So wait...democrats can hold hearings without republicans? Why aren't we holding Signalgate hearings? Or DOGE hearings? I realize we can't compel Trump allies to testify, but certainly we can get experts?

When the smoke clears he will be appointed to be POTUS of the U of I.
Is it the PBS News Hour?
When is it on?
Someone has to record it, transcribe it, etc. Official hearings have staff to take care of that.
It takes time, and is not free.
Shadow hearings don't get recorded automatically.
And there IS a shortage of press willing to do the job, because it costs time and money.
Until the party removes Jeffries and Schumer, it won’t be viewed as a credible alternative.
Aye, there' the rub though.

1. No one would show up, really not a good look.
2. Don't wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty and the pig likes it.
For the funny reasons. For the serious reasons. For the sarcastic reasons. For the troubling reasons.
They don't want to.
Even if you can't hold an official House or Senate hearing, you can still hold a public event in which the TRUTH can be revealed and suggestions and plans discussed to resolve some of the issues!
Force the knowledge out into the public's view!
They definitely should hold hearings of all types, but they can't force Trump's people to show up.
We need to teach the press how politics should be covered.
They don't get covered.
Folks seem to think the press will automatically show up and put hearings on the news. That wasn't even true when we had the majority!
One problem is that there's no official record kept.
Have hearings on all the scientific research stopped.
Tee things up and go.
this is another @schumer.senate.gov's decision.
he said:
we do not have the power of subpoena
we do not the power to compel anyone to come
(because they are not in the majority)
@schumer.senate.gov MUST STEP DOWN
he is compromised
he is not the leader for this time
Maybe congress can haul him in front of them in his capacity as head archivist and ask how he intends to enforce the records act?
