If people really cared about cost-cutting (coughdogecough) then this is the sort of thing they would have championed

This Hegseth vote opened at 5:30 pm. Some members have cited traffic produced by some incident near the Capitol as the reason they missed it, but @JulianAndreone was there at the time and saw nothing impeding traffic. Interestingly, the PAC Elect Democratic Women (EDW) was having a β€œnew member reception” from 4:30-6:30 pm. If you followed the primaries closely, you know EDW’s offshoot, EDW Action Fund, served as one of the major pass-throughs for AIPAC money, so it’s a very important organization. If you were at this reception and saw any truant members of Congress, signal is in bio for me and Julian.
The 11 House Democrats who didn’t vote in the effort to kill the Hegseth impeachment resolution (which succeeded 210-204) were: Brownley Correa Hollen Hosford Jackson (IL) Pelosi Pettersen Stansbury Stevens Strickland Wilson (FL)

JEFFRIES AND SCHUMER OUT NOW
PETE HEGSETH OUT NOW.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
11 house democrats were absent for this vote, and had they not been absent and voted with their caucus Pete Hegseth would have been impeached by the house. In effect, both the Democrats and Republicans both protected Pete Hegseth. Procedure is weaponized by both sides. theintercept.com/2026/11/10/heg…

It’s been A WEEK since the election and the Democratic establishment leadership is already showing us that they have absolutely no intention of working for the people that gave Democrats the majority. Jeffries and Schumer have got to go.

This just further proves that Jeffries isn’t the leader Dems need
Pete Hegseth is unfit and unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. House Republicans just chose to protect him over American servicemembers.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
11 House Democrats skipped the vote. bbc.com/news/articles/…
15
And the people that voted for those Democrats want you out of leadership. Take a hint
House Democrats have won 258 seats and counting. This is the largest majority that any party has had this century. News of our demise was greatly exaggerated.

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to β€œmake [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker. His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) β€œend U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.” He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something β€œout of a movie.”

All the people who take money from AIPAC are worried now
There’s an effort underway to erode black political power in this country by blocking the election of the first-ever African American Speaker of the House.

Ok now do taking corporate PAC money
House Democrats will move to ban members of Congress from trading stock.

Fitness apps now openly supporting the Nazi agenda too lmao
Ladder no longer sponsors or supports the β€œI’ve Had It” podcast. Making light of anyone’s death, especially a victim of violence, does not reflect our values. Thank you to everyone that took the time to make their concerns known to us.

Sad to see @Chewy turning to the dark side. We don’t support fascist enablers like @Chewy
We do not sponsor or support the β€œI’ve Had It” podcast. We unequivocally condemn violence in all forms. The comments made by the hosts do not reflect Chewy’s values or what we stand for as a company.

Hakeem Jeffries is a dangerous zionist and apathetic and lazy centrist who has American blood on his hands. His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor. Fire him today.
Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands. His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor. Fire him today.

Jeffries means his AIPAC sponsors don't want to get even. Actual Americans who have suffered because of this administration and establishment democrat inaction actually do want to hold people accountable for the barn that has been caused. It was already obvious he can't lead
Hakeem Jeffries on Morning Joe: The American people don't want us to get even. They want us to get things done on their behalf because life is way too expensive. We ran on affordability, we won on affordability, and now it's our job to govern on affordability.
