@AdamKinzinger
Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Do something

1. Republicans love theater--they love staging big stunts etc.

That's not Dems' style. But they're going to have to start.

[lees1975]

34. Democrats are going to have to start doing a lot of things that haven't been "their style."

It's long past time to take GOP tactics and turn them around against them.

[murielm99]

2. Are you going to join them Adam?

You were my congress person and nothing but an opportunist. I went to one of your "town halls." Join in, buddy.

[gab13by13]

4. Even Saul became Paul

Kinzinger has been one of the most outspoken people fighting against Musk/Trump.

Kinzinger lost his job doing what was right.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

36. Exactly. And he's telling Dems, "This is how Rs

would do it. The kind of thing they used to beat you."

Free advice! Take it!!!

[Historic NY]

3. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

[dweller]

5. Why just Dem Congress members

Why not citizens ?
They have as much right as Lone Skunk and his high school cronies

🤔



✌🏻

[Magoo48]

28. Yes, every time they respond to any stunts, call on us to join in. Lead.

[Justice matters.]

6. Too late and a dollar short.

Anyone really believe Putin and Xi ($WASTiMusKKKA's partners) don't already have all the Classified documents in their personal (e)mailbox already?

If there was still such a thing as the Rule of Law, the DOGE mafia would be rounded up and charged...

[markie]

9. "If there was still such a thing as the Rule of Law..."

I so clearly remember many republicans in the past claiming that we were a "nation of laws, not a nation of men"

what happened?

[Justice matters.]

10. Their lyin' extortionist in chief silenced them with threats. nt

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

37. And for many, allowed them to show

their true colors. That they no longer needed to pretend to gaf about anything but taking over &
taking revenge against those following the rule of law to prosecute Trump & cronies. Oh, & funneling our money to Rs.

[soldierant]

33. I remember that time also.

But that was when more of the laws were on their side of cruelty and suppression.

Remember, those who hid Anne Frank and her family were breaking the law. Those who killed her were obeying it.

[Native]

7. He's right - "Your message is your weapon"

[ananda]

8. He appears to have more fight than all the Democrats put together.

What does that tell me?

We are a fascist nation now, full blown.

[FSogol]

23. Except that Reps Beyer, Connolly, Raskin and Sen Van Hollen are already there. n/t

[ananda]

25. That's nice. Now then.. why didn't I know that?

It seems to be hard for Dems to get visibility these days.

I guess they'll have to force it.

[90-percent]

30. Dont forget

Jasmine Crockett!

-90% jimmy

[CoopersDad]

11. He is RIGHT! If ever there was a time to STEP UP...

That time is right fucking now.

And it applies to all good citizens, not just elected officials and not just Democratic Leaders.

[StarryNite]

12. Kinzinger is exactly right!

It's time they did their fucking job and stand up to the fascists who are at this very moment overthrowing our government!

[quakerboy]

29. they did.

Now what?

[StarryNite]

31. At least they tried. Now they need to keep trying.

[flashman13]

13. Not that I think anyone gives a damn about my opinion, BUT

The Dems need to form rapid response teams. They should be made up of a couple of House members, A senator or two (if they can find any that are awake ), a half dozen attorneys (ACLU, or Mark Elias types would be good), a dozen plain We the Peoples, and as many reporters (local and national) as they can find. When eLoon and his Muskrats show up at any Federal organization, a rapid response team shows up and loudly demands WTF is going on here. Get in the way. Make a scene. Call D.C. police and try to have them arrest eLoon & Co for trespassing. Maybe even get arrested. Sic Jasmine Crockett on them. It would have the same effect as turning the kitchen light on and watching the roaches scurry back into hiding.

Do something!

[Petsyrah]

14. Today

Today 1 PM EST Members from both chambers if Congress will be at USAD led by Rep. Beyer.

[uponit7771]

15. ***GET IN GOOD TROUBLE NOW!!!***

[Owens]

16. If this was visual

Americans would understand it more and add a little flair to it and accuse Elon of sabotaging it

[rubbersole]

17. It's all optics to the repubs.

And they're very good at it. It has taken the reality of "higher prices" to finally get any pushback from America's ruling class. Pushback isn't enough.

[Owens]

18. How does a private citizen and illegal immigrant have this much authority?

[malthaussen]

19. By assuming it and not being stopped. n/t

[TomSlick]

32. Private citizen? Probably.

An arrogant shit and a clear and present danger to US democracy? Absolutely.

However, he is a naturalized US citizen. Scopes grades the claims of a dubious immigration status in the past as unproven.

[tavernier]

20. So the citizens of our country voted for fascism

in the House, Senate, and Presidency, and cheered when Trump filled the SCOTUS seats with traitors. And now they are all SCREAMING at democrats to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!
You have blocked all our paths and now you insist
WE MAN UP.

FAFO.

[GoreWon2000]

22. Dem leadership did nothing to stop the 2000 election theft

by abandoning Al Gore and his fight to have the uncounted Florida votes counted which disenfranchised our entire country and allowed GOP SCOTUS appointed Bush to put 2 anti democracy GOP extremists on the SCOTUS and also destroy the economy that left so many white working class men out of work. This resulted in tRump's first term where he put 3 more anti democracy GOP extremists on the SCOTUS. Then in 2024, the mostly white, anglo male dem leadership ran the same 2000 election theft anti democracy play against Biden that disenfranchised 14 million dem party primary voters. Americans are tired of getting their votes thrown out and the dem leadership doing nothing to stop the 2000 anti democracy disenfranchisement and then engaging in the same anti democracy disenfranchising behavior in 2024. The result of the dem leadership's failure to act has caused millions of Americans to give up on democracy and vote for a dictator. This is the ugly reality of where our country is now at. Now is not the time to be "nice" to the don't fight back dem party leadership. There are times in life when the truth is very ugly and our country is now in one of those times.

[Bengus81]

21. Wait...someone will be along pretty soon saying Dems hands are tied

Because we don't have a majority in Congress. Pfffttt... BULL$hit!!

[ultralite001]

24. Just do it...

Show up...

Federal employees... You have sworn an oath... Your organization has a mandate... You are public servants... Do your jobs...

The Musketeer + his minions have no legal authority... Call them on it... Call security... Call the police... They are trespassing... They are stealing... They are hacking... They are obstructing... They are interfering... They are sabotaging democracy...

Do something...

[greatlaurel]

26. Democratic Party elected officials did show up. Where were you?

Dear Mr Kinzinger,

Where were you?

Our Democratic Party elected members showed up at USAID and gave barn burner speeches supporting democracy and entered the building. The MSM failed to show up for our democracy today. C-span cut off coverage.

Again, I ask where were you? Where were all the people screaming about the Democratic Party must do something? They are. Why are you not supporting them?

[Think. Again.]

27. YES !!!

[JimRiggins]

35. A coup

And without a doubt, the Trump cult will call this the largest coup our country has ever witnessed.
