House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority in the lower chamber after midterm elections.

“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.

The House minority leader has lauded Democrats’ push for redistricting nationwide in an effort to pick up additional House seats and signaled that the party will advocate more for working-class Americans, after Democrats saw losses from the key demographic in the 2024 election.

    Ask Black men how often they get the benefit of the doubt during a traffic stop.

    PoCs and disabled folks both get treated like shit by the cops. That’s been the fascist MO for a long time. I don’t think expressing outrage at the treatment is racially biased. Was Rodney King biased against Hispanics because he expected the police not to drag him out of his car and beat him up on the side of the freeway?

    We have years of documented cases where routine vehicle encounters turned deadly for Black drivers.

    For black drivers. For poor drivers. For handicapped drivers. For anyone who isn’t fluent in English. Women - particularly young women - in police custody experience a heavily unreported incidence of sexual assault.

    So when others seem to get a pass

    I don’t think this woman was asking for “a pass”. I think she was objecting to being hog-tied and abused until she’d fallen unconscious.
