Mark Stoneman @patrickrhone I don’t think that “finally” is fair in this case considering the timing, which was designed to catch representatives in their home districts. It’s also a complex multifront war.
Patrick Rhone OK, I’ll grant that. And yet, we have my Senator saying things like this without following up with any sort of plan on what to do about it. And Schumer thinks we should be worried about the price of pizza.
So, yeah, I kind feel like they have no clue or plan or fire to do anything about it. They should have been all over network TV all weekend long screaming like they are in this video. But, more importantly, they should have a plan.
Mark Stoneman @patrickrhone Senate democrats are supposed to be doing something public at 3:45. Where Schumer is involved who knows, but the grants and now the destruction of USAID is a real constitutional crisis, and he better start acting like it.
The USAID people I mentioned referenced all the calls they got from their constituents.
