@beyer.house.gov Your constituents want accountability for these war crimes. Don't let Jeffries lead you into cowardice!
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

In other words, in 2025, Elon killed 600,000 people and was paid a trillion dollars. Which pretty much sums up where we are in this country right now.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

@kaine.senate.gov @beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social Why aren't you and other Dems holding press conferences in front of this destruction? We care that this is happening, and we're angry-- so be very public to make clear you are, too!
Where exactly are the Democrats on this? There is going to be no better symbolism of Trump's utter vandalism and corruption of American government and democracy.
The White House heard the complaints
Dismissed them as “manufactured outrage”
And kept demolishing the East Wing on Tuesday

Trump is doing what has been the unthinkable in the United States of America. Demcrats still won't stand up to him with even daily fact checking press briefings. WHAT will it take for them to even stand up to Schumer and demand he step out of the way and facilitate the briefings?

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Asked what he would do to stop the deployment of federal troops to Portland, Chuck Schumer replies: "I'd hope some of them [Republicans] would join us in legislation to prevent it from happening."
"I know they're loyal to Trump and does whatever he wants but this is so far stepping over the line"

Just got sent another Demo consultant's memo on how to win the shutdown. Spoiler alert: they want Democrats to focus on "costs" and "healthcare" and talk about how they're for smart budgets. Absolutely nothing about Trump being out of control.
The consultant class should be shot out of a cannon.
