My member of Congress never holds town halls where they are convenient to attend. My district is so damn gerrymandered it starts in Dallas County and ends in Upshur county and a lot of open spaces in between. Meanwhile, he's at home in Terrell.
I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.
Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.
We need to do more than that. We don’t have time to play politics. We need a plan. And a leader. The Democratic Party and Republican Party as know them are both dead, but what will rise from the ashes?
I would think you’d be sitting with Obama and Biden and Harris and Chuck and ringing Mitch and some of his pals. What is happening isn’t happy opening at Town Hall level, it’s not a state problem. It’s Washington and the big hitters need to be batting it out of the park!
I am disappointed that a few come to social media to post the same stuff being posted by a hundred other users. Many aren’t saying anything, anywhere. They need to be organizing their base, telling ppl what they’re doing, & being vocal about the direction they intend to take to support ‘normalcy’.
I went to my reps town hall.and had a heck of a turn out.
And I noticed GOP Cliff Bentz and Rich Mccormick got their asses lit up by their constituents.
we need to fight Trump's rushed, indiscriminate, and illogical cuts to federal spending. and yes we agree folks should hold more town halls. that's one way to fight Trump, but like Jeffries said, we need to fight in the streets
"As America’s health crisis deepens, some experts are calling to “depoliticize” public health. But what we need isn’t less politics in health care — it’s a mass movement to transform our broken system into one that serves everyone."
I had an idea I'm not sure if this already happened as I can't find anything on it in the news by me, and not to speak for them but if we got former Pres Obama, Biden, Clinton, firmer VP Harris to go to the rallies, would the press attend and give it the attention it deserves
Beto - can we invite Bernie Sanders and or Elizabeth Warren to host a town hall in San Antonio since we can’t get Chip Roy to b-up and face his constituents. Indivisible is suggesting red states invite dems to come and talk to us. I’ll pitch in $100 for a ticket. Anyone else willing to help?
Read Ken Martin's "plan" for the Democratic response (noted at the top of this article). It's clear that the Democratic Party is incapable or unwilling to lead the Resistance. Beto you have the network, the skill set, and the leadership ability. Steal this plan & get it implemented ASAP!
Dems need a plan. Since they are incapable or unwilling to do one, I put this together for them. I've even suggested that Beto is the PERFECT executive director for this project!
Given what is happening in the country and around the world right now, we should have a chance to hear from them, share ideas with them, hold them accountable, work with them and remind them who it is they serve.
Republicans are acting like laws don't matter anymore. They are ripping up our Constitution. I don't want their ideas. I want them held accountable for treason, because that's what they're doing.
Some are probably afraid to do this because they don’t have a solid plan for how to confront the most corrupt administration in American history. That’s understandable — this is an unprecedented time and they are clearly scrambling to figure out a strategy.
This is 1 of my 4 part action plan. I've also posted to my Substack lots of communications advice for Democrats. Feel free to steal all of it Beto. I think all the key pieces are outside the paywall. If not, let me know. I'll give you a comp subscription. We can't wait a moment longer!
But if that’s the case, they should then be open to hearing from their constituents who might have some of the answers and who are very willing to work with them in the fight now in front of us.
If you want to call your member of Congress to encourage them to hold a live, in-person town hall this week, the number to the Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
If my repub members of congress held a live town hall, I’d be compelled to buy expensive cage-free eggs and pelt them with one every time they said something idiotic and untruthful. And frankly, there aren’t that many eggs in the stores.😏
Too little, too late?
It seems to be unbelievable what is happening. But it is not. You and your fellow Democratic politicians were not paying attention. The Nazis (aka Repubs & Elon) followed the hitler plan and until now it worked. We heard nothing from the Dems. Why?????
That’s unbelievable…
And I’m sure you’re busy but try to respond to some of us. It’s misleading that there is no real action and especially towards Europe and Zelenskyy. They need it asap!

They are simpering cowards.
Except for AOC and Jasmine Crockett.
Sounds like the perfect slogan to power the resistance!
Everybody is all talk and no action, which got us here in the first place...
