The GOP knows they are earned benefits for the American people, from the Democratic Party......

sonsofliberty.vote•51 days ago

They are entitlements. Because we are ENTITLED to them. We are OWED them because it's our money. I hate that Democrats keep bowing to the games of semantics by Republicans.

Was disappointed not to see him get Speaker of the house today. I’m sure he scares the crap out of republicans

nansj77.bsky.social•51 days ago

Don't let the GOP cut SNAP or Medicaid! Why punish the least of us?

sara5470.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s the one I’m Mar a lago you have to worry about. Those in Washington only do king musk and king trumps bidding.

Its about fucking time someone came out and made it plain for these miserable, selfish liars

dolly41.bsky.social•51 days ago

Medicare is expensive. We pay monthly for access to Part B and coverage for drugs. It's not an entitlement.

The Republicans want to give the top tax brackets another 2 trillion dollar break, increasing the debt! They cry the debt is to large. They want to cut our Social Security which have zero to do with the debt! We paid in all of our life. Hands off our social contract!

And remember to burn dc to the ground if they take them away.

leigh-reeves.bsky.social•51 days ago

But he's just describing the definition of entitlement programs! Augh!

momoftwo.bsky.social•51 days ago

Preach it Leader Jeffries.

weimarunner.bsky.social•51 days ago

Can’t wait for him to be speaker of the house!

Pretty sure they are. Which is what they should be. People pay in and are therefore entitled to receive them.

euphoricfuzion.bsky.social•49 days ago

No. If you listened, he called them "earned" which counters the GOP narrative.

It has a sting that will work if we move with it.
Earned benefits

2findout.bsky.social•49 days ago

The GOP narrative being that Americans can't use a dictionary? Could they not just stop letting the GOP idiocy guide the narrative? They are, in fact, entitlements.

2findout.bsky.social•49 days ago

The post says they are NOT entitlements. But they are. An entitlement is a government program guaranteeing access to some benefit by members of a specific group and based on established rights or by legislation.

pinkytoan.bsky.social•51 days ago

Or ….. We ARE entitled…
TO EVERYTHING WE’VE PAID IN ALL OF OUR WORKING LIVES. Republicans seem to hate the average working American. 😞

I love that he consistently chooses to be a part of the solution. Total respect.

alithor.bsky.social•51 days ago

YES YES YES!!!

greatscott123.bsky.social•51 days ago

I love Jeffries as he inspires my soul.

vbarrington.bsky.social•51 days ago

We need Democratic Reps to speak out more often. Keep it up please.

Ok, but why aren’t healthcare and being able to stop working as an elderly person without becoming homeless and/or starving just human rights? What’s wrong with calling things entitlements if they are things to which human beings are entitled? They ARE entitlements. We need to stop running from this

rolandstgeorge.bsky.social•51 days ago

Neither are VA Healthcare and Disability Compensation.

teleportnow.bsky.social•51 days ago

They ARE entitlements! Democrats need to stop allowing the right to reframe arguments and running away from words. These programs are literally money set aside in your name, ‘entitled’ to you.
