Outstanding job Rep. JEFFERIES!

Hakeem Jeffries truly did a great job on fox discussing the shutdown. Truly.
Now we need him and the rest of the Democratic leadership to be just as outstanding in highlighting the viciousness and unlawful , unconstitutional cruelty that ice is imposing on we the people. Everyone on this forum is aware, but we need people who only get corporate news to be just as aware.
Ice , Epstein, the shutdown. It is possible to highlight all of it.

of the House Democrats all showing up to work in the chamber. Hakeem is there to lead them. There, of course, are not goppers becuase, of course, they're hiding at home. The Dems hold a regular session, but it is filled with facts, excellent oratory and declarations concerning the shutdown and the damage the goppers are doing to this country. Whatever work can be done is done. They show up every day, and they are both specific and incendiary.

I won't watch TLJ - Trump's Little Johnson - but I doubt PPS would interrupt him and refuse to let him talk like she did to Jeffries.

But I like the way Jeffries specifically stated that this isn’t about party, it’s about health insurance for Americans. It undercuts TLJ’s strategy of blaming it on Democrats playing politics.
