Comms for @RepJeffries. @RepCummings, @RosaDelauro & @lausd_zimmer alum. Views are my own.

Pain. Passion. Purpose.

[Elijah E. Cummings @RepCummings]

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.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1 of his presidency.

It’s now Day 401.

Is your life more affordable?

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

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.

[Christie Stephenson @cestephe]

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

[Christie Stephenson @cestephe]

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).

[Christie Stephenson @cestephe]

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 🤷‍♀️

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

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."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Jeffries surpasses the record for longest Magic Minute speech as he says of Trump's big bill, "we are better than this."

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

This is a moral moment.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

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."

[Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas]

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.

[Mychael Schnell @mychaelschnell]

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.

[Acyn @Acyn]

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

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

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.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Jeffries: I've heard a lot from my Republican colleagues who have expressed pride in this accomplishment. I ask the question if Republicans were so proud of this one big ugly bill, why did the debate begin at 328 AM in the morning?

[CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews]

"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.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

People know they are going to die one day, Joni.

The cause of death should NOT be Republican cruelty.

[Christie Stephenson @cestephe]

unfortunately, shamelessness is their superpower.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

House Democratic Leadership Statement on Trump's Attempt to Intimidate Congress.

[Christie Stephenson @cestephe]

Do not fall for this bothsides-ism. The entire point of the bill is to deal with expiring tax provisions. GOP is actively choosing NOT to extend credits that people rely on for coverage.

We are debating how many MILLIONS of people will lose healthcare. Let's not lose the plot.
