He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Trump's budget bill is deeply unpopular. So is his handling of the economy and his immigration crackdown.
And 55% of Republicans think the government is hiding information about the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Understand this: As Trump gets cornered, his lies will become more malicious and dangerous.
