At his weekly press conference, Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made it clear that since Republicans have a mandate, they can raise the debt limit on their own.
I like his thinking and plan of action. If something is good for the people they will support it. But otherwise the republicans are on their own. Good for you Mr Jeffries
Finally! I’m a little tired of taking the high road and then the repugs take advantage of us. I am fed up with our country being held hostage by a group of extremist republicans. Let’s get in the mud if needed. This is too important. This is the right strategy.
Hold the line. Trump believes he holds all the power as evidenced by the Executive Orders he's signing and statements he's making. Democrats don't give in. Gather GOP members to show Trump that representatives speak for the people. Stick up for the working class, the middle class, and seniors who paid their share of their wages so they have something to retire on. Trump only like the rich. Well, the rich should pay taxes like everyone else. Then we won't need to raise taxes on the lower tax payers or take Social Security and Health insurance away. Fight for the people, hold the line.
I am hoping that behind the scenes that Dems are starting to put together a strong case for impeachment. One that will definitely result in a guilty verdict and get the Convict out of the white house.
Exactly. Drumpf is acting like a dictator Day 1, Day 2, etc. He blusters and already lost (at leat til Uncle Tom figures out a way to toss the entire Constitution) an important case. However Moses **Hold my peen** Johnson and ADolf VanCoMycin are quieter but in a way more deadly. Watch what they DO. not the dog n pony show we are seeing now. That is mostly distraction as Elonia and Spanky salute and dance. Behind the scenes things we can't anticipate are happening. With NO ONE to stop them.
Will they have the balls to carry it out. Trump thinks he is a FACIST leader he is destroying the Union. The federal system so do not do him any favors
If would be nice if we could but the truth is that the nominees WILL pass with a party line vote. Dems are by and large doing a good job of airing the dirty laundry of the candidates put forth. But, other than yelling from the rooftops of the danger in these nominees, there's not much they can do being in the minority.
Good for you Mr. Jefferies. Stay the course and let them flounder. We know that you we act when it is in the best interest of the American people, not the suck up billionaires.

Do not give and inch.
It makes me feel better. Love Hakeem!

Stay the course! Do not capitulate! Let the Rs and their orange master own the destruction they are turning loose.

Impeaching Trump won't get rid of vance or johnson. I'm almost more scared for a Vance administration.
The people he is in with are more organized and don't have rotting brains.

Of course they will. With the House margin so small, they have a ton of leverage.--Jason
Love me some Hakeem Jeffries!
Do not give an inch.
It’s fine as far as it goes. Now do the Cabinet nominees. Zero Democrat participation
They don't need Democratic votes to confirm them, so that is irrelevant.----Jason
We still have a very slim number of Seats to fill via special elections, contribute what you can to the DEM CANDIDATES, DO what you can for them!!
But it would at least send a signal to their voters that they oppose the madness. Otherwise, why vote for them?

Absolutely!!!!
