When you listen to the remarks Schumer and Jeffries made after the election, it sounds like they are thanking voters for putting THEM in leadership positions.
They truly believe that his election was all about THEM. They don't get it at all.

🚨Chuck Schumer LOCKS his door and runs from a meeting w/ residents from across the country.
"He locked the door! I mean, what does that tell you about this guy who pretends to represent the people." - @medeabenjamin of CodePink reacts to Schumer running from an anti-war protest

All you’re going to see in the next two years is Democratic Party leaders doing everything they can to prevent progressives from making needed changes, while Tr.*mp yaps about his ballroom and conditions in the country get worse, and in 2028 we’ll get something worse than Tr*mp.

Senator Chuck Schumer just voted to advance the BAAJA bill, which would eviscerate the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act while harming Indigenous communities.
In case you wanted another reason why he should not be the Majority Senate Leader.

“I trust the new Congress to make the right decisions.”
Well, I don’t. When your government is this broken, you need to stay on top of it, even if your party won. That’s what democratic accountability is about. You don’t cast your vote and then sit back like you ordered Uber Eats or SkipTheDishes.
Supporting tax write offs is such a stupid thing to do but of course she would be saying stupid shit

NO I DO NOT SUPPORT TWO PEOPLE BOUGHT OUT BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO LEAD THE UNITED STATES
CHUCK SCHUMER AND HAKEEM JEFFRIES ARE NOT FIT TO LEAD DEMOCRATS!

Jeffries is threatening to withhold committee assignments from anyone who does not pledge their support for him to become speaker. So a loyalty pledge — sound familiar? Haven’t we had enough of governing by threat?? Isn’t this exactly what we just voted against?
dems need to go people
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

21 Democrats just voted "Yes" to advance the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653).
21 Democrats are willing to
- Weaken environmental review requirements
- Make permitting of public lands for drilling and the development of data centers and energy grids permanent UNDER THE CORRUPT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION - and almost legally impossible to reverse.
- Allow for no judicial pauses, meaning bulldozers keep going while cases are being fought in court.
- Weakens the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and fast tracks fossil fuel projects.
This is how Corporate Dems repay the voters for handing them the majority.

All Hakeem had to say was: “Accountability and affordability are the focus. We can, and must, walk and chew gum at the same time.”
Instead, the FIRST thing he said wrongly conflated “getting even” with accountability. That was a signal.
Then he talked about “bipartisanship” as DJT appoints a Nazi as Chief of Staff. Meanwhile, he doesn’t want to abolish ICE and doesn’t support Medicare for All.
Yet some of y’all want to lecture us about “how politics works.” But let Stacey tell all you “parliamentarian experts” about politics as usual.

Ayer hice un stream sobre cómo los evangélicos y fachos gringos van a dar por muerto a MAGA pero se enfocaran en “spiritual warfare” y reglas moralinas.
Hoy DC despidió a James Gunn y el nuevo CEO ultraconservador se puso a hablar de “Spiritual Warfare”.
Wow. ¡Eso fue rápido!

I think we're all trying to be optimistic that Ellison and Latcham won't implode the DCU by recasting characters, but they also said they were keeping DC Studios brass weeks ago. Trust isn't exactly a word I'd use to describe Skydance or WB right now.

Kinda hoping a massive uproar like Kimmel being fired from ABC happens with Gunn and Safran. It’s less about who you support and what you support, which should be that people shouldn’t be fired to appease senile pedophiles and surveillance hawks.
