I’m not sure who Hakeem Jeffries thinks he is, but he seems to think he’s something more than he actually is. Temu Obama somehow believes he’s got more power than he does over the governor of the third-largest state in terms of electoral votes.
The House minority leader had the temerity to threaten Ron DeSantis over the weekend after the governor announced he would be calling a special session to redistrict the state’s congressional seats in a way that would hand the GOP an additional four seats in DC. The announcement came after Jeffries went all-in congratulating Virginia Dems after they managed to narrowly pass a constitutional amendment handing that state four of the five GOP districts, though the issue is now before the state Supreme Court because of considerable constitutional violations.
DeSantis framed his and state Republicans’ decision to redistrict on the fact that Joe Biden’s regime sliced and diced the 2020 Census by overinflating blue state populations while undercounting populations in red states – even though Americans have been fleeing left-wing radical Democrat states for a decade.
“Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we’ve been fighting for fair representation ever since,” DeSantis said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Our population has since grown dramatically, and we have moved from a Democrat majority to a 1.5 million Republican advantage. Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited.”
“Our new map for 2026 makes good on my promise to conduct mid-decade redistricting, and it more fairly represents the makeup of Florida today,” he added.
It comes in mens and womens and lets your friends know you're happy to express your views and don't care what anyone thinks! Cheers!

Jeffries channeled his inner child by labeling this the “DeSantis Dummymander.” Yes, he actually said that. Super-edgy guy, this Hakeem. My sides are splitting from the laughter.
Then he tried his best tough-guy act with DeSantis: “Our message to Florida Republicans is, ‘F around and find out.’ If they go down the road of a DeSantis dummymander, the Florida Republicans are going to find themselves in the same situation as Texas Republicans, who are on the run right now. The Republicans are dummymandering their way into the minority before a single vote is cast.”
None of that is true, by the way, but Hakeem gonna Hakeem like the Dime Store Obama that he is.
DeSantis, meanwhile, responded with class because that’s who he is.
“I will pay for you to come down to Florida and campaign,” DeSantis teased. “I’ll put you up in the Florida governor’s mansion. We’ll take you fishing. We’ll do all this stuff.”
Then he dropped this truth bomb: “There’s nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Jeffries … everywhere around this state. Voters will not like what they see, they will not want that type of ideology, and so the door is open, the invitation’s out there.”
By the way, the U.S. Supreme Court just struck down a lower court ruling blocking Texas’ redistricting map, so the Lone Star State is about to contribute another 5 GOP seats. California passed one, too, and it will likely result in an addition 5 Democrat seats, while Virginia’s map remains questionable.
Missouri added a GOP-favored seat and Mississippi is likely to, as well. Also, when the Supreme Court strikes down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act as blatantly unconstitutional (you can’t base anything in America strictly on race, including voting districts), Republicans are set to pick up dozens of seats throughout the South, keeping Temo Obama leading a permanent Democrat House minority, as it should be.
