Republicans act with the level of brazenness you saw today because they believe Dems won’t run candidates with views on moral values and energy that make it possible to contest senate races outside of the 25 states Biden carried in 2020. Our job has to be to prove them wrong.

Jeffries is now naming and shaming House Republicans in swing districts and citing figures of how many of their constituents will lose healthcare and food assistance

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else

As I have made clear, the bill Congressional Republicans are rushing to pass would have devastating impacts on Pennsylvania. To our members of Congress considering voting for this bill: if you do, you are doing so knowing the consequences it will have across Pennsylvania and in

WATCH: @HakeemJeffries calls out vulnerable PA Rs Rob Bresnahan & Scott Perry by name: "Why would Bresnahan vote for this bill? More than 30K people would lose health care in his community" "Why would Perry vote for this bill? Almost 25K in his community will lose health care"

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act. If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt

This Congressman literally dumped stock in a Medicaid provider company right before this bill came to the Floor. Don’t be fooled—these guys know exactly what they’re doing.

the other strategic approach here is hours of future clips of Jeffries calling out specific Republican members and the entitlement cuts that will effect their constituents -- but in a stunt-friendly political/media environment, a long speech also drives a news cycle

Hakeem Jeffries has broken the record for the longest House floor speech. He started speaking at 4:53 a.m., stalling the final passage of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” The previous record (8 hours, 32 minutes) was set by Kevin McCarthy in 2021.

I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. But the GOP members who voted for this were given a choice: Give millionaires and billionaires an extra $1 trillion OR Give millions of people health care and healthy food. They picked the rich people. It's fucking sick.
