Politicians who champion "country over party" could simultaneously put Congress back to work at a critical time and avoid the extremist damage Jordan would wreak as speaker by simply voting for Hakeem Jeffries.
Show the world you give a damn about more than the GOP and your own careers.

@kandersonus but that knife cuts both ways.
Jeffries voted with the Republican extremists to shut down the House and put us in this position, setting the stage for Jordan's potential election.
He should be held accountable for that choice, not rewarded with even more power.
@kandersonus right, and in the process prevented the election of any Speaker, continuing the shutdown of the Congress that they previously voted for, and ensuring that the GOP nutjobs have an inflated voice.
Yay.
@volkris Every Democrat voted for Jeffries 🤷
