My personal favorite Black Chicago pic is self indulgent. Me and the ladies who shaped me;) In our backyard at 72nd & University in 1968, my aunt, both grandmothers, mom and me. Photo credit Dad;)

Reality check: Pretty much every member I've talked to says Jeffries will get the gavel.
Rep. Himes: "Jeffries absolutely will be speaker."
"Anybody talking about a challenger is just selling tickets to a circus with no tent," Rep. Liccardo told @axios axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…
NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker
One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days
Another said "over 500"
A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

It is absolutely wild that days after massive Black turnout propelled Democrats to a huge victory in the House, mostly white leftists are publicly demanding that Democrats reject the first Black Speaker of the House.
If you wanted a better example of the out-of-touch-ness of the left I’m not sure you could make one up that matches this.

Front runner for Texas House Speaker is Rep. Senfronia Thompson, who’s earned bipartisan respect in her 50+ years at the #txlege
Ms. T, as she’s known at the Dome, would be the first Black lawmaker and first woman to be Speaker.
She’s set for a press conference at 2p Friday.
I’m coming for the pimps! My amendment adopted today by the House will tackle human trafficking head-on and protect victims. #txlege

This is an astroturfed pay-to-play scheme to sow division and lie about Leader Jeffries.
His track record of success speaks for itself.
Raising some eyebrows among Dems - a petition about demanding a non Jeffries speaker being amplified by Mark Ruffalo and some on the left …. Is being led by someone being compensated in connection with the petition

While the @DemSocialists were attacking mainstream Democrats, @RepJeffries was lining up candidates in red-to-bluedistricts that included ministers, combat veterans, farmers, prosecutors, and other centrists from blue-collar backgrounds.

AI is problematic. In some cases it really messed up features in other cases it actually replaced Terri Sewell with Donna Miller and then f'ed up the actual Donna Miller (she is a friend of mine). Jahana Hayes does not look anything like that. . .

I will not let these people steal my joy. Instead, I’ll annoy them. Social media is full of people who don’t understand how the House or Senate works, and it’s sad.
This
A NORMAL Party would see a Congressman and Senator lead them through a political tsunami and think “Those two should be Speaker and Leader, respectively — no questions.”
A NORMAL Party would see a candidate who got 75 million votes, 3rd highest in the country’s history, with a 107 day campaign and think “Damn, that’s our candidate! Let’s see what they can do with a full campaign cycle.”
A NORMAL Party wouldn’t have kicked out the most Progressive President in modern history over one bad debate, while his opponent was a senile felon, who never makes sense.
As long as we let contrarian leftist lead the conversation, we won’t be a normal party.

Had Democrats lost the House and Senate, y’all would be blaming Jeffries and Schumer, and rightfully so. But if you’re going to blame them for losses, give them credit for the gains. They’ve earned the right to lead the party in congress.
Hegseth as a Senator sets up a great Dem pick up in 2028.
NEW: Republican sources in Tennessee tell me President Trump is “encouraging” Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn to appoint Pete Hegseth to her U.S. Senate seat.
Blackburn could resign imminently.
That would let outgoing Governor Bill Lee name Hegseth quickly and give Trump time to get a new Pentagon chief confirmed during the lame-duck session.
