doing what he does best, giving the people absolutely nothing.
.@RepJeffries' (D-NY) message to voters who don't want him as the next speaker: "We're gonna work hard to secure the 218 votes... And then we're gonna continue from that point to work as hard as we can to improve the high quality of life that the American people deserve..."

The calculus here is mostly that you (probably) can’t oust Schumer AND Jeffries, and if you’re picking one, Schumer’s the obvious target (older, more unpopular, fewer votes needed, hasn’t even made the token olive branches to the left Jeffries sometimes has)

No one will challenge Jeffries because they don’t wanna be labeled the one who stopped history from happening—the first Black Speaker. The establishment has mastered the art of silencing critics of Israel by using AIPAC sellouts like Jeffries as a shield. Totally regressive.
“More than a million people signed a petition asking @HouseDemocrats to not elect @RepJeffries speaker— will that carry weight?”
@AOC reiterates that nobody is running against Jeffries, telling @JulianAndreone “it’s not a race right now” so 40+ Dems opposing is unlikely
she’s insane for this but she’s also basically on a two week notice she don’t give a shit
Nancy Pelosi on Kicking Haley Stevens Out of the Caucus:
We have a few more weeks of being in Congress, so I don’t think we should start making judgments about anybody in the caucus at this point.
I was disappointed. I conveyed that to her. I want to be helpful to her in terms of how she deals with this, but I’m not supporting kicking her out.
Let’s focus on the very positive

The cold dead eyes, the bizarre hand gestures, the halting, unnatural cadence -- and the unbelievable arrogance of a gambler who knows the game is rigged in his favor.
If Hakeem Jeffries is made Speaker - the Dems will lose all of their momentum. What a stupid move.
Jeffries: We have a vote next Wednesday. I'm going to work hard to talk to every single member...
Reporter: That sounds like you don't have it nailed down. Is that right?
Jeffries: You think I don't have the vote nailed down?
Reporter: I'm asking you. You're the vote counter.
Jeffries: I guess we'll find out next Wednesday.

Chuck Schumer shouldn’t be the leader for this alone. He cost us Florida in a winnable race!

Nina Turner on why she’s advocating against Hakeem Jeffries becoming Speaker of the House :
“When people are suffering in this country and you wanna put a foreign nation over the suffering of the American people, something is wrong with you."

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are the perfect people to put in place if you want to accomplish nothing important.
