Our Democratic delegation (14 in House and 2 in Senate) are working together using the levers we have to pull. In the meantime, we need neighbors and communities to come together and organize!
So the needle to thread here is tiny, compared to others who won’t be in jeopardy in 2026. Also, I fundamentally believe we will run out of energy fighting in defense. We need an offensive strategy to get our country out of this crisis.
What additional action do you suggest? I have one voice and I am one vote out of 435. I too believe Democrats should be doing 1000% more. And seeing a record turnout from neighbors at our local Dem Party meeting helps. But I am also in a district with 49% R’s and 51% D’s.
While the President decided to play gross politics with the air disaster, DCA opened right up again with no changes in protocol. I have moved all of my to/from trips from DCA to IAD until someone assures me the airspace has been made safer around Reagan.
The Senator is right on here.
BENNET: Is Edward Snowden a traitor to the United States of America? GABBARD: *dodges* BENNET: This is where the rubber meets the road. This is when you need to answer the question. Is Snowden a traitor? GABBARD: ... BENNET: That is not a hard question to answer when the stakes are this high!
2/2 Before we conjecture theories, I hope we all take the time to remember the people on board the American Airlines flight, as well as the heroes aboard the Army helicopter and first responders on the ground and on the water. 🇺🇸 ✈️ 🙏
1/2 My heart breaks for the families who lost loved ones last night. As someone who follows the aviation industry, as well as my nearly-weekly flights through DCA, I understand the complexities of the airspace and the lack of room for error.
This morning, facebook started serving me all kinds of right wing stuff in my feed. When I went to manage content preferences, I see they automatically made me follow Trump yesterday. Am I the only one?
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us that when we come together with a common purpose of equality, we build a better nation. His work changed us for the better and should inspire everyone to work so his dream becomes reality.
On this snowy night in the nation’s capital, I am remembering Air Florida Flight 90. Between terminals 1 and 2 at Reagan Nat’l Airport lies the official remembrance memorial to those who died in the plane crash on January 13, 1982. 74 people aboard the plane died. 4 people on the bridge died. 🥀
In the 119th Congress, it’s my hope that more Americans get to know the lesser-known members who work hard to find compromise and solutions, rather than the loud mouths who bluster, claw, and scratch on social and cable “news.”
