House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) called on Senate Republicans on Friday to act as a check on the incoming Trump administration — a response to a handful of controversial Cabinet nominations announced by the former president this week.
Jeffries declined to weigh in specifically on President-elect Trump’s list of picks, which includes two of Jeffries’s former House colleagues: Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), nominated to become attorney general and director of national intelligence, respectively.
But he strongly suggested they, and other Trump selections, are unfit to command the agencies they’ve been tapped to lead, and he urged Senate Republicans — who will control the upper chamber next year — not to rubber-stamp the nominees out of a blind loyalty for the new Republican president.
“The Senate has a job,” Jeffries said during a press briefing in the Capitol. “They should focus — meaning the Senate Republicans — on being a separate and co-equal branch of government and serving as a check and balance on a particularly out-of-control, when it emerges, administration. That’s their job.

We need to get the muzzies out of our government. They are TRAITORS.
Can’t somebody shut the boy up. He’s got a big mouth for a freeloader.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) needs to be Gitmo’d for treason.
DEI Hakkeem got the hand jive flowing though. And the Barack stilted lilt. Watch out America. He’s a Turkey.
Key word minority stop acting like you won because you didnt
The GOP members of the US Senate rubber stamped virtually every wacky nut job appointment Obama and Biden put up
For the Alt Left, after the parade of radical extremists nuts they put the last 4 years, to claim Trump picks are unqualified is absurd in the extreme
You can just see how the Left is spooling up the fear machine. Deliberately trying to sabotage the administration. They can’t stand being relegated to the bleacher seats.
Shouldn’t this dumb bass turd be playing football or basketball?
STFU, punk. You lost. And lost biggly. Maybe you should go hide out on Qatar. Oh wait, Qatar is tossing Jeffries’ pals out now.
Sure, let’s take advice from the losing party. /sarc That would be stupid. Not that the GOPe is known for their collective mental acuity.
Hey Jeffries - SHADDAP!
Bump
Trying to have control now.
In the words of your exalted messiah, “elections have consequences”. So STFU.
This is the clown that would’ve happily got rid of the filibuster if they won because you know they would’ve had a”mandate”
I was walking through the city park the other day, and I saw a dog take a Jeffries right on the walking path.
It was disgusting.
Thank you for your suggestion.
