The Democratic Manager of the Hakeem Jeffries room (D-NY) is much more than talking to the room for hours. Jeffries helps Democrats refine their identity.
At the time of writing these lines, Jeffries spoke about seven hours, and he maintains the final vote on Trump’s tax reductions for the wealthy by discussing things like the way money is removed from people on Snap and given to Elon Musk.
Jeffries said:
In my opinion, the lie says, Mr. President, by some in this city that this effort, this great ugly bill concerns in a way the fight against waste, fraud and abuse. One of the reasons why we know that common sense dictates that this great ugly bill has nothing to do with waste, fraud and abuse significantly is that, on average, SNAP beneficiaries receive $ 6 per day. It is to try to help them not be hungry, to try to make sure that veterans and children and seniors are not hungry.
Mr. President, I think it is important for the American people to deal with. This is what Snap provides on average, $ 6 a day. At the same time, Elon Musk, his federal contracts, as we understand, amounts to $ 8 million per day. Mr. President, if the Republicans were really aiming to target 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 from the mouths of children, the elderly or veterans, if the Republicans were really serious about the target of waste, fraud and abuses, start just with Elon Musk. And we will join you. We will welcome you in the warm embrace of the Democratic Caucus of the Chamber to target waste, fraud and abuse. Start there. You can start right there, Mr. President. Start there.

Jeffries also discussed the secret agreement that Mike Johnson concluded to obtain the votes to adopt the bill:
Jeffries said: “So many of our colleagues on the other side of the alley had opposition principles just a few hours ago and now seem ready to fall back on the ground of the House of Representatives? Do you not have some responsibility, Mr. President, to say to the American people, which happened.
The extreme cruelty of this legislation helps to remind the Democrats who they are and what they represent. Democratic consultants at high prices were harmful. Democrats do not need to move in the middle.
Hakeem Jeffries shows that Democrats are the strongest when they are faithful to whom they should be and fight for their values.
A democratic house will have time to go to war with Trump before these cuts took place, and with speeches like this, the Democrats show why they deserve to be back to power.
