It could be here for hours, but a challenge for for Democrats is not just defending institutions. I am angry at what they're doing, but I'm not sure doing a rally in front of a building is the most important thing.

More communicating, using your channels to communicate the impact of what that is with human stories, real people's stories of how they're being denied small business loans or other things, or their prices are going up. or they're worried about the health of their children. You know, that I think is really crucial, but also it's really important to say what you would do.

Well, the truth is that, I mean, we will put out our agenda, but obviously it's like thousands upon thousands of conversations, right? It's leaders in the House taking them up. But, you know, I'd be interested. It's really interesting right now. You know, governors are reaching out for what do we say about immigration, particularly because they want to criticize what Trump is doing.

You know, governors are reaching out for what do we say about immigration, particularly because they want to criticize what Trump is doing.

But I think they also feel a little bit of insecurity about answering, you know, what do you do about immigration writ large or what do you do about the border and other things? So You know, our ideas, which we'll be putting out very shortly, are how to fix the broken immigration system. And the truth is our system is broken in multiple dimensions, and we have to be able to make that case.

But we really think the focus should be what is the problem and how are we fixing it?

And, you know, we both worked for political leaders who got up every day and thought, you know, when there's a big problem, the country has to solve it.
