"We should be able to battle it out in the contest of ideas as opposed to trying to use these extreme terms that have been unleashed on the American people from the very beginning of this presidency, and, as a matter of fact, for a long period of time, by the current president and those sycophants who continue to do nothing more than rubber stamp his extreme agenda and hurt the American people."
"They have actually canceled votes four consecutive weeks in a row. And as Democrats, we've been here, leader [Chuck] Schumer, Senate Democrats, House Democrats making clear we are ready, we are willing we are able to sit down with anyone, any time, any place in order to reopen the government, enact a spending agreement that actually improves the quality of life for the American people, that actually lowers costs for the American people."
"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) claimed on Thursday that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is going to get someone killed with his rhetoric about the current government shutdown.

Jeffries maintained that the Democratic position that an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies should be included in any plan to fund the government."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned that Speaker Mike Johnson's rhetoric during the 23-day government shutdown is reckless and could get someone killed. Jeffries insisted that Democrats seek an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies as part of any government funding plan. Jeffries condemned the use of extreme language, accused the president and allies of unleashing such terms, and called out Republicans for canceling votes while Democrats remained ready to negotiate. Jeffries urged resolving disputes through the contest of ideas and bipartisan negotiation to reopen the government and reduce costs for Americans.
