DEAR @SenatorBaldwin I called you the other day asking kindly for you to support @ChrisVanHollen before he committed to running for Majority Leader. Now that he stepped forward I’m asking again to put PAC money aside & vote for the change America voted for.

What do you expect another $2.1 Million AIPAC funded senator will say? They need to stick together while Americans are struggling. @TheView @kasie @kaitlancollins @jrpsaki @NicolleDWallace
NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! He did not deliver this victory! It was the VOTERS! The ORGANIZERS! The PUBLIC! He has fully enabled the Trump Treason Train's 10 year assault on America! Any congressional representative who votes him back into leadership can kiss their careers and reputations goodbye! We want Chris Van Hollen! Schumer must go!

SO FAR!
⛔️Advice: Chuck Schumer is a mistake we can't afford.‼️

EXACTLY!
Why is Jared Kushner leading peace talks between Russia and Ukraine? He is not an elected official, nor is he a career diplomat with decades of experience negotiating wars and international security agreements. This is the job of the Secretary of State, NOT Trump’s son-in-law, the Secretary of Grift. Kushner is only there to negotiate lucrative business deals for he and the Trumps. 🤬

WTF!?? An impeachment vote on the docket & the WHIP throws a fund raiser. You had all summer to do that shit! But then again the Dem Leadership are all AIPAC Funded. Including the NOT vote Dems.
🚨 EXPOSED | Democratic Whip Katherine Clark’s job is to get members to vote. Her own PAC kept them away. Clark is a founding member of EDW (Elect Democratic Women), which hosted a reception from 4:30–6:30 p.m. overlapping the 5:30 p.m. Hegseth impeachment vote.

HOW ABOUT SHOWING UP FOR VOTES & IN OTHER CASE CALL TO RECORD THE VOTE? IF WE HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW TO DO YOUR JOB, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE? Just in it for the $174,000
The new Democratic Congress will try to do something Republicans seem to have forgotten about: keeping our promises to the American people. That means working to lower costs, stop corruption, and end Trump's war with Iran.

PLEASE STEP UP! AMERICA NEEDS YOU!

REASONS WHY @RepJeffries SHOULD NOT BE SPEAKER. But @TheView or @MSNOWNews will not talk about this. Especially not @TheLastWord

ONCE AGAIN DEMOCRATS LEADERSHIP FAILS ON A BILL FOR VETERANS ON VETERANS DAY! Way to go @RepJeffries @WhipKClark That’s ok @TheView & @MSNOWNews will give you another pass. Especially @TheLastWord
Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark. This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.

Amazing how traffic only stopped Democrats from a vote but not Republicans. @TheView @jrpsaki @kaitlancollins @ErinBurnett
211-204. Eleven Democrats didn’t vote. The excuse? Traffic. I have thoughts, and none of them are polite.

The FAILED VOTE IMPEACHING HEGSETH IS A FAILED JOB INTERVIEW FOR @RepJeffries OF BEING SPEAKER NEXT YEAR! YOU HAD A CHANCE TO PROVE YOURSELF! YOU FAILED! @TheView @kaitlancollins @KatyTurNBC @AOC @MarkPocan
If he was going to be the leader we need tomorrow, he would have done his job today. Hakeem Jeffries cannot lead his party into impeaching Pete Hegseth. This is how every day will go with him as leader.

The Dem leadership has to take accountability of the FAILED RESULTS of impeaching Hegseth. They are all with AIPAC as well as the 11 Dems that did not vote. This tells you they will be serving Israel & Corporate America before they really serve Americans.
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark told Democrats during this morning’s whip meeting that the 11 members who missed yesterday’s vote on referring the Hegseth impeachment articles to committee had disappointed the American people, per a person in the room. Clark acknowledged that full attendance wouldn’t have changed the outcome but stressed that members have a responsibility to show up for the people who elected them. She reiterated leadership’s expectation that Democrats be present for votes during the lame-duck session. A second person told me Clark’s sentiment represented serveral rank-and-file members who were also frustrated by the attention the absences attracted online after the vote.

CORPORATE AIPAC DEM LEADERSHIP FAILS TO GET THE VOTES TO IMPEACH HEGSETH WITH 11 AIPAC DEMS NOT VOTING! AMERICA IS SCREWED! @TheView & @MSNOWNews HOSTS PROMOTING THIS LEADER NEED TO STFU!
Thanks so much, Jeffries and Clark! Why don't you both resign??

WE NEED LEADERS THAT DO THEIR JOB TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE VOTES!
Historic failure of Hakeem Jeffries. He couldn't even get Nancy Pelosi to show up and do her job. Time for a real leader who will actually change things when we have the chance.

Replying to @RepJeffries
@RepJeffries FAILURE TO GET HIS MEMBERS TO VOTE IS GOING TO COST LIVES THE NEXT 53 days. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP!
Congress has been out of session for 148 days this year. Taxpayer-funded time off to fundraise and live lavishly on donor money. And THESE ELEVEN couldn’t even be bothered to show up for one of the most important votes of the year, if not THE MOST IMPORTANT! Democratic voters just stood in line for hours and delivered a BLUE TSUNAMI. We SHOWED UP and did our part! The very least OUR generously compensated elected representatives could do is show up and do THEIRS! This kind of arrogance and disregard for the people they were elected to represent is a slap in the face and a betrayal of the voters who put them in office. We’re not putting up with this shit anymore.

FAILED LEADERSHIP GETS FAILED RESULTS! LOSER @RepJeffries
We just secured historic wins and have the momentum on our side, and the first thing they do is not even show up for an important vote? This is exactly why people are pissed off with our leaders.

BULLSHIT DEM LEADERSHIP. That’s why America is against @RepJeffries as Speaker.
Hegseth’s impeachment was blocked by 7 votes in the House. 11 democrats were allowed to miss the vote. We’re supposed to accept this leadership from Jeffries?
32
FAILED LEADERSHIP @RepJeffries CAN’T get his caucus united & on page to vote to impeach Hegseth. Yet he demands all of them to show up to vote him @speaker.
This is a major Hakeem Jeffries fail. You could have impeached the war criminal Pete Hegseth but Dems didn't show up to vote.
11
HERE WE GO! DEMOCRAT LEADER @RepJeffries CAN’T get his house UNITED to impeach Hegseth. BUT THEY ALL NEED TO APPROVE @RepJeffries to be speaker. WTF! @TheView @jrpsaki @AOC @RepRaskin
To the 11 Democrats who didn't vote, you better be ready for what Hegseth and this administration are going to unleash next. Your missed vote was the first failure in that process.

This is BULLSHIT!
Instead of telling us that Jeffries is going to be speaker because “Lol, no one is going to run against him, so stop bothering us,” Dems should start explaining why no one is running against him. It took Dems less than a day to have the same old attitude.
