“They’ll find out. They’ll find out. They’ll find out,” Hakeem Jeffries said Tuesday. ============================================================== House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned Republicans and federal law enforcement against sanctioning or arresting three Democratic New Jersey lawmakers who were involved in a tense immigration protest. “They’ll find out. They’ll find out. They’ll find out,” Jeffries said Tuesday when asked how he’d respond if officials arrested or sanctioned Democratic Reps. Rob Menendez, LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman. “That’s a red line. It’s a red line, it’s very clear.” The three Democrats were inspecting the new ICE facility, which is set to play a...

New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker are holding a livestreamed sit-in protest and discussion on Sunday from the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Titled "An Urgent Conversation with the American People," the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress' return to session on Monday. A statement released by both officials' offices said in part, "Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump's desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to...

Here we go! David Hogg has infuriated top Democrats, and they are now plotting to force him out as DNC Vice Chair. In February, the DNC elected David Hogg, 25, as Vice Chair – and Democrats immediately had buyer’s remorse as the ‘twerp’ began threatening to primary certain Dem lawmakers. Hogg has no experience in actually getting Democrats elected to office. He’s an online troll who is causing too much damage to the already ailing Democrat party, so now the Democrat leadership has the knives out for him. Last week, TGP reported that Hogg vowed to spend millions to unseat...

Dem House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday rejected a Democratic National Committee big’s controversial plan to fund primary challenges against passive party members in safe districts. Jeffries of New York instead touted his intent to back all House Democratic incumbents across the country in the 2026 cycle and push the party to focus on knocking off Republicans. “I look forward to standing behind every single Democratic incumbent, from the most progressive to the most centrist and all points in between,” Jeffries told ABC News’ “This Week” when asked about the opposing stance by Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman David...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) claimed Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that voters were rejecting the “rapidly deteriorating Republican brand” while discussing two special elections in Florida that the Republicans won and one race for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court that the Democrats won. Host Lawrence O’Donnell said, “Let’s begin as we wait for a victory speech in Wisconsin with your reaction to what you’re seeing in those special elections in Florida for two House seats.” Jeffries said, “It was an incredible over performance by the two Democratic candidates into two ruby red districts.”

The top Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives says Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election is vital because the only way to challenge “gerrymandered” congressional voting maps is “if you have an enlightened Supreme Court” overseeing a legal challenge. Republicans say it’s proof Democrats are planning to redraw maps if liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford wins on April 1. Crawford’s campaign says she’s never commented on congressional redistricting and the GOP is trying to distract from Elon Musk’s support for conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel. During a Democratic National Committee update Monday afternoon, New York House Minority Leader Hakeem...

House Minority Speaker Hakeem Jeffries just said the quiet part out loud about the upcoming election in Wisconsin. During a Democratic National Committee update broadcaster on Friday afternoon, Jeffries talked with DNC Chair Ken Martin about the importance of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday. Jeffries explained: In Wisconsin, that’s a 50-50 race, because we know Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state, and we have a strong Democratic candidate. Whoever wins is going to determine who has the majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why is that important? Because there are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state,...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is facing a rebellion over his decision to help pass a six-month spending bill to avert a federal shutdown last week— and Republicans have noted that one of Democratic megadonor George Soros’ groups is helping to lead the charge. Indivisible, an activist hub that has received more than $7.6 million since 2017 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, has called for Schumer to step down for helping pass the bill and is hosting a virtual event Saturday in which activists are encouraged to write happy retirement cards to the Brooklyn Democrat. “The Democrats will have an...

To me, it sounds like a nail bragging about its rivalry with a hammer. (Or a bag of doughnuts bragging about its rivalry with Lizzo.) But nonetheless, here we are: “We have the Republicans on the run!” announced House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Turns out the Democrats aren’t just bravely battling back against President Trump. They’re actually winning — and now Old Man Trump is running scared! In a call with party leaders, Jeffries described Trump’s recent speech to Congress as “one of the most divisive speeches by a president in American history” and predicted, because of the economy, MAGA’s...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is facing renewed criticism after making controversial remarks regarding the Defending Women and Girls in Sports Act. The bill, which aims to protect female athletes from competing against biological males, has been a source of division between Republicans and Democrats, with Jeffries and his party staunchly opposing it. During a press conference on Thursday, Jeffries reiterated a claim that the legislation would “unleash sexual predators on girls throughout the United States of America.” His statement echoed similar remarks he made when the House voted on the bill on January 14, aligning with other prominent...

A formal House reprimand didn’t contain the fallout from Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) interrupting President Trump’s speech to Congress, showing how petty fights and demands for retribution have become an increasingly prominent part of business on the House floor. The House Freedom Caucus is asking Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to hold a vote next week on removing Green from his committees. And Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) could force a vote on another measure to remove Democrats from committees if they were part of the group that sang “We Shall Overcome” and got in a yelling match with Republicans on the...

Have you noticed that the Democratic playbook hasn't changed in decades? For years, their attacks on Republicans haven’t changed. It’s always the same lines. “Republicans are for tax cuts for the rich!” “Republicans want to destroy Social Security!” “Republicans want to take away healthcare!” and so on. After these narratives have never actually proven true in generations, you would think the Democrats would try something new. But the broken record keeps spinning. After Speaker Mike Johnson secured a narrow victory (217-213) to pass the budget resolution this week, Democrats immediately launched their predictable fear campaign, accusing Republicans of gutting Medicaid....

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday and proceeded to blame Donald Trump for every problem the United States faces despite the fact that the new commander-in-chief has been in office less than a month and the Democrats were in power for most of the last four years. OK, Hakeem. After describing how Jeffries droned on about the high cost of living and how it was Trump’s fault, my colleague Becca Lower wrote:Trump has been in office for just over three weeks. Unless someone invents a time machine for him to hop into...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Senator Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries just announced they are introducing legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country. This is huge.

Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is facing blowback after calling for supporters to fight President Donald Trump’s agenda not only legislatively but “in the streets.” “Right now, we’re going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working class Americans across the country with the bill,” Jeffries said during a press conference on Friday. “That’s not acceptable. We are going to fight it...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday denounced President Trump for saying federal efforts to promote diversity are to blame for this week’s deadly crash between a military helicopter and a commercial passenger plane just outside Washington. Jeffries said the president’s comments were “irresponsible” and “shameful,” especially since the recovery efforts are still underway and the true cause of the crash remains unknown. “It’s a very irresponsible statement that was made by the president,” Jeffries said during a press conference in his district in Brooklyn, N.Y. “Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, children were killed, future ice...
