Thursday 3/20 edition of Dems, Dems and more Dems... [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-03-20

Democrats have been really busy the past couple of days! They’re meeting constituents, doing local events and speaking up about the continued awfulness of this administration.

This little series of mine is simply to show people that Democrats are speaking up, and showing up. It’s not just the ones that go viral or are popular media targets.

I encourage those of you who are on social media to follow as many Democrats as possible. You can really learn a lot about what’s going on and can share information with friends and family.

As always, I have to give a shout out to lpeacock’s Thursday round-up of the actions and activities of the Congressional Black Caucus. Check out her diary for a more in-depth look than I offer here.

Also, a shoutout to Dfh1 for his diary this week on Rep. Judy Chu. He saw a tweet about her in one of these diaries and did some research and put it together for a terrific diary.

I’m sure there are more diaries out there, so keep an eye out for them and support them. We can only get through this together!

x We must save Medicaid.



And take a chainsaw to Project 2025. pic.twitter.com/5EGRdfjKDR — Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) March 18, 2025

x At a time when Republicans are attacking science, slashing health care, and putting politics over patients, Democratic physicians must be organized to fight back. This week, we launched the Congressional Doctors Caucus to champion patient-centered, science-based policy. We will… pic.twitter.com/4kCeqLIJds — Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (@RepDexterOR) March 18, 2025

x Who relies on Medicaid in California? – 61% of people living in nursing homes

– 48% of working-age adults with disabilities

– 43% of all children

– 40% of moms giving birth and their newborn babies Republicans want to cut their coverage. — Rep. Ted Lieu (@reptedlieu.bsky.social) March 18, 2025 at 9:47 AM

x President Trump is attempting to assert wartime powers without a congressional declaration of war. The Alien Enemies Act was last invoked in World War II as the legal authority for the shameful internment of noncitizens of Japanese, German, and Italian descent.



Even though a… — Governor Bob Ferguson (@GovBobFerguson) March 18, 2025

x Happy 100th birthday, Fergie Reid! Your legacy as the first Black man elected to the Virginia General Assembly since Reconstruction has paved the way for so many of us to carry on your mantle. Enjoy your special day!

x It is hard to imagine something more shameful and un-American than erasing the legacy of men and women who served our country with honor, courage and dignity. Trump and Musk have no respect for sacrifice, and no understanding of what makes America great.

x Musk's entities have now pushed more than $13 million into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race to buy a seat for Brad Schimel so that, in the words of Musk's flyers, he can "keep President Trump's agenda moving forward." Track spending here:

x That’s a lie. The president had NO authority to fire two FTC commissioners — he did it anyway because our laws mean nothing to him.

x For years, I’ve advocated for a stock trading ban for members of Congress. Lawmakers should serve the public, not profit from their positions. Banning stock trading would help restore trust and ensure elected officials work for you—not their own financial gain.

x Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

x Year after year, the 5000 Role Models Police and Youth Conference has become a catalyst for dialogue in order to bridge the tension between our police and boys of color. And today’s event with our Miami Heat, Dedication 2 Community, and law enforcement was a success! #WeAre5000 👐🏾❤️🖤

x Folks, I'm hitting the road this week and traveling across Illinois to see how Donald Trump’s cuts are hurting our farmers, families, and so many more in our state. It's time the President heard straight from the source what he's doing to Illinoisans. — Governor JB Pritzker (@govpritzker.illinois.gov) March 19, 2025 at 9:10 AM

x Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is trying to gut Social Security & Medicare.



It's sickening to see the ultra-rich trying to con working Americans living paycheck to paycheck into believing that eliminating federal safety net programs would help them get ahead. — Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) March 19, 2025

I share this post to remind you that your members can be found all over speaking to constituents.

x Don't forget: Trump is ripping away funding that helps schools feed kids, all while he demands massive tax cuts for billionaires.



He is literally stealing from the mouths of hungry children while working to shovel more cash into the pockets of the richest people in the world. pic.twitter.com/R5fNB28wYj — Senator Patty Murray (@PattyMurray) March 19, 2025

x In yet another complete betrayal, Cadet Bone Spurs is removing the stories of great American heroes from our military websites.

⁰Their service deserves to be celebrated, not erased.

⁰Donald Trump must #RestoreAllWhoServed.

⁰These are the brave heroes he's ashamed of 🧵 — Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) March 19, 2025

x Another great American military hero erased from our military websites.⁰⁰Trump’s pointless, counterproductive culture war is hurting our military and denigrating the service of our Veterans.⁰⁰Shame on him. https://t.co/1sb8GH4sw3 — Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) March 19, 2025

x Medicaid covers 33% of people in NM.



Republicans want to rip Medicaid away from children and families to fund a tax scam for their rich friends.



It was a privilege to meet with El Centro Family Health to discuss how we can work together to ensure New Mexicans have access to… pic.twitter.com/IHyGbECgln — Senator Ben Ray Luján (@SenatorLujan) March 19, 2025

x Make your voice heard, New Mexico. Congressional Republicans are coming after Medicaid to pay for the Trump Tax Scam 2.0. We can't sit this one out. pic.twitter.com/jpDrMnAtHI — Senator Ben Ray Luján (@SenatorLujan) March 18, 2025

x DOGE is closing nearly 50 Social Security offices across the country — including in White Plains — and now they're limiting phone support.



Make no mistake, this is a full-blown attack on Social Security. Elon Musk is trying to take away benefits you earned.… — Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) March 18, 2025

x Corporate profits keep going up while working people are underpaid and overworked. Strong unions are how we create an economy built for our families, and I’m proud to cosponsor the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.

I had to do a screenshot to post this tweet because copying the link to it dropped the Grok response. Hence the funky formatting here.
