WH Slams Jeffries' Call to Fight Trump Agenda 'in the Streets'

The White House is demanding that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., apologize to Americans for saying Friday that his supporters plan to "fight" President Donald Trump's agenda "in the streets."

During a press conference in Brooklyn, Jeffries was asked about New York City's future under embattled Mayor Eric Adams. After saying he'll comment further on the mayorship "at the appropriate time," Jeffries focused on attacking Trump and the GOP in Congress.

"We're going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaires, donors, and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill. That's not acceptable," Jeffries said toward the end of the press conference.

"We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. And we're going to fight it in the streets."

The Trump White House used its "Rapid Response 47" account on X to blast Jeffries for his comments concerning violence in the streets.

"Will Minority Leader Jeffries apologize for this disgusting threat? Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?" the White House X account posted.

Jeffries uttered his fighting words at a press conference with Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette D. Clarke, D-N.Y., and representatives from Citymeals, early childhood development centers, and local violence interruption organizations to claim Republicans steals taxpayer money from hardworking Americans to reward billionaire donors and wealthy corporations.

Jeffries reportedly used similar words on Wednesday when House Democrats held an "emergency" Zoom meeting to discuss strategies in combating Trump's agenda.

Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., said Jeffries described opposing Trump and Republicans "as a legal fight, a legislative fight, and a street fight. And I couldn't put it better."

Making demands of the president? Fuck off! We the People voted for him to rein you aholes in, not the other way around.

Sen. Peters, Senate Dems Demand Trump Reinstate Fired IGs

Dozens of Senate Democrats sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Friday demanding that he reinstate the 18 inspectors general he fired in one night last week.

Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., led a group of 38 Democrat senators informing Trump that he "violated the law" by firing the IGs without "either the mandatory 30-day notice or a rationale for their removal."

"Because your actions violated the law, these Inspectors General should be reinstated immediately, until such time as you have provided in writing 'the substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons' for each of the affected Inspectors General and the 30-day notice period has expired," they wrote in the letter.

Trump fired the IGs on Jan. 24, saying the next day that "it's a very common thing to do," The Washington Post reported.

"I don't know them," he said. "But some people thought that some were unfair or some were not doing their job. It's a very standard thing to do."

Earlier this week, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., called on Trump to "immediately" provide the lawfully required substantive rationale and to share the names of each official who will serve in an interim capacity — and noted the law requires 30 days' notice before the government watchdogs can be fired.

"The law must be followed. The communication to Congress must contain more than just broad and vague statements," the senators wrote.

"While the President has the authority to remove Inspectors General from office, Congress has established clear requirements to ensure such removals are transparent and are not politicized," wrote the Democrat senators on Friday.

Whistleblower Records Show FBI Agent's Push for Trump Probe

Whistleblower records released this week show that "prolific anti-Trump FBI agent" Timothy Thibault allegedly broke protocol to push for the agency's initial investigations into President Donald Trump and the 2020 election.

The records, released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Thursday, show that Thibault allegedly wrote the language for the "Arctic Frost" investigation that eventually became former Special Counsel Jack Smith's case against Trump, reported The Federalist Thursday.

"Thibault took this action despite being unauthorized to open criminal investigations in his ASAC role," a joint press release from Grassley and Johnson stated. They also said the Justice Department and FBI had a "plot to pin Trump."

The records further revealed that Richard Pilger, an official in the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, reviewed and approved the Arctic Frost investigation, leading the DOJ to move forward with a criminal and grand jury investigation that became the Trump elector case.

Pilger was also included in a report from Grassley, who said he had "undermined the department's election-related efforts."

Thibault, a former FBI assistant special agent in charge (ASAC) was fired on charges of violating the Hatch Act after Grassley exposed his actions in a letter in 2022 to Christopher Wray, who was then the FBI director, and Merrick Garland, then the attorney general.

In the letter, Grassley said Thibault "likely violated several federal regulations and Department guidelines designed to prevent political bias from infecting FBI matters." He also accused Thibault of having "demonstrated a pattern of active public partisanship."

The letter outlined several instances of Thibault's bias against Trump, including that he reposted a Lincoln Project social media post and said that "Donald Trump is a psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man."

Grassley mentioned Thibault's emails during his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing for Kash Patel, the nominee for FBI director.

According to the emails released by Grassley and Johnson, Thibault sent "opening language" that turned into the elector case and sent an email to D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office prosecutor John Crabb, telling him that he had "a discussion with the case team, and we believe there to be predication to include former President of the United States Donald J. Trump as a predicated subject."

And when Trump and others were added as criminal subjects in the case, Thibault responded "Perfect" in another email.

Trump was included in the case based on a document with information on "liberal nonprofit American Oversight," according to whistleblowers' comments to Grassley in late 2022.

They said that Thibault and Pilger had later "removed or watered-down material connected to the aforementioned left-wing entities that existed in previous versions and recommended that a full investigation — not a preliminary investigation — be approved."

Gov. Newsom Served Recall Papers Following LA Fire Outrage

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/gavin-newsom-recall-wildfires/2025/01/31/id/1197397/

California Gov. Gavin Newsom was served recall papers this week as outrage persisted over his handling of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

The group Saving California, led by California resident Randy Economy, delivered the petition co-signed by 105 people, exceeding the 50 signatures required to initiate recall efforts against Newsom. The governor must recognize the petition by Feb. 7, after which California's secretary of state must recognize the measure.

To qualify for the November ballot, organizers will need to gather between 1.2 million and 1.3 million signatures over 160 days.

“Under the reign of Governor Newsom, living in California has become impossible for average people through years of poor policies which have increased the costs of living, increased crime, increased drug use and homelessness, increased the cost of burden on small businesses and communities, while decreasing our professional standards, education standards, the disappearance of billions of taxpayers’ dollars to failed pet programs, and our public services,” Economy said to the Washington Examiner earlier this month.

“While our state was burning, Newsom focused on ‘trump-proofing’ California — spending taxpayer dollars on unnecessary political efforts instead of tackling the urgent wildfire disaster. It’s time for leadership that puts Californians first,” the group posted on Instagram.

In 2021, California voters opted not to recall Newsom when he faced criticism over his handling of the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020-2021. Newsom easily defeated the top replacement candidate, talk show host Larry Elder, capturing over 60% of the vote.

Newsom’s office dismissed the group’s effort with a statement to the outlet earlier this week saying, “Readers still should have the context that the same group of far-right activists have launched 6 different recall attempts against the governor since he’s taken office, each of which have failed spectacularly. Even Republican Party leaders have criticized these repeated attempts as a brazen campaign finance ‘grift,’ and the recall organizers have been sued by their own donors for pocketing funds raised previously.”

Since the fires first erupted on Jan 7, they have consumed more than 40,000 acres, destroyed over 12,000 structures, killed at least 29 people and forced hundreds of thousands to evacuate their homes. Early estimates have put the damages at more than $250 billion.
