🚨NEW: Hakeem Jeffries declared his opposition to Medicare For All 72 hours after a Yale study shows it would save 100,000 lives & $1 trillion. Context: Jeffries raked in $391k from health PACs in 2026 & faced no primary pressure to hold the line on Dem priorities because a primary was blocked.

It’s up to the constituents to call their reps to make sure if Dems take back the House that Jeffries doesn’t get the votes for Speaker. This man is bought and paid for. He doesn’t represent the voters. He represents the ones who paid him 300,000 and 1.8 million. Call your reps

And there you have it. Jeffries is just another corrupt politician. Out with the old and in with the new people, let’s get it done. Jeffries will have to wait a couple more years but he can be voted out of the leadership role.

I can’t believe how blatant this has become. I was far too naive for far too long with this party. Believing that they genuinely wanted to pass stuff but they didn’t have the numbers. Kirsten Sinema wasn’t an anomaly in the Dem party. She just didn’t care about bad optics.

No surprise here. Jeffries is a D.I.N.O New rule, If you vote to cut healthcare or support a program that assures healthcare for your voters... You automatically lose YOUR federal health insurance.

Not that Obama has a lot going for him either, its Obamacare and achievement of first President of Color. He is honestly a massive insult to true POC heroes like MLK Jr. or the Black Panthers.

The underlying problem with everything is the vast majority of people in government are bought and paid for so they aren't working for what is best for their constituents. Until Citizens United is repealed and we can get money out of this as much as possible, nothing really changes.

I truly don't know if every poster I see saying "until citizens United" believes that there was not rampant corruption and money in politics before that ruling. That was in 2010, not some centuries old change that was the root of all evil. Money has always run politicians, they just had to be clever

Of course there was rampant corruption before. Making it more difficult would be/is a good thing. Also, actually enforcing campaign finance laws would be good. But I hope you felt good about getting off a post trying to make someone feel bad about getting money out of politics.

Easy to criticize and imposible to move legislation without the majority....we win all the arguments and debates but then lose elections...until THAT changes we're screwed no matter who runs our party...apathy is a bigger problem...VOTE more, bitch less

Nothing changes until we can get people in office who are working for voters/constituents instead of donors. There is too much money in all of this and too many are very easily bought. Voting harder/better doesn't matter if corporations own the all the options.

Omg! And they wonder why the DSA is on the come up. SMH. 🤦🏽‍♀️  This is why we cannot go back to business as usual. We do need Medicaid for ALL, affordable housing, and education that we can all access because talent is equally distributed, but opportunities is not.

To tack onto this, just to give people something to think about, imagine a building 5 floors tall, 100 units total over the whole footprint. Now lets put rent at $100/m that is 120k a year total. Can you imagine the maintenance/management of the entire building costing even that much per year?

Most of the rest of the world supports some type of "medicare for all" aka universal healthcare... there is no country without healthcare for all that we would aspire to be like....

I said this before. Democrats need to run on a platform of universal healthcare for the next election. The overwhelming majority of Americans demand this. So if our Democratic leaders won't back it up, they need to GO! We need new leadership that are not bought by big pharma and insurance companies.

It’s just tone deaf. And for a while, it’s been that way. Although, I’d like to see a different energy from Jeffries, I highly doubt that’ll be possible. An opposition party can never exist as long as there’s a leader that doesn’t mind opting out of opposition.

🚨BREAKING: HAKEEM JEFFRIES SHOULD STEP DOWN AS HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER IMMEDIATELY! HE CAN NOT, NOR SHOULD HE EVER BE, THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE HAKEEM IS A MAGA-REPUBLICAN COSPLAYING AS A DEMOCRAT HAKEEM VIGOROUSLY SUPPORTS MAGA - MIKE ROGERS & ASHLEY MOODY OVER ABDUL-EL SAYED & ANGELA NIXON

He`s the reason democrats turn so few in the election, all they see if those "reasonable" democrats that wants nothing more than the guys on the right side ... can't miss the " I don't want to defund the police" while the others only talk about terminating ICE.

For those who feel betrayed by the corruption guy whose entire career has been corruption, please question your criteria for trusting people up until this point.

Remember that according to Chief Justice Roberts, not only is this not corrupt, it doesn't give the appearance of corruption either. So I guess we all need to sit down and shit up according to him 🙄

I was hoping he’d have a shot at the gavel if Democrats won the House majority but now I know he’s not the right guy for the job. Let’s get the majority first; then let your representatives know that YOU don’t want @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social overseeing what gets or doesn’t get a vote on the floor

My understanding is that because he's the Dem Leader he's got what amounts to unlimited funds to campaign with and the DSA doesn't have the standing in that district yet to neutralize that advantage. He's just given them a great jumping off point to take him on in 2028.

Conservatives are at least honest (in comparison) about their contempt for human life and human civilization. They've stopped pretending to give a shit about anything but power and the money it brings. Jeffries, et al, keep insisting they're our friends and allies while stabbing us in the gut.

Same. And to be clear, accepting that they’re merely out of touch lets them off the hook. They know what they’re doing. They are actively, deliberately handing over our billion$ of our money & sacrificing >100k human lives to insurance industry investors.

Citizens United puts fundraising at the top of a politician's priorities. So whoever gives them $$$ exercises a measure of control on their policies. We can replace members who cave to this corrupt system, and/or we can eliminate this terrible money trap.
