    If he phrased this as “affordability is my priority, and I’m not ruling out that the way to assure that is to impeach the President and his cabinet,” he could have plausible deniability. But as it is, he’s clearly listening to the wrong political operatives.

    It’s not about getting even, though that is a nice fringe benefit. It is about holding criminals to account and not letting it be seen that they can just skate away scot free without paying for their crimes.

    Have voters not made it clear enough that YOU don’t get to decide what is or isn’t a priority…they do.

    The entire election was about Republicans doing whatever they wanted regardless of the wishes of their electorate. You sure you want to burn down that same bridge, Hakeem…?

      Call your rep and tell them not to vote for Jeffries. I think this election ought to scare the shit out of everyone who isn’t a progressive that they are on the hot seat to actually fucking do something.

    I get it Jeffries, but their is something called “the law.” The price hikes are due to those Orange Shitstains breaking multiple laws.

    Going back to politics as usual is what they did when Biden got elected and look where that got them. This time MAGA’s done way more criminal shit. They need to be held accountable to kick their fascism to the curb, also for the sake of the rest of the world.

    It might not be the top priority, but it better be A priority or the Democrats are probably going to be out again in 2 years. The people want to see those in the GOP that have run so much into the ground pay for it.
