Has anybody heard from the "Rapid Response Task Force"? Hakeem

[Ars Longa]

Jeffries promised a vigorous response to the torrent of awful
policies and actions coming out ot the Trump/Musk Whitehouse.
For example, the Trump/Musk regime is flooding the zone with
the lie that 160 year-olds are getting Social security benefits.
I thought the Rapid Response Task Force would be out in force
countering this...
Has anybody heard from the RRTF or Jeffries?

I had such high hopes for Jeffries being one of our young leaders, but since this slaughter of our government started he’s really been a no show in so many ways. Presidents come and go but there is only one Jesus?! That’s what we get for leadership?! And we wonder why people don’t bother to vote….

2. It's the 160-year-olds receiving Social Security who really, really need the money.

Most of them have outlived their retirement savings by now.

3. Welcome new members!

4. Do Town halls

That’s how you do rapid response, you listen to the people and tell the truth about what is about to befall them.

It needs to be all hands on deck, not just a team.

5. It's about litigation, creating an opposition infrastructure that will "protect and defend everyday Americans"

from the harm of Trump's policies. It's not about yelling. But of course everyone will leap to bash Jeffries and cry about broken promises Democrats never made, as usual.

Wah! IT'S BEEN, LIKE, 27 DAYS WHY HAVEN'T DEMOCRATS FIXED EVERYTHING OMGERD SITTING ON THEIR HANDS DOING NOTHING WHY DON'T THEY DO THE MAGIC YELLING???????????? I hate you, mommy!

Proceed with the bashing for no reason.

9. For real! I mean they've appeared

on the Capitol steps like TWICE already! And Chuck is about to make a FOURTH bowl of guacamole! And he's REALLY PROUD he selected Lisa Slotkin!

What the absolute fuck! Leave leadership alone!

Shame on Al Green!

And BTW, Marco Rubio is doing a great job!

Bashing for no reason? What have they actually done? Who is in charge? This is exactly why we continue to lose elections, the only people who are loudly calling out the GOP are Jasmin, AOC, Bernie & Jamie. I’ve left numerous messages with my senators & congressman/ women & have not heard or seen any response, other than auto text and emails for money

6. Creating a "Task Force" that does NOTHING, is WORSE

than doing nothing in in the first place.

7. Hakeem Jeffries told Democrats to hold town halls right away. Which Dems followed through?

[Scrivener7]

8. So now is when the arm twisting needs to begin. We need them in red areas, and in person.

(Not on zoom.)

This'll be the new subject in my calls to my reps.

[Ars Longa]

11. Yes, This!!

[BannonsLiver]

12. You have to give them time to run the responses through at least 2 focus groups.

[newdeal2]

13. Town halls are good

But you need a great online strategy to distribute the message to lots of people quickly. That is a specialized skill set that a lot of leaders lack.

14. Not a single person who took the oath of office has tried to leverage it to declare T&M domestic enemies as per

their oath. Same with ex military. Where is the defense against these enemies? even past President and VP's are silent.
