Huisdemocratic leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) does so many more than hours of talking on the house floor. Jeffries helps Democrats to sharpen their identity.
At the time of this writing, Jeffries spoke for what is approaching seven hours, and he holds the final mood about Trump’s tax reductions by discussing things such as how money is taken away from people on Snap and given to Elon Musk.
Jeffries said:
In my opinion, the lie that is being told, Mr. The speaker, by some in this city that this effort, this large, ugly account is in one way or another about combating waste, fraud and abuse. One of the reasons why we know that common sense dictates that this one big, ugly account has nothing to do with meaningful to go behind waste, fraud and abuse is that Snap -beneficiaries receive an average of $ 6 a day. It is to try to help them not get hungry, to ensure that veterans and children and seniors are not hungry.
Mr. Speaker, I think it is important for the American people to process. That is what Snap offers on average, $ 6 a day. At the same time, Elon Musk are federal contracts, as we understand it, $ 8 million a day. Mr. Speaker, when the Republicans were really serious about focusing on waste, fraud and abuse in the United States of America, start there, $ 8 million a day. Start there.
Do not take it, do not tear it out of the mouth of children, seniors or veterans, if the Republicans were really serious about focusing on waste, fraud and abuse, start with Elon Musk there. And we will participate with you. We welcome you in the warm embrace of the Democratic caucus of the house to focus on waste, fraud and abuse. Start there. You can start there, Mr. Speaker. Start there.

Jeffries also discussed the secret deal that Mike Johnson made to get the voices to accept the bill:
Jeffries said: “So many of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle had opposition a few hours ago and now seem willing to fold on the floor of the house of representatives? Do you have no responsibility, Mr. the speaker, to say to the American people, which deals were cut, what happened in the back room? It will all come.
The extreme cruelty of this legislation helps to remind Democrats of who they are and what they stand for. The expensive democratic consultants were completely wrong. Democrats do not have to move to the middle.
Hakeem Jeffries shows that Democrats are the strongest if they are faithful to who they should be and fight for their values.
A democratic house will have time to wage war with Trump before these spending cuts take place, and with such speeches, democrats show why they earn it to be back in power.
