Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 152
Today sucked for everyone in more ways and I can count. I hope this helps make your day suck a little less.
Here are some of our incredible fighters in Congress!
Repping the Rep Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07)
Posted her statement about the awful Planned Parenthood decision.
This is the last day of her week. I hope you enjoyed getting to learn more about how she’s fighting!

Rep Wesley Bell (MO-01) joined Reps Lucy McBath (GA-07)
For one of her gun violence awareness month videos. He talks about how he has helped victims of gun violence throughout his career as a DA, prosecutor, and public defender, so this is an issue that matters a lot to him.
Sen Mazie Hirono (HI)
Held “Scamming Our Schools: Robbing Our Student’s Futures to Line Their Pockets” People’s Hearing earlier this week. It’s all about the importance of public schools and the danger of voucher programs and how the brutal bill will effect both.
Rep Chuy Garcia (IL-04)
Has today’s Democratic Daily Download. And he is raising the alarm about how the money saved from ripping away, our healthcare in that brutal bill will go to funding the kidnappings.
There’s just so much in the bill, I learn something new every day and I hate it.
Here’s more info on what it will do to immigration.

Rep George Whitesides (CA-27)
Former chief of staff at NASA (something I’m sure I knew at some point but had totally forgotten), breaks down exactly what it means that the department of defense cut off satellite data for hurricane forecasting

Rep Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)
Immediately went to protest at the Supreme Court when she heard about the Planned Parenthood decision yesterday.
I post this mostly as a reminder that our Dems typically have two different accounts and if you’re only following one of them, you’re only seeing half of their fighting. This post is only on her campaign accounts.
Rep Mike Levin (CA-47)
Let Republicans have it about not allowing the bronze plaque, honoring the Capitol police for their actions on Jan 6. And directly quoted their hypocrisy.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08)
Will not mince words about Andy Ogles, calling him a fraud directly, after he called for Zohran Mamdani to be deported. I see more than one People’s Hearing against him in the very near future. And who knows, the Ethics Committee, with is split evenly between Dems and Republicans, was already investigating him, so here’s hoping that will start up again.
So those are just some of our fighters. I hope this made your day better.
If you made it to the end of this post comment with 👚(pink shirt) and support of @plannedparenthood
And if you watched or read any of the stories comment with what you learned and 🛰️ (a satellite) cause it turns out we kinda need them so people can survive hurricanes. Who knew?
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!

Thank you, Ariella, for hanging in there! Yes, today sucked overall but with great folks like you and these wonderful Dems you write about, WE WILL GET THROUGH! And, I LOVE Ms. Stansbury -- she is a soul sister.
