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.
this guy has a knack for theatrics; the steps are nearby where he needs be to actually have any meaningful impact, but in broad view of everyone else so that it looks like he’s doing something useful and i bet it’ll work for his presidential campaign.
Not everybody can bitch on the internet all day, I guess actually protesting is the next best thing.
Not everyone can be a honest and productive senator. I guess sitting on some steps is the next best thing.
Lmfao cry me a river, babe
