Description

Earlier this week, you might have seen that President Trump tweeted a racist, AI-generated video with a sombrero and mustache on House Representative Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies.

Jefferies joined The Tea with April Ryan to talk about why the President is focusing on distractions and memes during a government shutdown instead of a resolution to the shutdown, why Democrats won’t sign a Republican funding bill that refuses to provide healthcare for everyday Americans, and his eight-word message to the President: “Cancel the cuts, lower the cost, save healthcare.”

You can catch The Tea, live every Thursday, at 5pm eastern at The Contrarian.

Also, the gates to the Supreme Court will crack open on Monday for SCOTUS’ next season of cases.

SCOTUS expert Steve Vladeck [20:45 ] looks at the upcoming docket and also breaks down the court’s decision to allow Fed Governor Lisa Cook to stay in her seat until a hearing in January.
