Titled “An Urgent Conversation with the American People,” the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress’ return to session on Monday.

A statement released by both officials’ offices said in part, “Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump’s desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Given what’s at stake, these could be some of the most consequential weeks for seniors, kids and families in generations.”

According to the statement, Rep. Jeffries and Sen. Booker plan to speak to shared American values and the nation’s religious and moral underpinnings, and how the budget bill opposes these beliefs. They also plan to affirm to Americans watching the livestream that their voices matter, especially in this moment in time.

      wtf…I’ve been supporting you in another thread this morning about the Vancouver massacre. Cory “Spartacus Tears-of-Rage” Booker is as fake and performative as a slimy politician could ever be. I despise him.

        Confirmed an image holding up 3 fingers. However I will note that googling your name got no matching faces. Are you saying you’re the Lakewood teacher? Or?

          *Was. No principals ever had the backbone to hire me again after I stood up for what’s right.

          That is me. Not a right-wing troll, not remotely. Who are you?

              Okaydokay komradebot. Looks like we can both agree now which one of us is legitimate and which one of us is not.

              I despise internet anonymity for its duplicitousness almost as much as I despise Cory Booker for his duplicitousness.

                I don’t know who komradebot is, but I can promise you I’m not Russian nor interested in anything ML has to say.

                And yes, booker doesn’t really shine, to put it mildly.

                Did you vote in the 2024 presidential election?

                  Did you brush your teeth this week? I got all A’s in college and a National Merit Award before that. Get to the point and just tell me why you think I’m not as intelligent or as informed as yourself, please.
