House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins Morning Joe to talk about what comes next after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms. Jeffries calls the result a “stunning rebuke” of Trump and GOP policies, adding that Democrats now have to deliver on affordability—from groceries and gas to health care—while pursuing accountability by following the facts and the law.
Umm no. We want these fucks to be held accountable. You have the mandate. God damn pelosi, Jeffries, schumer need to go
If there aren’t consequences for violating the constitution, then why should anyone follow it ?
No, we want there to be consequences for the epstine class breaking the law. We also want to get things done on our behalf.
Jeffries needs to go.
Yes, and one big thing we want done on our behalf is get even. Hold every single one of those corrupt fascist fucks accountable. To the point that they don’t try it again…at least not for a few more inevitable decades.
Fuck. Every. Last. One. Of them
I cannot say what most Americans want with any certainty. So I only speak for myself.
I want accountability. I want retribution, not just justice but that as well, against those who have wronged the nation. I am probably in the minority in that I’m both bloodthirsty and moderately left of center (very left of center here in Texas).
Jeffries does not speak for what I want. And between today and the end of the next primary season where I fall back in line I’m going to make sure every person I voted for knows that. I’m already drafting letters.
I want retribution, not just justice but that as well, against those who have wronged the nation.
Sherman needed to cut a second swath in his march to the sea. Maybe down through to the Gulf of Mexico
Now would be a great time to call your representative and tell them Hakeem Jeffries is not what we need:

My script, feel free to use (or just replace Jeffries with Schumer and use for a senator call):
"I’m just calling to share that I do not support Hakeem Jeffries as the Speaker of the incoming House. Mr. Jeffries has shown for years he is unwilling to fight for causes that are right, only what he thinks he can easily win. He cannot change the status quo and electing him speaker will sabotage the hard work voters have done.
As my representative, please support a new leader who will immediately and vehemently stop the Trump administration’s unconstitutional and illegal actions, including:
(1) Immediately initiate investigations with aggressive timelines and legislation to prosecute and/or impeach corrupt officials, stop unconstitutional ICE and White House immigration killings and kidnappings, and create a strategy to actually serve justice even without the DOJ’s participation, including coordinating with state AGs;
(2) Introduce federal legislation to mirror Montana’s rejection of corporate and billionaire campaign funding;
(3) Introduce legislation to create Medicare for All or a similar public option for healthcare; and
(4) Immediately schedule votes and draft superseding legislation regarding Trump’s tariffs, the Iran war, and funding for Ukraine.
(5) Immediately schedule votes to stop funding the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.
Mr. Jeffries has demonstrated neither the will nor the strategic ability to implement any of the above. Please do not support Mr. Jeffries for House speaker."
Getting even is different from ensuring criminals meet consequences.
Jeffries is just fucking terrible.
I do not want to “get even” I want some GOD DAMN CONSEQUENCES for all the laws that were broken which at this point are way too numerous to list, but start with ICE’s flagrant civil rights violations, MURDERS, illegal detention and treatment of immigrants AND US Citizens. Consequences for Trump sacrificing US military personnel for his bullshit Iran war so he could trade energy stocks and make money off of their deaths.
Democratic leadership is absolute shit. This wave only happened despite them and because Trump is worse, but holy shit do we need to clean house.
Bullshit, conservatives should be second class citizens
If Jeffries wasn’t bought and paid for and eas instead just extremely stupid and out of touch he’d at least be right about something. It takes effort to be this incompetent.
