RUSH EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: "Well, listen, it’s incredibly important to note that House Democrats and Senate Democrats were united in are strong and principled opposition against Donald Trump’s extreme agenda. The problem that we confront is that Republicans have effectively become a rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s ideology and his extremism, and have chosen to abandon their role as part of a separate and co-equal Branch of government. You know, as members of Congress, we don’t work for Donald Trump. We don’t work for jd Vance, we don’t work for Elon Musk. We work for the American people. That’s why, as House Democrats are determination was going to stand up for the health care. The American people stand up for veterans and farmers every day. Americans, the children, the older Americans, the people with disabilities who are all going to be hurt by this one big, ugly bill. And the problem that we confront in the legislative Branch right now is that Republicans have basically conducted themselves like they’re a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump incorporated, not independently elected folks who are supposed to be serving the best interests of the American people."
