It's really fucked up that Hakeem Jeffries is defending HENRY CUELLAR more than Zohran Mamdani.

Why did Hakeem Jeffries applaud Trump pardoning Cuellar? Explain it to me like I'm in kindergarten.

Jeffries needs to be removed as head of DNC. Pelosi may be older than we want but even on the toughest painkillers from the sudden hip surgery she wouldn’t say this in front of anyone.
This is accurate. The stunt Jeffries pulled today regarding Cuellar only further emboldens Trump.
Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

Hakeem Jeffries will defend crooked Henry Cuellar before he defends Omar.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes.
Trump just pardoned them.
Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.”
Ridiculous.😐

Mike Johnson has that look on his face these days like someone who is having to talk himself out of jumping out a window. Or drinking Russian branded tea with that oddly bitter flavor.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

Really hope King, Kaine, Durbin and the rest feel really good for passing a $500k bonus to GOP senators who were investigated for the Jan 6th attempted coup.

Dems sold out 40 days of pain to Americans for the slimmest of chances a ACA extension will pass. By mid-December the news will be awash with the huge surge in premiums at least, but will it pass in the house? Not likely. Will Trump sign it? Maybe he is the TACO king. Literally #HopesandPrayers

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.
He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.
Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.
I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.
It makes far more sense to interdict them.
