The federal government shutdown, a severe crisis that is disrupting the lives of millions of Americans, is being met with a less-than-serious response from Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. His challenge to President Trump, ‘Say it to my face!‘, trivializes the gravity of the situation. The lives of millions of Americans hang in the balance, and Rep. Jeffries wants to make the issue personal.
What the hell is going on in Washington! New York’s Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is appearing as a top-notch clown. Is this (say it to my face) intended to make him seem tough? “Say it to my face.” And just what is he going to do if, when President Trump says it to his face? Nothing. He’ll do diddly squat. Get to work, you dumb schmuck.
Hakeem Jeffries‘ response to the government shutdown is a stark reminder of the need for effective leadership. His repeated challenge to President Trump, ‘Say it to my face!’, is not only ineffective but also distracts from the urgent task at hand.
Senator Chucky Schumer.
The shutdown, which began at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, will affect services that many people take for granted. The Senate also voted along party lines on Wednesday morning to reject a Democratic funding bill that would have reopened the government.
Senate Democrats are holding out on the House bill to reopen the government in a 53-47 vote. They need at least 60 votes to advance the legislation.
The shutdown will force hundreds of thousands of federal employees to find another way to pay their bills. And the best the minority leader of Congress can do is regress to Kamala Harris’ failed campaign slogan: ‘Say it to my face.’
The New York Rep, whose greatest gift right now is repeating a losing slogan used by Kamala Harris during her failed 2024 presidential campaign. Kamala looked and sounded stupid when she kept repeating it during her celebrity presidential fiasco. “Say it to my face.”
The federal government’s shutdown spells disaster for millions. Thousands of Americans will lose their ability to feed themselves and their families, and all Big Clown Jeffries can do is slogans? What a DEI disaster!
Essential services, such as Social Security, Medicare, military operations, and federal law enforcement, would continue to operate. Policymakers will continue to get paid.
President Trump’s threat to fire federal employees due to the shutdown also seems misguided. Discussing the potential firing of 300,000 people who have been furloughed due to no fault of their own is mean-spirited.

It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.
