Pardon my Ignorance on Some of this...

So The House is not in session.
(FU, Miikey)

But can The Democrats actually go into the House chamber, and make llspeeches? To keep issues in the news; whom ever might cover them - public radio, pod casters, some main stream media.

The idea would be to keep issues on thepublic's eye.

reading a boring script — even if 100% true — and threatening to send stern letters. Same goes for other officials.

Since we lost elections, think our leaders should have had frequent— maybe weekly — self-produced programs on media, and they should have immediately produced a Dem Project 2026/2028.

While House is shut down, our Reps should be on Capitol steps every morning, ready to work.
