Hakeem Jeffries
@RepJeffries
Brooklyn Congressman. Leader @HouseDemocrats. Work hard. Stay focused. Deliver results #ForThePeople.
Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits. Back off.
The Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will raise electricity costs and kill 1.75 million jobs by wiping out clean energy investments. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepScottPeters explains why we must build a clean, affordable, and reliable energy future – not tear it down.
House Democrats are focused on fixing a broken system to make life more affordable for everyday Americans. The one big ugly bill instead prioritizes massive tax breaks for billionaires. Shame on these extremists.
Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king.
House Republicans continue to robotically rubber stamp the extreme and unpopular Trump agenda. Every single House Democrat strongly opposed the reckless Republican rescissions bill. We remain unified in defending the American people. Extremists are doing the exact opposite.
It is with deep respect and profound sadness that we mourn the passing of former Congressman Bill Clay Sr. — a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. May he rest in peace.
Republicans are driving the economy off a cliff. There is a better way. House Democrats are fighting for an America where everyone who works hard and plays by the rules can afford to live the good life.
Inflation is up in America. Republicans are not fixing the problem. They are the problem.
Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and House Republicans are protecting the swamp they promised to drain. And mocking their most loyal supporters. What are they hiding from the American people?
More than 210 House Republicans voted today to block the release of the Epstein files. What are these people hiding?
Inflation is up, consumer confidence is down and healthcare is being ripped away from millions of Americans. Donald Trump and House Republicans have failed our country.
I just introduced an amendment to demand the release of the Epstein files. Representatives should have to vote tomorrow either to stand with ordinary Americans and release the files or side with the rich and powerful. Whose side are you on?
Either @realDonaldTrump and his acolytes fueled the rumors of the significance of these Epstein files to help his campaign, or something is there! That's why on Monday, I’ll introduce a resolution demanding the Trump Administration release all files related to the Epstein case.…
Kristi Noem and the Trump administration have broken FEMA. The President claims she is doing a great job. This lie will cost American lives.
Innocent children drowned to death in the Texas Hill Country. The federal and state government failed them. What are Donald Trump, Governor Abbott and House Republicans doing about it? Their focus is to gerrymander the Texas congressional map in the middle of the decade.
Donald Trump and House Republicans have failed to build an affordable economy. Why? They would rather pass toxic legislation that rips healthcare away from millions of Americans.
Our statement in connection with Randy Fine’s Islamophobic attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
Vladimir Putin continues to brutally attack Ukrainian civilians. And punk the Trump Administration. Why are Republicans bending the knee to a sworn enemy of the United States?
Everyone deserves to retire with grace and dignity. Hands off Social Security and Medicare.
