2. SOUNDBITE (English) Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader:
"Right now, Democrats are prepared to support a bipartisan spending agreement that meets the needs of the American people in terms of their health, public safety and economic well-being. But we will not support a partisan Republican spending bill that continues to rip away health care from the American people."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader:
"In March, House Democrats strongly opposed the partisan Republican spending bill that hurt everyday Americans in a variety of ways, including making their health care more expensive. A continuing resolution that continues the failed policies of the Republican Party that we voted against, is not the type of policy that actually meets the needs of the American people."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader:
"As House Democrats, we are prepared to support a bipartisan spending bill that meets the needs of the American people with a focus on three areas: their economic well-being, public safety and health care. And in terms of public safety we actually support restoring grants for local law enforcement that Donald Trump and House Republicans have cut. If they’re serious about continuing to strengthen the relationship between the police and the community and driving crime down, then Republicans should be prepared in the context of this spending agreement that we are in the process of dealing with, to restore grants to support local police departments that they themselves have cut."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader:
"What we need to do is simple. Hostages need to be freed. Humanitarian assistance needs to be surged into Gaza immediately and continuously so that we can alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which is unconscionable. And then, of course, we need to find a clear path to a just and lasting peace, which means restoring the ceasefire that has been broken on Donald Trump’s watch. Donald Trump inherited a ceasefire from President Biden that he supposedly supported, and it’s been broken on Donald Trump’s watch."
++SEPARATED BY BLACK++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader:
"We need to stand by our ally in Poland, a NATO nation and an attack on one of us pursuant to Article 5 is an attack on all of us. We need to stand by Poland. At what point will Donald Trump come to the conclusion that Vladimir Putin is not a friend of the United States? He’s not a friend of Western democracy. He’s not a friend of the NATO alliance or the free world. He’s an enemy. At what point will Donald Trump realize that? And at what point will House Republicans stop bending the knee to this wannabe dictator and start acting like a separate and co-equal branch of government and speak up on the issues that they themselves previously supported, which is standing against Vladimir Putin and standing up for Ukraine, for democracy, for freedom, for truth, for NATO allies like Poland and the free world."
