Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 173
Today
have some things you might not know about DT‘s Ugly Tax Law, Rep Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) was live outside the Los Angeles ICE facility, and so much more!Before we get started, one quick note, this post is too long for email, not because there’s a lot of words, but because there’s a lot of previews. So, if you want to make sure to read the whole thing, I highly recommend clicking the title and reading it on the website or app.
With that out of the way, let’s get started!
Repping the Rep: Jimmy Panetta (CA-19)
Is now on Threads! And yes, I did have a hand in that. Look out for more new platforms from him in the coming week. This is the power of this segment.
Today he posted an op-ed by Dan Haifley in Lookout Santa Cruz all about how DT’s budget for 2026 would cut 40% of the budget for Marine sanctuaries like Monterey Bay.
I love how Rep Panetta shines the light on these local issues and I hope you enjoy learning about him over the past week!
Today’s
DNC’s ( )
Daily Blueprint focused on the Republican attempt to redistrict Texas. Chair Ken Martin is currently in Texas, working with Texas Democratic legislators on a game plan.
The second half of today’s messaging was about Emile Bove and Jeanine Pirro’s judicial nominations and Dems on the Judiciary Committee walking out.
If you didn’t know, you can also find the Blueprint on Substack!
While meeting with the Texas Dems, Chair Martin interviewed House Minority Leader Gene Wu all about the “Republican plot to cheat Texas voters”

The DNC also put out a video all about DT and Epstein,
And it’s a perfect time to remind you that they have an Epstein bot on Twitter, which you can also read on Nitter, and Truth Social where you can keep track of Republicans refusal to hold anyone accountable ever.
Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta explained the bot further during our interview

Rep Mark Pocan (WI-02)
Has a new episode out of his podcast “With Liberty and Justice for Some.” This week, he interviewed Fran Hutchins, executive director of Equality Federation. They discussed the anti-equality movement and how we fight back against it.

Rep Jimmy Gomez (CA-34)
went live outside Roybal Federal Building in Downtown LA, where he was back again to try and conduct an oversight visit. He spoke with activists, Katie and Eddie, who have been out there every single day to let our immigrants know that they have support and are not alone.
Put together a list of things Republicans hid in DT‘s Ugly Tax Law. Some of these I heard about, and some of them I hadn’t. Like, did you know that it includes a provision to move the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian to Houston, which would cost between $85m and $300m?
Just one of 12 gems they break down. Six are in the video,
And those six plus six more are in Rep Andrea Salinas’ (OR-06) Substack post.

Sen Patty Murray (WA)
Univeristy of Washingon Medicine and Harborview Medical CEOs sound the alarm over the harm that DT’s Ugly Tax Law will cause for the entire Northwest, including red states like Alaska, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming

And finally…
Rep Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)
Has today’s Democratic Daily Download, which is why this is the last story. Rep Stansbury is very popular, so people watched. And it’s an important one. It’s myth-busting the Republican claim that DT’s Ugly Tax Law will release our energy security.
This is the daily messaging everyone craves, and it proves, that the lack of views has nothing to do with a lack of visibility; it’s just that the videos include reps they don’t know, so they don’t watch.

So I hope you learned something new, or even better yet, you did know all this already, and you’re ahead of the game.
if you made it to the end of this post, comment with 🗃️(a file box) cause the one on Epstein is clearly hiding.
And if you watched or read any of these stories, comment with 🦭(a seal) cause our next fight is the cuts in the 2026 budget.
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!
