Defaulting and not paying his obligations has always been his business model.

Not only America will suffer, it will reverberate around the world.

Vote of no confidence! Get rid of kevin and put someone in as speaker that will do a better job for America.

Leader Jeffries is so smart and so articulate; his manor of speech is absolutely poetic. He illustrates, so poetically, McCarthy's (and Trump's) failings.

HE WANTS TO DEFAULT ON THE DEBT HE INCURED? SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME THING HE HAS BEEN DOING ALL ALONG, NO SURPRISE THERE!

Typical Republican budget planning; cut Social Services for the needy and less fortunate while cutting taxes for the Wealthy 😢
