Titled “An Urgent Conversation with the American People,” the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress’ return to session on Monday.
A statement released by both officials’ offices said in part, “Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump’s desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Given what’s at stake, these could be some of the most consequential weeks for seniors, kids and families in generations.”
According to the statement, Rep. Jeffries and Sen. Booker plan to speak to shared American values and the nation’s religious and moral underpinnings, and how the budget bill opposes these beliefs. They also plan to affirm to Americans watching the livestream that their voices matter, especially in this moment in time.
You do understand that Democrats have minority, right? The Democrats forced multiple 15-day votes that went nowhere. Al Green introduced articles of impeachment that will not get anywhere. What else do you expect them to do while in minority?
Take some queues from Van Hollen and use the power they’ve assembled to get themselves elected, and mobilize themselves and their voters to address the problems directly instead of making large shows of asking Republicans to do the right thing.
You think this is a message to Republicans in Congress? Just like his 25 hour speech, this is a message to the citizens who aren’t paying attention, regardless of party affiliation.
