ICYMI This Week: Congressman Meeks Responds to the Disastrous Failures and Unprecedented Chaos of the Trump Administration 

 

Rep. Meeks Holds Telephone Town Hall for Queens Residents After Trump's Joint Address to Congress 

On Wednesday, I hosted a telephone town hall following President Trump’s first Joint Address to Congress of his second term. During what turned into a political rally event for his extreme MAGA followers, Trump outlined his agenda to Americans – full of misleading information and outright lies. Sadly, during his speech, Trump did not explain how his administration plans to lower costs for the American people, a point he promised to do often on the campaign trail. Instead, he bragged about Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is working overtime to layoff federal employees and target entitlement benefits for hardworking families.

Please listen to the audio from my town hall here, where I discuss all that and more.

Rep. Meeks Talks to NY1 on Democrats' Opposition to the Trump Administration

I spoke to Spectrum News NY1 ahead of Trump’s Joint Address on Tuesday night. Democrats are fighting relentlessly to protect vital services such as Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP benefits from being cut by Congressional Republicans. Leader Hakeem Jeffries is leading the charge as Republicans face immense pressure to make drastic cuts to these programs in order to fund massive tax breaks for Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies.
