Eric Chaney

Hold on, folks. Can we talk about Hakeem Jeffries for a second? He spent four years in the minority with no gavel, no subpoenas, and no committee chairs. And he still got results. He forced the vote on the Epstein files, and it passed 427 to 1. He forced a House vote on extending the ACA tax credits, with three Republicans signing his petition. He forced a vote to restore union rights for a million federal workers. He helped get Ukraine aid through. And he ran months of war games to prepare for every dirty trick this regime might pull on the midterms. Three days before the election he told a rally: “One of the first things we’re going to do is run Pete Hegseth out of town.” That doesn’t sound like a guy without a spine to me. He’s said “accountability” in dozens of speeches. The subpoena power arrives January 3rd, and you’d better believe he plans to use it. I get it. We’re all hungry for hearings. So am I. But responsible leaders don’t promise revenge on camera, they build cases that hold up. Speaker Emerita Pelosi made the job look easy, because she was insanely good at it, and she is precisely who has showed him the ropes. That job seems hard as hell to me, and that's probably why whenever "popular" Democrats are asked if they want it, they're like "Nope. And I will be voting for Leader Jeffries." An overwhelming majority of Democratic members of Congress plan to back him as Speaker, but he hasn’t even been sworn in as Speaker yet. Let him do the job before we cut him off at the knees. Republicans would LOVE it if Democrats did their dirty work for them, knocking out our FIRST Black Speaker of the House in history. JFC, even the horrible, lying jackass Mike Johnson got TWO FULL YEARS, and he accomplished NOTHING for the American people. Affordability. Accountability. That’s what the MAJORITY of voters asked for, and he’s laser-focused on both. Give the man a chance.🙏💪
