Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, also a New York Democrat, had the worst numbers of the four congressional leaders, 24 percent approval against 54 percent disapproval. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, had the lowest approval at 21 percent, but fewer voters disapproved of him at 46 percent.

    Wait wait wait. Hold the fuck on.

    Democrat voters Rebel.

    No, this is not rebellion. This is demanding representation.

      I recently read Jeffries is in the Epstein files and begged for money. That would explain why he acts like a republican in disguise.

      Exactly. He failed us. Repeatedly. He should resign immediately, for failing to represent his supporters, but you know he won’t.

      Don’t forget Booker, Pelosi, centrist and Republican-lite folks like Manchin, and other “we go high” limp noodlers, too.

      NO NEOLIBERAL FASCIST COLLABORATORS. NO “REFORMING” ICE… ONLY COMPLETE DISMANTLING AND CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

      Change.org is a great way to feel like you did something, while doing nothing at all.

      Call and write your representative, that way you are actually heard.

          Did you know that people who post these polls get paid per signature on Change.org? It’s an engagement grift.

          Literally don’t sign the Chang.org petition. It is a waste of time, and legitimizes a useless service.

          Contact your representatives directly and tell them what you think. Stop believing that social media websites have your best interests in mind.

    I realize now why he met with Kushner. I think he was jealous Mamdani had established a relationship with the President and as a result felt upstaged. So in his fragile little mind he thought meeting with Jared would demonstrate a similar type of political power.

      Jefferies is an AIPAC recipient. Kushner is Trump’s bribery guy. And Israel’s as well. Maybe Russia and the Saudies.

      Point being, there’s only one reason to meet with Kushner, and that’s some form of bribery.

        He isn’t merely an AIPAC recipient. He is one of the top 20 recipients of AIPAC/Pro-Israel money in American politics.

        A separate OpenSecrets historical table puts Jeffries’ total from pro-Israel PACs and individuals at $1,741,230 through the 2024 election cycle. That placed Jeffries 11th among the top 20 recipients listed and slightly ahead of fellow New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, at $1,727,974.

        Israel is paying these two millions to keep American tax dollars flowing. I for one am sick of my tax dollars going to Israel so they can give their citizens free healthcare and higher education while we pay for their fucking war.

    I really hope this momentum to push out Schumer and Jeffries is real and we can actually get new leadership in

      It’s not so much that he has the votes, it’s that no one has tossed their hat into the ring for the job. He’s basically running unopposed.

      Jeffries might want to run it by the Minority Leader first. What if the GOP prefers a different Speaker? I fear there isn’t enough reaching across the aisle here.

        That’s why they call him Hakeem “If you’re still on your side of the aisle, you haven’t reached far enough” Jeffries.
