These Democrats Aren't Afraid Of Trump. Not One Bit.
Onward.
We are 8 days into Trump’s return, and it’s clear as day that the pushback from Democrats is disjointed, and needs to be much stronger. But there are some absolute bright spots: outspoken, forceful, determined leaders, who will never cower to Donald.
If we want to get serious about winning this fight against maga, these are the types of champions we’ll need to rally behind.
US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has been an extremely effective messenger, who triggers maga at a baffling level. AOC’s slams get viral news coverage, and she knows how to cut through the nonsense better than most anybody out there.
Just last week, AOC called out the Broligarchs who once criticized Trump, saying they’re now in a “kiss-ass race,” and enjoying “a billionaire feeding frenzy.” AOC also dropped the mic on Donald, calling him “the quintessential New York con man.”
When Trump threw a tantrum about Colombia’s president refusing to accept deported immigrants, AOC said: “Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee,” and cause inflation to be “worse for working class Americans.” Spot on.
Then there’s US Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who truly knows how to command an audience. Crockett constantly takes on Marge Greene, Nancy Mace and the rest of the maga cult—during hearings and in public. In Crockett’s DNC speech, she said Trump “is a career criminal, with 34 felonies, 2 impeachments, and 1 porn star to prove it.”
“If you’re looking for me to sugarcoat the reality we’re facing, I can’t do that,” Crockett recently told Harper’s Bazaar.
US Sen. Tammy Duckworth has been taking on Republicans in ways few others could. A Purple Heart recipient, who lost her legs and severely injured her arm in battle, Duckworth said: “Trump is despicable. He doesn’t deserve to be commander-in-chief.”
On cabinet picks, Duckworth took the gloves off, saying Tulsi Gabbard is “compromised,” and doubts “she could actually pass a background check.” Duckworth’s also sounding the alarm about the most unhinged nominee, Kash Patel—warning he’d use “law enforcement to seek retribution against his political enemies.”
And as always, US Sen. Elizabeth Warren continues to completely decimate Trump on his corruption, and long list of failed promises. Just last night, Warren blasted Trump: “his failure to even try and move in the direction of lowering [grocery] costs is a betrayal of the American people.”
These are the kind of fighters we need in the Democratic Party. But we must have a united front. We can’t have seven Democrats voting for cult members, like they did with Kristi Noem.
We’re still pushing hard on our massive contact Congress campaign. Our Watchdog Coalition has already sent more than 126,000 letters to Senators—demanding they oppose Trump’s most unhinged nominees.
This week, the confirmation hearing for Kennedy is on Wednesday, while Gabbard and Patel will be held on Thursday. So we have a lot of work to do.
We’ve been taking on Donald for almost 9 years now, and we aren’t going to stop now.
We don’t have billionaire backers or sponsors pushing us to run bogus ads. We are completely independent, pro-democracy journalists, who deliver tangible results—every single day.
But we need your help. All of our work is funded by our paid subscribers, so if you haven’t yet and you’re able, please join us as one today:
