“The Nazis are being fiscally irresponsible!” Such leadership.
Republicans are the party of fiscal liability.
We already know @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ~ What’s the PLAN? Where’s the LEADERSHIP? We do NOT need to hear it over and again. We DEMAND and deserve ACTION.
I swear this dude is coin operated.
(May 1st, 2024) Hakeem Jeffries is one of 320 representatives (consists of 187 Republicans and 133 Democrats) voted YES to HR 6090, which aims to criminalize criticism of Israel. RIP #FreeSpeech clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024172
THIS is not going to help any of us! This is the equivalent of standing in front of Trump and his cronies and wagging your finger, Jeffries. Remove Trump! General strike NOW!!
Well, yes. We know this. Now what?
I don't even want to f****** hear from Democrats right now. They are a feckless lot.
If Republicans have been doing this since Reagan, why haven't Democrats taken a "lessons learned" approach to successfully create and implemente measures to: a) undo the past damage, b) re-evaluate the present & act accordingly, and c) insure the past damage won't be repeated in the future?
I agree but all Dems do is whine. They could do more if they had a united front.
Bingo. The Santa Claus theory.
At the very least, he needs to reduce his hand gestures by 50%.
So then why would DEMs continue to tie their hands and abandon their agendas when faced with Debt Limit ceiling.....Sky's the limit for the next DEM presidency should one ever win a future election... in theory anyway.
It’s a shell game🧐😲🫢🥺😑Now you see it now you don’t🫣Move the money around and divide the spoils😳🤯😱That our 💸 US by the way 🤬
Tax the middle class into obscurity and spend Republicans.
It is beyond time to call out The Visible Republican: bsky.app/profile/opsa...
With all due respect, this is just insufficient to the moment.
He is due literally zero respect
Jeffries is right on this one. Now that's over can we talk about the $1.2 million dollars Jeffries has been paid to defend Israel's genocide?
Sorry Mr Jeffries, they are’t phonies. They’re Bold Faced Liars doing the bidding of the Liar in Chief!
He's not the guy. I love Biden I know he is a good man was trying to do the right thing but he was the wrong man for these times...and I think he was so slow to understand that this is not business as usual that he played a part in Trump winning. Same for Jeffries He's going to help us lose again
🥱🥱
And you are leading the fight to repeal all R's tax cuts, right?
Time for him to get out the bat. 🤡
You and the democratic party are broken records and ppl sre bored by your talk.TAKE SOME ACTION DAMMIT!!!!
Jeffries takes money from AIPAC; this is getting old.
(May 1st, 2024) Hakeem Jeffries voted YES to HR 6090, which aims to criminalize criticism of Israel. RIP #FreeSpeech clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024172
Jeffries should read this if he's serious. 👇
and healthcare, and food aid, and school meals, any thing good rich people don't need
Those phony bolognas! More tough talk from the most ineffective house speaker in modern history. I wonder if he’ll stamp his feet next.
And tank the economy.
Every fucking time!
Oh this fucking idiot..back on teevee: "I'm gonna send them a strongly worded letter!"
Stop yapping and lead, Jeffries. Why don't we hear the Dems in Congress screaming every day???
And Jeffries/Dems would and done the same. Both parties been spending crazy forever. Spartacus lite isn't the high road on debt.
Republicans are revived confederates. Face this fact already.
How's the book tour Jeffries?
Yeah bro, no shit. What are you doing about it?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yawn Hakeem - stop being professorial about this. Start acting like this is a street fight and call them racist cowardly bitches. Also, some of the dems are phonies too for not backing Mamdani. Also, fuck Eric “Milk Dud Head” Adams.
Phonies? Okay Holden Caulfield…what year is it?
STOP FUCKING TALKING DO SOMETHING I’m glad my income is tax free rn or id be pissed as fuck AT THE VERY least I can say fuck it I don’t pay u
What would you like the minority speaker of the house to specifically do for you when white voters put the gop and Mike Johnson in charge. What is Hakeem Jeffries needing to “do” for you ?
Geez. So repetitive. Waiting for Mr. Jeffries to tell us something we don't known. Interviewers need to ask the hard questions. 🤦🏻♀️
He really is just the automated dem response. Zero creativity. We all know the gop blows up the deficit. It’s been over a decade of it. Do something about it for once or tell us a plan to fix it or how you’ll be better
Exactly! Unfortunately, all they can do is continue to repeat what is obvious to anyone who is not braindead. He has no plan. The Dems have no plan. Seems all they ever have are repetitive talking points. If we ever have another election, I just don't know what I'm going to do. I don't.
Vote dem, and just hope they elect new leadership. It’s been pathetic since 2016
I'd like to, I really would. I just don't see the legacy Dems progressing towards a mindset which benefits the people. I want a Dem who thinks like AOC and Crockett, and I'm certain we will never have that in any substantive way. Please don't hate me...😉
Agree.
Vote for the progressive candidate in the primary.
Exactly how I'm leaning at this point. 😉
Lobotomized. His dead eyed tone deaf responses don’t fill me with confidence.
Thanks for the update from 2 weeks ago, bud.
For fuck's sake, the word is LIARS. The word isn't going to bite you if you use it.
Read the analysis published by Bart Starr Jr. last year. The GOP track record on the economy over the last 6.5 decades is pathetic.
Yes but that has never been what motivates people to vote. You have to tie it to how it directly affects people's lives and what you are going to do about it.
I get it this BBB is bad but @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social needs to be talking about ICE & lithe lawlessness of this regime. Make it clear to people the criminal & unconstitutional acts happening. Due fvcking process is gone! Hello?
Wait. Why is he merely pointing out lies as if nothing else is happening in this country? This administration is dismantling our institutions and funding a genocide with our tax dollars. They are terrorizing our people with our own money and stealing what’s left. Is this a form of gaslighting? WTF
Again, lil hakeem wantin to be Obama 2.0 sooooooo bad. Stop the ridiculous hand gestures for the gazillionth time !! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social None of this is workin for ya.
FFS @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you need new talking points. I can recite your “outrage” verbatim before you open your mouth. I had high hopes for you, but at this juncture, you’re over your head.
Inspired message with action and hope = 0 Same ole show sharing shit we already know = 1
Meanwhile...
Meanwhile...
Meanwhile...
Meanwhile...
No sh!t, sir--but that's not our biggest problem right now... jfc
The Rs aren't the party of "fiscal responsibility". They are the party of winning elections. Every political party is.
Jeffries is the wrong man for the time right now.
"for the time right now" is unnecessary, he's simply the wrong man full stop
Underfuckingstatement
Watch the whole interview. 🫥
So fucking DO SOMETHING, Hakeem.
To give tax cuts to NY and CA.
Blah blah fucking BLAH
The Republican strategy is to force the Democrats to cut essential spending and raise middle class taxes when they take power to provide cover for the MAGA Republicans👍
Democratic leadership was just waiting for this moment so they can beat the Republicans with something they know will be effective.
Holy shit, absolutely nobody gives a flying fuck about the deficit or the debt. It literally doesn't matter at all. Stop talking about it like it's a thing anyone should give one ounce of shit about.
Why do Democrats sound so helpless?
Jeffries and Schumer have completely failed as leaders
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
Jeffries and Schumer have basically bent over and let the GOP rail them. Milquetoast fucks, both of them.
We all know that! What we want now is action on your part to solve this problem. Stop bitching and fix it
I’m curious on what the Dems can do in opposition to”fix it”. All they can do is bitch about it but perhaps you can share some knowledge and advice on the way to fixing this.
Bet YOU would been a model slave
i disagree what they've done is implement project 2025. the tax cuts were implemented to destroy the working class
I really need Hakeem to borrow the language and syntax of Trump. This bill is horrible. We are giving rich guys breaks and it’s nasty. America is putting it’s future on a credit card with 30 percent interest!
On purpose. They are doing it on purpose in order to destroy us. Once we're all on the same page with this we can be unified in defense.
🤫🤫🤫
You already knew this, but you gave up 6 days in...we need better leadership. One not tainted by AIPAC.
It appears the democrats are still figuring this out?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Too funny!
Cuss them out
BEFORE THEY "NO LONGER ARE ABLE TO STOP THIS HELL" THEY SHOULD ALL FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP THIS SHIT! THEY ALL KNOW IT'S AN ILLEGITIMATE ADMINISTRATION. IF NONE ARE WILLING TO FIGHT AND RISK THEIR LIVES, THEN DAM QUIT! STOP TALKING SHOWS AND GROW SOME BALLS!
I don't care about the freaking DEFICIT OR TAXES, I CARE ABOUT THE DAM ARMY TANKS ROAMING OUR STREETS THAT SOON WILL BE IN ALL 50 STATES! I CARE THAT EVERYONE AGAINST THIS REGIME WILL BE ARRESTED, I CARE OF INNOCENT PEOPLE BEING ABDUCTED, PREGNANT WOMEN DRAGGED AND ABDUCTED!
Why does he sound like he’s trying really hard to inflect *some* emotion into his speech? He’s so robotic.
So tired of D’s going on tv talking about all that is wrong. If only they’d actually start putting together a plan of action 🙄. I’m pretty sure I heard him say they plan on using trumps own words against him in upcoming elections. So basically, nothing is going to change 🙄
Ari looks bored. Right there with you, man.
AND THAT’S NOT ALL!!!!!!
And all democrats have done is talk..its now up to the people to "ACT"
So how to stop him. He is a freaking criminal. Why can’t you all put him in prison where he belongs? Why do we have a criminal running our country????????
Enough talk, same message about tax cuts, we all know this. Trump and fans will find out soon enough how gullible they were. 60/290 Democrats need super majorities in upcoming elections to address affordability and healthcare.
for the regular folks on the street, they do not understand what it is a cut cut for wealthy. say it for what it is. gop rummaged in Medicaid to pay themself and their buddies. took kids lunches to pay for personal army. and they are coming for your guns too!
THIS is the best he can do? People are being disappeared, we have a secret rogue police force, a Supreme Court that has decided that Trump is a king , the rule of law is eroded, and there are tax-payer funded CONCENTRATION CAMPS on American soil, but "fiscal responsibility"? GET A CLUE!
Get out of politics. Jeffries, Schumer, and that crybaby Ken Martin are not fit to lead. This is our lives, it's not just a cushy aristocratic government job. People are literally dying. Lead or get the fuck out of the way...
And privatize federal institutions for the fat fckrs. We’ve said all along they want you fighting over who’s going to pick up your trash-let alone the entities that would save your life Remember the garbage truck stunt? 🥴 Everything from garbage to federal institutions. Up for their grubby grab.
Wow, Jeffries is getting better at this. For a second there, I almost believed he gave a fuck.
No one cares about the deficit. Only democrats don’t get it.
We know all this. . . I really hope they're working on new strategies and keeping it under wraps with this as surface talk. Because we need to elect new people if that's all this is gonna add up to---doing blurb tours with podcasters and such. I want to see something different. Other than this.
And you @housedemocrats.bsky.social couldn’t fight your way out of a wet paper bag.
True
The bill passed. Can we have some leaders who are aware of what’s happening now?
We are doomed with this type of leadership!
And he’s shit leader who needs to be replaced.
Charisma black hole. 🕳️
Ari? Don’t fall for it. He said some good stuff.
Everyone knows this already. Just repeating the same shit, never doing anything.
Hakeem and Chuck are not it. They are compromised.
Yeah, we know, now what are u going to do about Trump not having elections...
Watch the whole interview before posting any foregone conclusions. (If you are a troll--obviously disregard. 🙃) youtu.be/BhwTiaBYBrA?...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Please stop calling them Republicans. That Party is dead. To be a Republican, one must believe in The Republic, which they do not. Going forward, they should be referred to as The Fascist Authoritarian Party.
Tax cuts for the wealthy say Mr. Jeffries? You mean like like the zionist lobby that own you and plays both sides of the aisle like a harp from hell?
Ya know, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , you are the absolute proof that some things cannot be taught. Nancy Pelosi tried SO HARD to put that D'Alesandro Baltimore "killer instinct" into you and it simply didn't take.
Crystal clear.
Break the system first and then say it doesn't work.
Looking to cause massive failures of existing agencies and programs (National Parks and Social Security for example) so they can justify further cuts (elimination of Social Security and selling of public lands to cronies) in the future saying the programs are a failure and they cost too much.
www.goodreads.com/book/show/45...
Okay to talk about this, but the democrats need to strategize on how we combat this from happening. Start working on a strategy. 👍
Old news - how about they say what THEIR plan is moving forward? We all know the GOP is shit, give us something better. There is still something to that whole concept of "the audacity of hope." People want to fight for something, not just rail against.
If only there were someone who would take action instead of waiting for a promotion
and? what is the plan to stop them? talking about it doesn't work, sooooo...?
more politics from a politician I really can't stand to see this guy anymore I want him replaced with a democratic socialist yesterday listening to him talk is like stepping on a rake after slipping on a banana
speak to the human suffering @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is a waste of oxygen. Completely useless.
AOC vibe or get out of the way.
Facts
I don't want to hear it. Tax at 70% over 500K and 90% during conflicts. We have toppled over the edge and are falling into the abyss, LA is occupied by federal forces and he's talking about the deficit. Give that man a red hat because maga lite is still maga.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social republicans know they’re phonies- they’re completely fckn with you (the Dems) & subsequently the American people, they don’t care. This is a hostile takeover & they’re burning it down. Meanwhile you all on the Hill are still trying to hold on to politics as usual. You
Need to approach all this differently. Better figure it out quick.. or you’ll be out of a job very soon, meaning they’re going to take yours. They’re just taking shit. Do you see it? This is not normal. Are you the leader for this moment?
Ari Melber sucks
Jeffries is away from his desk??!!!!!!!
They've been doing it for decades. republicans ignore & blow up the deficit, then once a dem is in office, the screeching "WHAT ABOUT THE DEFICIT YOU TAX & SPEND DEMMYCRAT?!1!" begins, while the legacy media calls republicans "fiscally responsible" It's a disgrace www.salon.com/2018/02/12/t...
And Hakeem is a complete phony for pretending to care.
That's not the end of the story, say the rest! The billionaires don't need it. The truth is to hoard the wealth, ensure the poor either die or become indentured labor, and then let the middle entertain them fighting each other while they choose us as either their friends, pets, or enemies.
Why democrats haven’t been screaming this for years I have no idea.
Conservatives world wide have always been terrible at fiscal responsibility & the ability to run economies. It's all been a myth. Even their poster child evil hideous cow that was Thatcher was crap at economics, & open excesses by the rich plagued her rule whilst Britains poor struggled to survive.
Over and over and over Reagan Bush Trump Trump
He sounds like a broken record with canned sound bites. Then do something about it.
Same as it ever was.
#BlameRepublicans for *gestures around* all of this.
speaking of "phonies", tsk, tsk, tsk...
He can stop talking. He isn't John Lewis. Such a dumbass with that fucking idiotic cadence.
So brave!
Oh God. Mr. Jeffries us STILL repeating what we've known for weeks.
*is, not us.
Really wish that guy would use real words - “republicans always steal your money and give it to rich people. Here’s how we’ll make it stop” etc. This mush mouth, no plan shit. Just stop!
Too much talkie talkie- ugh
I hate to be a hater but he really just has negative rizz js
Pretty much the entire Dem leadership these days.
That's their mo. remember reagan?? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Tax cuts for the wealthy have been a consistent theme for Republicans for over 40 years. They might waffle on everything else, but not on that.
This is kinda like the "thoughts and prayers" response to mass shootings. I'm glad he is bringing up valid points but ugh.
Argh stop stating the obvious and spinning in place. Stop pretending this is normal
Put someone else in charge of the Democrat party please. Jeffries is to polite and respectful that’s not what the Democrats need at this moment in history. Someone with a anger in their guts & fire coming out of their mouth. IT’S TIME FOR STRENGTH AND ACTION SHOW SOME KIND OF PASSION FOR FUCK SAKES.
