Dear Colleague:
I write with respect to our ongoing effort to push back against the far-right extremism that is being relentlessly unleashed on the American people.
We are engaged in a multifaceted struggle to protect and defend everyday Americans from the harm being inflicted by this administration. As outlined last week, it’s an all hands on deck effort simultaneously underway in Congress, the Courts and the Community.
In connection with this effort, House Democrats have formally established a Rapid Response Task Force and Litigation Working Group. I have asked Assistant Leader Joe Neguse to chair the Task Force, which will be co-chaired by Reps. Rosa DeLauro, Gerry Connolly and Jamie Raskin. If you are interested in participating, please contact Rep. Neguse or one of the co-Chairs this week.
House Democrats are committed to driving down the high cost of living for everyday Americans. We recognize that there are far too many people in this country struggling to live paycheck to paycheck. That’s not acceptable in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. In this regard, we will continue to solve problems for hardworking American taxpayers in order to improve their quality of life.
Last year, Republicans repeatedly promised to make life more affordable for everyday Americans. Apparently, they didn’t mean it. House Republicans and the administration have done nothing to lower the high cost of living. The cost of groceries is skyrocketing. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to launch far-right attacks on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public safety and the education of our children. The American people are counting on us to stop them.
Thank you for your continued leadership during this perilous moment. Together, we press on for the people.
Sincerely,
Hakeem Jeffries Democratic Leader
Scott Galloway has a great, fitting joke about Dem leadership: “They sound like a bunch of geriatrics angry that jello night got moved to Thursdays.”
It’s true.
They’re just pretending. They’re all rich and have no real stake in changing things, just like when they ignored Obama brutalizing Occupy, or when they wore their African scarves and took a knee in the Capitol. It’s all just a game to make the meager four months a year that they actually work pass by with as little inconvenience to their luxury as possible.
Geriatric rapid response occuring at Walker and wheelchair speed.
Hakeem Jeffries is a top recipient of Republican donations. Keep the act up 🫡

A task force… lead by pensioners. Well meaning pensioners, no doubt… but is this the best they’ve got?
Wow. Democratic leadership continues to prove absolutely fucking feckless.

@GlacialTurtle@lemmy.ml mind updating the link to xcancel as per https://lemmy.ml/post/25082354/16240704
I’ve changed it and added original link in the post in case nitter instance fails/people want original url.

Please use a 𝕏itter mirror next time, like xcancel.com or some other Nitter host.
I’ve changed it, but Nitter sites have often been incredibly unreliable in my experience. Not much use in a url if it breaks randomly, so I also put the original link in the main post just in case.
Maybe there’s a more reliable option? I don’t know of one. Context: https://lemmy.ml/post/25082354/16240704
