Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill
1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history.
2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.

There are lots of wrong definitions of habeas one could give, but this is just about the *most* wrong definition possible.
Imagine a cabinet member being asked to define freedom of speech and answering that it’s the government’s right to stop you from criticizing them. About the same.
