Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 178
Today, the DNC is spotlighting the Trump Texas Takeover, Rep Grace Meng (NY-06) and Rep AOC (NY-14) fought like hell to make a New York post office accessible, and so much more!
So let’s get into it
Repping the Rep: Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Has today’s Democratic Daily Download and it’s all about the TrumpTax Law and how it does absolutely nothing to help Americans.
My favorite quote is “It’s an extension of the big ugly lies. They’ve been telling the American people.”

Rep George Latimer (NY-16)
Embodies Stephen Colbert on the House floor by doing a Meanwhile, all about Paramount’s lies surrounding Colbert’s cancelation. I don’t know why this post isn’t viral.

Rep Grace Meng (NY-06) and Rep AOC (NY-14)
Worked with Council Member Shekar Krishnan and the US Access Board to finally make the Jackson Heights Post Office accessible. This has been a long time coming; they’ve been fighting for it for years, and today the ramp was finally opened.
Meng said:
Nonetheless, I’m grateful that we’re finally here and so excited to see this needed addition to our Post Office. But it shouldn’t have taken this long, and it would have been nice if they just did the right thing without being forced into it after years of pushing. It should not have taken many years, multiple members of Congress, multiple council members pleading with the Postal Service just to get a simple ramp.
Local fights like this are often the biggest wins of them all.

Shared the QNS article about making the Jackson Heights Post Office accessible. Many of our older buildings need this remodeling.
