@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Step aside if you won't seize this moment to fight these mAGa ghouls - we need leaders with a f*cking SPINE and some imagination to get us through this hellscape.

Unbelievable. 😤

Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage.
If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead.
Stay tuned - more to come.

Concerned Bartender Takes Away Pete Hegseth’s Security Clearance
ARLINGTON, VA—Expressing unease with his customer’s obvious level of inebriation, local bartender Benny Waller confirmed Friday that he had been forced to take away Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s security clearance. “Look, buddy, you’re in no condition to be getting behind a desk at the Defense Department right now,” the proprietor of local dive bar the Anchor reportedly […]

I just came off the floor after speaking for an hour. I refuse to let Republicans confirm Russ Vought the easy way, so we're holding the floor through the night for 30 straight hours.
Vought has shown he'll ignore the law & constitution. I'll be voting NO tomorrow.

The latest folks to NOT bend the knee:
Last night, Trump fired a number of inspectors general, but as you can see in this letter here, they are refusing to leave their posts as they believe his action is illegal. Federal law requires 1 month’s notice to Congress.
