When we saw Republican Rep. Mike Lawler call out Hakeem Jeffries to his face, we did a mini fist pump. We may also have quietly cheered at our desks before pointing and laughing at our screens like crazy people.
Hey man, it's the little things that keep you going when you cover this nonsense for a living.
And sure, we see plenty of big-name Republicans railing about Jeffries, but it's rarely in his face ... so this was pretty damn epic.
Of course, Jeffries knew he'd been whooped, so he jumped on X to pretend he wasn't whooped.
Even though he so clearly was.
Some random Republican tried to come for me in the Halls of Congress.

Things didn’t work out well for him. #SaveHealthcare
Some random Republican.
Like, he's not allowed to speak up because he's 'random?'
Hakeem is really embarrassed if he's trying to downplay Lawler this much. And of course, he didn't bother to tag Lawler, but ...
Oh Hakeem, everyone can watch the video for themselves — it did not go well for you.

1) you voted to shut the government down
2) you won’t sign onto a bipartisan bill to extend the ACA tax credits
3) you refused to denounce Mamdani for blaming the Jews
