Why we're in hell:
Republican Rep shamelessly lies/doesn't care about governing so people get health care to NOT DIE.

1. No, that is not actually their job as legislators.
2. Jeffries does give an almost daily press conference to rail against the White House ... not that the media cares to cover it most of the time.

Step 1 of baking: thoroughly clean kitchen and get everything ready. Lose energy and take an hour long break before moving on to actual food preparation steps.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
