  3. @tomcapuder Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are the dying remnants of Clinton’s corporate Democrat wing of the party. It’s long since time for Schumer to go (calling AOC to replace Schumer). And I’ve been very disappointed with Jeffries in the last two years. He’s clearly not the person we need going forward.

  4. Jim Himes has done literally nothing to try to get the fascist criminal impeached and removed. Jim Himes is in direct violation of the oath he swore to defend the Constitution. It is vile dereliction of duty. He should apologize and resign immediately.

  5. "The letter is signed by Warren, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, Patty Murray, Jack Reed, Bernie Sanders, Brian Schatz, Adam Schiff, Chris Van Hollen, Peter Welch and Ron Wyden. The House of Representatives signatories are Katherine Clark, Richard Neal, Jim McGovern, Seth Moulton, Ayanna Pressley, Jake Auchincloss, Stephen Lynch and Lori Trahan."

    So not #ChuckSchumer ( #SenateMinorityLeader) not #HakeemJeffries ( #HouseMinorityLeader) - I guess #AIPAC $$$$ are to important to them.

    Disappointed that #SenatorAlexPadilla did not sign, and appreciate that #AdamSchiff did. As expected, #Pelosi did not sign.

  6. RE: beige.party/@Quasit/1170225098

    As of 2026, every state with a Republican trifecta has targeted trans rights with 100s of pieces of legislation, alternatively no state with a Democratic trifecta has done so, and in fact those states have sought to protect trans rights. So of course the pro MAGA leftists propagandists are pretending once again that both sides are the same.

  7. The corporate Democrats have raised the minimum wage again. Jacobin and the corporate socialists are in shambles as their both sides are the same narrative falls apart. F Jacobin all day every day!

  8. Apparently a large number of AOC voters voted for Trump, a racist bigoted Nazi that promised the bloody deportation of a million immigrants. Someone recently told me this like I was supposed to be impressed. Those people can go F themselves just like every other Trump voter. AOC might want to do a better job communicating with her district.

  9. This constant narrative pushed by the left and the media about the Democrats failing the American people and world is absolute bullshit! The American people had one job, vote against the Nazis, if you didn't do that or understand it, it's because you're a F'ing imbecile, don't blame the Democrats for your ignorance and stupidity!

  10. House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries was on #MSNOW this morning pointing out that blowing up "drug boats" off the coast of #Venezuela amount to "extra-judicial killings".

    True. But...

    IF YOU DON'T QUESTION whether these are in fact "drug boats" and don't point out they have ZERO chance of reaching the U.S. (1,700 miles away), you come off as SIDING WITH THE DRUG DEALERS... an argument #DictatorDon wins every time. 🤦‍♂️ #StopBeingStupid

  11. Democrats’ shutdown rage erupts in call – “People are f**king pissed” – Axios

    Democrats’ shutdown civil war spills out in private call

    A private call of House Democrats devolved into a furious vent session Monday afternoon as lawmakers fumed about a group of Senate centrists cutting a deal with Republicans to end the shutdown.

    Why it matters: Over a dozen House Democrats spoke on the call, with the vast majority slamming the deal, sources told Axios — a volume that reflects deep outrage between the two chambers.

    • Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) said the public is incensed at what they see as Democrats caving on the shutdown fight, telling her colleagues, “People are f**king pissed.”
    • Nearly “everyone [was] strongly against” the deal, said one House Democrat who was on the call but spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details of a private discussion.

    Between the lines: It’s not just a fight between the House and Senate, with a growing number of House Democrats urging their colleagues to stop training their fire on fellow party members.

    • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) instructed members to keep the focus on health care and not on “a few individuals in the Senate,” according to three lawmakers who were on the call.
    • Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.), the leadership representative for members in battleground districts, similarly told her colleagues to focus their shutdown-related attacks on Republicans, not Democrats.

    State of play: House Democrats and liberal grassroots groups erupted into rage Sunday after a group of eight Senate Democrats voted to advance a bill to reopen the government.

    • The deal the Democratic centrists struck with Republicans includes the promise of a Senate vote next month on renewing expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.
    • But the bill would need 60 votes to pass, and the deal doesn’t guarantee a House vote, making it unlikely Democrats will actually succeed in securing an extension.

    Zoom in: Roughly half of those who spoke on Monday’s call either directly criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) or did so implicitly by agreeing with previous speakers who tore into him, sources said.

    • Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the former chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, argued that either the Senate leader “can’t control his caucus” or he “gave his blessing” to the deal.
    • A Schumer spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Yes, but: Despite the widespread anger towards the deal among progressive and moderate House Democrats, some of the party’s most centrist members are expressing openness to voting for it.

    • Just as the caucus call was getting started, Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), a retiring centrist who has openly opposed his party’s shutdown strategy, signaled he is supportive of the Senate deal.
    • “Congressman Golden’s position on using a government shutdown as a legislative strategy has been clear and has not changed,” a spokesperson told Axios, while stressing his support for extending ACA tax credits.
    • Lee said on the call that she, personally, is undecided on the bill even as Jeffries has said he opposes it and vowed to fight it.

    What’s next: Jeffries vowed to fight the deal in the House and floated the possibility of a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits, sources said.

  12. A political realignment??

    After years of close ties to AIPAC, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, House Democratic leader, has for the first time accepted an endorsement from J Street—a center-left group critical of Israel’s current government and supportive of a two-state solution. The move signals shifting dynamics in Congress, as J Street gains clout and AIPAC’s dominance is challenged by voices pushing for new approaches to U.S.-Israel policy. Jeffries’ step, once unlikely for a leading Democrat, reflects a broader change in how lawmakers engage with Israel-focused advocacy. What does this shift mean for Middle East policy on Capitol Hill?

  13. “The aggressive targeting of #Democratic elected ofcls by… #Trump …will invariably result in #law abiding #PublicServants being marked for death by violent #extremists. The Trump admin & their squad of masked agents must change course before it is too late.

    “This is #America. The request for a judicial #warrant & observance of #LawEnforcement activity are not #crimes. There is zero basis for a federal investigation & any such plans should be dropped forthwith.”

  14. What’s in Trump’s big bill? Trillions in tax cuts, changes to Medicaid and more

    By KEVIN FREKING and LISA MASCARO
    Updated 8:21 PM EDT, May 13, 2025

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "#Republicans in Congress are moving with rapid speed to advance President Donald Trump’s big bill of #TaxBreaks, #SpendingCuts and beefed-up border security funding as leaders work to enact many of his campaign promises.

    "House committees have been laboring for months to draft the legislation, which Republicans have labeled 'THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,' a nod to Trump himself. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to approve the package and send it to the Senate by Memorial Day.

    "Democrats say they will fight what House party leader #HakeemJeffries calls 'this extreme and toxic bill.' "
