""Democrats came to the White House to keep the government open,""
""The president answered with a racist AI video.""
""Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare. We are NOT backing down.""
President Donald Trump and congressional leaders met at the White House to negotiate avoiding a government shutdown before the funding deadline. After the meeting, Trump posted an AI-generated video depicting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries with a Mexican sombrero and a fake mustache. Senator Alex Padilla condemned the post as racist and said Democrats had come to keep the government open. Jeffries called the video bigotry and reiterated demands to cancel proposed cuts, lower costs, and protect healthcare. Democrats seek to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire and to reverse Medicaid cuts included in the Republican bill.
