House Republicans have failed this country.

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference, where he made clear that while inflation is skyrocketing as a direct result of Republican policies, Donald Trump and his sycophants in Congress are using taxpayer dollars to rip away healthcare and drag us further into a reckless war of choice instead of making life better and more affordable for everyday Americans.
Today, Office of the Democratic Leader spokesperson Christie Stephenson released the following statement:
Dear Colleague:
I write in connection with the vicious Republican assault on the right to vote, free and fair elections and Black political representation in the South.
Over the weekend, the American people celebrated the love and support of mothers throughout the nation. At the same time, Republican extremists spent the last few days applauding their ongoing effort to rig the midterm elections based on two egregious judicial decisions dripping with far-right partisanship.
We remain undeterred.
