Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 155
This is a bit haphazard. I can’t guarantee everything will be accurate when you’re reading it, but that’s what happens on a day when things change instantaneously.
Regardless, these are some of our fighters!
Rep Delia Ramirez (IL-03)
Has today is Democratic Daily Download which was posted immediately after the betrayal bill went back to the house. She breaks down what’s in the bill and how it will affect everyone.

DNC ( )
Put out today’s Daily Blueprint when the bill was still in the Senate. So a lot of what Hannah says is out of date already. But what isn’t is her going through how are democratic senators were fighting. They did not stop for one second.
Rep Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03)
Is holding a Read-In for Our Future. Dem members of Congress and every day Americans who are in DC and care are in the Capitol right now reading the Betrayal Bill out loud.
You can watch on YouTube on IG or on Twitter.
Below is from when they were outside, but then thunderstorms started 3 hours in
And they moved inside. As of when I’m posting this, this is still live and has been for 2.5 hours.

Rep Teresa Leger Fernandez (NM-03)
Posted this video when the house rules committee began immediately after the Senate passed the bill. This is where the bill will stay until it gets voted on either tomorrow or Thursday if Republicans get their way.

Rep Robin Kelly (IL-02)
Is one of the representatives re-introducing an amendment. She introduced the last time the bill was in the rules committee. I believe her amendment is about extending postpartum coverage from 60 days to a year.

Rep Angie Craig (MN-02)

Watch her full testimony below:

Rep Emily Randall (WA-06)

And finally…
Rep Mark Pocan (WI-02)
Had his flight back to DC canceled so he is driving to Chicago so he can get the first flight out tomorrow morning because there is no way he is missing this vote.

This is not a done deal our Dems are fighting like hell. They are using every single tool in their arsenal and we need to make sure we amplify that.
Do not obey in advance and say that this is over!
If you made it to the end of this post comment 📏 (ruler) because we need to amplify our dems fighting back in the rules committee
And if you watched or read any of the stories comment 🧾 (a receipt) because we have to keep driving home Republicans own words about how much they don’t care
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them, AND WE HAVE TO USE THEM RIGHT NOW!
📏 🧾
Alot of women in power!
