"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

    Their coalition had a majority from 2020-2022. During which time Republicans were all-powerful.

    Stop pretending that we didn’t give your party a majority that they squandered.

      We gave them 48 + 2 Ind and VP tiebreaker gave them the majority leader position who calls votes. They literally did not even have a simple majority even with the Independents.

                    50 plus Harris was enough to pass anything they wanted without a single Republican vote. It was a majority. Chuck Schumer was the majority leader, but Democrats continued to behave as though McConnell was.
