Jeffries: We're going to crack down on corrupt price gouging. We're going to clean up the mess at the United States Supreme Court. And we're going to ban the president, vice president, and members of Congress from trading stocks. We have 100 days, America.

Promises of future crackdowns seem a hollow promise. How about Dem leadership showing some fight today? AOC fights. Jasmine fights. Schumer and Jeffries give boring speeches.

Sadly, so-called “progressives” are still doing all they can to keep Repubs in control of Congress. Their fact-free trope has changed from “corporate Dems” to “AIPAC money,” but it’s the same playbook. Their privilege protects them from the consequences of their arrogance & others pay the price.

Hey Jeffries... How about 100 days to crackdown on foreign influence on our congress. 100 days to crackdown on corporate influence on our congress.

Reflexively and obsessively throwing around AIPAC as if there was no money other than the Jewish money in politics is just as antisemitic as pretending Israel is the only “bad” thing in a world full of conflict. Ever hear of the UAE (east Africa)? Or China?

Who is the country that continues to fund Israel? The USA. Who is fighting Israel’s war? The USA. With US taxpayer dollars and sprinkle some genocide for Palestinians on top. Of course people are up in arms about fucking AIPAC.

Most of the Dems talk a big game but when it comes to getting stuff done, they don't follow through. Jeffries is one of them. NOW he's spouting what we want to hear, but when the voting is over, he's just gonna shut up again.

@slb-7.bsky.social

Like most politicians, Hakeem can talk the talk. He just doesn't always walk the walk. We need people in political office that are there to serve the people and can do the hard stuff to get things done!

Wren
@lesliewren.bsky.social

I'm a lifelong Democrat, but dang. The Democratic leadership has been saying that for the last 19 months. It's all just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. When we vote and win the House and the Senate back, they damn well better get this stuff done, or they're going, too, in '28.

Jeffries takes huge CASH bribes from Israel lobby to keep the Middle East wars going & support Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Jeffries is a warmonger like Pelosi, Schumer, etc. We need Socialist candidates, but mostly we need people power, student power, union power & democracy in the workplace

H. R. 7008 wasn't a bi-partisan resolution so, Jeffries has some cred in trying to expand the scope. But, where was he during the negotiations? IDK, which is why I am asking.

@jeffyguy.bsky.social

Supply and demand isn't just an X your econ prof drew on a chalkboard. It's the law. If prices are raised above equilibrium, the result isn't fat cats buying Phillipe Patek, it's surplus inventory. Price gouging is not a thing.

Interesting. No minimum wage increase, no healthcare reform, no prosecution of the corrupt politicians, no consequences at all for bad behaviour. So tell me Jeffries, how is this any different from Trump claiming to lower gas prices and no new wars ?

dredecopp.bsky.social
@dredecopp.bsky.social

Supreme Court sandbagged expanded Medicaid and ruled that bribery and whatever trump is doing is legal. Jeffries promises to deal with that. THEN you can expand Medicare and bust corruption. And with a Democratic congress, you get this: www.murphy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

My, how far we have come. 😄 Jeffries is going to stop activities that he, himself, has been involved in that made him millions. Who’s next? Chick Schumer, the Democrats version of McConnell?

Nightmarica
@n1ghtmarica.bsky.social

That's the goal. Tricky to achieve while Republicans have control of the DOJ, but getting the gavels back for Oversight is definitely a critical step in the right direction

@canwil.bsky.social

Where did you get the video? He doesn’t really post to Democrats over here. He is, however, on Twitter every few hours. That’s weird when there’s like 33 million accounts over here-the majority of them are Democrats or the left or whatever.

Do you go to weddings and say, “Most marriages end In divorce” or do you toast the happy couple knowing that not every one fails. For me I will keep up the fight for a better future no matter what the present looks like. To do otherwise is to hand things over and surrender

Jef Fries is terrible at leadership, and inspiration, wrong person for the most wrong moment (along with Chuck) and thus part of the problem that we can't solve.

patrickts.bsky.social
@patrickts.bsky.social

Empty words from an empty heart. We need true leadership in the Democratic Party. People like this won’t cut it any more. Don’t be fooled, these words may sound promising, but they are hollow. There’s only one policy proposition in this speech - ban stock trading.

Douglas
@pearharp.bsky.social

Yeah… but will you actually hold the entire Trump regime and their sycophants accountable for the fraud, lies, gaslighting, and outright treason that they’ve engaged in thus far, Jeffries?! No. You won’t. Because you are a centrist Democrat-Republican. So fuck you and fuck off!

AndersenGundy
@andersengundy.bsky.social

Good luck with that. Young, progressive voters have nothing but contempt for establishment politicians like Jeffries. The DNC is making a huge mistake by aggressively attacking progressive candidates.

I’m sorry. Did I miss the part about Medicare for all or student loan forgiveness or prosecuting and impeaching every member of the Administration for their crimes?

@loriezinnia.bsky.social

Stfu Jeffries. His job is to not rock the boat. I'm sick of these useless dems. It's not enough. Why haven't you been fighting all along? Why are you making other dems the enemy now that they're getting traction? Who does he work for? It isn't US.

Brian Smith
@theactualbrian.bsky.social

It's a platitude. He's full of hot air. If he meant any of it, he's be promising to fucking impeach Trump. Pence too. At least 5 of the 6 Supreme Court justices. And every criminal in the line of succession.

Catherine
@joshuawoman.bsky.social

Yawn. He needs to go with the rest of them. He isn't exciting and besides he just lacks what it's going to take to initiate change. Which means nothing less than a revolution, and he still thinks we have a democracy. Too weak. All talk...

Rox
@roxiesback.bsky.social

Fuck Hakeem’s lyin ass! He already said if Dems win they won’t do shit about Trump and all the damage he did. Dems are soft losers.

Geert Cuypers
@geertcuypers.bsky.social

It ain't gonna be Jeffries and Schumer or any of the Dem establishment that are going to do those things. Big mouths, big promises, but nothing useful, like getting proof of life for the old turtle. Gosh, a journalist is doing better at getting the Epstein files than they are.

Erik Lassiter
@eriklassiter.bsky.social

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe a single goddamn word that comes out of the spineless empty suit that is Hakim Jeffries. Not only does the nation need new leadership but so does our party.

Jim Ferguson 🫘
@jimferguson.bsky.social

Republicans seem perfectly content with leaving states (Kentucky) and Congressional districts (New Jersey's 7th) unrepresented for months at a time. It is in keeping with their desire to disenfranchise and not represent millions of citizens.

BullMoose
@mooseman2.bsky.social

Recent legislation (2024–2025) stripped Governor Andy Beshear of the traditional power to unilaterally appoint a temporary replacement, a move that faces potential constitutional challenges from state Democrats who cite the Kentucky Constitution.

Kimber
@kimber00.bsky.social

Uniparty member. Too many American Democratic voters believe this Israel First 🤡, who was coronated by Zionists led by Nancy Pelosi. Under his leadership, our party and our country have regressed. Just more war, American lives, debt and a loss of morality. All for a parasitic foreign nation.

DeMarcusD
@demarcusoaklv.bsky.social

Nah. Governor Beshear just needs to appoint someone HE wants. Forget waiting. Forget special elections. If the other side wants to play games and commit fraud, let them win stupid prizes. Just select a Democrat to take the seat.

Because if HIPPA. Nobody can give out information on a patient without written consent of the patient or their guardian/power of attorney. A patient does not have to give out information about themselves except they might to their employer but that employer can’t pass it on.

Blah, blah, blah. Pelosi wouldn't stop the trading by Congressional members. There's no agreement on SCOTUS. What's the plan? A photo with a baseball bat? Dems: Cut the bullshit. I'll vote blue no matter who, but you need a winning message and it ain't this. Bluster with no luster. #EpsteinFiles

No! We must ban AIPAC from our elections!!! Ban all corporations by eliminating Citizens United forever! Wipe the SCOTUS clean, and start over! Remove all career politicians with term limits for all governments in all states.

Better start with WALMART. The king of changing prices based on THEIR PRECEPTION of how big your wallet is. Don't forget AMAZON, VERIZON, CHARTER, and dozens of other companies pricing Americans into the poor house. Don't get me started on the OUTRAGOUS prices of cars. 😼

The power of now
@mag53.bsky.social

Jeffries has to start with himself Schumer and about 20 more democrats who need cracking to clean out democrats who are not blue but talking the talk which is cheap- while enriching their pockets with dark monies from rich corporates , CPAK, and AIPAK.

Melissa0numbers
@melissa0numbers.bsky.social

But but but he’s Pelosi’s chosen one. That’s his only claim to fame. The biggest and bestest speaker who whipped up the votes in the game of congress. Compromising with the other party only means giving the gop everything they want. It’s just worded differently.

Yeah well it’s a little too little and a little too late. And can all current serving democrats please make public who they’re accepting money from? Have they been to a Pete Thiel sponsored event? Have they made any stock trades while in office? Net worth and how they got it? We need new people.

José Antonio
@adoboislife.bsky.social

DSA or not, what matters is that they aren’t republicans in name only, demonstrate critical thinking skills and moral clarity, are good communicators, and have the testicular fortitude for more than a strongly worded letter.

Joseph Clark
@jospephclark.bsky.social

What and when exactly has the DSA ever passed in the US congress, especially against the Senate filibuster? Or even passed an amendment to someone else's bill for that matter?

pitttrnsplnt.bsky.social
@pitttrnsplnt.bsky.social

DSA is just another form of MAGA. Extreme left or right, it does not matter, they are both bad for our country. We need new leadership who can remember that it’s ok to work together towards the goal of doing good for our country and not for themselves

Hafu Zuul
@eringobrachiate.bsky.social

DSA isn’t MAGA. I’m in NYC where DSA has finally addressed slumlords and taxed the ultra wealthy. DSA is based on evidence based policies that work in other societies and there’s still critical thinking, fact checking and citations involved in platforms. It’s not all feeling based like MAGA

justpoly
@justpoly.bsky.social

These mass posts every time Jeffries makes a statement tell you it’s an op. They make a great block list. Some of you fall for it. It’s why donations are low when Dems need it most. This is what it looks like when the far left helps Republicans. Dems—always falling for slogans as policy.

Hafu Zuul
@eringobrachiate.bsky.social

Babe I’m not an op. Raised in Socialist MSP and live in Socialist NYC. I’m so sick of empty promises from democrats that claim they’re blocked from doing what they say they’re gonna do after they’re elected. Est dems don’t lack funding, they got AIPAC

justpoly
@justpoly.bsky.social

Then, go count the numbers of Democrats in Congress. How many branches of government do Democrats run? Consider those who are pretend Democrats like Fetterman, Sinema, and Manchin. Voters sent those clowns to Congress. How is that Democrats fault? Critical thinking and civics are key.
