This 5th grader got a standing ovation from over 700 constituents for her pointed question to Republican Darrell Issa’s empty chair at the Indivisible town hall this past Sunday.

That horrible evil Federal government that comes to the people’s rescue after natural disasters. Keeps old people from having to move in with their adult children. Epidemic vaccines! Safe air travel! Law enforcement support. International security. Safe groceries. So much intrusion into our privacy.
I am waiting for a constituent to step up and say what is the point of all of this cruelty? Why does Stephen Miller insist on so much cruelty?
The wealthiest country deliberately hurting its citizens. Explain that to me.
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests on Saturday, April 5th. If anyone wants a printable file of it, please message me : ) Find out more about the protests here: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
I’m not keeping track though it seems like there have been more incidents like this in the last 60 days than in the previous 4 years combined. I presume that’s not accurate though it’s been a wicked 60 days to be sure. And yes, the 5th grader likely has as good an idea as the dementia-riddled man.
Reagan Intl is a freaking mess. Just close the stupid airport. Convert it into a AF base. Anyone who can’t get a Federal ride will just have to slum it out to Dulles. Another airport named after a murderer who got us involved in multiple foreign policy disasters.
Well that made me well up.
To hear a child talk about how a government should educate children... It's almost like America for a moment could pretend it was part of civilization again.
It is heartbreaking for future generations who will be affected by these cruel policies. Such short sightedness will ensure the future of America children’s education is worse for those that cannot afford to go to expensive for profit schools. This isn’t going to encourage people to have children.
Issa is the poster boy for today’s GOP. In his early days, Issa was a common sense, albeit conservative, MOC. Now his head is so far up Orange Jabba’s butt, it’s turned a hideous hue of smeared orange and brown. The lust for money and power is poisonous.
Speaking of Darrell Issa, you can meet with him ... if you can afford a fancy dinner at a Steak House. I would rather protest him for free than pay a fancy dinner at a Steak House.

"A California attorney running for Congressman Darrell Issa's seat tweeted a photo of Issa on the roof of his district office building, saying the congressman was 'too afraid to come peak with assembled constituents below."
There was MSNBC video but it's expired.
Bring back the stockade and being ridden out of town on a rail.
"While the literal practice is rare, the phrase "run out of town on a rail" is still used figuratively to describe forcing someone to leave a place or position."
OK, well that was great and very stimulating but what is the answer from our government?
This is a crisis that needs to be resolved, and we need to act.
If we can’t get answers and results from the criminals that hold higher office, then we need to find another solution, quickly
Town meetings are great in getting the word out to people, but I think we already understand the problem
It’s like hearing about these issues from Senators & Congress people that we look to for help, not beat the drum with us.
I guess I take for granted that people understand more than they do.
Just the opposite.
I’m saying that we need to do whatever it takes to get results.
Staying home? absolutely not
Doing nothing? absolutely not.
We need answers & results.
Our government is being dismantled, & our economy is collapsing.
Our elected officials at the highest level are breaking laws
My other concern is time.
They move swiftly.
Their issues manifest & disappear quickly.
They work in seconds & we work in hours.
How can we as a group, id, prioritize & drive key elections?
How can we use more nontraditional methods to mobilize more people faster?
We need a voice
A spokesperson
I am supportive of all these efforts & I just get impatient because these people don’t play by rules. They don’t have any respect for our laws.
They don’t have any respect for our constitution and until now, dems have not been very aggressive in getting in front of this nonsense.
I’m frustrated.
AFAIC, vast majority of the Repubs in congress are “empty chairs.” They don’t even try to represent their constituents, serving only their rich donors. Add hiding under their desks lest the Eye of Sauron or Elmo is cast in their general direction adds to their uselessness.
The sad answer is nothing. They, the GOP, only care about billioniares and Dictators. They have completely sold the future of.our families out to Musk and Putin. I blame the drumpf voters. They did this to us all. Noting that they have ever done puts everyday Americans first.
What a brilliant question from a young girl. The education cuts are going to affect all her family, it seems.
On a wider note, is Trump's intention to cut education attainment overall? Is the USA going to end up like the movie Idiocracy? Where hardly anyone has anything other than basic education?
Funny how Issa had tons of time to take his endless, stupid, dishonest dog-and-pony show pretending to be Benghazi “hearings” around the country, but can’t show up to talk with constituents.
Speaking of Darrell Issa, you can meet with him if you can pay a fancy steak dinner. I would rather protest him for free outside the steak dinner than pay the fancy steak dinner to meet with him. He is also an out-of-touch sociopath as well and needs to go.
Casa de Oro is my Alma mater, class of 1970! Now, as a retired elementary teacher, I fully understand the necessity of federal funding in education.
Defunding education is the part of Vought’s agenda that really breaks my heart! 💔
Just apart of Reagan’s legacy. Stupid Americans make stupid voting decisions. Americans on the margins (becuz they don’t have marketable skills or a trade) are too busy to vote or vote rationally. Vought wants us stupid.
Out of the mouths of babes! I think, the future will see many more young people literally calling out maga's & holding them accountable for the world they're forced to endure as a result of the pasts greed & lust for power and wealth. I don't think they'll look kindly on the thieves of democracy.
Every day get loud, show up and every day call your reps and

She is a young profile in courage. 💙✌️💙✌️
It's apparent that hurting children is considered collateral damage to this regime.

That's the only way this assault on our 🇺🇸 democracy and our democratic institutions makes sense. They don't care b/c we can't vote them out.

Also gotta say the chicken head sitting in Issa’s place is FIRE!

My nephew was this articulate at that age. Shut up.
Issa doesn’t want trump daddy to keep him from making money so he runs and hides. He’s doing alright 💰 what does he care?
