Joyce Vance: It strikes me as extremely sad for our country that this isn't a bipartisan statement being made by leaders from both parties.

Schumer & Jeffries: We encourage Mr. Trump’s supporters and critics alike to let this case proceed peacefully in court. #TrumpIndictment #Schumer #Jeffries

It’s “really more appropriately named the ‘committee to protect insurrectionists,’” #Jeffries said.

Nancy Pelosi untethered: The former speaker revels in newfound freedom https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/nancy-pelosi-untethered-if-you-dont-like-your-pillow-its-not-my-fault/ar-AA18cFMN 💪💪💪 #Pelosi #Jeffries

Ya think?

“President #Biden delivered a compelling speech outlining a vision to make life better for everyday Americans” #Jeffries tweeted following the #SOTU speech.

“And his dignity presented a stark contrast with the right-wing extremists who are 👉🏼unfit to serve👈🏼,” he added.

3/ #McCarthy concludes his letter to Leader #Jeffries by stating he is #committed to returning the #Intelligence Committee to one of genuine honesty and credibility that regains the trust of the American people”.

I’m surprised his signing pen didn’t explode.

Kevin #McCarthy has removed Democrats #Schiff & #Swalwell from the House #Intelligence Committee, saying “integrity matters”. In a letter to Democratic Leader #Jeffries, McCarthy wrote: “I cannot put partisan loyalty ahead of national security.” In their own statement, Schiff, Swalwell & #OmarS (whose own committee assignment is under threat) accuse McCarthy of political vengeance. The Speaker recently apptd #MarjorieTaylorGreene to chair the #HomelandSecurity Committee. https://wapo.st/3WDLQ85

#Jeffries taps #Schiff and #Swalwell for Intelligence panel despite McCarthy’s vow to block both

Jeffries argued that #McCarthy has no justifiable reason not to accept his appointments of Schiff, who served as chairman of the Intelligence panel until Republicans took control of the chamber, and Swalwell. #politics #House

The united #Democratic Party and Mr Jeffries will make it difficult for the little man #Jordan to put on his show.

How Democrats can flip the script on the GOP’s ‘weaponization’

As #Jeffries selects members to serve on the #GOP’s new select subcommittee investigating the “#weaponization of the federal government,” he would be wise to bring in the #bigguns — the #sharpest, most #media-savvy and #legally #sophisticated members in his party.

@MacFarlaneNews
He’s going to make an awesome speaker when his time comes (the sooner the better).

Jennifer Rubin makes an interesting point (as always). The 218th House, with the #GQP shitshow and chaos, will be less a place for subtle and strategic tactics and more a place for inspiring and in-your-face rhetoric.
Perfect time for the switch from Pelosi (the “legendary legislator, a fabulous facilitator and a no-nonsense negotiator”) to #Jeffries

On Saturday, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries made history as the first Black lawmaker to lead a congressional party, making a splash with his first official speech as House Minority leader in the wee hours of the morning. #HakeemJeffries #Jeffries #congress

@edpearl @mog7546 Beautiful speech. I too, had to look up xenial…beautiful word. Here is the definition from Merriam-Webster:

xenial (adjective): of, relating to, or constituting hospitality or relations between host and guest and especially among the ancient Greeks between persons of different cities.

Thank you and bravo again for Leader Jeffries! Wow…some in the world have forgotten time honored xenial... 🙏❤️🕊 #xenial #jeffries #intellectmatters #kindnessmatters

So when I watched #Jeffries’s speech as #McCarthy was elected Speaker I thought he sounded dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb, like a bad SNL character.

I’ve been saying he sounded unserious, especially with the amount of pride he seemed to take in finding a bunch of words that all began with the same letter. Good job, buddy.

But one of the funnier things I’ve seen on this platform is somebody responding to that notion saying, what do you mean he was unserious? Didn’t you see how he trolled McCarthy?

Oh gosh. When we’re at the point that trolling from the Speaker’s chair is considered serious, well

I think we’ve gone full #Idiocracy.

Xenial means hospitable! I’d never heard that word before today.

@TeachingKindness oh snap. I just realized. #Jeffries just schooled everyone with the ABCs

@Lady_Star_Gem Bravo Leader Hakeem Jeffries! 👏👏👏 #democracy over #autocracy #jeffries

#USPol #Jeffries #values #Shade #GOP

Hakeem #Jeffries, #Democratic #HouseMinorityLeader, when turning the gavel over to #Republican Kevin McCarthy, laid out why we are Democrats, as seen on a clip from a #Politico article, https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/1/7/2145953/-New-House-Democratic-Leader-Hakeem-Jeffries-awesomely-amazingly-accurate-alphabetical-alliteration

The article further states, "Jeffries’ wonderful warmth, wit, and wisdom are just what we need to keep Democrats united while possibly getting ... tiebreaker votes from ... moderate Republicans ... fed up with the #MAGA terrorists".

Please watch. It will make you proud to be a Democrat.
