it isn't his age! (what is Bernie Sanders' age?)
it is Schumer's loyalties & connections that render him useless at a time when swift certain Democratic leadership is required; Schumer does not have this.
By all means, let’s investigate at a Merrick Garland pace when we know the country can’t take another second of Hegseth destruction. One thing Democrats must do ASAP is demand that all fired military officials be offered a return to their positions. Don’t give up the ship.

1/ Democrats are about to learn the reality of the GOP mess they are now going to be blamed for. All the freshman selfies and back-patting will fade and the grim reaper will be at the door when the rural hospitals close and millions of Americans lose their health care.
#Jeffries can be expected to be reluctant to give up the Speakership; after all, why would he pass up a chance of ascending to the presidency? Ironically, with him leading the Democrats, the chances of ousting Trump and Vance diminish.
Asked whether House Democrats will pursue Hegseth impeachment in a majority, Hakeem Jeffries told reporters:
“We'll have that conversation at the appropriate time, and that'll be led by Adam Smith, soon to be chair of the Armed Services Committee, and Jamie Raskin, the next chair of the judiciary.”

what are you going to do when trump cuts congress out of governing, ignores subpoenas, and has the Supreme Court backing him? are you prepared to fight hard thru a constitutional crisis?

It's a good question--one we've been asking for a decade now--but there needs to be a "and what are we going to do about it?" call to action. We all know. We all wonder why. But acting on it is most important. Tell your new Congress to kick the KGB out of the Oval Office.
Billboards reading "WHY IS TRUMP SELLING OUT AMERICA TO PUTIN?" have been spotted in Illinois, Atlanta, and Florida.
The message and imagery are directly linked to recent geopolitical decisions that have drawn significant backlash from critics, including Ukrainian-American and Eastern European communities.
Reportedly the organization behind the campaign is called Home of the Brave. It has also produced a video ad and launched a dedicated website titled "Why Is Trump Selling Out America to Putin?" You can visit the website here: whyputinfirst.org
The organization also published an article explaining the reasoning behind the campaign:

I don't know much about this organization or where else these billboards have appeared. If you have any additional information, please share it in the comments!
You know who I’d like to see be elected leader in either house? Someone who, when Trump’s goons manhandle and try to eject a Congressman with a spine like Al Green, they step forward and put their arms around him and take the blows for him. Show me that leader!
Let’s clear something up about Hakeem Jeffries.
Ro Khanna, AOC, Robert Garcia, Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar, Brad Lander, Sam Liccardo, Jim Himes, Luke Bronin, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, Ted Lieu, Joe Neguse, and other members of the Democratic caucus have expressed support for Jeffries as Speaker.
Some of y’all keep throwing out names for Speaker who have already said they’re backing Hakeem!
And there’s a reason for that. Members supporting Jeffries say he understands the job, knows how to lead the caucus, and is prepared to take the gavel.
You elected these people to do a job. Maybe it’s worth listening when they tell you who they believe is best suited to lead them.
Van Hollen’s intervention was just the type of action that we need. Even though he didn’t have the Leader title he didn’t sit around and cry “What can we do? We don’t control the government!” Democratic voters didn’t control the government either, but we stepped up…& now we do!

Mr. Veto sounds like a Bond villain whose evil plan is to cancel school lunches.

His biggest problem is, that he is in Peter Thiel's Dialog Group, along with Ted Cruz, Scott Bessent, and Lutnik.

I was super stoked about Jeffries until the day after the election he came out talking about unity. Trump wants to suspend habeas corpus and jail his ass. Crimes like raping children in ICE custody are happening today. How do you reach across the aisle to that?

Jeffries is not responsible for the Blue Tsunami. He/Schumer is responsible for being spineless against Trump 2.0 and Musk's Doge. They should have put it on the line to stop Doge, all we got were strongly worded letters. That's why he/they should go.

Schumer gave trump 4 appeals court judges and zero oversight investigations.
With opposition like Schumer leading the senate, who needs friends?
