Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

He actually said yesterday that the January 6th defendants were victims of an attack by law enforcement. that they were not the ones who actually assaulted law enforcement. He is literally trying to whitewash history and to convince Americans that what they see with their own eyes is not what they're really seeing. And of course, we all know what that's for, Ben, and why he's doing that.

As he is installing Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, people who have made already representations and sworn to do his dirty work. He does not want there to be any accountability for their efforts at revenge and retribution to allow him to effectively take full control of the federal government. That is what this process is setting up. And it is very clear that's where he's going.

Yeah, there are actual signs of hope. And I don't want everybody to be too discouraged. Your voice matters. Our voices matter. You look at what happened with the freeze of the Office of Management and Budget and all federal funding being frozen.

There was an uproar from everyday Americans all across the spectrum when their Social Security payments were stopped, when their SNAP food benefits were stopped, when the Medicare and Medicaid portals were not available. when every single nonprofit organization that depends on already promised government funding stopped receiving it. And they rescinded that memo.

So that is yet another example of how our voices can matter. The courts so far are encouraging, and I hope they hold. And then, you know, we have a budget coming up. We have government funding is expiring March 14th. And traditionally the Republicans have been unable to pass a budget themselves, even though they're in the majority.

And so if they do come to us to seek our help to fund, you know, to get this budget across, they're going to have to be open to putting some of our priorities in there. And so at that point, we get to have some leverage to take some corrective action against all of these lawless efforts.

Well, thanks for having me, Ben. It's always great to be with you. And thanks to all your subscribers for being engaged. How we save our democracy is everybody leaning in a little bit more. Don't put your head under the pillow as tempting as it is. We've got to fight back and we've got to fight back hard.
