Pain. Passion. Purpose.
He was inspiring, both in public and even more so in private. He brought moral clarity to everything he did, and his purpose was pure — to help those among us who needed it most.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1 of his presidency.
It’s now Day 401.

Trump says meeting with Democrats is now off
"After reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open, I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive"

Trump Always Chickens Out.
Donald Trump just cancelled a high stakes meeting in the Oval Office with myself and Leader Schumer.
The extremists want to shut down the government because they are unwilling to address the Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating America.

Just since this article posted this AM, @EnergyCommerce Dems have put Rs on the record again against release of the files
@EdWorkforceDems forced GOP to recess and abruptly pull a bill from markup to avoid a similar vote
These guys will really do anything but release the files
NEW column: Democrats are running circles around Republicans on Epstein.
-splitting Rs on doc release
-embarrassing Trump
-shutting down the House
-stealing the spotlight/distracting from the GOP megabill sales pitch
For once, the base is loving it. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

The only people who “didn’t try” is @axios. This is lazy and intellectually dishonest take. The bill was met twice in the House with unified democratic opposition on both votes (not that this story mentions it - inconvenient fact when the goal is to distract and divide).

To recap that House vote series - republicans are in lockstep in keeping the Epstein files secret to cover up corruption, but in disarray over their own self-declared “crypto week” and now in an unscheduled recess 🤷♀️

Jeffries on The View: "One of the reasons why this bill is so deeply unpopular -- and it is -- is because [the American people] recognize this is not what America should be all about."

Jeffries surpasses the record for longest Magic Minute speech as he says of Trump's big bill, "we are better than this."
Andy Eichar retweeted
Jeffries: "This reckless Republican budget is an immoral document, and that is why I stand here on the floor of the House with my colleagues in the House Democratic caucus to stand up and push back against it with everything we have, on behalf of the American people."

Hakeem Jeffries: “I feel the obligation Mr. Speaker to stand on this House floor and take my sweet time.”
He’s actively delaying final vote on the budget bill, giving Americans more time to call their representatives.
Andy Eichar retweeted
Jeffries says he's going to "take my sweet time" with his magic minute floor speech, as he hits the 1 hour and 15 minute mark.
Magic minutes allow leadership to talk for as long as they want. Jeffries railed against the lack of debate for the bill.
Andy Eichar retweeted
Jeffries: By some estimates, more than $500 billion in cuts to medicare as a result of the Republicans' one big ugly bill. This bill will also result in a devastating blow to the affordable care act. And as a result of the damage that's done to the affordable care act in this legislation, millions of Americans will lose their health care
Andy Eichar retweeted
Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.
And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.
We will not be silenced.

"What Elon Musk said is the stone-cold reality," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries tells CBS Evening News' Maurice DuBois in a one-on-one interview, responding to Musk’s comments calling President Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” a “disgusting abomination.” Jeffries added that Republicans are in a “civil war” over their own budget plan.

People know they are going to die one day, Joni.
The cause of death should NOT be Republican cruelty.

unfortunately, shamelessness is their superpower.
Was this supposed to make Jewish people safer, @NRCC?
Blaming a Jewish member of Congress for the recent murder and attack of Jews. This is not politics, it’s trash.
You should be ashamed.
