Such a shame that every media outlet is in the House and Senate press galleries ready to cover a Dem daily press briefing (it's their beat if it's done in Congress) but Dems simply won't do it. I've every detail covered on this, so there's no excuse @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - ThreadSky

You mean the Democratic press briefings and interview comments the press shoves down to the very last paragraphs of a story like this one?

Something we can do organize & restart the zoom calls like we had during Kamalas campaign.Give a platform 2 people who's lives R being devastated by EM/47. They R stories that need 2 B told & listened 2. Stories of real people Washington can't hide or ignore. I'm sick of the 24x7 circus.

why isn't there a shadow dem govt reporting everything???

flossy3.bsky.social•3 days ago

Should be Miss Crockett!

cherijacobus.bsky.social•3 days ago

she has a full time job already

eschinderman.bsky.social•3 days ago

yes!!

ck1956.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why don’t they just do it.

seahorse71.bsky.social•3 days ago

Jasmine Crocket told Ali Velshi yesterday that they would!

cherijacobus.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't think they are talking about what I've laid out

They lay everyone off after each election.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social

WHAT ARE YOU ALL WAITING FOR? How can you stand being seen as spineless cowards?
Where are the daily pressers countering the lies?
Where is the shadow cabinet preserving our national security and dignity?
PLS DO SOMETHING

fname84776969.bsky.social•3 days ago

what exactly do you want them to do, what are you doing, it will be the people who make a difference, my local news is calling things out (no more cable news), educate yourself & do what you can to educate others, once people feel the pain they'll revolt but they need to know who to blame

cherijacobus.bsky.social•3 days ago

They need to do a daily press briefing from the Capitol Building on par with the daily WH press briefings. I lay it allout here: https://youtu.be/NnXQg36hL1o?si=BSc9DTNycVvLM6Hw

fname84776969.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've been seeing this for days, how many people pay attention to daily press briefings, they pay attention to sound bites from their silos, people know what's happening, it doesn't take someone on the hill to tell us, it's more grassroots & how it's affecting people & not just in the DMV

ljt63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes! Why are so many folks trying to tell us “there’s nothing they can do”! Ffs.

ljt63.bsky.social•3 days ago

You don’t know what I am doing. All hands on deck not just ours. They have tremendous platforms, millions of followers; can command daily press conferences; can be on the Sunday shows and podcasts with united and forceful messages. But yeah keep making excuses for their weakness. JHC.

fname84776969.bsky.social•3 days ago

They've been on social media, Sunday shows, & cable news, had pressers but not everyday, & appear on podcasts. If they did do daily pressers not everyone pays attention to them & those who need to hear & understand what's said won't because they don't trust/believe the dems, it's more grassroot

ljt63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Name them. There are 280 Dems in the House. We’re hearing from maybe 3 of them. Where is the Speaker? Sen leaders? There are 48 Dem Senators, we’re hearing maybe 3 of them.
AOC, Crockett, Raskin, Murphy only ones meeting the moment.

fname84776969.bsky.social•3 days ago

what are you watching/who are you following? I see my congressman, senators, and out of state senators on my local news and follow several online. The speaker is Johnson but Jeffries has been speaking out, follow democratic legislative members/groups

hiyer.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think you need to take a look at what powers the minority party actually has, for anything. I’m sure they’re thinking about stuff, but the Republicans kinda control what happens or doesn’t happen in government now. So what would you like them to do, other than strongly worded protest statements?

rwreports.bsky.social•3 days ago

And none of the complainers are calling their own reps!

ewebitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why are you tagging Buttigieg?

ljt63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why not? He’s one of our party leaders and one of the most articulate.

ewebitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

But he shouldn’t be “brought down” being in a group with Schumer and Jeffries. Those 2 are useless! Pete should be the future of our party.

ljt63.bsky.social•3 days ago

Brought down, are you kidding me? We in a state or collapse. They are all party leaders. They have a job to do as leaders. They have specific skills sets that make them the leaders. They command attention as leaders. And need to exploit that. It matters little what seats they are in.

ewebitch.bsky.social•3 days ago

What skills of Schumer and Jeffries are you happy with currently? Neither of those 2 command attention. They’re milquetoast. We are in trouble! We need strength!

thepharmabrewer.bsky.social•3 days ago

Your ideas are great but you’re targeting the wrong people. Mayor Pete is a good leader but this effort should be done outside the current leadership. Gather experts in all the fields they are destroying as well as other leaders. Treat it as auditions for President and future leadership positions.

thepharmabrewer.bsky.social•3 days ago

We need these press conferences to rival and overtake those by Trump. Like in COVID when Cuomo was putting out much better info.

Show the American people how the country should be ran and maybe they will actually get out to vote.

hiddenmama.bsky.social•3 days ago

We need to make this happen. Think briefing during Covid. we need the information and the truth. Our Democracy is failing and we have no leader!! @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

itchybitchyspider.bsky.social•3 days ago

It feels like a majority of Congressional dems in Congress aren't interested in saving or helping us.

rwreports.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why would a guy running for Senate in Michigan put himself at the center of national debates day after day and be put in a position where he has to defend other positions?

pkkitt.bsky.social•3 days ago

definitely a good idea; at least to give it a try; what's there to lose? couple of thoughts, if you haven't already done this: 1) personally call @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and @kenmartin.bsky.social to discuss; 2) offer some of your consulting hours as pro bono to get it off the ground.

cherijacobus.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't have a way to personally call them

larrylecloshard.bsky.social•3 days ago

It makes sense.

meidassarie.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've been watching daily briefings from Dems. What am I missing? Raskin is outside and the rest were just talking about what is in the bill to reduce Medicaid. Maybe WE should amplify what they are saying instead of bashing!

marietoto.bsky.social•3 days ago

Will share. Keep on plugging away. Thanks

paccali68.bsky.social•3 days ago

Losing confidence in both @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov

We need leadership that is harder working and more competent at this difficult time

What tf are they doing?!?

teeganburke.bsky.social•3 days ago

Here’s what I wonder. Is it financially beneficial for these representatives to acquiesce? Let 🍊💩 do whatever he wants and the money flows in from PACs. Their billionaire donors benefit as well. Let’s not pretend that just Republicans benefit from Citizens United

linjurz.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've been sharing your posts about this here and on Facebook. It's a good idea. Pete is a good communicator. I'm noticing more comments on social media as well. So the idea is spreading.

dorindaroche.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe they r hoping for a bigger audience. Like when the Republicans fail and they need Dems to pass. Idk. Just a guess.

moleatmal.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed Cheri. So far I’m underwhelmed by Ken Martin & David Hogg. We’re in the middle of a life or death crisis & they’re not doing much other than sending out texts/emails for funds
