@RepJeffries I love Hakeem Jeffries already. He speaks with purpose and nails it.I understand why Speaker Pelosi chose him. As usual her judgment is trustworthy . Legislators propose bills to help & protect Americans. GOP likes political theater. Let’s enjoy this at their expense 😂

Ready, set, GO! President Trump's term is off to a GREAT start. What should House Republicans do to help him? RESPOND >>

@RepJeffries Great start by a House leader unanimously elected by his party - who I expect will one day be Speaker. Not yet clear that we can say the same about McCarthy…

@RepJeffries Now ask yourselves out there, which GOP MAGA Republican, do you hear, speak of that many accomplishments, @RepJeffries for America & the American people? A. None. ~Republicans have no solutions to offer America, except, revenge investigations & coups.

@TheDemCoalition @RepJeffries That’s the operative phrase—“willing to govern.” The GOP is a bad faith partner in that respect. They are interested only in raw power for power’s sake so that they can line their own pockets and the pockets of their wealthy friends and corporations.

@RepJeffries Exactly right. Enough with the performative dysfunctional culture war politics of the GOP. It's just a distraction for their overwhelming inability to do anything except protect their criminality.

@RepJeffries So far #HakeemJeffries looks like a man we can really get behind. He’s so steady, funny, fierce & compassionate & above all really smart. Has experience, he can serve as minority leader & get a couple years under his belt. 52 yrs old. 1st black speaker,another glass ceiling!!!

@RepJeffries One of the best spoken individuals of the decade. Rep. Jeffries will go down in history—just like Pelosi. Mark my words.
