Hopeful news like this on the Supreme Court. Good on Leader Hakeem Jeffries!!

I like Jeffres, too.. and so do a lot of people who are paying attention to what he actually does.

"I don't give a damn": Jeffries defends "maximum warfare" remark

October 2025: Jeffries amps up Dem pushback in redistricting wars

LEADER JEFFRIES: “DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO RESPOND FROM COAST TO COAST AND AT ALL POINTS IN BETWEEN TO THIS EFFORT TO STEAL THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS”

Jeffries amps up Dem pushback in redistricting wars

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is escalating his efforts this week to thwart Republicans’ nationwide redistricting push.

The New York Democrat spent the weekend in southern California, campaigning for the Proposition 50 ballot initiative that would let Democrats gerrymander California’s congressional map.

Behind the scenes, Jeffries also has continued to lobby state lawmakers in Illinois for a stalled redistricting effort there, according to sources familiar with his plans. And Jeffries has been plotting with Ohio Democrats on how to block a GOP attempt to draw out Democratic Reps. Emilia Sykes and Marcy Kaptur.

This multi-state effort is crucial for Democrats’ chances to retake the House majority.
