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.

    The Republicans don’t call themselves Nazis, and yet they are the party of Nazis. Turns out you can’t trust a group’s self-applied label to accurately describe what they stand for in perpetuity.

      Turns out when “leftists” are proven wrong, they resort to whataboutism, and strangely compare themselves to the Nazi party.

      Oh, and by the way, remember what I said you aren’t the left?
