Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 37
Today is one of those days that I am completely overwhelmed, and I could not even attempt to cover everything. this isn’t even a sampling of what happened today and I’m afraid if I don’t post everything people won’t see it
I posted a lot of it here and on Threads and Blue Sky, so please amplify what I did post through out the day and lift all of those people up, they very much deserve it!
I’m only including a very small amount of things from before the address.
Dem Women’s Caucus
Held an incredible press conference. You want fire, this had fire.
Mass House and Senate Delegation
Also held an amazing press conference
Senate Judiciary Dems
Is filing a misconduct complaint with the New York bar against Emil Bove. This is the first step of any potential disbarment.
Chief congressional correspondent for CNN Manu Raju explained why the way the Democratic chose to protest the joint address was so powerful even if you didn’t quite understand it
DNC Chair Ken Martin
Literally told Elon Musk to go to hell when speaking with Meidas Touch
Reps Maxine Dextor (OR-03), Sydney Kamlager Dove (CA-37) and Andrea Salinas (OR-06)
took off their jackets as they walked out of the chamber so that the backs of their shirt were facing DT.
Rep Maxwell Frost (FL-10)
Did the same, but you probably knew that already
And they were joined by Reps Nikema Williams (GA-05), Melanie Stansbury (NM-01), Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), and LaMonica McIver (NJ-10)
Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)
Speaking of Stansbury, she held up a sign behind DT as he was walking in that a Republican Member Of Congress ripped from her hand
It’s late and I need to go to sleep soon, so I can’t name all the reps who walked out. Here are some of the other names I know of, please look at their social media, cause most of them included incredible posts with their walkout:
Reps Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), Veronica Escobar (TX-16), Yvette Clarke (NY-09), Judy Chu (CA-28), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Dave Min (CA-47), Mark Pocan (WA-02), Zoe Lofgren (CA-18), Jamie Rasin (MD-08), Jared Huffman (CA-02), Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Lateefa Simon (CA-12), Joaquin Castro (TX-20), Lloyd Doggett (TX-37)
Sens Chris Van Hollen (MD) and Bernie Sanders (VT)
And I also wanna mention that
Maxwell Frost said that those who didn’t attend, had their seats filled by Republican staff members, but if they walked out in the middle of the speech, there was no one left to fill their seat
Yvette Clarke said that DT was visibly furious that they were not heckling him. He wanted them to heckle him so he could have some thing to go off of and they refuse to give him that.
And finally
Sen Elissa Slotkin (MI)
Gave one of if not the best rebuttals I have ever seen. it was short, but incredibly powerful and could honestly change hearts and minds and I hope you were listening, especially to the end because the end is where she told us what we need to do
So this isn’t near complete and please comment with your favorite moment from our Democrats today.
For the record, for anyone who comments Democrats do something, or anything connected to that, I will be deleting your comment because we need to unify and we need to lift up their voices.
They did something incredible today and if you can’t recognize that, you are requiring perfection, and perfection is the enemy of progress.
Our voices are super, but only when we use them!




Thus is awesome! I’m glad they did this!
Thank you for this!
