Leader @HakeemJeffries: MAGA extremists were trying to break America. But America was not broken.
There’s a lot of damage that we’re gonna have to reverse — including reversing the Medicaid cuts, ending this war and stopping the Trump tariffs.
But these MAGA extremists have not been able to break America. America is on the verge of breaking MAGA extremism on November 3rd.
Leader @HakeemJeffries lays out House Democrats’ agenda:
We’re gonna work hard to drive down the high price of gas, groceries and housing. We’re gonna fight to make healthcare affordable, end this war, get ICE under control and reverse the Medicaid cuts.
We are going to engage in aggressive oversight so we can hold the crooks accountable who’ve been robbing the American people blind during the first two years of the Trump cartel’s reign of horror.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: We will relentlessly focus on making life more affordable for the American people and holding the crooks accountable.
We’re gonna follow the facts, apply the law, be guided by the Constitution and let the chips fall where they may.
If you have folks who have been stealing from, shortchanging and screwing over the American people — we are going to hold you accountable using every tool available to the United States Congress.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: The days of the unfettered Trump crime spree are coming to an end.
The Trump cartel is so focused on enriching themselves, their family members, their friends and their donors — they’re not focused on actually making life more affordable.
That’s why Democrats are promising full, complete, relentless accountability when the new Congress begins in just a few months.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: If you have been stealing from the American people, shortchanging the American people or screwing over the American people, beginning on day one, we’re going to hold the crooks accountable.
The Trump cartel is totally out of control.
The American people know it. It’s a new scandal that arises every day. And we’ve got to clean that mess up.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: ICE is completely and totally out of control. As House Democrats, we've made clear that we are not providing a dime to Donald Trump's violent mass deportation machine.
ICE agents should be required to wear body cameras. The masks need to come down.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: What unites the House Democratic Caucus is the fact that all of us recognize life is way too expensive.
There’s a shared aspiration to make life better for working class Americans and middle class Americans.
That really is going to be our core mission — because Republicans have left behind a graveyard of broken promises.
JD Vance makes a recommendation on who to vote for in the midterms:
"Vote for the people who have solutions to lower the cost of gas, don't vote for the people who made the problem to begin with."
Eliott Rodriguez brought the man who wants to lead the socialists in Congress into a Cuban bakery in Miami and, in one move, showed just how little he knows this community.
He and his socialist friends turned a Cuban small business into a political prop and left the business dealing with the fallout.
It is an insult to parade this ideology through a community built by survivors of socialism and embrace the very people who champion it.
If Eliott does not understand the people he is asking to serve, how can Miami trust him in Congress?
Leader @HakeemJeffries: Democrats want to focus on costs, we want to focus on care and we want to focus on combating corruption.
Right at the top of that list is the economy, lowering the high cost of living, dealing with the fact that far too many everyday Americans are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, who can't thrive and can barely survive.
This is in the wealthiest country in the history of the world — it's unacceptable.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: Democrats are committed to driving down the high cost of living.
To fixing our broken healthcare system, to ending this reckless war of choice in the Middle East.
To making sure we get ICE under control.
And to ensure that taxpayer dollars are actually spent to make life more affordable for the American people.
Leader @HakeemJeffries calls on Donald Trump to get a wellness check:
“Something is really wrong with this guy…
It's dangerous at this moment to have this individual sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue calling the shots as the President of the United States.
The country is falling apart. The economy is a disaster. Gas prices have skyrocketed. He's gotten us involved in this reckless and costly war of choice over in the Middle East. Healthcare is being ripped away from the American people. Inflation is through the roof, but he has time to post about me.”
Leader @HakeemJeffries: We've recruited an incredibly talented group of candidates who have incredible life experience.
They're combat veterans, they're nurses, they're doctors, they're teachers, they're social workers, they're philanthropists, entrepreneurs, firefighters and people who have life experiences that demonstrate clearly that they care about the American people.
And now, given all the extremism that has been unleashed on America by Donald Trump and House and Senate Republicans, they feel the urgent need to put themselves forward, to run for Congress, to serve, so we can end this national nightmare here in this country and get things turned around in America.
.@BrianTylerCohen: What could that money be used for if not dropping bombs in the Middle East at the hands of a president who swore up and down that there would be no new wars?
Leader @HakeemJeffries: That money could and should be used to restore as many of the Medicaid cuts as possible. That money should be used to make sure that no one in America goes hungry.
That money should be used to make sure that the money that was stolen from consumers as a result of the Trump tariffs, which have cost them thousands of dollars in additional expense per year, and have now been declared illegal and unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
The American people should have their money refunded to them.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: The American people want us to focus on making their life better, more affordable and not getting involved in another endless war in the Middle East that is going to end in failure.
This administration somehow found billions of dollars for bombs, but can't find any money to actually bring down the high cost of living here in the United States of America.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: Donald Trump promised the American people that he would lower costs on day one. He lied.
Costs haven't gone down — costs have gone up.
The affordability crisis is very real. It's not a hoax, Donald.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: We are going to take back control of the House of Representatives.
We are going to be able to focus on the issues that matter for the American people — driving down the high cost of living, fixing our broken healthcare system and cleaning up corruption, so that we can deliver a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Leader @HakeemJeffries: We need to clean up the corruption that’s out of control right now. You have people in high office who are so focused on enriching themselves, their family members, their donors or their friends — and they’re not focused on making life better for the American people.
@ERodforCongress is going to help us clean up the mess in Washington, DC. He’s going to help us fight for an affordable America. He’s going to help us make sure that immigration enforcement is fair, just and humane.
