Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/collections/ou…

.@JamesTalarico: I've been bucking my own party since I got elected in 2018. I have no problem sharing hard truths with my own party, and our immigration system is a prime example of government not working for people. I'm a border security Democrat. I believe we've got to have a sane, orderly process to ensure that we know who's coming into our country. Public safety is the most important thing the government does. More important than public education, more important than public health — nothing matters if we're not keeping people safe.

🧵@RepJeffries claims he wants to crush antisemitism, but he previously hosted his notorious antisemitic uncle, Professor Leonard Jeffries, for a speech and then lied about his support of his uncle’s views when he was first elected to Congress. Hakeem Jeffries has never disowned these antisemitic comments, nor to my knowledge has ANY reporter asked him specifically about these antisemitic statements. In 2022, I drove to the university he attended and unearthed the evidence. Reporters should do a better job. Receipts below 👇 Hakeem Jeffries invited his antisemitic uncle Dr. Leonard Jeffries to speak at his college, claiming his uncle’s racist speech was “factual information, proven through scholarly documents and texts.” At the time of his speech in 1991, according to a New York Times article, “Dr. Leonard Jeffries Jr., the chairman of the black studies department, centers many of his classes on the idea that people of European ancestry -'the ice people,'' as he calls them - are fundamentally materialistic, greedy, and intent on domination, while people of African descent - 'the sun people' - are essentially humanistic and communal. He has passed out booklets to his students that argue that an abundance of the skin pigment melanin gives blacks intellectual and physical advantages over whites.” Leonard Jeffries spewed antisemitic bile that there was a “conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood, where people called Greenburg and Weisberg . . . put together a system of destruction for black people.” And he outrageously claimed that Jews financed the slave trade. One report found “Dr. Jeffries preaches Jew-hatred like a religion.” But Hakeem Jeffries shockingly argued that Leonard Jeffries’ statements “contain factual information, proven through scholarly documents and texts.” When he was first elected to Congress, Hakeem Jeffries was asked about Leonard Jeffries' outrageous statements and he LIED, claiming he was not familiar at all with his uncle’s statements and had never read one of his speeches. In 2022, in a Washington Examiner piece, I exposed Hakeem Jeffries hosting his anti-semitic uncle at college and then lying about it when he was a Member of Congress. Oh, and for good measure, Hakeem Jeffries called Justice Clarence Thomas, General Colin Powell and Professor Shelby Steele “House Negroes” because of their views. Hakeem Jeffries has never disowned any of these comments. Time for reporters to do their job.
