According to Chuck Schumer the next two years will be Donald Trump promising to work with Democrats if they promise to let him get away with his crimes. Chuck needs to go.

Guys, guys, I just called my Dem Congressman's office to tell him I don't want Jeffries as speaker and before I was even done with my preamble, the staffer said, let me guess what you're going to say...he said he's been hearing it all day and then he asked me what I'd like to see Democrats do and had a 10 minute conversation with me. He even asked me to repeat some items from my laundry list so he could write it down. I also called my Senator. Who has also been getting calls about new leadership. Call your reps!

Hakeem Jeffries cannot be Speaker. We fought hard to win this election just to throw it all away by making this man Speaker??
Hakeem Jeffries on Morning Joe: The American people don't want us to get even. They want us to get things done on their behalf because life is way too expensive. We ran on affordability, we won on affordability, and now it's our job to govern on affordability.

Just keep in mind, Schumer and Trump are friends. The kind of friends, that, even after Trump pulled the J6 bullshit, Schumer attended a dinner where Trump was speaking, and laughed at his stupid ass jokes. I donโ€™t want men or women like that anywhere close to a leadership position in this party.

I know Hakeem Jeffries has many passionate supporters, and I respect that. Heโ€™s an effective communicator and has served Democrats well in many respects. But I have serious reservations about his becoming Speaker. My greatest concern is one we cannot afford to overlook: presidential succession. Given the possibility of vacancies in BOTH the presidency and vice presidency, our next Speaker could conceivably become President of the United States. That possibility demands an entirely different level of scrutiny. Iโ€™m also gravely concerned about his ties to AIPAC and support for ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ. I question whether Jeffries has the resolve and independence this extraordinary moment requires. His longstanding preference for compromise and political diplomacy concerns me, particularly when dealing with an administration that has repeatedly demonstrated its disregard for accountability. An administration that lies, deceives and corrupts cannot and should not be negotiated with. We can pursue meaningful legislation AND investigate corruption. We can govern AND enforce the rule of law. Accountability is not revenge, and moving forward does not mean looking the other way. I respect those who support Jeffries. But I believe this moment calls for a different kind of leadership. The stakes are simply too high to treat the speakership as business as usual. People voted blue for consequences, not concessions.
JUST IN - Hakeem Jeffries declares candidacy for Speaker of the House in letter to colleagues.

There is a panic at DHS HQ right now; shredders are likely being run around the clock; emails deleted; video records scrubbed; and hasty contracts signed. They've got a lot of money to get to their friends, and a lot of misconduct to hide. Draft the subpoenas now.
