Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 134
DT is still doing everything in his power to create civil unrest in Los Angeles and our electreds are still pushing back on this and so many other ways he’s trying to take control.
Here are some of today’s fighters!
Repping the Rep Eric Sorensen (IL-17)
Was on CNN discussing his “Weather Workforce Improvement Act” which I posted about yesterday. He explains the importance of the national weather service and he knows better than anyone because he is the only meteorologist in Congress.
Rep Rick Larsen (WA-02)
Has today’s Democratic Daily Download. He spoke about the potential cuts to Medicaid and specifically how many of his constituents are on Medicaid going county by county in his district.
I do hope at some point this week DT taking control of the California National Guard is a download, but we also can’t stop talking about that horrific bill.

PA Reps Madeline Dean (PA-04), Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06)
Will be holding a telephone town hall with People’s Cabinet Social Security Secretary, Martin O’Malley on Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 Eastern. I don’t believe you have to be one of their constituents to attend. You can RSVP and submit questions here.

Rep Chellie Pingree (ME-01)
Is sounding in the alarm about the $9 billion rescission bill currently in the House to defund NPR and PBS that will be voted on this week. I knew the bill existed obviously but I had no idea it was happening this week.
And if she is your rep she fill out this form to share your story as to why public broadcasting is imporant in your life.

Rep Sydney Kamlager Dove (CA-37)
Asked Rep Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) is ICE raiding neighborhoods for no reason legal? This interview happened last week, when the biggest ICE concern was in Massachusetts. Oh how quickly things change. Even though it is still a massive concern in MA. Of course the answer is no this shit is not legal.

Reps Adriano Espillat (NY-13) and Nydia Velasquez (NY-07)
Attempted to conduct an unannounced oversight visit at the federal Plaza ICE facility in New York. You know how this story ends by now, they were denied entry. And following this BS, they held a press conference outside. I am so proud of our Dems for continuing to show up anyway.
This video shows their whole attempt and the subsequent press conference.

Rep Jimmy Gomez (CA-34)
Was at the roybal ICE facility in DTLA with Reps Luz Rivas (CA-29), Lou Correa (CA-46) and Norma Torres (CA-35) on Saturday. Today he went back alone and he was denied entry again. I can tell you this without a shadow of a doubt, he will be back.
I also wanna remind you if there are votes that he’s missed this is what he was doing.

The DNC ( The Blue Print )
Have heard you and are listening. Today they started their DAILY news briefing, The Blue Print. It is an old school news report hosted by Hannah Muldavin and it breaks down everything that happened the day before.
Is it perfect, no, of course, not. It literally started today. but I could not be more excited. And until it catches on, yes it will be linked in every single episode of this series.

And finally….
Sen Ed Markey (MA)
Is joining with six nonprofits and unions for a budget reconciliation teach in series. It starts on Wednesday at 5 PM Eastern. And you can sign up here. If you have any confusion about the budget, which you should because it’s over 1000 pages, so you can’t possibly know everything, sign up and attend if you can.

And those are just a small fraction of today’s fighters.

❄️🚃 I really like the Dems daily news briefing. I will try to remember to watch it every day and will definitely let other people know about it!
