There Are Women and Children There??
Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 204
If you don’t see what Democrats are doing, the question is not “WHY AREN’T THEY DOING ANYTHING” but rather “WHY IS IT NOT BEING SHOW TO ME?” Our elected officials are being suppressed every single day, and the only way to change the is to start with that reality and go from there.
So here are some things you probably missed.
Repping the Rep: Luz Rivas (CA-29)
Joined Gov Gavin Newsom, and many of her colleagues in the House Dem CA delegation, last week, to support the November ballot measure pausing the state’s independent redistricting till the next census.
It’s good to see all hands on deck from our Dems for this one.
Rep Veronica Escobar (TX-16)
became the first member of congress to conduct oversight at the new Fort Bliss Ice detention center. And she pretty much debunks every single thing that Republicans have been touting about the facility.
Sen John Cornyn, who hasn’t even been inside the facility said the building is hard topped, Escobar says it’s just a tent. Cornyn says it only houses the worst criminals, Escobar says it includes women and children. You get the picture.
I’m so glad she was the first person who got a tour and that she gave such a detailed breakdown of what happened.
You can watch her entire press conference below.

DNC ( )
Does have daily messaging, and it’s called the Daily Blueprint, and if you didn’t know that, well, see the intro to this post.
Today, host Hannah Muldavin interviewed Planned Parenthood President, Alexis McGill Johnson all about how Trump is hurting families, both current and future, including his latest push against IVF.
Most episodes don’t include interviews, but the ones that do always end up being a gut punch.
Rep Eric Sorenson (IL-17)
Posted a video reacting to the head of FEMA making it very clear he knows nothing about hurricane season. And he knows better than most, he is the only meteorologist in congress.
Finally,
Sen Andy Kim (NJ)
Is on a trip in South Korea and Japan with Sen Tammy Duckworth (IL), to make sure our relationship with our closest Asian allies stays intact, especially before President Lee meets with Trump next week.
I know foreign policy is complicated, but it really is incredibly important. And keeping these relationships alive is just as important as keeping Trump from destroying us here at home.

So you see, Dems are doing the work, you’re just not seeing it, which, I get, it takes some work to see, cause the algorithm wants us to stay mad.
If you made it to the end of this post, comment 🇰🇷 (the South Korean) flag, cause keeping our allies close is very important.
And if you watched or read any of these stories, comment 🌀(hurricane) because the head of FEMA needs to know when hurricane seasons is.
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!
🌀Thank you for writing a daily detailed memo that gives us hope and positive news!
