Daily Dems Doing the Work, Making Noise and Fighting Back Day 169
I’m trying something new on YouTube (which yes, I do post a video version of this all over, including YouTube.) I don’t get much traction so I’m gonna stop using the title of the series as the title of the video. What would a short title be that you would give today’s roundup that would instantly grab your attention?
Let me know in the comments!
Repping the Rep: Jimmy Panetta (CA-19)
Met with former federal workers this past week to hear about DOGI and the chaos it created.
These meetings help introduce the best legislation and learn about things they should be giving attention to that they might not be yet.
Rep Morgan McGarvey (KY-03)
is continuing to sound the alarm about the elimination of federal funding for NPR in terms of disaster preparedness. The rescission package is in the Senate, and a procedural vote is slated for tomorrow. This is the final step before this funding is lost. Please call your senators!

Reps Nydia Velázquez (NY-07) and Adriano Espaillat (NY-13)
Were denied entry to the federal Plaza ICE facility, again. I’m so glad they keep going back and aren’t giving up. The New York Immigration Coalition has a bit more info.

Rep Tim Kennedy (NY-26)
Has today’s Democratic Daily Download and he was at Schofield Residence Nursing Facility in Buffalo, New York, holding a press conference with members of the healthcare industry.
And he’s not just a member of Congress, he’s an occupational therapist, so this fight affects him in many ways.
In this video’s calling on Republicans to reverse course with the big ugly law, which, they could do anytime if they cared about their constituents at all. Use the #CancelTheCuts all over social media, it’s a compelling tag.

Rep Julie Johnson (TX-32)
went on ABC News to discuss the god-awful flood preparedness from the Republican Texas politicians. She goes through all the ways in which the loss of life could’ve been prevented.

DNC ( ) Chair Ken Martin
Passed a major milestone. With Rep Sara Jacob’s (CA-51) town hall in Utah, they have now had a People’s Town Halls in every single state with 138 total. And that’s what today’s #DailyBlueprint was all about!
So when you hear someone say the DNC isn’t doing the work, send them this video!
And you can learn even more about this milestone in the Daily Blueprint!

And finally…
(VT)
Wrote an op-ed for Fox News about how FEMA does need to be reformed which is why four days ago, he introduced the Disaster Assistance Improvement, and Decentralization Act (Disaster AID Act)
If only Republicans actually wanted to improve FEMA.
So remember, there are so many fighters. These are just seven stories I think are worth knowing that you might not know.
If you made it to the end, comment 🫏 (a donkey) cause I’m so proud of the DNC for their incredible people’s town halls campaign!
And if you watched or read any of these stories, comment with what you learned and 🧊 (an ice cube,) cause our Dems are demanding to be let in and won’t stop showing up!
Our voices are our superpower, but only when we use them!

I just returned from our weekly rush-hour protest at a busy 4-way intersection here in Oakland CA. There were twice as many of us as usual (40-50 total)... several signs against ICE.
🫏 our weekly protest is growing and I keep recommending your newsletter. Thanks for all you do!
