I wonder if we can put pressure on thr creation of a sort of Shadow Cabinet/Opposition Voice. Rep. Maxwell Frost, a Florida Democrat, is becoming a leader to watch in the Democratic Party. The youngest member of the house, he is pushing for democrats to lead not just a minority party, but an opposition party, and to put up an actual fight. Rep. Jasmine Crockett from Texas also shared ideas of having a group of progressive Dems serve as voices of reason and rally citizens. What do you all think? Would love to create a sort of working group with you all!

US Congress is controlled by trump/Musk/MAGA Republicans.

They will do whatever trump tells them to do. Suppose Congressional Democrats are stupid enough to try to look strong to voters and negotiate with GOP/trump on the debt ceiling/budget. What makes anyone think this budget will be honored anymore than the ones MUSK/trump/GOP/DOJ/FBI are trashing, ignoring, betraying the taxpayers' representation for last budget and decades of budgets before that. Closing agencies, firing IGs, firing Generals, lawyers, political retribution for 1/6/2021 prosecutions, stopping aid.

DEMS should not negotiate while a COUP is going on! They should publically state why they cannot in good faith spend taxpayers' money anywhere because GOP/trump/Musk can just ignore this budget too. DEMS will NEVER legitimize insurrectionist party, grifters, robbers, raiders, abuse of laws, court rulings and doing it because they have all the power right now.

Let GOP/trump do their budget as they see fit. ONLY the pain will wake up the sleepy voters, uninformed people who think someone else will protect their rights, freedoms, lives.

DEMS can make a big splash with messaging as to why they will not negotiate with untrustworthy people. COUPMASTERS who are putting unqualified, partisan, extremists, inexperienced hacks in charge of the military, DOJ, FBI, National Security, shutting agencies, stopping funding etc.

Inform the PEOPLE and stay out of the budget process. GOP will only lie about who ruined peoples' lives, why they lost jobs, USA is in a recession. Let the GOP hang themselves.

How about including the children, fertile females who are being forced to risk their lives, bodies, financial welfare, give up their plans because RED STATES want to own female bodies with their laws? Does anyone still care about females breeders, health care, futures, freedom to control their bodies as well as transgender people? There are 1.6M transgender and anywhere from 65M-90M fertile females 9-50 years old. Where is the concern and public outcry for this huge group that is under attack. Abortions, abortion drug, birth control pills are all on the chopping block of RFK, FDA, US Supreme Court.

The SAVE Act is exactly the kind of rollback that happens when voter suppression is disguised as ‘security.’ Setting voter registration back by decades isn’t a side effect—its the goal. And if history tells us anything, it’s that bureaucratic roadblocks have always been a go-to tactic for those who can’t win fairly.

I recently wrote about the SAVE Act from a historical perspective—because this isn’t the first time ‘paperwork’ has been weaponized against voters. The more we expose these tactics, the harder it’ll be for them to slip through. Appreciate you keeping the pressure on—every call matters! https://forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/the-fine-print-of-suppression

What is a scam report? I need more information.

It is if someone had tried to contact you saying they represent a government office asking you to give them info money things like that who are not government workers. Or if you think someone has you info and accessed your account changing bank details, as in an imposter who for ahold of your ss card. If you go to https://www.ssa.gov/scam/resources.html

This explains it all. I felt someone violated my privacy and could possibly violated my account through illegal access, which is what doge is doing, so I reported it through the relevant govt website. I just think more people should.
