Thank you so much. In addition to the nothingness of the tweet, I don't believe in a "big man in the sky" omniscient God, and this creepy solution left me feeling abandoned. This was the perfect response to the Dem house leader.
Thank you! I feel that this should have been written in all caps because no one else is shouting! I want my reps to drop everything else and start shouting. And if there is no response, keep shouting, louder this time, until everyone hears you! And you’re right - there is NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT than this. Right now! Today! Immediately!
Charlotte-I really like what you wrote & I hope you sent it to Jeffries. Whether our elected officials act, or not, collectively, we need to be acting! I live in a red state but contact my Senators & Rep regularly, even though I know I’m pushing a rock uphill. We need to pick something & hammer it! As Joyce White Vance said, “Don’t give them a pass..” Thank you for speaking up. I hope you get a response from Jeffries.
Agree 100%!! I have been saying this constantly. What in the name of all that is rational and logical are the Democrats doing?! Schumer saying they can “discuss the Gulf is America”?! Schumer saying what we need now is bipartisanship?! Where has he been for the last eight or more years?! How are Dems this feckless? And then that tweet from Jeffries? WTF?! Seriously, WHAT. THE. EVERLOVING. F*#%?!?!
We need strong, visible leadership. We need strong, unmitigated condemnation. We need strong, visible, REAL action. But instead we get meek, wimpy, bland press releases or tweets IF WE GET ANYTHING AT ALL. Schumer could not have been more milquetoast today. Step down, you are not the man for this mission. Jeffries has been bland. As a NYer I am embarrassed that these men are from NY. They certainly aren’t doing our badass, take no crap reputation any good.
We need fire! We need to see the opposition party actually be an opposition party! Dems have been sleepwalking for more than two years. At this rate I’m assuming they’ve just decided to go along with the occupant of the White House becoming the Almighty Oz and the Dems will join the Lollipop Guild. It’s seriously depressing.
I actually think his post was more condescending than “thoughts and prayers” because of the audacity it takes to remind us that “Presidents come and Presidents go”’as if we don’t know that and as if this presidency is same ole same ole.
All but a tiny few Dems are failing us remarkably (see my Senator Kaine’s vote for Kristi Noem, something for which he doesn’t respect his constituents enough to issue a statement).
Thank you for saying what I know so many of us are feeling. I put in a call to one of my senators today (Alex Padilla) and left a message saying "what are you doing to stop this?". And I will keep calling.
You're so right - they need to stop ALL business as usual and make a plan NOW. Not tomorrow.
Blessings on your smart head, as always. We need action, tough talk & an opposition party. Dems must ask for our action and not our money. Leave the god business to others and be strategic politicians.
“Congress is not the Church and you were not elected to offer up a half-baked tweet sermon in lieu of a coherent political strategy anymore than I would sit in a pew at my church waiting for my priest to articulate an aggressive public policy vision.” Amen sister
Appreciate this 1000% Charlotte. I have replied to Speaker Jeffries about invoking God in his communications asking him to keep it private. There should be no religion in our government. Full stop.
Oh you’ve summed this up perfectly. I darn near threw my phone across the room when I read what he posted. That thread needed to include and a “here’s what we’re gonna do about it” statement.
New subscriber. Bang that drum it needs to be heard in DC like a sledgehammer on steel to move the go-along get-along crew to Act before the Country drowns.

Well said! We need opposition leaders to step up and act to the utmost of their constitutional duties. Not cower in the chaos and darkness.

Amen! The leadership vacuum is frightening.
