When he was six years old, Leader Jeffries’ son Joshua explained that “debacle” means “something bad.” On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social explains how the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s presidency have been a debacle for the American people.

The fire at Historic Clayborn Temple is heartbreaking—but not the end. I've long supported Clayborn Temple, I fought to secure $3M for its restoration before House Republicans killed FY25 CPF funding, and I'll fight again in FY26 to help rebuild it. We can’t lose this vital piece of history.

Warren was my best pal. We traveled, shared stages & talked constantly. I introduced him in Memphis & Nashville—“Ladies and gentlemen, Warren Zevon"—and hosted him at the 2000 LA Dem Convention. He always was a Hall of Famer. Now it’s official. “How was I to know she was with the Russians too?”

The Trump admin is canceling thousands of student visas—including at UofM, CBU & Rhodes. No notice. No explanation. These students aren’t threats. They’re our future doctors, engineers & entrepreneurs. It's a disgrace, it's un-American, and I'm urging Secretaries Rubio & Noem to change course ⬇️

South Memphis residents deserve answers—and a voice—when it comes to xAI’s plans and potential pollution risks. I’ve always stood up for our environment and public health in Memphis, and I've been pressing the EPA for oversight and accountability here. Read my op-ed in today’s Commercial Appeal ⬇️

The GOP is letting polluters off the hook, gutting clean air & water rules, and freezing funds that Congress approved to combat climate-driven disasters. On #EarthDay, remember: our planet can’t afford another 4 years of this. We have to fight for clean air, clean water, and future generations.

House Democrats want to take on price-gougers to drive down grocery costs and continue to lower the cost of prescription drugs. Yet Trump and Republicans won’t stop driving prices up. On the Democratic Daily Download, @wassermanschultz.house.gov talks about the high cost of living for families.

Pope Francis was a moral leader who challenged the powerful and lifted up the poor. When he spoke to Congress in 2015, I was struck by his call for compassion, justice, and stewardship. His legacy will live on in that message—it's needed now more than ever. May he rest in peace. Pax vobiscum.
