We have more accountability.
We can call them in.
We can demand change.
We have more control over the appropriations.
Right now, what we are seeing in this country is the Republicans in control have abdicated their role in Congress to this administration and doing whatever the bidding of this administration, whatever it wants to do.
And that's how the process works.
That's who we are as Americans.
That's what this is about.
That's what this country is.
And that's worth fighting for.
Whether we win the policy debate or we win the messaging war, the end of the day, it's do we win as a country?
Do we win when we say no more to this administration sending these thugs into our communities?
And we can do that as a country when we elect and make change.
Yeah, that's a fair question.
And I think the problem here is a lot bigger, right?
Of course, not only do we want these reforms, but we want to be able to ensure we can enforce the administration to follow these reforms.
And we have seen in the past a lack of trust from this administration.
They say one thing and do another.
So it is a valid point.
And it is something that not just members of Congress, but I think the American public are grappling with and why they are demanding change in the elected leaders.
