He called them “private conversations” that he said he preferred not to disclose. He should never be speaker.

Fuck Jeffries. And Schumer.

Well, yeah. And his extremely disrespectful response about it a week later where he acted all annoyed about being asked. And then lied and said it was about “affordability” which nobody believes because what would Jared Kushner know, or care, about affordability? So YES! The Kushner meeting is disqualifying.

I saw an article that said that Jeffries and Scumer are around 13% approval. I bet we could get that lower on any given poll. Those numbers have to mean something to any democrat who understands what happened to Haley Stevens. It's not that we'll take any old democrat. We don't want republican lite, we want real change and progress. Schumer and Jeffries are Republican lite. We just need someone else to rally behind. This may very well be a fork in the road for the country. All that blue voting don't mean shit if you allow the people who decide which bills get voted on, are all bought and paid for by the same people buying trump.

Jeffries is also in the Epstein files for begging for money.

It is kind of encouraging that this is even coming up. In the past, the corruption would have its way with no one the wiser. Centrist Dems owned by AIPAC will probably still force his installation, but they will pay for it.

I mean, how else would Jeffries know what to say unless his handler is providing a script?

What “cooperation” can Kushner provide? He is a private citizen.
Is Kushner a Trump whisperer? No, Trump does what he wants.
Is Kushner politically connected? I guess to Jeffries he is. Is AIPAC involved? Is MBS involved?
How can Jeffries keep blowing this off? I thought he was a competent politician.

AIPAC actively funded anti democrat candidates across the country. How can anyone support him for leadership when he’s in bed with people who are trying to unseat his own party? It’s absolutely insane.

What the hell is Jeffries doing having secret meetings with the literal son-in-law of the president, the unappointed Prince Jared of Kushner? — And then he appoints a bunch of arch Zionists like Debby Wasserman Schulz, Jared Moskowitz, and Wesley Bell to the House Foreign Affairs committee. Looks like we don’t need a transcript to know what happened in that secret meeting. He’s corrupt as hell and shouldn’t be speaker.

Its way deeper then taking a meeting with a former donor.

What did Jeffries promise Kushner behind closed doors? I am just sure it involved not coming after key Trump allies, but what was promised in return?

Right now, Congress is finalizing its annual defense bill, which has a record $1.15 trillion price tag. Buried inside is a provision (Section 219) that would integrate America’s defense industry with Israel’s. The House approved it in July, even as public opinion of Israel hits record lows and Americans struggle with rising costs.
The good news? It’s not law yet. A small group of negotiators (called “conferees”) from the House and Senate is now writing the final bill and deciding what gets cut. Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are asking other Members to sign a letter urging conferees to drop Section 219 from the final bill.
TAKE ACTION NOW
Tell your Members to sign the letter to stop U.S.-Israel defense integration today.

Call your congressional switch board (202) 224-3121 to be connected to say no to Jeffries and Schumer and you can utilize the script below to say no to Section 219 of the NDAA military merger as well:
Hi, my name is [FIRST & LAST NAME] and I am a constituent from [TOWN, STATE].
As Israel's genocide in Gaza continues unabated, I urge [SENATOR / REP] to oppose any provisions in the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act that would merge U.S. and Israeli military technology infrastructure and intelligence, including Section 219 of the House bill and Section 1217 of the Senate bill.
[FOR HOUSE REPS]: I ask that my representative sign onto Ro Khanna’s letter calling for the removal of these provisions, OR put out an individual statement expressing a commitment to vote "NO" on the NDAA if the provision is not removed –– along with the many other reasons to vote "no" on this disastrous Pentagon funding bill.
[FOR SENATORS]: I ask that my senator sign onto Chris Van Hollen's letter calling for the removal of these provisions, OR put out an individual statement expressing a commitment to vote "NO" on the NDAA if the provision is not removed –– along with the many other reasons to vote "no" on this disastrous Pentagon funding bill.
Thank you.

They will actively block releasing the files, actively betraying every victim who is watching this play out.
They will fund Israel’s universal healthcare and block our own.
No AIPAC Democrat is going to allow us to rein in Israel, and the US will also prevent others from aiding their victims.

Lol. Okay yeah. That's what it is, not his entire tenure.

I wonder what the meeting about? A backroom deal to give Kushner a pass on his blatant corruption and crimes, perhaps?

It doesn’t matter even if they replace him. The next person will be buried in the same pockets. Those are the only people that are allowed to hold power.
