Hakeem Jeffries to oppose bid to cut off U.S. aid to Israel
WOW: Hakeem Jeffries has come out against an amendment to cut $3.3 billion in military aid to Israel from a State Department appropriations bill, just weeks after his fundraising committee received the largest earmarked disbursement in the history of AIPAC. readsludge.com/2026/07/14/j...
Andres Gowan39Yet more proof that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social absolutely SHOULD NOT be in leadership.
WethePeople25Schumer and Jeffries have passed their sell by date! When Dems take back Congress, we need new leadership
lilmermaid17.bsky.social22😡😡😡😡 Jeffries needs to go! Not a good leader!
Philly Steve in NJ ❌👑 🏳️🌈17And the Democratic Establishment wonders WHY "Democratic Socialists" are beating their sycophant candidates at the Primaries?
maraleia14He's a piece of shit traitor.
Penthesilea11On some deep level I will never actually understand this. Like, I like to think there is no doctor who would kill patients for money, no teacher who would abuse students for money, etc. We are supposed to believe in what we do. How is it so easy to buy politicians?
Anonymous9I hope Netanyahu chokes on a his own shit. But it’s pretty clear by all your reactions to this news, that you’re falling for headlines, not digesting information. None of you read the fucking Bill or you’d know it also kills humanitarian assistance, refugee programs, counterterrorism programs, etc
agingflowerchild.bsky.social3I am done with all Israeli apologists.
Owned by the Netanyahu lobby, Hakeem Jeffries is out of step with the position of decent Americans that the U.S. must stop financing genocide. If Democrats win the House, we can’t settle for Jeffries as speaker.
MoonMama5He needs to be replaced. Schumer too
Jane4I'm done with this asshole! @pelosi.house.gov What have you done to us? He's a miserable half-life of a representative! Mealy mouthed and backing Netanyahu illegal killings THAT IS WHY DEMS ARE PISSED
Deborah E3I agree. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social does not represent what seems to be a rising majority of Democrats, especially younger voters, who see the genocide in Gaza as a red line. Clearly Jeffries does not
ChiDad #FUCKICE3Voters across the country should make that a condition of supporting a candidate. Hakeem is completely out of touch with what’s happening
Joel Lesko3I agree. It will be hard for anyone else to get the votes because they all love rewarding the person who's "next in line", but Jeffries is not meeting the moment. I only hope his out-of-step positions don't hurt the blue wave.
RuledByStars2Agree he has to go…
🔥🔥 Hakeem Jeffries: Donald Trump lied about the Iran war, lied about lowering the cost of living, and lied about immigration enforcement. Jeffries calls out the $1 trillion+ Pentagon blank check, skyrocketing costs from tariffs, and ICE going after law-abiding immigrants.
Sigma_Drac22Jeffries also refuses to address the genocide on Palestine and the war crimes in Lebanon. But you know, he says performative things about Trump while cowtowing to Republicans...so good guy I guess.
Don Neel15Yet Jeffries is making sure the Israelis get all "their" murder money.
PINO FOTUS13Not a fan of Jeffries. He needs to go.
B Moorefield7Now if he’d get his head out of AIPAC’s ass.
frankcmyk.bsky.social6Jeffries has turned out to be a huge disappointment. Sadly most of CBC has been compromised by donations from a certain fake country in the Middle East that loves genocide.
electricblue51.bsky.social4He ought to call out taking money from AIPAC.
Hakeem Jeffries represents almost everything wrong with Democratic Party politics. He was my Congressman for many years, and I never felt remotely represented. I hope he faces a serious primary challenge in the future.
Max Berger121The rise of the progressive left wing of the Democratic Party has energized people like me to become part of the political process. Rather than invite the new energy and ideas into the party, Jeffries has always treated us as a threat to be destroyed. He is the worst of the establishment.
Gary Wanderer1Almost two thirds of Democrats now support ending US aid to Israel.
Vagabending1We really need more organizing in Crown Heights around someone who can defeat Jeffries. He will always be exactly this terrible if he never faces any competition. There was no primary for 2026... its. joke.
Top House Democrats vow to oppose bid to cut US military aid to Israel
Matt Novak38984% of Democrats under 50 have an unfavorable view of Israel, according to Pew. 57% of *Republicans* under 50 have an unfavorable view of Israel. Lindsey Graham's death should be a reminder to Democratic leadership that the only generation that still supports Israel is literally dying off.
Eat the rich44Just completely tone deaf. Repeatedly, Dem voters are opposed to it, but they just can't stop siding with genocide
Chris⚖️Justice32Every leader needs to call out Netanyahu & the genocide. Clearly and loudly
thelouzealand.bsky.social20I can't say this clearly enough. Fuck Jeffries and Schumer. They are awful, and need to not be anywhere near the steering wheel.
Orel McKawkholster14Israel has universal healthcare, access to abortion, etc.... So why the fuck are we giving them over $30 million a day of OUR tax dollars???
Amelia11That's why people say both parties are two sides of the same coin.
Carl Marx23Nobody works as hard to get Republicans elected
Hierophant Shelley B Woke - Living Saint of Purity🏳️⚧️🖤💜🤍 💛22Top @democrats.org can burn in hell because they'll never wash the blood from their blood-drenched bodies.
foxxcub ☀️⛱️16i swear to god every democrat who is in this camp needs to be PRIMARIED UNTIL THEIR EYES BLEED JFC
Tiger Lily 🐅 🏳️⚧️9The Democratic Party is still pro genocide. Can't say that I'm shocked
Chuck Taggart, Private Eye8THIS IS [ONE OF MANY REASONS] WHY WE WANT TO VOTE YOU OUT AND REPLACE YOU
Andrew Sorg6Dems should be fucking embarrassed
Cigarette🚬5These Mfers love to look their voters square in the face and scream "GO FUCK YOURSELVES!"
dabxdee.bsky.social4Your tax dollars hard at work... just not for you
Michael Crawford4We've gotta get rid of these idiots or we'll never get anywhere.
AL Kaline 🇮🇪 🍉3If only people had voted for Kamala Harris, then she, too, could have gone against the will of the people and continued to support genocide.
This is how it works: Hakeem Jeffries recently received AIPAC PAC's largest ever earmarked contribution to his joint fundraising committee. Today, he announced he was supporting another $3.1 billion no strings attached gift to Israel. It's all quid pro quo, and it's totally corrupt.
Rick Stewart3Fuck him, and fuck Schumer. They are a one of the MAIN reasons why we are in this mess. The fact that they are still in leadership while we are forced to be witnesss to this calculated, slow moving Coup tells us everything we need to know about the Democratic caucus. Demand change, NOW!!
Philip Hadley2I’m not sure about this, but it seems to me that Jeffries might have underestimated the extent to which Democratic voters, (and not just the progressives, but many “centrists” as well), are no longer that keen on writing a blank check for the benefit of the Israeli war machine.
Larry Marson1Jefferies is bought and paid for just like Schumer. Disgusting
charissla.bsky.social1And that's why we got Trump - the dems need to listen to their voters and they ain't.
Sorry but Hakeem Jeffries is not a leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ... told colleagues Tuesday he will vote against an amendment to strip $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel and said Democratic leadership would not whip the vote, leaving members free to vote their conscience ...
Leslie A. Larson9Those beholden to AIPAC will vote like this.
digger69-51.bsky.social5So keep the war going then🤷♂️ get rid of this clown along with Schumer. Not democratic leaders! They are just like their cult pals.
BlueSunnyDay4He doesn’t have an ounce of leadership in him. Time to cut him lose. He’ll get another role with Israel’s assistance.
hawks93.bsky.social3Hakeem Jeffries and CHUCK RAT SCHUMER both needs 2 RESIGN there leadership role. Plus Chuck MUST RETIRE
Mother of Wichie-kin2It likely will cost him and prevent him from becoming Speaker, ever.
Noel Dickover2Leaders to fervently support genocide should not be a part of the democratic party Democrats used to stand for human rights. I still do.
Jeffries making me eat my "Schumer's got to go but at least Jeffries will move with his caucus" stance I see www.politico.com/live-updates...
Justin Wallace8Continually stunned at just how unfit for this moment both men are. I know they cannot be stupid, so at this stage it is simply willful refusal to acknowledge anything that is happening and respond accordingly. So very tired of them both.
Gaspard de la Nuit1And the DNC wonders why they’re losing to big, dumb MAGA. Arrogant fools.
Baron Von Trapp Star1Everyone should have recoiled in horror at what a dipshit Jeffries is the moment he did that stupid "A is for America, B is for Bipartisanship" speech three years ago democraticleader.house.gov/media/press-...
Once again party leaders say they prefer their corporate donors over the people: Top House Democrats on Tuesday said they will oppose an effort to cut funding for Israel’s military, amid a rebellion from voters over US support for Israel that has roiled elections www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
Kev🇬🇧🍺5I wish I could say I am shocked but it would be a lie. BOTH parties couldn't give a flying fuck what the American people want, and haven't done for decades, they are all in the pockets of the big donors.
Lisa 🇨🇦4They are just not getting it are they.
detchas.bsky.social4May they all lose their elections
🖇️ Jane4How about Hakeem ask WTP what we expect and want with regards to the unconditional financial support of Israel while we go without.
pleinairportal.bsky.social3Hakeem Jeffries is to the RIGHT of where Nancy Pelosi was in Legislature. Anyone w/ a different opinion just should not be taken seriously concerning Politics. SF Liberal is different from Upstate NY *Liberal*. Naming him as a successor was not a validation of her political vision, it's status quo.
Pieka Albrecht2They refuse to listen to the voters. Dump Citizens United now!
Keith B Martin DC 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🌎7The country is in no mood to continually tolerate elected officials who ignore constituents. Republicans aren't the only ones who could be vulnerable come November.
Bill Gould #TransRightsAreHumanRights4Top House Democrats want all Palestinians wiped off the planet in the name of profitable fascism.
Wouldn't this imply that America's greatest and most skilled politicians include Eric Adams, Bill De Blasio, Michael Bloomberg, Joe Crowley, Dan Goldman, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, etc.
Will Stancil45I think a better explanation is that NYC machine politics risks producing exceptionally weak electeds, who turn out to be easy pickings for highly ideological candidates whose high-engagement, high-info base can dominate in a low-turnout environment
Jesse Berman1Don’t worry, I don’t think anyone actually in NYC believes their politicians are the cream of the crop
