Washington DC - Top congressional Democrats recently held a private meeting to discuss their plan of attack against President Donald Trump's extreme agenda.

According to The Hill, the House Democratic Caucus held an "emergency" meeting – which was conducted via Zoom due to Congress being in recess – during which House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told colleagues to "pursue all avenues of opposition – and take that fight to the streets."

"I don't want to speak for the leader, but it was a broad call for action – and a vigorous one," said Virginia Representative Gerry Connolly.

The meeting was called after the Trump administration announced a temporary freeze on all federal spending so they could review them to determine whether they fall in line with his agenda.

While Republicans currently control the House and Senate, Democrats will now focus on informing voters of "the real-world effects of Trump's actions" and overtaking the GOP's historically slim majority in the House next year.

"House Democrats are now fully engaged. The bell has rung. I think we see this for the constitutional test that it is, and we're going to be aggressively pushing back," explained California Rep. Jared Huffman.

"Leader Jeffries described it as a legal fight, a legislative fight, and a street fight. And I couldn't put it better," Huffman said, adding the party plans to "use whatever bully pulpits we have to awaken the American people to what's going on here."
