We cannot sit by while Republicans gerrymander the Texas congressional map to rig the midterms.
Democrats must fight back.
"Hakeem is clearly upset and angry and frustrated by this," one House Democrat told Axios.
In 2026, if Congress becomes Democratic, Art lI Sec 4 gets invoked. Trump will be impeached AND removed from office, for treason, and ALL of his people too. IMO, besides the Epstein files, THIS could be another one MAGA Republican's worst nightmare come true: Legal consequences = treasonous actions.
What are you going to do? Actions speak a lot louder than words.
Please let the Texas Democrats know we appreciate their bravery. This can't be easy but we need them to hold the wall.
Democrats can and have to out gerrymander the Republicans. Minimum district size is 30,000, just think how many congressional districts can be created in NY and CA alone by redistricting the largest cities in the country. Dems have the advantage in population centers if they use them.
"Democrats must fight back"
lol
Hakeem, you're grandstanding again. You're full of words and shit without any actions.
Agreed. So when are you going to start? We've been waiting
Fight fight fight
Here is a math project Ted
How much money is Social Security taking in per month right now with full employment of 96%.
Now give us your three best ideas to make SS financially sound
Prove to us why we can and should re-elect you.
While I’m glad to FINALLY see some action from Congressional Dems, it’s extremely telling that after 8 months of crimes and atrocities, the thing that got you off your collective ass was a threat to your own positions and status.
It really tells us all we need to know about the Democratic Party.
Ds sat and watched the Rs march along in their long game that got us here. It took decades to get to this point. Hope you have some strategy to fight. Wishing and hoping is not going to win this fight
What do the numbers look like if just the biggest blue states maximize Democrat representation? Between California, New York, Washington, Illinois, Wisconsin, the GOP stands to lose what, 100 seats?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT???? jfc im so sick of this! the country and the people are getting run into the ground and all you guys do is talk? Organize the people already!! Your constant posts about what we already know - ya know, because we’re LIVING IT.
About effing time.
Yes you can...and you will Not a damn thing you can do about it Besides, your seat is as good as vacated
You sat by while Texas, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina and others did it before though.
Gerrymangering disenfranchises Americans. Today, the congressional map shows gerrymandered seats gained: Republicans: 22 Democrats: 7 "Both parties do it?" Yes & No.
That’s the line for you? And, are you just sitting by at the moment?
Hakeem talked for 25 hours...and then voted to confirm a criminal. F off. We don't need photo ops and performances from you stupid azzes.
Gislaine Maxwell reported to be a Naturalized Citizen but no public records are available? Sounds sketchy
Time to become ruthless in the pursuit of equity and fairness.
Ted, I see some of your colleagues are now saying the situation isn"existential."
Hasn't it been existential for a decade? The Garland fiasco wasn't enough of a red flag to where the GOP was going? You people have been asleep at the wheel. Your names will be etched into history for you malpractice.
stop framing it as if the republicans are only doing texas. they gerrymander everywhere they can and have for decades. all democrat controlled states must gerrymander to save the country from being ruined forever. this isn't some little thing. they are in fact transforming the usa into nazi america
Fight 🔥 with 🔥
It's like trying to put out the fire after the house burned down but yes, please.
All in GOP fascists plan to sideline midterm elections.
You better be ready. I hope you have contingency after contingency already planned out.
With respect - I’ll believe it when I see it….they still haven’t endorsed Mamdani.
WE THE PEOPLE are fighting this not none of you!!!🙄
I myself as a voter am all for it… It’s long past due for the democrats to start playing the maga/maggots game.
He speaks up about this issue, only because it has nothing to do with israel. He's got to make noise in the few areas he's allowed to.
We hear you, but we need ACTION. This is exhausting, people are burned out because we’re boycotting, showing up to protest. Our power is at the polls, then it’s up to YOU. You say “we have to do _____”, then NOTHING HAPPENS. There is no follow-up, we only see/hear endless performative rhetoric 🤨
Gerrymander everywhere possible, take back the senate and house. Get rid of the selfish and orange. Pass federal laws to stop gerrymandering everywhere
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social It’s been existential, and you were late to the party. I would add that your biggest misstep and liability are your total capitulation to AIPAC. Let me remind you, Zionism is not the same as Judaism.
Too bad I have to pay to read this. Maybe you could summarize it for the poor people
Make sure the "Do Something Now" folks in the comments are helping democracy besides deflecting their responsibilities.
Indeed. Act accordingly! Your voting constituents are watching. #RESIST
Well, better late than never.
I'm sure he'll write a finger-pointing Tweet or complain in monotone in a press conference that no media will attend or report on.
👍💯💯💯
It is your CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY to impeach the criminals in the Executive Branch.
You pretending to fight the fascists while you are actively enabling them is really insulting.
Resign now, Lieu.
It’s about fucking time, excuse me if I’m not impressed 😑. Fucking cowards 😖
Starting now?
You spelled #impeachment wrong.
Yes. We must resist these lamentable Republican efforts.
I sure hope so. Our Federal D political leadership scares easily and worries about donor money. I hope they have the stomach for this.
The constituent expect nothing less and we will primary out the wussies.
And thank you, Rep Lieu for all you do! Just please pass this message along 😊
Less talking and more doing. Get away from the mic and get together with Dem Governors fighting on the front lines.
So Hakeem’s job needs to be seriously threatened in order for him to put up a real political fight to uphold democracy?
Leave the baseball bat a home please and bring chops and facts and strategy. Our rights and freedoms depend on him.
If you need ammo. Republicans always have a higher number of house and Senate seats than their percentage of votes cast (see chart) They have their thumb on the scales and are going for the fist.
Only took you 12+ years to fight….
Fight fire with fire. It’s on you at this point.
