D Screams into a pillow
A: Maybe I should just….go
D: No wait, I’m done.
A: So what had you doing….that?
D: Everything
A: Everything is not bad.
D: Yes, it is.
A: Okay, whatever, do you want me here or not?
D: yes, yes I do, maybe you have something to make me feel less [screams into pillow again]
A: How about the new People’s Environmental Justice Caucus
D: That sounds promising…
A: Yeah, Rep Grijalva explained it at her town hall, watch
D: Wait, so the focus is on solutions from local communities?
A: That’s exactly what it is. They will also create a new version of the Environmental Justice for All Act, that Rep Grijalva’s dad championed.
D: Right, she’s legacy.
A: I mean, yeah, but do you think she hasn’t done a good job?
D: No, I mean even just this sounds pretty cool.
A: Exactly.
D: Okay, you got more?
A: Yeah, you know how the House is on recess?
D: What the fuck? They’re not working at all?
A: I mean, if you’re a Republican, probably not, but that’s not what recess means.
D: It’s not?
A: No, it means In District Work Period. Half their job is in DC, but the other half is in their district with constituents. This is that half.
D: Oh.
A: That said, Seth Magaziner, as well as several other Dems are reminding their audience that sometimes being in DC is more important, and considering we’re in the middle of a war, now is definitely one of those times, and Speaker Johnson is entirely to blame for why they’re not. Watch
D: Well that just makes me angry.
A: Yeah, that’s kinda the point.
D: And it clearly shows who to blame.
A: Mhm
D: Wait, don’t Dems have a war power resolution or something? Why couldn’t they just do that before recess?
A: Because we are in the minority and don’t get to chose what comes to the floor.
D: Oh, right, that.
A: Yeah….
D: Okay, you got more?
A: Of course.
D: Get on with it.
A: Wow, bossy much? Josh Harder introduced the Momnibus, a package of bills about maternal mortality, which focuses especially on women of color, and it matters, especially in his district. Here watch
D: Wait, Isn’t he….moderate?
A: Not on this. Just keep watching
D: Doctors are leaving so many areas, nice to see someone try to reverse that.
A: yeah, the healthcare system is really messed up, and just a reminder, Republicans are making it worse.
D: Yes, yes I do in fact remember that. Does the bill do anything else?
A: It’s about helping underserved families before during and after childbirth, making sure they have the support needed to, not just stay alive but raise a child safely and with support
D: That sounds really good. Okay, anything else?
A: I just want to bring attention to the Save Act
D: Why?
A: Because Chris Coons did a good video explaining something that happened last week. Watch
D: Okay…what’s your point?
A: Republicans tried to do something sneakily, and Dems didn’t let them.
D: Right…
A: the pervailing thought is that Dems will drop the ball cause they “always cave” but that’s not happening here. Republicans aren’t getting away with this one.
D: I guess that’s good.
A: Yeah, I’d say so.
D: I still wanna scream into a pillow
A: That’s fine, so do I, but maybe your screaming can be focused on the Republicans this time, yeah?
A: And that’s today’s Doomerella Gets Schooled. remember to subscribe and engage with the video to make sure more people see these stories! I know it doesn’t always feel like it, but our Dems ARE fighting back. And the best way you can help them is by using your voice, cause your voice is your superpower, but only when you use it!
