House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that he hasn’t heard from the White House since a Monday meeting with President Trump and other congressional leaders.

“We haven’t heard from the White House since the White House meeting on Monday. The president has been behaving, you know, somewhat erratically and in [an] unconventional fashion in the context of the government shutting down,” Jeffries told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead.”

“Clearly, they wanted to shut the government down, unfortunately,” he added. “We’re ready to work together to bring it back open, but to do it in a way where we enact a spending agreement that’s bipartisan, that meets the needs of the American people, while at the same time addresses the Republican health care crisis that is devastating everyday Americans all across the country.”

On Monday, congressional leaders left a meeting with Trump, saying they hadn’t made progress toward a deal that would prevent a government shutdown later in the week.

1. Whoa!! That's actually very good messaging!!!

[ananda]

11. It actually is. The question is...

how many people will see or hear it?

[Scrivener7]

13. I hear you. But this is a huge improvement

on past statements. Maybe with something worth hearing, this will be shared more widely.

2. I do not expect to see government before March 2026

Conservatives are happy with no government. Drown it in a bathtub, remember that one?

5. I just said the same thing below!

3. I think TACO really misfigured the fallout on his shutdown.

14. Misfigured?

You mean miscalculated?

So far there isn't much fallout. People are inured to Shutdown drama over the last 2 decades.

15. Give it a couple of days. I meant misfigured, as in he doesn't think it's going to fall in on him.

4. No,

Republicans are too busy drowning the government in a bathtub to meet. Total wet dream for them.

Guys, things will be very, very different if or when the federal government “reopens.”

6. He's on continuous loop in the White House wearing a sombrero

So confining his comments to bipartisanship might not be the best way to go right now.

7. He should go on FOX state media then Trump will see him.

9. The big problem is that they won't honor any "compromise" anyway

The corrupt SC has already given its approval for trump to unilaterally "impound" or "rescind" anything in any budget.

10. Trump wants the shut down.

It allows him to destroy more of the federal govt.
And destroy healthcare and terrorize the American public.

12. Have you checked the golf course? Just a thought.

[flamingdem]

16. Intimidation not working

and the GOP forgot the meaning of compromise.

This will last a long time.
