Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 41
Alright, here’s the deal, I’m a disabled person, my most debilitating thing is probably POTS, but I have many others too. I’ve been EXTREMELY lucky since starting this series that I haven’t had any truly awful days, but today seems to be one. So I’m delegating.
Please use the comment section to share today’s fighters. I don’t want a single day to go by that we don’t amplify them, I just can’t do it today.
You can find starterpacks for all our electeds in my Blue Sky, and my pinned post on Threads also includes all the federal electeds there as well.
Don’t feel like if it’s not the perfect story you shouldn't include it, include it all! Big and small.
You got this! I’m excited to see what you come up with.
You can see what people are including on Threads and Blue Sky as well!
Minority House leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a Dear Colleague letter that threw a gauntlet down on the continuing resolution that the GOP-led Congress must pass next week to keep the government open:
“Republicans have decided to introduce a partisan continuing resolution that threatens to cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance and veterans benefits through the end of the current fiscal year. That is not acceptable.
“House Democrats would enthusiastically support a bill that protects Social Security, Medicare, veterans health and Medicaid, but Republicans have chosen to put them on the chopping block to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
“We cannot back a measure that rips away life-sustaining healthcare and retirement benefits from everyday Americans as part of the Republican scheme to pay for massive tax cuts for their wealthy donors like Elon Musk. Medicaid is our redline.”
Let the GOP try to pass this on their own. They must own whatever debacle results, either from its failure to pass or if they somehow ram it through.
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) hosted a Town Hall to an overflowing crowd (they needed another room) in Malden.
