Cheri Jacobus: I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH.

Call it "voted off the island by MAGA" - bring a wholesome red state family or community leader who was devastated by the impacts of DOGE cuts to research or support systems:
who lost housing in areas where there is no affordable housing,
Low income families who had hundreds of dollars taken out of their accounts to pay suddenly removed federal grant money (February deposits) that would have paid for critical utilities they had already used,
Jobs lost where there are few as a federal site was shuttered, or department decimated,
Lives lost or impacted critical health care or pharmacopoeia/therapies lost where research or subsidies were taken away,
Citizens who were cheated of thousands of dollars by scam businesses or investments as consumer guardrails were removed - or became critically ill or died due to cuts at the FDA or CDC, allowing corporations to ignore contamination in products or disease vectors if it might impact their profits,
Individuals impacted by hackers who got into their accounts or personal information, who lost life savings, or found a criminal had used their personal information open accounts and to commit financial crimes.
Communities that lost their economic drivers when critical infrastructure projects were cancelled, or manufacturing, or agriculture businesses dried up...

"Barksdale, LA and Minot ND - You've both been voted off MAGA Island...
You've lost these units at the bases,
these departments in other Federal sites impacting this number of employees,
this much funding in infrastructure and these federal grants, taking this much money from the local economy and impacting these local businesses, and
lost this much in individual HHS grants, taking food, housing, and utilities support from this number of families.
The DOGE has spoken. Hand over the keys to your houses and businesses to Donald Trump and go find a tent at the camps."

But sadly sarcastic. It seems to be the only way some people experience the world.
