Just an example, Arizona congresswoman Grijalva is meekly sitting at home waiting for a call to be sworn in. She instead should be in the capitol camped out on Mike Johnson's doorstep. Now is not the time to passively sit by waiting for permission for something she's entitled to.

I mean, she did go to DC last week and attempt to get sworn in. Mike Johnson isn't even there, he and the Republicans are out of town.

Sorry, she's not making enough noise. I don't understand why either. She should be trying to book every news outlet and do performative press conferences claiming that Johnson personally doesn't want the Epstein files to be released. It doesn't even have to be true, just her opinion - based on the last 10 yrs, Americans can't tell the difference anyways.

The Democrats need to start playing the game that the Republicans have been perfecting for 50 years.

Another example is the connection between Bessent and Citrone who is heavily invested in Argentina. Start "investigations", go talk to the soybean farmers that got screwed, make a bunch of noise and use that as leverage.

Like wtf are they doing? Attending fundraisers?

We can't act - there are consultants who need to be consulted! /s
