Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 176
Today, Rep Josh Riley’s (NY-19) allyship will make you cry, Rep. Kelly Morrison explains TrumpCare, and so much more, so let’s get into it!
Repping the Rep: Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Offered an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act during the Armed Services Committee markup that would ban nepotism at the Department of Defense, which apparently needs to be spelled out. She also used it as an opportunity to bring up SignalGate.
I shared the video of the full markup to start when she asks this question, but I implore you to scroll around a bit and find her other comments, cause she in on fire this entire markup. Her comments about DEI are *chef’s kiss*

Sen Jeff Merkley (OR)
Ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee released a statement, after learning that the Congressional Budget Office reports that the TrumpTax law will add $3.4 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years. He said:
This law is devastating for our national debt and our country’s economic forecast. Congressional Republicans, who call themselves fiscally conservative, rammed a bill through Congress on a partisan vote to drive our country further into debt
This is what we need to keep hammering home. Republicans always talk about being fiscally conservative, but this is anything but.
Today’s
DNC ( The Blue Print )
Daily Blueprint is all about the ways DT has destroyed this country in six months because today is the sixth month anniversary of this god-awful administration.
And they posted some of these failures all over social media as well

Rep Becca Balint (VT)
Has today’s Democratic Daily Download and this is the video you’ve been waiting for. She focuses on how the TrumpTax law will pump $150 billion into ICE.
I love how there’s been a unified message, but each member is also going into deeper detail about a certain part of the law, cause there’s just so many horrific aspects.

Rep Josh Riley (NY-19)
Attended the Chenango Pride Fest, and he said: “As long as I have the privilege of representing you in Congress, you will never ever fight alone” 😭
He also honored Chenango County Pride Alliance with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition
Rep. Kelly Morrison (MN-03)
Explains the harm of TrumpCare, which is what we should call it 100% of the time. I mean, they called the ACA ObamaCare, which absolutely stuck, so now it’s our turn. Let’s make sure people don’t forget who created this abomination.

And finally…
Rep Jason Crow (CO-06)
Attempted to conduct an oversight visit at the Aurora ICE facility, but he was denied, so he stood outside and read the law that proves that his being denied is absolutely illegal.

So those are just a few of today’s fighters! I hope you learned about someone new!
If you made it to the end of this post, comment 🧑🧑🧒🧒 (a family) because nepotism should not be allowed in government hiring practices.
If you watched or read any of the stories, comment with 💸(debt) because that’s money we owe, and it’s just gonna keep flying higher and higher and higher thanks to TrumpTaxes.
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!
