This needs to happen.
It’s a shitty, weak, spineless party. That’s what happened to her. And i agree with you.
We will have to talk AOC into handling it.
AOC/Crocket 2028
That would be a winning ticket.
I am more Mayor Pete/AOC 🙂 But, either will work.
She’s out walking in the woods with Hillary bemoaning their fates. In between $100k speaking engagements that is.
Check r/50501 on here & Reddit. Also Occupy has some plans. Or, just join the crowds starting to gather at State Capitals & DC Federal buildings.
Agreed. I also suggest that the workers in the real slave pits like Tesla, Amazon, Walmart, name your own inhuman big business here, take it over. Declare it yours. Throw the managers and HR snitches out. Elect new managers. Call the main office and tell them it's not theirs anymore.
Stop shopping, reuse, recycle, repair and buy local when possible and Wall Street and the .01%ers will take notice. Votes from your pocket book are better counted than from your polling station.
I've been saying this since last Tuesday.... Covid taught us that when we don't show up, there is no plan. Hitting billion dollar companies in their pockets will shift all of this over night
Absolutely!! 👌 Everyone please (for the love of god) sign a “strike card” asap on generalstrikeus.com - my understanding is that when they reach 11 million signatures they’ll call a date for the strike.. and do pass it on y’all! 🙏
I agree. All they care about is $
I agree. But I don’t think people will actually do it. I went dark across all Meta for the week following inauguration. I’m willing to bet that far fewer people actually did it than those just said they were going to do it. ( and now my feeds are full of totally random bs so I’m mostly here)
I think it would be effective. If you include all part-time workers, too it would have a huge impact. A strike going for weeks, all government agencies, all TSA agents, all grocery store workers? That's one way to be heard. It would shake the foundation of society
I've been saying this since the day he was elected. People would rather trade grievances here...in a vacuum. All talk and no action, sadly. While the country burns and the constitution is used as one of his diapers.
Exactly right... DC/Corporate NEED our Spending to float their indebted boat... IF other nations see us protesting en masse and not cooperating--- it is not going to play well for DC WE have always had the power to stop them... by simply NOT spending money... I give those greedy cap's a week- lol
Now THAT might work for you. Squirrel up some acorns, organize and fight for yourselves! Bon chance!
SHUT IT DOWN
Feb 28, 2025 is being called as a "no spending day" across America. Buy nothing!
I work in a school. I hope like hell when they go after the doe, that we strike. Even maga assholes are gonna hurt when they lose their daycare
I've been screaming this since before trump! We teachers have been abused for years. This just makes the problems worse by orders of magnitude. We got to stop waiting for unions to save us and just walk out ourselves! We pick a date and we go!
This is so much safer than a march.
I agree
We are beyond that point.
So what point are we at?
I agree and have continued to support this idea. Only way it works. Screw their pocketbooks. I also thing we should file our taxes, but not pay anything. Refuse to pay.
I told my husband that exact thing. He looked at me like I was crazy.
You don’t go to jail besides the repugs always cut funding to IRS-
Same. But we should not pay taxes to a federal government that oppresses us & uses our money in furtherance of its crimes. And you know they’ll dramatically cut IRS. Make them come get them.
The IRS will just garnish it from any reportable income you have. And if you’re like us we always get refunds with std. deductions.
Mine said he wasn't going to jail for me.
😂
I will! When and where!
Secret Trump voter?
📣📣📣📣 FBI HOLDS THE LINE AGAINST PRESIDENT MUSK!!!! Information of 5000 agents were released to DOJ. Information on how RULE OF LAW through due process brought J6 INSURRECTIONISTS to JUSTICE. No names of AGENTS was given. Not 1, just the ass kicking deats #HOLDTHELINEFBI www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/p...
Time for a new husband?
File separately And Boycott oil
😂😂
They won’t have the time or inclination to come for you right away. They will send you notices and bills and garner your wages first. That will take months if not years.
I would!
Nice idea if not for the fact that Elon has all of our bank account numbers and has his grubby fucking hands at the ready for a major money grab.
I quit and pulled my 401k to live off. Double whammy. The way things are going, some may not get to retirement anyways. You can always live off social security in the Phillipines if we are still around.
I wonder if the employees that resigned are supporters of his because who resigns with no guarantee of pay and definitely no pension Fucking fools!!
Nah. Probably depends on their circumstances. Alot were prob dei and scared. Some may have not had much pension built up. Some can still get benefits. I doubt anyone quit over support of any Congressmen tho.
Congressman? I wasn't speaking of any Congressman. DEI! Scared of what! Many are misinterpreting DEI. I see no reason to leave a position with good benefits based on a bunch of clowns actions.
This!
Hard to enforce it if they lay off all the Federal workers.
That’s one reason we need to do this. Show them that Federal Workers make any and all governments work. Even FELON 47’s
Can also short pay or pay too much. Short pay 17.52 and it’s paperwork for them and small penalty to you. Or overpay by $3 and have them issue you a check.
That seems to be our only recourse but do we think enough of us could sustain that? Why do you think they attacked the Treasury so quickly?
It’s for one day on a Saturday March 15th. If you work on that day call out, no shopping, no travel. It only works if enough people do it.
So in 5 weeks we want everyone to stay home and then back to work, school, shopping the next day? To me that seems like only a blip. BTW, there have been at least two versions of this that I’ve seen - the other calling for “as long as it takes” and other long-term wording. Not saying no but…🤷♀️
It’s one day to send a message that we aren’t going to tow the NAZI line.
Getting close to Putins shithole. White house are breaking signed documents. Cannot be trusted.. Sound familiar?
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com So when will you be on the House floor with articles of impeachment? We all know he will not be impeached given the current congressional make up, BUT HE VIOLATED THE LAW AND HIS OATH. Your constitutional duty is to impeach him.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏻🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏻🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🙌🏼
Maybe that's why he didn't put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in.
You noticed that, huh? Yup.
Like a five-year-old who thinks they're discovered a clever work-around.
And sick fk Roberts let him get by with it!
Placing a hand on a bible is not a constitutional requirement for the oath. Jefferson and Coolidge used other documents. Trump may be the first to use none.
Get all Republicans on the record that they are behind the dictator.
Nice speech. Now, what's his plan?
Thanks for the narrative?
But try telling that to stoOpid people. 🙄
Here is their playbook. Our politicians seem clueless. youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no 1 Campaign on Autocracy 2 Purge the Bureaucracy 3 Ignore the Courts 4 Co-Opt the Congress 5 Centralise Police and Powers 5 Shut Down Elite Media and Academic Institutions 6 Turn Out the People
That’s the tip of the iceberg! Constitution has been violated, immigrants have been violated….trump and his klan are raping us on a daily basis!
Welp he's not going to. So because our judicial system is as slow as sludge... then what!
Take the gloves off
We The People Rise Up!
Jesus fucking christ, these two knobs
So what are you doing about it?
They need to locate their spines first, they seem to keep looking for it, with their tongue, on Trump's boots.
Exactly. Everyone is saying what is happening like we don’t already know but no one is doing anything. Creators sit behind their screens while they tell everyone to do something while they do nothing. Politicians do nothing.
Strongly worded letter where they are “deeply concerned” by his behavior.
Dragging them through the legal system. To ignore court rulings is to court Impeachment. For the Supreme Court to step in reflexively is to court their Impeachment. War Powers Act comes into play and Congress can order the military to remove him/her.
I'm not aware of any lawsuit filed by anyone in Congress.
I called my Senators and Representative. I am dialing back my spending. When I grocery shop I am choosing no name brands over big corporate brands. It’s not much - but for now that’s all within my power to do. But it’s something. If we all do a little bit it will make a bigger impact
To be clear my question was directed at Jefferies, and others in Democratic "Leadership".
We MUST get our sh*t together collectively & make the 26' mid-terms our JOB & get control back! It's the only way to STOP the deconstruction of America. They've run amuck! It will destabilize their agenda!
We’ve got to motivate and educate the non-voters, the youth voters, and the few normal republicans. Many are about to learn a lot of lessons and that will actually help. But we cannot stop sharing, posting, educating others.
I think this is it.
Exactly. People voted Democrats out of power now demand Democrats save them from MAGA fascism. Americans are a stupid helpless people.
A lot of people voted for democrats but our votes didn’t count , the election was rigged mail in ballots were rejected, ballot boxes were burned, bomb threats were called into polling places, polling places in some areas were shut down . It was won through gerrymandering
Agreed. But what is the plan of action? Telling us what we already know isn’t going to cut it.
Do you have a clue that this whole coup was rigged and set up over 8 years ago???
WE ARE NOT STUPID. YOU ARE NOT AN ALLY IF YOU CALL US NAMES. ARE YOU A MAGAT?
1) Fuck you. 2) Trump got 1.5% more votes than Harris, and got less than half the total votes. "Americans" did not vote that fuckhead in. 3) fuck you. 4) Even a minority party, if competent, is capable of doing things to keep this sort of rampant coup in check.
5) if your reaction to a fascist dictatorship is to blame the people being hurt by it (most of whom did in fact vote against this), you're a fucking sociopath.
I guess campaigning with Liz Cheney and promising Republicans in your cabinet wasn't what voters on the Left were demanding.
Or it's a stupid helpless system and maybe that needs to change
I don’t think you get it. Trump is changing it. He’s wants absolute power. That’s what you get when you change democracy.
No doubt Americans have been apathetic to the historical revisionism that has tacitly dominated their lives for decades. Now they are paying the price of purposely remaining ignorant about the world around them.
They dont understand most words you used. Its like gettin ur cat to critacly think or be rational.
You are stereotyping us ALL. Not ALL are apathetic or ignorant.
It should have had changes underway starting on day 1 four years ago.
Americans voted for a felon, a racist, a liar and a rapist. Many Americans are stupid
Changed or corrected? Correction is better then change. WE have great and successful laws on the books that are not being enacted.
It's going to change. Into autocracy. It will take a generation to get back to a baseline
Oh, it's already changed. Just not for the best.
The people who voted them out of power are not the same people begging them to save us.
And no we didn’t, there is evidence coming out of other countries stating otherwise! Oh he can get people to break into the registry , so much suspicions around our election, thrown out votes, vote buying, etc
Nope. They rigged the election. They can say it, so I can too.
no offense, but this is one of the more braindead comments I've read today. - and I've read a Ton.....
Not the people who voted for those democrats. Just because they lost the majority, they still represent their constituents.
Most of the people demanding Democrats use the same levers of government that McConnell and Manchin used to derail Biden's agenda voted for a lot of Democrats last November.
Maga has a slim majority in both the house and senate. Trump’s win was tiny. These dems aren’t helpless, they actually wield a lot of power but they’re not using it. Look at how many are caving on cabinet votes. They have powerful donors they can use but they haven’t
The neolibs share the same donors with the neocons currently burning the place down. The media is complicit. Even now every major paper and station are writing puff about these actions. This is 40+ years of propaganda and payola at work.
Actually, the 80 MILLION people who chose NOT to vote were the issue: there were PLENTY of intelligent, pro-Constitution, anti-MAGAT-cult voters: we literally only needed about 4 million voters (a little over 1% of the US pop) to vote FOR American values and our Constitution, but they didn't help.
Well dude, I voted for them; and I’m damn sure going to complain that they’re not doing a f;&$;&g thing.
What else can they legally do? Right now it’s the courts-then certainly there are going to be hundreds of bills introduced-including impeachment. But what other recourse do we have - just because they ignore the rule of law does than mean we should? I don’t know the answer
The usual #performativepatritotism
Speaking up now is better than silence but punching back and fighting is even better. And Schumer needs to go.
Thank you, Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn and everyBODY whose been in Congress over 2 decades. That's enough, time to RETIRE.
So file a gazillion lawsuits. Drag Musk in for questioning. Storm the DOGE buildings with a camera crew and expose them. Do SOMETHING!
The president is a convict. Did we think he was elected to follow the law.
it's literally in the job description...
Sarcastically of course he’s supposed to but it was insane to think he would.
Fight fight fight back!!! Finally.
Impeach!!
Well, get back to us when you've actually accomplished something. I'm sick of all the tweeting and the silly little press conferences. We need to know what's going on, and we need to know what you've done about it. You guys do an awful lot of talking, but doing on the other hand seems harder for you
It would be nice if Mr Jeffries and Mr Schumer would do something other than wringing their hands
This is exactly what they should be doing. The Constitution is the Alamo and the ammunition. They are escalating because that’s the best response to Trump’s malevolent and venal assault. By bringing it into relief they are rallying the cause. You want velocity, you should also want reason.
Just a thought - instead of yelling at Dems who _are_ doing something, maybe take even just a few minutes and call out the cowardly Republicans who haven't done/said a damn thing. R's took the same oath of office. Do NOT give them a pass. R's still won't do anything, but CALL THEM THE FUCK OUT.
Um...they TOLD US what they were going to do in Project 2025. Democrats had plenty of time to prepare.
That’s what the calls and e-mails to their offices are about.
Who says we can't do both?
Then DO both. Most of the people mad at Dems for not magically stopping this disaster singlehandedly haven't said word one about the Republicans who control the House and Senate.
You mean like calling out the Republican Dr. who voted to move RFK Jr. Out of committee all but assuring his confirmation? The Republicans have decided they're MAGA now. The Republican party is dead. Good luck trying to get one of them to do the right thing. Trump controls them. Dems are spineless.
Dems are doing everything they can within the framework we have. If you ignore the R's, they think they have a free pass. FUCK no. Yell at THEM. Call them the cowards they are. Demand Republicans live up to their oath of office for a change - and make sure they know we are watching.
Seriously, have you been paying attention to everyone on this platform screaming bloody murder as Trump and the GOP have been systematically dismantling our democracy?? At this point “we the people” are trying to turn to OUR elected officials, but they’re quiet as church mice. We need leadership.
Dems have NOT been quiet. Just because the media/FB/etc. aren't putting it front & center, doesn't mean they've been silent. Dems are doing what they can. Now I'm calling out the spineless Republicans who ARE staying quiet. They are the party in power, ALLOWING this. Tell them: We SEE you.
Not just "we see you," but "we will stop you." Threaten with lawsuits - they'll lie and, if they can't do that, then they'll obstruct the legal process just like Trump did to avoid guilt. They have money and violence backing them. Those are the only languages they understand. We should speak them.
Oh, same rules apply for legislative procees (which is really legal process, too). They're all super great at not getting shit done and claiming victory for the work of social justice movements and community organizers.
You don't look at the opposition in a war abd say. "Wow I'm really disappointed in you." You accept that they are your enemy and accept that your going to have to oppose them. But if your leader says. "Man the enemy is really bad." While they are shooting you. Yeah your going to call them out on it
R's are elected officials, who took the same oath of office every elected official takes. R's need to hear LOUD AND CLEAR that we are watching, and they need to stop being fucking cowards. Do NOT give them a pass. Peel even a few away from their majority, we can get somewhere.
Their the enemy this administration is going to end two ways. Civil War. Or impeachment Rs won't listen to reason.
They are wringing their hands about submitting a motion to prohibit big meanies of accessing federal data. The data breach has already happened. Devices, hosts have been tampered with. The legal framework against this already exists. Yet they are going to gently sit down & submit a motion instead
The R's hold power in both chambers, and the executive branch. Dems are constrained in what they can do by themselves in Congress. DEMAND R's hold to their oath of office. Things are close enough if we can get even a few of them to find their spines, something can be done. Do NOT give R's a pass.
I suggest you read this explanation of who is doing what, and why, before continuing to crap on them. There some things that _only_ elected legislators can do, and Dems have been doing that work all weekend.
Thank you for posting this. Honestly while I still feel lost, there appears to be some light in the tunnel
They are both so 'by the book' and nonplussed that it's disturbing. Sometimes you have to throw the fucking book of rules aside and jump into the fray to lead when the nation's entire foundation is being burned to the ground.
Ooooh ,watch out , these 2 might release a really strongly worded statement
They are living in the past. This seizure of power will continue regardless of lawsuits. Sad to say, other actions are needed! Democrats and many of their voters are not yet ready to take that action, so they will be screwed.
Well exactly. What is the action let’s organize and get it done.
We are all doing the Things that we can. Except you. You are putting us down.
No, lawsuits are still needed. Slow them down, frustrate them so they make a mistake, etc.
Suggestions?
But not you, right chief? Your doing the important work, replying on blue sky? What a fucking asshole.
We can end the MAGA trifecta if dems flip 3 house seats in special elections and make Jeffries speaker. Yes it’s a heavy lift but what do we have to lose by trying? Who’s to on board?
Came here to say that. Enough with the words. Get a plan together.
right? Like WTAF are they doing to stop this madness?
And we are going to make sure they know how pissed off we are with meaningless legislation.
Which sounds great but what can you do to enforce it. Weren’t all these weapons you hoard mean’t for the express purpose of stopping what MAGA is doing. Or are they only for if a Democrat government are misbehaving?
And …..
Oh no, not the constitution... Whatever will they do?
Right now these to are just a pair of bullsh*t artists. Where's the beef? How are you going to stop him? The american people want to know.
More talk. How about actually doing something boys!
Whatcha gonna do about it? No, really.
youtu.be/CVgNJf6CsBA?...
And… what are they going to do about it. Wait?!?!
Schumer looked surprised when Jeffries said laws were already being broken
Talk talk talk. But where is the action from the Vichy Democrats? Performance artists, but no heroes at the podium. Elon and Trump is burning the government to the ground and Democrats are yapping at cameras doing nothing.
What would you have them do?
They have to bring down the government, shut it down. Pam Bondi is now AG. Kash Patel is just hours away from leading the FBI. It’s at that point Trump turns the entire Justice system against his political opponents. There is nothing to stop him. The Democratic institutions have all failed.
Why doesn’t he just say they’re breaking the law and should be investigated?
So where are the articles of impeachment?
Talk, talk, talk… Dems are good at that. Meanwhile a South African is installing computers in a government building in order to speed up the theft of government data. Talk, talk …
Fuck off Boris. Yes politicians have the responsibility to speak to the citizens, to inform them about their govt and counter maga lies. ‘Dems shouldn’t be speaking out’ is the lamest BS yet.
I don't want to see either of them, ever again. All talk, no action. They're as spineless as the Reps falling in line for Dump.
So fucking do something about it.
And also having a civilian command massive changes in federal agencies is also illegal.
Right so they are committing crimes. Do something
We have a constitutional crisis on our hands. The question is: what can be done to stop it?
@schumer.senate.gov is a lost little Nutless Wonder. Go back to sleep, Chucky
Once more, with fury, Hakeem. It is not the presidency, ti is the executive branch, of which the presidency is a part. The rest of the executive branch has the same responsibility as defined in the constitution, whether the president is a criminal, or incompetent, or both.
And…..???
Just make sure you send him a strongly worded letter. That'll reel Felon 47 in ... #Democratsareuseless
And what are you doing about it?
Have the leaders of the Democratic Party figured it out yet, that the Trump administration, Elon and Republicans don’t care about the constitution pr upholding it? Until they do and become more aggressive, they are just blowing hot air up our rears!
Schumer thinking to himself "how is he doing his speech without reading it?"
open.substack.com/pub/statusku...
Great article, but I fail to see how it's a relevant reply to my comment.
Even if Trump didn't put his hand on the Bible while taking the oath? Red flag # 123,456,789
Because he knew he wasn't going to ever defend the Constitution.
And the nonzero risk the Bible would spontaneously combust upon him touching it
FOTUS removed the Constitution from the WH.gov website on Jan. 20th and it's still gone. He was never going to defend it just destroy it! #Resist
I think you need to add 3 more zeros at the end of that number.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com Finally, ya’ll finally read Project2025 hua? Like, duh.
Hey dipshit. They don’t care about the Constitution. Appealing to their “sense of duty” is about as effective as jamming your head up your ass to scratch your nose.
If words were actions, then maybe something would have been done by now.
Well, yeah! So so something to stop it!! Throw Leon in prison for theft of our personal information! WTF
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social And when the Constitution is violated WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT? Same for you, @chuckschumer.com.
I think tRumps definition of "executed" is different than those who actually faithfully execute the laws.
Yes. And what are the Democrats actually going to do about it other than submit legislation that won't pass?
In front of the treasury making noise! bsky.app/profile/bann...
Now THAT's doing something!
Go get them Jasmine @repjasmine.bsky.social 
@repstansbury.bsky.social has a video of herself out there too. More should post being out there.
Is she part of the oversight committee? Give ‘em hell. 
bsky.app/profile/reps... The entire oversight committee is out there.
Tomorrow may just be a good day to protest. 
About time
Get out there on the picket lines you 2. Yes! All hands on deck
It’s a #MuskCoup
Nice words, but what is being done about it. Meanwhile teenagers are mucking around in my personal data. This is so goddamn frightening. 1/
Cross reference SS# w/other data bases publicly available: party affiliation, ACT Blue donations etc. Write code to stop SS, tax refunds, medicare, cancel passports, freeze bank acct etc for anyone they deem 'communist'. Or just erase you completely, call you illegal & deport you. Dystopian. Yes?!
@papst-ny.bsky.social
Ok, cool! Now throw his orange ass out already!!!
And…….whatcha going to do about it???? Action is required as well as nice speeches.
did you listen? they are acting. I am reassured a little that they are litigating.
What will litigation do at this point? Your house is on fire and youre complaining about your heating bill.
Or, you CAUGHT the person who LIT your house on fire, and you wasted 4 years chasing him down through the judicial system, while not only YOUR house, but the entire city went up in flames. THEN, since he got away with it the first time, he came back to do it AGAIN!
Go, Democrats!
Where are the people who pledged an oath to defend their country? A hopeful world is watching and waiting
There’s a process to deal with presidents who break the law and commit high crimes or misdemeanors.
So what are you going to do? Put trump in jail? Lol. You’ve had plenty of chances already. You can’t touch him. You’ve failed.
So you're going to arrest him right?
Shumer with his disapproving eyeglasses. My god, get retired my man.
Well Hakeem, maybe you guys need to start the impeachment process… Let’s make some noise and turn the tables! I’m tired of just rhetoric. I’m watching all the United States citizens, personal data being compromised and stolen by a private citizen at the discretion of Trump.
They don't have the numbers. Stop praying for salvation, there are no Gods, do it yourself.
Filed yesterday… Have you?
It’s not about the numbers if we’ve learned anything over the past 10 years. It’s about messaging. Admitting defeat because of the numbers does not create the momentum necessary to overcome an adversary. That requires energy, a vision, determination and that carries to the election in 20 months.
Nazis don't care about messages.
There's not going to be a mid-term election if something isn't done NOW.
True… we need war time leaders in the house and senate. Ferocious politicians and leaders that will shape and mold messaging of hope and defiance of the actions currently being encouraged and tolerated. Jasmine Crockett, AOC… waiting for the pitch is stupid. Every shot not taken is a miss. Shoot!
A-fucking-MEN! AOC @aoc.bsky.social Jasmine "I ain't taking your shit!" Crockett @repjasmine.bsky.social Jamie Raskin: simultaneously fighting cancer and kicking Trump's ass in the J6 hearings!
Impeachment won’t happen, although I do think an article has been filed. Republicans would never, and it would take far too long. We’re gonna have to take this to the streets
He must be removed in accordance with the Constitution. USC 14.3 (Google it)
I think you miss the point. Common sense
The Constitution says he is ineligible to be Pres due to insurrection activity. Without the Amnesty vote required by Constitution, he should be removed. It's quick, legal, & no need for GOP. His votes are ineligible too, so Kamala wins the vote. Dems are just afraid to uphold the Constitution.
Colorado impeached him. We took them off the ballot. The Supreme Court override it. This isn’t a Democratic issue. It’s a SCOTUS issue.
However, SCOTUS did not say he was OK to hold office. Yes, it's a stupid ruling - either say he can hold office (although that would be against the Const.). Or, stay out of it (states can ban non-citizens from running, because of Const.) It's a grievous ruling. Face it oligarchs own SCOTUS.
Exactly! As soon as they gave him immunity, it was game over
Maybe a different strategy works better. Trump doesn’t like to be president. He likes to host a game show to pontificate to be an asshole. He has a whole bunch of other people who do the work. You focus on the soldiers because the general is too lazy and not smart enough. Musk will be the next Rudy.
This is just a terrible take. They impeached him, republicans wouldn’t convict. Then the Supreme Court gave him immunity. You may need to find someone else to blame besides the Dems. May seem foreign to you, but give it a try any way
The war is propaganda. Hitler found that a lie repeated 13 times became accepted as fact. To combat that the truth has to be doubled. Impeachment from multiple directions is one way to create a chink in the armor so the truth can come out. It can change the outcome if the election in 20 months.
I agree with you 100% on the propaganda statement. My grievance is that Dems did not uphold the Constitution! On Jan 6 they should have called for an Amnesty Vote (per Const) to clear Trump's insurrection status. W/O 2/3 vote, Trump loses. His votes not be certified and Kamala gets the most votes.
Oh, there’s a lot of things I disagree with the Democrats on! That’s a nice thing about the Democratic Party versus the GOP. It’s a mess because it’s democracy. What we need is wartime leadership. Not a kindergarten teacher with Play-Doh and safety scissors going to a gun fight. This is war.
Um, the streets do nothing for us if we're marching just to yell and blow off steam until we can vote again. Resistance movements rise to resist. Money and violence is all they understand. So...
And?

I seriously thought about running for school board when I was in my early 20s one of the regrets in my life is that I didn’t do it. Because after that, I didn’t really have time. Do it young people run for something it’s important!
I did take on a leader of the cub scout local pack! That was fun! They never had a pine wood derby , so I got a carpenter friend build the pack a pine wood derby Track? The kids had an absolute blast!
Aww my son actually won the pinewood derby! Thank you I had forgotten about that.
I still have mine! I won best design
Still have the trophy too!
I don’t know if my son has his or not or if I have them stored in my other child’s attic. But they knew the car wasn’t fast enough so they put a nickel on the front of the car so it waited down the front and it went faster. He was so proud.🤗
I did win in my troops race! And was moving onto the next level. The day of the race my car was on the counter I went to grab it and it fell to the floor, the nail snapped out the bracket! First run down lost badly!
Ya I'd thought about it !
I hope some young people won’t just think about it like we did!
But, he didn't put his hand on the Bible so 🤷♀️ /s
A flurry of Righteous litigation! Good lord man, you might as well have said, “we’re not going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe man!!!”
OK fine. Go to court. And if he doesn't obey the court order, what will you do next?
As far as I am aware national constitutions have never stopped a coup taking place . . .
South Korea used it's Constitution to prevent martial law. It lasted only 3 hours. Two other countries were involved in similar actions.
Blah blah blah…DO SOMETHING! Stop 🛑 talking about it!!
Ya ya ya. And who is going to prosecute Trump for breaking the law? His DOJ?
LOL...Bondi would sooner give him a bj....
Did the Dems let this happen!
Not for this guy there are zero consequences. Goodluck America, you voted for this. You joy your measles with a side of smallpox.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Impeach 47
Kick him OUT! The faster the process begins the greater the success!
It's called a COUP D'ETAT for a reason. I still can't believe you guys think Trump is playing fair when you know he's not. Storm DC and take back your country before things get worse
Let’s not call it “Doge” like it’s an actual department. Let’s not normalize their made up language. The more we don’t call out that this isn’t a recognized department with actual legal or defined function we must call it what it is “the great steal”. This is a crimes act against the American people
Yes! "The Great Steal".
I call HIM DOGE. As in "Deputy DOGE" "Dumbass DOGE" "DOGE the Dick"
Schumer(and Pelosi too, y'all know she still pulls the strings) need to get out of the way!!! Idk about Mr. Jefferies though, I want to see more action and less spoken work poetry.😒🤷🏽♀️ youtu.be/7GM_MCon1k8?...
Golly Gee Gosh Sherlock! Good catch. What action(s) are you going to take about handling it, Leader Jeffres?
On point. How bout it? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
"....the constitution has been violated." That's their plan - DUH!
Impeach!
THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?
Trump breaks the law before he takes his morning dump. As a matter of fact, I doubt you can name a law that he hasn’t broken. Except maybe the laws of physics.
He should break the law of gravity.
So write articles of impeachment, already!
Blah blah blah. Democrats just talk. If you want people to respect the party take action.
And what are y’all doing about it? Too much talk and no action
YES @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social set that *groundwork language* Americans deserve to hear: violation of our Constitution and our laws. Illegal, Unlawful, Unconstitutional... I would add his decisions are "terrorizing" American citizens and upending their lives (whether some know it, or not).
So why aren't you fighting back? Where's the DNnC lawsuits? Speeches don't mean or do anything!
Impeach him!
IMPEACH NOW
Any thought that trumpinfurer would do that are delusional at best
“The Constitution has been violated.” And, yet oddly enough, Trump couldn’t care less! Do something to f*ucking stop him! And his ilk!
Like the man got away with insurrection, fraud & rape. He could care less about what they do. He wants it to go to the supremes because that’s where the final fix is guaranteed. The Heritage folks have been planning this for decades.
I’m trying to figure out why ANYONE is surprised! 🤷♀️
NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Now DO SOMETHING!!!
And pray tell what are you doing about it other than giving speeches and praying???
Once again, Too Polite. This requires boxing gloves, not silk mittens.
Give me @repjasmine.bsky.social All day long!
Republicans are playing 3 dimensional chess in their hostile takeover of government and these guys are just describing the constitution
Exactly! Dems are planning a Checkers game, not a 3D chess game.
Impeach the bastard
Don't forget the Supreme Court said trump has full immunity for things he does while president 😞
Now that Jeffries has told us that, WHAT ARE HE & THE DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY GOING TO DO ABOUT IT OTHER THAN TALK? ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS!
There is nothing he or other dems can do that we can't do as citizens. They have no more power than us. We actually all know what must be done if we want to stop this but we are too scared to do it so we yell at the democrats. Destroy Musks factories and this will stop.
Mitch McConnell never had a problem wielding his power while in the minority. Dems should’ve been taking notes.
Worldwide protests at his factories around the world 🤷♀️
We know!!! So what are you actually DOING about it!
Yes, we know. What are you going to do about it?
He said it there. They're litigating and will continue to litigate more.
I'll continue to ask. They were all way late in their response.
SCOTUS can only hear a dozen or so cases a session, and they're booked out until October, I think. If the liberal circuits provide injunctions, then it's going to slow dumbasses' progress down tremendously. That's why Biden placed so many federal judges.
Yup to all.
Flood SCOTUS with all of this!!
They impeached him TWICE. They never tried him on sedition. He’s gonna do whatever he wants and Congress won’t do shit.
As far as I know, it’s not too late for sedition charges. 
There was no statute of limitations on treason in the before times. There clearly was a statute of limitations that we were not aware of on life, liberty, health, happiness, spinal columns of politicians, the rule of law and the constitution.
Tell us what you’re gonna do about, or STFU!!!!!
They already blew it bigtime. Trump is an illegitimate POTUS, according to the Constitution. Congress is now illegitimate, because they did not uphold the Constitution. Maybe another country will call us out for operating without a legitimate government. Maybe we withhold taxes until a legit gov
So DO SOMETHING!!
IMPEACH
DOGE is committing crimes because they are an illegal govt committee
Not even a govt committee. They are a private ad hoc committee tasked with duties outside the laws of America.
So do something Jeffries. Or are you still waiting for your pitch before you swing. This is why Dems suck. The do nothing party.
"Constitution?" Seriously? As if.
Maybe impeach him.
Since when has the FELON cared about the law?
They need know Russian History. Rebellion purge n repeat. U r with them til ur not.
Oh my, maybe someone should DO something about this, right?
Talking and posting memes won't do anything. SUE like Trump did after he lost the election. It works, he's not in jail as he should be. SUE TRUMP & MUSK for every order & violation of constitution and Law. Don't wait until he disbands congress with a fake emergency. It will be too late by then.
Pretty soon a new MAGA hat will show up.
A new MAGA hat probably made in China if that means anything.
I meant that we are really gonna be screaming to make America great again.
This would be the best campaign EVER to have a reverse impact. Blue hats with MAGA. Oh they’d hate that, but it would drown their hate out.
Hey, Rep. Jeffries - thanks for telling us what we pretty much already know - NOW DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe walk down the hall to the Senate and get Chuck and Quislings approving every Trump junk drawer secretary to stop approving all these morons?
So, who holds him accountable? If I don’t perform my job, I get fired!
Since when did Trump and his lackeys care about spending agreements and rule of law? What else ya got?
Impeach and then warm up ol sparky
Republicans are to busy taking advantage… did you know a senator in Illinois is trying to block porn… like seriously wtf do you care what people Do in The privacy of their own home,
blah blah blah blah
Time to get an #IImpeach47 hashtag going; about as useless as Dems are for opposition, but still.
Actions behind the words will have greater effects.
So will they be drawing up Articles of Impeachmet? They should. GOP will shoot it down, but get it on the record that the Dems fought this, called out his illegal activity
Yes, these facts are obvious. IMPEACH on grounds of OATH OF OFFICE
I am not sure the ones they are dealing with care about the law, but I am so happy to see them taking them on. I think Elon should be summed to the house floor and while there lock him out of all the other agencies
