Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.
Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.
I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.
Get local media there.
Make it real.

He said he would round up immigrants, said he would cut taxes, said he’d overthrow the constitutional order, said he’d go after political opponents using the power of the state. But the most aggressive austerity cuts in decades? Not a trace.

The GOP passed a budget resolution last night that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Holy crap. I just listened to the bull that Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing. Democrats are lying?But when pressed about cutting Medicaid he does some interesting tap dancing about how it will be impacted. He’s so smug, he’s going to get those deadbeat elderly disabled people and get them to work!🤦🏼♀️

I have spent my adult life writing about coups, juntas, and dictatorships for a living. When the government controls media coverage, it is called "state-controlled media" and your government is an authoritarian regime.

The decision departs from a century of tradition in which a pool of independent news organizations go where the chief executive does and holds him accountable on behalf of regular Americans.
