BREAKING: Jeffries says Republicans spent zero time in closed-door talks on lowering healthcare costs β€” but suddenly it’s all they pretend to care about on camera.

β€œThey didn’t even bother to bring it upβ€”because the cameras weren’t rolling.”

a man in a suit and tie is saying " we are letting all of you go " ALT: a man in a suit and tie is saying " we are letting all of you go "

Let me get this straight...

Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson...

Had 10 months to come up with a new budget so the government wouldn't shutdown today...

And the Republicans completely failed at their job...

Time to fire all Republican members of Congress...

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.
