Because FEMA is closed.
No Crockett I have no faith in Jeffrey's he's old guard
Make Jeffries speaker so that YOU can give him a vote of no confidence like you did Rep Green?? Moskowitz’s opinion is irrelevant to me. He’s useless when it comes to action.
THIS right here. Agreed, KFizzle. ^^^^^^
We need to make sure elections are free and fair too. Too much voter suppression and ballot shenanigans going on. Democrats need to address this if we're going to win. Rs will do everything they can to disavow ballots, suppress votes, restrict votes and so on!
Or someone else we won't have to worry about.
Yes, we absolutely must get the House back.
I don't think that is it.
Harem is OK but I belive, given the chance, dems should look deeper and possibly someone with "new" and maybe more intuned with presenting their points using todays media more effectively.
That sounded like a headline from The Onion. How about calling in the illegally fired Joint Chiefs of Staff and JAG members and fking get these traitors out of our fkn HOUSE?? The weaponized incompetence and complicity from the Dems is nauseating.
The only way to stop this is if we refuse to participate. Stop buying their shyte, stop serving their “meals” and needs. Just stop the wheel.
Goddamn. You had me all the way up until the name. Current leadership has to go. All of them. No fight.
My vote goes to AOC, and I’m a moderate!
Me, too! Also a moderate and AOC would be a great choice.
Dunno if he’s right, but I’m willing to give it a try. What we’re doing now isn’t working.
Leave it to the Dems to not see who the base wants as a leader. Jefferies seems nice but I've personally have never gone out of my way to listen to him speak in this age of 30 second sound bites. But I have for a former BU student who's now a congresswoman.
We’ve had it with the Dems. They send texts and emails constantly asking for money. For what?! I give directly to AOC and Jasmine Crockett.
Always give directly. Too many randos take a piece of the pie.
Same. DNC doesn’t listen to the actual people in the party.
“The fall of one regime does not bring in a utopia. Rather, it opens the way for hard work and long efforts to build more just social, economic, and political relationships and the eradication of other forms of injustices and oppression.” ― Gene Sharp, From Dictatorship to Democracy
Hakeem will then shift to trying to “ work across the aisle” 😒
🤬🤬
He has got to have someone in his pocket. I don't trust him.
💯
Maybe we’ll have a free and fair midterm election. But I question that. They blatantly slashed things their constituents depend on. They’re either counting on the abject stupidity of their constituents, or they don’t have a reason to worry about winning a free and fair election.
Well he hasnt shown any indicators of doing anything meanginful yet so I wont hold my breath....
lmao wut
you need to either include CC options in your clips, or include another link that goes to the full version on YT or wherever THAT HAS THE CLOSED CAPTIONS. in any case, November 2026 is much too far away
Waiting till midterms is just giving up. As is thinking Jeffries would somehow morph into a leader
100% agreed. i mean, vote accordingly at that point by all means, but there's a fuckton of stuff we need to do before then
i think too many people think t2.0 is going to be a rerun of t1.0 and IT WILL NOT BE we're not going to have a 2018 moment to save us. the work has to happen much earlier. as fast as he's been destroying we have to work to counter
This time around is unbelievably malevolent. Much worse than I had imagined. I am involved with a local Indivisible group. But I dont see us changing the course of history. I believe that we have to have large scale non violent action.
yes, same
www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...
trump sycophants know time is of the essence.
Hakeem Jeffries??? He's been a HUGE disappointment. There is such better leadership in the House.
Moskowitz is a traitor. He continuously votes for the Republican agenda then turns around and tries to get viral moments in the senate. He’s a grifter like @booker.senate.gov.
Do they really think there are going to be free and fair midterm elections?
Uuuh is it the only way? Really? Thats not good.
If it is. We. Are. Doomed.
It's a good thing he voted to censure Al Green. Why do you have this opportunist on your show?
Is it true that defense, CIA, and FBI have not been cut in any way?
They seated an insurrectionist, we HAD a 14th Amendment for a REASON. They ignored it, at their peril. Don't give them another fucking dime. @magaziner.house.gov @reed.senate.gov
Surely there are other ways the message can be sent earlier than that? 😬
Yes!
Cowards and thieves running our country .
That's it? That's the big plan? Sigh.
They’ve thought long and hard on this. Since November.
And ARRESTS!!!
Step #1: People have to vote and until those decide to vote nothing is going to change. Where is Hakeem? Cory has been out with the people and hosting events. Hakeem sure hasn't.
Jeffries is a putz. Completely uninspiring and milquetoast. Read the fucking room. We need a fighter.
So many negative comments here, but team, we have got to win back the House. Job #1. (and I know - that's assuming there's an election.)
Shove your blue no matter who crap. That’s why we’ve had four house members die in the last year. Out with all the corporate establishment. We knew ideas and new leadership. David Hogg is right.
Luckily for you we won’t have fair elections ever again, so we won’t get Jeffries or ANYBODY other than a Republican speaker ever again.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Respectfully, we are going to have to find a way before 2026 or forget about it.
Mr. Moskowtiz, how many times have you voted with the Republicans and why?
That’s my question of why he ever voted with GOP, like what the heck.
Democrats don't even try to represent their voters with stuff like this. They are so busy trying to win Trumpgret votes they have forgotten us.
The hate their base and anyone left of Reagan
It really is kindof adorable to me that people think these KKKristofascists are going to allow there to be free and fair elections in 2026. We had our shot. We blew it completely. There's no going back. People were warned and were to arrogant to listen. So now we reap the whirlwind.
Trump definitely stole the 2024 election with the help of Musk. He’s just going to do it again since the democrats did nothing. Not even one precinct recounted with all the bullshit and irregularities.
Is he serious about that statement? Jeffries comes off as a flat tire. But sure, let’s give him a chance , I’d like to be proven wrong.
He’s had a chance.
Fair enough. I’d actually much prefer to see AOC as the leader.
AND, he could stop voting to confirm MAGA appointees and actually show some fight for the people and not the donors and special interests.
Neither Moskowitz nor Jeffries has voted to confirm any MAGA appointees.
I had hopes for Moskowitz, then he voted with the Republicans, Corey Booker the same? What gives guys?
Donor money
Imo, Jefferies isn't who we need, he's had enough chances that he's blown, even though he is a good speaker. We need AOC.
I am SICK of these Republicans, and I voted for them for YEARS!!!!!
biggovernment.substack.com/p/america-ca...
Do it! "Speaker Jefferies."
Nope. Moskowitz is all for Netanyahu and his genocide of the Palestinians. I could give a rat’s ass what this asshole has to say.
If Jeffries is the answer, you got the question wrong.
No. Enough with the Zionist puppets who cheer about "bi-partisan" financial, diplomatic, & military logistic support for the genocidal, apartheid settler-colonial, terrorist, Israel. He needs to go.
Why doesn’t anyone address the environmental catastrophes this bill will create? Forget having clean air and water.
Yeah, if the Senate passes their bill, it's all too late now. There won't be anything a Dem house can do about it by then.
You gotta be shittin’ me.
Blame lies with the voter who voted these self-interest people into office. It's not dems do your job it's you the voter. Shame on you for not looking past your nose when voting.
Nope. It’s a politicians job to get people to the polls. If democrats failed at that that means they had a bad campaign or candidate. Personally I think it was both.
Don't forget the work requirements for children.
Ugh, not Hakeem! This ain’t the time to bust a rhyme. We need a real leader to take real action, not just a camera hog trying his best to emulate Obama.
If you peruse the replies in this thread, you'll find that most people apparently believe the Speaker of the House's job is to create entertaining social media content.
Ok, but could it be Jasmine Crockett?
These people have to be getting money from republicans right? There’s no way they’re all this stupid.
I feel like there are other ways. This sounds like some “status quo” bs. “This is the only way so don’t blame our party for inaction when this doesn’t happen.”
"The only way to stop em is to put someone who'll bend right over in their way"
I'm all for that, but what do we do in the meantime?
Yeah, we can’t wait that long and the GOP will find every possible way to cheat.
@repmoskowitz.bsky.social WE DO NOT HAVE UNTIL 2026 😡 Trump admin regulators launch investigation into Media Matters, adding to pattern www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Yeah! Time is of the essence but that’s one thing that’s not in the oppositions favor. Act at Sonic speed!
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Mind Blowing CORRUPTION 😡😡
bsky.app/profile/af68...
This is no shock. Unfortunately, there are so many people that just don't understand it. Don't care about it. ETC. IT LITERALLY IS INFURIATING.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
This is beyond upsetting And this corrupt, horrible, human being, still has approval rating that hovers around 40% One might ask themselves, how can this be? Well many factors are Fox News, OAN, Rogan, etc. AND just plain stupidity, ignorance and prejudice.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
This is scary!!!!!
bsky.app/profile/af68...
He's shit. Try harder. Why are they even interviewing this Republican-Dem? He's awful.
How about Jamie raskin. The expert on the Constitution
Bullshit. Absolutely not. Moskowitz is also the feckless twat that said he and Jeffries want to take the Dems as far to the right as they need to because he thinks that's what it will take to win. Jeffries can under no circumstances become speaker.
I agree republicans are drunk with power. But I’m having a hard time going along with Jefferies. I’m not convinced that he’s the right choice for speaker.
Nope. AOC
ONE way! Not the ONLY way!
I can’t stand to see Jeffries talk. His slow, measured cadence makes me want to rip my skin off. Same with Grandpa Schumer. Just no.
How about a speaker who stands up to these jerks? Jeffries is not that person.
No thanks.
How will that happen if you disallow people like AOC or Jasmine Crockett to become what they are meant to be, true leaders
And there's the truth. Too many democrats would rather protect their own power, wealth, & status, than protect those of you that voted for them. Until that changes, nothing will. It's the likes of AOC, Sanders, Crockett that will b the change, if the everyday voter makes enough noise.
third party
That's the way to go. Here in Australia we have a large number of independents sitting on the cross benches, last parliament they held a balance of power & influenced a lot of policy. Like U, the 2 major parties R trying 2 alter rules to make it harder for them 2 get elected.
Wrong. Hakeem Jeffries is an ineffectual pussy.
What if, hear me out, we made a better Dem choice speaker instead.
Sounds like radical leftist talk. /s
😂😣😞 They STILL don't GET it, do they?
Hard to get it when democratic leadership is being paid by Blackrock and Bain to not get it.
That will just never happen. Too many racists in our government.
100%
Dems need to stop playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules, get in the mud with Repubs and fight to win. Find 5 vulnerable Congressmen, find out what their lobbyists pay them and offer to double that to switch to Independent and caucus with the Dems like Angus King. Bribes are legal now, Right?
That’s not the answer I was expecting.
It should be a woman. They seem to be the only ones with any balls to push back against all this bull shit.
I thought Moskowitz was going to again call for; DECORUM, at any cost!
He did...Jeffries is the "sedate" choice. We need a lion, not a house cat.
What a joke
THATS YOUR WINNING MOVE? 😳🤬🤯
No. They need new leadership in both houses for the DC Dems. Someone who refuses to take super PAC money.
Jeffries? lol no. We need a leader who isn’t afraid
And leaders that aren't bought out by the same wealthy parasites that own the GOP!
Fuck that, make AOC speaker. Hakeem isn’t inspiring or has a pair of nuts
Orator or action figure
Didn't realize Ken was an action figure...
😬 I’d rather have @aoc.bsky.social as Speaker of the House.
Another way to STOP it? Find out how Elon and MAGA cheats likely rigged our election. Jeffries doesn’t stand a chance of winning now, we have been snookered, hacked and unfortunately can’t prove it, yet.
Milquetoast Jeffries. I don't think so 😕
Or take up arms and fight.
We are cooked if that's the only way .
I don't trust Hakeen Jeffries either. He's been slow and ineffectual to respond to all this. He needs to step aside if he's unwilling to lead in a crisis.
I agree with you and it kills me. I don’t know what happened to him.
We don’t want Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker … give us a freaking break …
Hakeem sucks! Does nothing but practice hand gestures in the mirror!
Moskowitz votes with MAGA! He needs to be primaried! Next?!
We must do this.
Which ain't going to happen because Dems keep electing older than fuck people who keep dying in office. It takes a minimum of 6 months to replace them even if it's a safe Democratic district.
Dems need new leadership.
Desperately.
@repmoskowitz.bsky.social Dare to dream a little bigger than Hakeem Jeffries.
The sad & horrific situation makes many of us think - what if there are no more elections? Seems Trump & his Republican crime syndicate don’t seem to care about polls or their constituents’ opinions anymore. Maybe because they all have been told not to worry - elections will be “fixed” or ended.
The only way you're going to stop them is by actually using the 2nd Amendment for the purpose for which it was originally written. And the sooner you soppy cunts realise that, the better.
To fight foreign invasion because we didn’t have a standing army?
Sorry...but no. We need someone angry and fed up. We need someone cold, calculating, and heartless. We need a type who will punch fascists, Nazis, and Constitutional traitors in the mouth every time they rear their ugly heads. Hakeem Jeffries ain't that bro. He's far from it.
how about real fighters like Adam Schiff or Jamie Raskin or Chris Murphy
Raskin is the only one in the House: Schiff and Murphy are both senators 🙄
My bad, I'm fucking stressed bro.
Raskin works for me.
You're saying if the Democrats win, they should try doing nothing *even harder*.
Sounds like the @democrats.org Politburo
I agree, we need a different Speaker, but I'd prefer AOC over Jeffries.
The Speaker's job would be to organize and lead House Democrats, and to strategically schedule House business for legislative achievement. AOC has never introduced any legislation, and she just finished a nationwide tour of anti-Democratic Party rallies. That's the opposite of the Speaker's job.
Thank you for this comment. Most of us have no idea about what the Speaker does day to day. Is Jeffries a great public relations guy? Maybe not. Is he a good manager and negotiator? Probably.
Just to remind everyone. Do NOT take facts for granted from anyone. This guy ‘Mike’ just stated AOC has never introduced a bill in the House. This is blatantly untrue. This was an attempt to discourage discussion of her becoming Speaker. Why? Do not take anything on social media at face value.
AOC has introduced 48 bills, none of which ever became law, and 9 resolutions, none of which was ever adopted. She also introduced 12 amendments, of which 2 were agreed to. www.congress.gov/member/alexa...
Thank you. But you implied , whether intentionally or not, that she was not doing her job.
I shouldn't say that she's not doing her job, because she is succeeding at exactly the job that she came to Washington to do. She has no interest in passing legislation. Her goal is to attack, defeat, and destroy the Democratic Party. She's been very successful at that, and her power is increasing.
As moderate Republicans join the Democratic Party, the Progressive Dems, like AOC, are working to get money out of politics to create a healthy democracy. Her generation does not stand a chance without a major shift in policy.
She and the other Justice Democrats are, by their own admission, working to defeat and destroy the Democratic Party, thereby putting Republicans in positions of power. I assure you that putting Republicans in positions of power will not "get money out of politics" or "create a healthy democracy."
Please explain how “by their own admission” they are “working to defeat and destroy the Democratic Party.”
Disagree. We have a ProDem in our MAGA district. Couldn’t believe he won. He has worked hard to bring in funding for his rural communities. He is always available & his bottom line is an equitable society. If it can be done here, it can be done anywhere.
JD 2028🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
All of us are voting in 2026. We need Democrats to take over Congress leadership. That’s the only way we can put in some controls over Trump regime corruption. America is in crisis.
Withold all payroll deductions to federal & red states.
What??? I’m pretty sure Jeffries doesn’t instill the kind of fear he think he does. It may sound shallow (but remember who we’re talking about); if tRump is challenged by a beautiful, smart, YOUNG woman he will go berserk. But most of all, she’s as tough as they come!
This is gold!
he is too nice and not up for a fight with trump nazis. biden was the same, schumer, weak feckless, lacking backbone and fight. we need someone to get the base enthused and you do that by fighting not trying to hug hate filled antidemocratic gop nazis
How?
I am quite sure Elon will massively finance Hakeem : he knows that Jeffries will basically hand the congress to Maga. Same as Schumer. They are useful idiots.
The real question is : the Dems KNOW that Hakeem is a losing horse. Just as they did with Kamala and Biden. But rather than rising to the challenge of uniting a bigger army to defeat Nazism behind a Churchill they will safeguard their petty apparatus and let civilization crumble.
Reading the comments here on blue sky : 99% dont like Hakeem. He is a male Kamala with crazy hand gestures and no dance moves.
Hakeem is a gift to Maga. He should never be speaker as just too lacking charisma. We are on blue Sky and nobody likes him as a person. We need a stronger leader. By a lot.
Ya, make the guy who is buds with Kushner - speaker.
This is now the fourth account I've seen that thinks all Black men are the same person.
Jeffries' window has closed. He's shown who he is and that's not Speaker material. Look at the namby pamby Speaker right now, we want another one?
NO NO NO NO NO NO @ocasio-cortez.house.gov is the only choice to lead in this time.
Yes‼️ NOW‼️ FIVE ALARM FIRE‼️
Or... Hear me out... We could try a Democrat with a spine.
or talks normal and doesn't pause for no fucking reason at all it's not dramatic it's annoying and impossible to follow
Nope, not Jeffries. Sounds like a Pelosi idea
It is Pelosi idea. Before she stepped down she trained Jeffries to be leader. He’s weak not a fighter.
My vote would be AOC 🗳️💙☮️
Crockett for me!
Would not complain with either. Both have fire.
Make his rich friends lose money. And his empire will crumble in days
How?
Don't buy from them
All of you Dems go away!You had 4yrs to stop him from running again,indict try and send him to prison,you didn’t!You sat on your hands and pretended alls good!All wasn’t good!Wray, Garland didn’t do their job and you did nothing!Current Trump mess is on you all, everyone of you in Congress/Senate!
Let’s talk about something possible in the short term.
If the Republic last that long. What we may see in the next two years is catastrophic irreversible societal collapse.
Sure it'd be better if they had a better choice but beggars can't be choosers I guess
On the right track, but does Hakeem really strike ANYONE as the leader the moment calls for? Where is 2027 congressional take over plan? Where is his plan to stop the senate? To unwind the unlawfulness? W/o a plan and pr campaign, who cares?
That’s not the ONLY way, but it is a tiny step in the right direction
Oh fucking please! Making Jeffries will change NOTHING!!!!
100%
No.
They need to win to make someone good speaker. That’s not Jeffries. He’s weak and ineffective.
Well... that's better than what we have currently... That being said, Jeffries would work about as well as putting brakes from a 10 speed bike on a dump truck. He had opportunities to "put brakes on" and they tore through him like a wet paper towel. Get a real fighter or we're all going down.
Fuck Hakeem Jeffries
Stopping them is easy..We control the market. It's our money we let them use it. Pay rent one month in advance. Put your money in certified checks. Keep some cash. It's legal. Leaves no reason to enact martial law. #fiftyfiftyone #GoldonArseAges #Anonymous repeat every payday. Every city.
Moskowitz is a gross piece of shit. Why is he being platformed? The guy who thought Gaetz was going to a great selection. He's bent over for maga a few times already...
Don't think the muskrats and russian hackers will allow that to happen -- IF we have elections that would make that possible. There are other ways to stop them, if only those with the power to do so would do so.
What goes up must go down eventually!
Pass
lol
Drunk on power…I could totally see that at the SOTU.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
A hard NO on that. Cardboard personality. 😡
No actually, Hakeem Jeffries has shown zero signs that he will do anything other than work with republicans to screw me over even more.
No one mentions how they are also gutting the Affordable Care Act in this bill!!!!
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Host needs to tone down the orangeness make up.
Yes. Preach!
can we find someone else please. not hakeem jeffries. he is not the person needed for this time.
Oh, HELL NO. We need AOC or Crockett now. Booker and Jefferies have not shown the strength needed at this crossroads. They need to get out of the way and let these women lead. Period.
#2026 we strip the MAGA NAZIS of their ability to rule like kings. Do we have it in us to finish the job?
He orchestrated the Democrats voting to help Johnson keep HIS speakership. Jeffries literally helps the GOP anytime he can. Who the hell wants to stand in line for hours to vote under bomb threats, running out of ballots, voting machines breaking down,... Has he addressed any of that? Nope.
Umm tell me that’s not Plan A..?
Maybe also not vote for any of their stuff? 🤷🏻♂️
Don’t let it happen fellow Americans. They’re not for us. They’re being nice now because they need us, but when this is over, we will NOT go back to the status quo. Nope.
Oh here we go. Back to status quo.
Well, dude, start the fucking process. It only takes one person to start the process to vacate the chair. Or maybe we should go back in time and not protect him when Empty G made her motion. But really, it's time, Shit or get off the pot and let someone on that will Shit.
Ok, and what good will that do?
Jeffries represents the caucus that’s for insider trading and against M4A.
Jefferies is Nancy Pelosi lite. I haven’t given a shit about Jared since his big buy up of Facebook rig hr before the election.
Most ridiculous shit I've heard
You won’t have a country you recognize by then…
Do you recognize the one we've got now?
Truth 💣
Not helpful given that they will have already given it all away
It's been time for Chuck Schumer to step aside.
If it’s Friday, it must be the One-Minute Political Update Podcast! Episode 91: Trump Grifts on Meme Coin Dinner, Greenland Shafts Him on Minerals Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Mumify, the platform for British mothers. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... #Trump #MemeCoin #Greenland
No to Jeffries big mistake
Jared is not a good man.
I used to think that he was, but now…no mas.
Yes something needs to break
Agreed, however if we address the “Trump Administration” they are not just “drunk with power” they are all just drunk, period.
Are you kidding? that ship sailed long ago. what do you think that's going to do? You going to impeach him again and then have the senate do nothing again? That'll show em, eh?
@repmoskowitz.bsky.social Waiting 400+ days for shot at hyped election, certain to be tainted with handouts and manipulation, is not a smart last hope hailmary Democrats need to recruit sitting Republicans in Congress to switch affiliation and give a majority in 2025 5 ea As you are, get support
Ummmm.... maybe the only way to get them to represent the people is to remove all of the zionists from office. Vote better, folks. Do your research at Opensecrets.org and aipac.org. Let me help you start things off..
I did that not so deep dive a couple of weeks ago. The information is easy to find and utterly shocking. My Senator, Adam Schiff has gotten more than $6M from AIPAC. Anyone that has taken that money is not working for us. They are working for Israel, the worst country on earth (besides us).
I will never forget, on the day of the vote for speaker, Johnson and Jefferies laughing and Johnson giving Jefferies a bro slap on his arm. Like it was all a game.
They are in the same prayer group. A Pelosi puppet including hand and arm movements with that irksome monotone voice. He's an AIPAC shill and not fit for this moment in time.
I am shocked that the Americans are not protesting en masse about this unbelievable horrible president, his unqualified administration & the corruption! The Serbs protested A LOT more for a collapsed canopy & the protests are still ongoing!! WTF are the Americans waiting for??
Feels like there are waaaaaaaaay more effective Democratic House Reps than that guy.
I’d rather have Jamie Raskin.
Thank you. Hakeem is part of the problem. IMO
Drunk with power, that’s exactly what it is. I haven’t been able to fathom how any group could be happy doing what they’re doing. Incomprehensible that they’re ok taking away healthcare, food, science, emergency relief. And WTF with silencers??
That is If we have midterms. Which I predict we won't. Especially if it Iookes like trUmp will lose the House
Umm, yeah, nawww. Stoop sitter jeffries is NOT the savior we need or want. He's as performative as this little fucker that voted to censure Al Green.
I have zero faith in Jeffries. I think AOC or Jasmin Crocket would be a much better choice
And unfortunately that would do absolutely nothing. Do you people not understand what a dictatorship looks like? The longer Americans allow it to grow the harder it will be to knock it down.
This is what I’ve been shouting for months. Wake up ppl before it’s too late. It’s so frustrating.
