@salinas.house.gov I have asked you several times to please listen to the idea @cherijacobus.bsky.social & @garygifford.bsky.social have both posed to have Daily Dem press briefings fact checked & accurate from the capital. We like Pete Buttigieg as he can field questions. Give the Dems a voice! - ThreadSky

This sounds like a good idea

cohikr86.bsky.social•4 days ago

If only! With few exceptions democratic politicians have their hands on full wring cycle and heads in the ground trying to remember the way they were before they lost their spines

hollywoodhi.bsky.social•5 days ago

Xlnt idea.

paulalj.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think this is way overdue.

man-o-man.bsky.social•4 days ago

With few exceptions, the Democrats are missing in action or have joined the other side. Disappointing but maybe it will result in the removal of the conservatives from the party.

It is frustrating as they all seem to think sending us hundreds of useless texts and emails begging for money somehow works. It does not. @cherijacobus.bsky.social outlines a plan to create a strong Dem voice in response to the BS DT spews. Please pass her info on to your rep/senators.

Okay so I don't think it matters AT ALL who is making the reply. In fact, we SHOULD be giving air time and recognition to New Faces because we need to grow our future. BUT... we need an outlet that's easy for real people to access. Like a PBS. A regular spot on local news?

jamapeggy.bsky.social•4 days ago

It needs to be free and a fact-checked reliable briefing. It needs to be someone speaking who can field questions. Pete can and also Beto O’Rourk. I would like to see AOC & Jasmine Crocket fill in sometimes. It just has to be credible to take hold.

Yes! What are we waiting for?

jamapeggy.bsky.social•4 days ago

We are waiting for Dems in congress as they would need to be the ones setting this up, providing an office, sharing a small portion of their office allotment, & giving the green light to Cheri Jacob to do the setup task. She says she could do it in a few days & has experience. No resp from congress.

Thank You! Forwarded idea to my US reps for my state and asked that they could rotate 1 Senator/1 House Dems per day fact checked and following White House lie fest and said, ".... rather than let Nat'l media decide what to cover!" Pete would be the best speaker in any case.

jamapeggy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Absolutely. The Dems currently let the billionaire-owned media who support DT interpret what DT says. The disjointed & unheard Dems continue to fill our text & email with begs for $$ & no clear message. I want fact-checked news from the Dems. At first it will only be us & foreign countries listening

fedupcrap.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is an excellent idea! Should follow Whitehouse lie fest press briefings?

jamapeggy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes. The Dem press briefing should address crazy things being said by DT & in his press briefings. It needs to be done by someone who can field questions on the fly. Investigative journalists & fact-checkers will make this briefing credible. An extra office in Capital can be set up. Dems can do this

I hope everyone who sees this will repost and demand the Dems get on it. Also, I second the Buttigieg suggestion.

In solidarity I’m asking for the help of all hackers to place the message of “Lock them up”, in as many places where Trump’s name or any of his regimes names are posted for whatever purpose in protest of their policies. We need a digital voice in great numbers now!

frmrrepublican.bsky.social•4 days ago

About time we had a democrat rebut the barrage of BS coming out of the white house ail. Invite the AP

House Dem leadership already has weekly press conferences on Wednesdays. They had one after Trump’s stupid liberation day bloviating.
MSM doesn’t cover them, so you have to search YouTube to find them.

iampatricialong.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe they should make some news during their weekly news conferences?

Do something newsworthy.

jamapeggy.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Dems do not have a credible united voice. The billionaire-owned media ignore or undermine them just as they did with Biden. At first they will ignore a Dem press briefing but I think it will catch on world wide and we can spread it in social media. At a minimum it will give Dems a voice.

roadrunner63.bsky.social•4 days ago

And unlike trump’s ridiculous ‘press secretary’ who spouts trump’s blather no matter the question and block out media outlets that tell the truth, Dem House leaders themselves answer questions directly from reporters.

altgirl13.bsky.social•4 days ago

Also Pete is residing in Michigan with two small children, so I don’t think he wants that job.

jamapeggy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Pete is great but there are others like Beto O’Rourk. Whoever needs to be able to field questions on the fly. Investigative journalists & fact checkers will provide credibility. This is not dependent on Pete participating. So far crickets from Dems in congress. They should welcome a strong Dem voice

altgirl13.bsky.social•4 days ago

They are making plenty of noise in the committee hearings and on some cable networks,but I understand what you’re saying, I’m just not sure about execution.
