House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took action “toward drafting” an affordability agenda for 2027 that puts Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in charge of health care, and transgender-identifying Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) in charge of caregiving, according to multiple reports.
Sarah Ferris, a Capitol Hill report with CNN shared a photo on X that showed working groups for housing, gas and utilities, groceries and goods, caregiving, and healthcare.
According to the photo shared by Ferris, Reps. Laura Friedman (D-CA) and Emilia Sykes (D-OH) were put in charge of the housing group. Reps. Nikki Budzinski (D-IL) and Mike Levin (D-CA) were put in charge of the gas and utilities group.
Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), Hillary Scholten (D-MI), and Jill Tokuda (D-HI) were put in charge of the groceries and goods groups.
Reps. McBride and Morgan McGarvey (D-KY) were put in charge of the caregiving group, while Reps. Ocasio-Cortez and Terri Sewell (D-AL) were put in charge of the healthcare group.
n another post on X, Andrew Solender, a Congress reporter with Axios, shared a letter in which Jeffries stated that “America is too expensive.”
“Given the high cost of living, there are far too many hardworking taxpayers struggling to live paycheck to paycheck,” Jeffries said. “Everyday Americans can’t thrive and can barely survive. That is not an acceptable situation in the wealthiest country in the history of the world.”
Jeffries continued to criticize President Donald Trump and Republicans for having “promised to lower costs.”

Not the bee? 😵💫😂
I already know their solution. Steal from that successful guy over there and give it to these bums.
Price controls and higher taxes. But, they will be called something else.
This is the blind leading the halt and lame.
Democrat Socialists have no idea HOW to achieve “affordability”, other than by subsidies, how to provide health care other than to ration or totally deny delivery of services, or how to provide care for the needy or dependent other than by herding the participants into some kind of ghetto or reservation on the poor side of town, dependent on “clinics” and “food banks”.
Nothing at all about providing means of EARNING a living with some productive industry, or the exercise of individual responsibility and enterprise.
Capitalism is the enemy, it requires too much thinking and exercise of judgment. And maybe it won’t pay its “fair share” in revenues to the government.
“Report: Rep. Jeffries Drafts Affordability Agenda, Puts AOC in Charge of Health Care, Trans Dem in Charge of Caregiving”. How about Pete for Sec. of Transportation again?
It’s what liberals do when faced with a problem....
They double down on stupid.
They triple down on stupid.
They quadruple down on stupid.
They believe their ideology will win them the prize.............................
These morons will be the committee chairs if they should accidently take the House..............
BREAKING! STEVE HILTON ADVANCED TO THR GENERAL ELECTION!
And this is the main reason Republicans cannot stay home in November and must vote.
Obamacare was supposed to fix all our healthcare problems. Is it a failure like him?
It was designed to fail, so if you look at it from that perspective it was a resounding success!.................
The socialist bartender recently illegally spent campaign loot on a ketamine shrink. The commie also predicted the destruction of the ENTIRE PLANET if the New Green Scam wasn't passed. Only 4.64 years left.
And she's gonna be in charge of what?
The same people who drove inflation through the roof with their phony “Inflation Reduction Act” spending spree the last time they controlled the government are now going to give us “affordable” stuff. Is everybody smoking crack?
The USA can’t afford Hakeem Jeffries....
“Is everybody smoking crack?”
I’m thinking about starting. ;)
Freak-show
One word: bass vs ramanoodles, gram platner.
