10. Senate Democrats passed the CR back in March

Jul 2025

should have taken a stand back then, instead Krasnov got everything he wanted and Democrats got absolutely nothing. I will admit that more Magats voted for it than Democrats, but Democrats could have stopped it and Schumer explained clearly why he voted aye.

I am talking about specific types of town halls where "we" put a face on what evil is coming for us.

Did you watch the MSNBC town hall where the fired federal workers told their personal stories? It was riveting.

I am not talking about a video town hall, or a town hall where the Rep stands on a stage and takes questions. I am talking about well planned town halls where the victims of the Big Ugly Death Bill can tell how it will devastate them.

Doing those types of town halls in red districts would have been covered by local Fox affiliates.

"Town halls would not have prevented anything" I can't prove a negative can I? I can't prove that something would have worked that wasn't tried.
