I think there's no choice.
I mean, I think the Congress has to, there's no other way of moving forward.
And I think what I've been encouraging, not just our leadership, but our own oversight committee and the ranking file is one thing that's very important in this moment is as we build this next agenda, as we move towards elections, as we move to next year, what we cannot do
is forget about holding these people accountable.
It's not just about moving forward.
We cannot move forward without ensuring that every single person in this country and the history books understand that these people are criminals.
They need to be held in contempt.
They need to be put to trial.
They need to be dragged in front of committees and in Congress, because we cannot allow the next generation to think that this moment wasn't as serious and as led by such evil people as it is right now.
And so, yes, I do believe that Democrats in the caucus have to, have no choice, but to move forward with intensity and fire and unity, because that's what not just our voters in the country is demanding,
That's what our families, I'm talking to my uncles and grandparents and folks that are like, what the fuck are you doing?
You guys should be out there chaining yourselves to the White House.
I'm hearing it every single day.
And so I agree with you.
And I am just as angry as the base and our voters.
And I think there's a new generation of Democrats that are pushing as hard as we can and helping move our caucus in that direction.
And we're gonna do it every single day.
Look, he can pardon whoever he wants, but at the end of the day, every single one of these folks that have caused harm, we're gonna ensure that they're held accountable to the public and that they meet justice.
When we talk about someone like Stephen Miller, who for me, he will be the first person that we subpoena on the oversight committee.
When we have control of subpoena on day one, we're gonna drag Stephen Miller in front of our committee and hold him accountable, not just through the committee in Congress, but through the courts.
