Conclave (2024)

[Kevin Frey @KevinJFrey]

"He couldn't care less that grocery costs are too high. He couldn't care less that childcare costs are too high" @RepJeffries says of Trump.

"Republicans in Congress could put a stop to this insanity at any time. Since they won't next November, we will."

[Acyn @Acyn]

Jeffries: One, we do need to change the law so that sitting members of congress cannot trade stock. Period. Full stop

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Meet Louise, a three-year Navy vet with four sons ages 3, 12, 13 and 15.

She is from rural PA. After her service, Louise struggled to find a job.

Louise relies upon Medicaid to make sure her boys can see a doctor and SNAP to feed them when they are hungry.

Share her story.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Meet Mary Beth. She adopted her four grandkids, ages 10, 12, 15 & 16, because their parents suffer from addiction.

Mary Beth relies on SNAP to put food on the table and Medicaid so they can see doctors and dentists.

The House Republican Budget cuts both. Share her story.

woke up today feeling very vintage wind-up toy bear from the USSR circa 1920s-30s

“Republican politicians plan to take food and health care away from the poor to subsidize tax cuts for the rich… it’s not an exaggeration: It’s laid out, in black and white, in GOP budget plans released this week.” ⬇️

[House Budget Committee Democrats @HouseBudgetDems]

WATCH: House Republicans love to talk about their top campaign donor Elon Musk.

They're less interested in talking about how their budget gives a $4.5 TRILLION tax cut to the ultra-rich and rips away health care from American families.

[FactPost @factpostnews]

GOP Rep. Norman says Republicans are coming after Social Security next:

“This is just the first agency. We’ve got many more to come, like Social Security”

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Rep. Ralph Norman just made clear that House Republicans are coming for your Social Security benefits next.

Take a hike.

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

Republicans promised that prices would go down on Day One.

Instead, they're focused on giving tax breaks to billionaires—while working families continue to pay too much at the checkout line.

[Nicholas Wu @nicholaswu12]

Jeffries post Schumer meeting on the House GOP budget resolution: “Unfortunately, Republicans have shown no interest in driving down the high cost of living. Their primary objective is to enact massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations…”

[Acyn @Acyn]

Jeffries: Dr. King said, “Notwithstanding the odds being against us, that we’ve got to at all times press on and keep pressing.” He said, “If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. But at all times, press on.”

I just stopped by to let you know that we’re going to press on. Press on for you. Press on for the union. Press on for everyday Americans. Press on for the civil service. Press on for collective bargaining. Press on for our democracy. Press on.

[Christie Stephenson @cestephe]

I understand why you are confused about nonviolent protest, since Republicans gleefully released violent criminals into our streets. Projection much?

[Justin Chermol @justin_chermol]

This you?

[Pop Base @PopBase]

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries shares new statement:

“Wait.
The price of eggs and the cost of living was supposed to go down.
Not up.”

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@RepJeffries: "House Democrats believe that we are not sent to Washington to invade Greenland, rename the Gulf of Mexico or seize the Panama Canal by force."

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

My statement on House Republican chaos, dysfunction and extremism.

[Cami Mondeaux @cami_mondeaux]

House Democrats say the hands of government shutdown is in GOP hands if they scrap CR:

“House Republicans will now own any harm that is visited upon the American people that results from a government shutdown or worse. An agreement is an agreement.”
