Today was a day full of panic, but it was also a day that really showcased the best of our Dems.
EVERY SINGLE ONE spoke up today. Some made videos, some made statements or sent letter and some posted on social media. No matter what level of government they are in, we really heard from Democrats today.
That said, I do have some favorites

Chuck Schumer
In a press conference this morning, he said
It's illegal. It's unconstitutional. I spoke to my Attorney General this morning. She's head of the State Attorneys General Association. They’re going to court right away on this horror.
We’ve been hearing that 23 Dem AG have filed a lawsuit together, it seems like Schumer spearheaded that in some way.
Senate Dems
Yes, that’s right, Senate Dems as a whole. Republicans tried to pass a bill that would have sanctioned the ICC for charging Netanyahu and Dems successfully filibustered it. All while everything else going on today happened, because to Republicans this was just a normal day, as horrifying as that is.

For those of you who really admire AOC because she doesn’t mince words, you’ll love this one. It seems like he only posted this on Twitter. I hope he posts it elsewhere too.
So no, Dems are not sitting back and doing nothing. At this point, I think that messaging has gone from misinformation to disinformation, and frankly, I think that’s the message we have to spread when we see it.
This list isn’t even exhaustive, it’s just what I saw and saved.

Thank you for this. A lot of people are screaming that Democrats are doing nothing. They are doing most if not all that they can given the reality.
SO important. Thank you!
