Trump just exposed GOP's 'desperation' with latest brazen 'lie': top Dem

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) laid down the law in a Thursday speech on Capitol Hill, debunking one of President Donald Trump's most brazen false claims he used as an excuse to cut off government funding talks with Democrats — and daring him to pick a shutdown fight rather than roll back cuts on public programs he himself swore to protect.

Specifically, Trump has claimed that the Democratic position is to mandate health care for unauthorized immigrants, which Jeffries emphasizes was never even on the table in the first place. Their only demand, he said, is to cancel upcoming cuts to existing health care programs.

The Trump administration has faced waves of scrutiny for its response to the Texas flood disaster, a slow response that was exacerbated by new policies requiring all FEMA expenditures over $100,000 to be personally approved by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, creating a bottleneck for rescue efforts.

The Trump administration appears to be "ecstatic" over recent U.S. Supreme Court successes, using the high court as a "shadow docket" to side with President Donald Trump.

The news follows a chaotic week, including Trump's hour-long speech to the United Nations where he said "your countries are going to hell" (and also suggests a triple sabotage plot), plus the news conference where he urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol (without scientific evidence) and remarks made at Charlie Kirk's memorial Sunday, where he inappropriately described hating his political opponents, according to commentary from Salon's Heather Digby Parton.
