I asked Senator Chuck Shamar what the US wanted from the Democrats right now.
He told me, “They want us to defeat Trump and stop this mess.” “And that’s what we are doing.”
It was a welcome sign of life. Now for three weeks, President Trump and the richest man in the world have taken 250 years to build democracy. The country faces the second crisis: an opposition party that does not seem to be responding.
Along with the party’s clear standards, the task of guiding the Washington Democrats in the second Trump era has been largely fell to Mr. Shamar and representative Hakim Jeffrey, the Senate and the minority leaders of the House. This has been a rocky start.
Mr. Shamar and Mr. Jeffeer are experienced Dell Makers. But in the minority and the US Congress faced a lot of meaning, the President faced the fight, both of them have struggled to eliminate the routine of business as usual.
On Monday, he sent a letter to Congress Democrats about legal action and surveillance inquiry to fight Mr Trump’s agenda. There was some substance. But it is difficult to say that the United States is in danger through a letter.
Last week they Tooted The purpose of a bill of House Democrats is to prevent Elon Musk from accessing the department’s payment system, though it was clear – at least the state lawyers general who filed a lawsuit – that Mr Musk’s access to the Constitution The current laws have also been violated, including the Privacy Act of 1974. Sometimes, Mr Jeffreys has raised a voice like someone who has lost. “What’s the benefit we have?” He told reporters at his weekly news conference on Friday. He said he controls the House, the Senate and the House. This is their government.
More disappointing is still listening to him talking about working with the Republican as it is 2012.
Since Americans suffered a large number of federal government disaster, Mr Jeffrez Exposed A 10 -point plan and it was said that wherever he would work with the Republican. “We want to find a shared ground,” he Told Reporters recently. If you were interested in doing these things like reducing the high cost of living in the United States. Republicans have no interest in doing so. At the end of the day, the American people will make them accountable.
Democrats and the country must focus on the economy. But with Mr Jefferiz’s speech, the Musk Locals sat in the Treasury. FBI agents were forced, and on January 6, their investigations needed to take more money on their roles.
Mr Jefferiz said he was “ready, ready and capable” to deal with inflation, border security and crime. Streaming for democracy is nothing more than reading the pools.
From Sherly Chashlum, Alexandria Okasio Cortez, Donald Trump has gone to Washington. Mr. Shamar and Mr Jeffreys, both from Brooklyn, are different.
Mr Jeffrez goes with a cautious reserve that has sometimes frustrated New York’s Democrats. Mr. Shamar is more colored, with the glory of Huki. But in recent weeks, the style has sometimes felt inadequate. In an interview earlier this month, Mr. Shamar advised that the Democrats waited for Mr. Trump. “Trump will find out,” he said. Told Simpur. On February 1, Mr. Musk’s team was filled with Mr. Shamar’s social media corn the next day to reach the Treasury Department’s payment system for the first time. “You’re driving a car to work,” a Post Read “Wait until Trump’s prices increase your gas prices.” Democratic governors last month urged Mr Shamar to face fierce competition.
It’s not that the Democrats did not work. He is running a serious legal campaign in the courts to fight the Trump administration, which can be one of the most effective tools of democratic opposition. Mr. Shamar and Mr Jeffretes may benefit some in the next months, when Republicans will possibly need some democratic help to discuss the loan roof and budget increase.
But publicly, the feeling of strength has often disappeared. The leadership of the US opposition party cannot decide whether it will work with the Republican where there are contract sectors, throw hands or fight. Part of the issue lacks consensus in the party as to why the Democrats lost the elections in November and what should be done about it.
This is an important debate. But the United States does not have time to wait for the Democrats to find the best message.
What Mr. Shamar and Mr Jeffreys can do is at a lot of threats of the moment, immediately and permanently, as well as how the lives of a particular government program and how to trap the constitutional power of people. Will be affected. They can defend with the values that millions of Americans still believe in: civil rights and the rule of law. Respect for science and land; Freedom of religion; The dignity of all human beings.
The most powerful resources available are attention and public pressure. We know a part of Mr Trump on January 27 as it appears to be the federal funding of the federal funding. He was informed that they would have a direct impact, the Americans mobilized. Two days later, Mr. Trump divers.
Mr. Shamar’s approach appears to be at least ready, and quickly. After Voting Yes, on Mr Trump’s two nominees, the minority leader has said that in recent times he plans to vote on Mr Trump’s remaining election, and has urged other Senate Democrats to do the same. – The Senate started on Monday Whistling hotline Collecting evidence for legal challenges and allowing government employees to report power and threats to the public.
Mr. Shamar told me, “I’m getting more and more angry.” “At first the voters were just down in the dumps, but I think they were like me when they saw how bad it was. They said we just can’t – you know, my father taught me a lesson. He said, “Look at your heart when you are doing something important.” Will succeed.
Democratic leadership can do more. One idea is to try a daily, combat room -style briefing with Americans about the events of this day in Washington, which has been very difficult and difficult to follow. A few Democrats, including Ms Okasio Cortez and Senator Brian Scotts, are already doing something, which has kept the Americans updated directly on several social media platforms with direct chain and frequent posts. This avenue can be helpful not only progressive but also help those who talk about the corner of the Democratic Party.
At this time there is a better fight with a great message. A small but growing number of people committed in the country has shown a way out of refusing to remain silent or behind.
New York FBI’s Field Office James E. Daniei vowed to “dig” the agency to defend the agency to target agents working on January 6. “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of one of our fighting. Since good people are being expelled from the FBI and others are being targeted because they have done their job according to the law and the FBI policy. He has written to the employees of the office.
David Labrick, a senior government employee of the Treasury Department, refused to comply with the requests of the workers of Kasturi. USAID’s security director John Worhesh and his deputy also refused to access the information to the Musk employees and were put on leave. He also retired after putting Mr. Labrick on leave.
One of the first public operations in the opening prayer service from Washington’s Epscopal Dysi Bishop Marian Edgar Badee came to Washington’s opening prayer, which fought Mr Trump with his face, and from it, and immigrants and homosexuals. He asked for mercy to fans, gay and transgender children, and all in the country were scared.
“Was something going to say?” Later he asked the Times.
In the coming days, this question is ringing in our ears.
