I agree. It is long past time to get rid of the "when they go low, we go high" attitude. I want them to be held accountable for what they've done to this country.
That whole attitude is why we had Trump the second time and Democrats did absolutely nothing to investigate if Elon and trump cheated, which was completely obvious to the naked eye.
What is that supposed to mean? They remain underrepresented in Congress, and we aren’t suddenly living in a “post-racial” society, so yes we need the CBC.
Mary, you are correct to be concerned over the leadership situation with Schumer and Jeffries for all the reasons given and undoubtedly many others. Who if not Jeffries was responsible for several Dems being absent from the impeachment vote against Heggers yesterday, possibly causing that vote to fail, at least procedurally? After this magnificent and perhaps once in a generation Dem sweep, is this the sort of House leadership we have to look forward to? Is Schumer, who has done virtually nothing to stand up against Trump for two years, so ensconced in his leadership position that he cannot be dislodged despite many Dem senators who would do a vastly better job? Maybe this will all need to await a Dem president in ‘28 who will have the wherewithal to lead the charge.
Good morning, Mary. I’m still wrestling with this issue because politics is so messy. And AIPAC’s involvement doesn’t help. I never thought I would see Massie as a hero but he is fighting hard for democracy. I’ve been suggesting Obama for Speaker of the House. Meanwhile the Republicans have narrowly voted for Jim Jordan as leader. Yikes!
Thank you yes we want Affordability, Accountability and an Ass-kicking.. it’s past time for Schumer to place himself more in a mentor position, step aside and give the reigns over..
It’s a new day and what has transpired these past two years is beyond unprecedented to which the selections of the leaders of the Democratic Party in both chambers need to rise to the occasion..
What was this about, like 11 Democrats unattended the heghog Impeachment….
Get monies out of politics, Vote Progressive/ if you can help the Progressive’s Grow to be heard, Grow To Lead.
& That Jefferies speech…Omg Mini-Me Schumer! Let Us Remind You,
“It's, We The People You Work For, Your Constituents”. Vote these disguised magaCorps, money mongrels out of office!
This Country is tired of the Beat down of high gas prices, groceries, Everyday Necessities, Utilities, Insurance's, Mortgage pmyt, rent, more insurances A I moving in next door, Of ICE in our neighborhoods etc. These stupid Selfish Wars over Corporate Greed and trump, just grifts in the drift with our Retirement Funds whom which we paid our own blood and sweat for, Our Earned Social Security, Our Medicare…
Medicaid for the poverty level income broke folks our country Leaders continues to put apon us…Red States Particularly. It's Disgusting, It's Deplorable, It's Unhumanity. These Schumer's, Pelosi’s & those 10 unattended idiot's as our so-called Democratic Leaders Needs Voting Out, period.
First, congrats on the 5 year anniversary, Mary❤️! Looking forward to many more.
It’s time for new leadership. Schumer and Jeffries need to be held accountable. Our elected officials need to answer to the American people, not wealthy donors, lobbyists, or foreign policy interests. America’s priorities must come first. We need leaders with the courage to stand up for their constituents, demand accountability, and put our country ahead of political money and special interests.
Jeffries is saying that he wants to ease things for the patient, not cure the disease. The blue wave wants the disease cured and those responsible for causing it to receive proper justice. Jeffries and Schumer are not our men.
More important than holding individuals accountable: pass a law to prevent anyone in future to take each Trumpian action against Constitutional laws, guardrails, accepted protocols and American values
The petition to replace Jeffries now has over 1.1 million signatures and yet he is ignoring that. One of the Freshmen Congressmen posted a video saying that establishment dems are threatening to make the next two years very difficult for any congress person who doesn’t support Jeffries. He’s not a true leader if he requires coercion to get the position. It’s clear he doesn’t give a damn what voters want.
First, the question about Jeffries meeting with Kushner is not how it looks, it’s why it happened at all. Second, Schumer and Jeffries are not listening to what just happened and are determined to keep the status quo. They can spin the so-called ‘Reasonable Rhetoric’ all they want, but it’s a ploy to pacify and postpone. If things don’t change drastically, and soon, it never will, and then we have only ourselves to blame.
I want revenge AND accountability. People DIED.
I agree. It is long past time to get rid of the "when they go low, we go high" attitude. I want them to be held accountable for what they've done to this country.
That whole attitude is why we had Trump the second time and Democrats did absolutely nothing to investigate if Elon and trump cheated, which was completely obvious to the naked eye.
I want the law enforced on those who have broken it over and over. And I want them to lose all their ill gotten gains, and then some.
Great read today Mary.
The Kushner meeting is enough for me.
Once one has a secret meeting with a trump family member.......unless it's you, of course, I'm finished supporting them.
And a big fat yes to offloading Schumer. if one is so stuck to support of Israel that Netanyahu seems like a guy you can work with, you're cooked.
Best intelligence in the world?
I think not. I wonder if Bibi planned that horrific attack himself so he'd have a reason to take Palestine/Gaza for he and trump to share.
Think on it.
Meanwhile a whole lotta people are suffering in both countries.
Jeffries has the support of the black caucus, so he will no doubt remain in his position.
I wish both he and Schumer would step back and let new people take leadership positions.
We don’t want people who support Israel’s policies of genocide. We need to stop sending money to Israel.
We need leaders who focus on affordability AND accountability for the crimes committed by the Republicans.
I dare say......do we still need a Black Caucus?
What is that supposed to mean? They remain underrepresented in Congress, and we aren’t suddenly living in a “post-racial” society, so yes we need the CBC.
Larry Elder. now he would be a great person to be the republican running for president in the next election. He is a fine man.

Oh dear. Is Jeffries a turncoat?
He did what ?
Kept Dems from voting on impeachment of Pete?
He's really starting to give me the willies.
Chris Van Hollen is more "fresh from the fight".

Neither Schumer nor Jeffries has the intestinal fortitude to do what needs to be done. They’re both conflicted out.

Ok…so here we are Once Again,

Mary, you have stated exactly what the people want and need and why leadership must change in order to accomplish the changes needed.
First, congrats on the 5 year anniversary, Mary❤️! Looking forward to many more.

Don’t let the door hit ya…✌🏻
