I have been hoping to see someone address this. Like you, I'm beside myself. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES WHEN I READ THE STORY. JFC!! THIS WASN'T BRAIN SURGERY!!
I can't stop asking myself ---> WAS THIS DELIBERATE??
Rebecca...I'm glad to see how strongly you feel about this. None of them would want to sit in a room with me for five minutes, though I'd love to have that opportunity.
Thank you for this. I am so pissed off about this! The arrogance and entitlement cannot be accepted. They are however, handing us yet more evidence that the leadership is inadequate at best and and the behavioral norms in congress are a problem and cannot be permitted to continue.
So Jack what you’re saying is Democratic leadership signaled to the caucus that this vote was not important and they could take a pass? Likewise all leadership comments about Hegseth were just BS. Shame on them. I wonder what issue they would be required show up for if they couldn’t manage this one!
When I read this I almost blew a gasket!!! What … these nuts did not know about the vote before they wandered off??? Are the missing persons besides Pelosi oldies or newbies?? Not that should make a difference. If they knew when the vote was they should have been there 15 minutes early!!! WTF did we work like dogs to get the blue wave for?
Jeffries couldn’t even get the Democrats lined up for the vote…that doesn’t bode well for any future actions in a fight back against Trump and the Republicans! Good God…this isn’t rocket science!
I cannot begin to tell you how royally pissed off I am. I lived in the DC areas for years. My sister and her friends worked in different departments in the government and one worked on the Hill. I know DC traffic. We knew some of the games one party would play and call for a quick vote because it has been done before. There was NO excuse for them being more than a 10 to 15 minute walk to the chamber. To make it much worse it was the Dem minority whip that was holding the event where the 11 were. She DEFINITELY should loose that position. Pelosi would have never let that happen!

Trust that they'd all leave feeling humiliated.

AFAIC, for THIS ALONE, Jeffries should go sit in the corner while everyone else on that side of the aisle CHOOSES ANOTHER LEADER!!!
Don't just be on time. Be Early. Show respect for the opportunity you are being given.
Absolutely, Nancy!
-Jack
💯 AGREED. BE F*$#!ING EARLY. 🤬 🤬🤬
Cowards. Jeffries must go.
Agree. 100%, Sherri J.

Loza Holland...couldn't have said it better myself.
This should be treated like the critical incident it is. NO "We can handle it in January" BS excuse can fly.

11 no shows + Jeffries lack of leadership = 12
That's the most important match in the United States right now, Alicet.
