House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is on hour eight of his marathon speech opposing Republicans’ budget bill. Jeffries argued that the House should represent American needs, a standard he says the bill does not meet.

A 3 pt spread is nothing, that's within the MOE. And why the fuck shouldn't I be mean when for months straight ppl have been ripping the Dems to shreds. Explain to me why the fuck half this country still supports this asshole and don't use the terms messaging or media. This country is sick.

👇‼️& keep calling! I get that it seems pointless & that we're dealing with people that appear soulless, but all the doom&gloom/obeying in advance posts I'm seeing all over the place are not helping at all! Keep up the fight in EVERY way that you can WHILE you can, good folks! bsky.app/profile/altn...

Some people are working on gathering at the Capitol steps to show support for Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York. If you can’t be there in person, you can still show your support from wherever you are.

I have been watching Brother Jeffries preaching since 4:53am EST. The only speech that has kept me this captivated is Cory Booker’s historic filibuster speech. Thanks to Dems for all that they are doing to keep this heinous budget reconciliation bill from passing.

Anyone want to discuss whether Democrats are doing enough to fight the Repubs’ draconian reconciliation bill? Kudos to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for speaking up and speaking out. The brother has done democracy-loving folks proud. RESIST!!!

You’re right, there is no stopping them…their hate, their cruelty. But I still think this is worthwhile. Let’s have our say about it at least…let’s let them hear it. Every single word.

Just wish they would listen but money talks and to hell with the people. Yes, the Dems at least need to let the people know they fought a hard fight against this bill for the rich. But republicans have always been about the rich let’s hope the poor finally will understand this. Maybe 🤔

Hakeem = feckless pussy bitch. I'll gladly apologize if he stops the bill from passing or in any way demonstrates that his top priority isn't the continuation of the system that gives him whatever power he has that he doesn't actually use for good.

At this point, I predict a lawsuit on the budget bill is coming if this is passed and signed into law that a majority of people do not support. This budget bill IMO, is unconstitutional let alone key provisions and I hope attorneys and lawyers look into this. Just ask Ken Paxton when he filed one.

And if they look the other way by voting yes on this big ugly bill... we'll make them pay at the ballot box. Midterms, special elections, runoffs, presidential elections, etc. - you name it.
