Democrats keep trying to make federal worker victimhood happen. No matter how often they’re told it’s not happening, they keep tripling, quadrupling and decupling down on it.
Next up is Trump’s speech to Congress.
Some Senate and House Dems are planning to boycott it.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), one of the most senior Democrats in the Senate, will not attend Trump’s speech on Tuesday, Axios has learned
Neither will Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who will instead host an online town hall.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told Axios he is leaning against attending the speech because “when Trump does it, it’s not a serious event.”
“We want to make [clear] that things are not business as usual. Things are falling apart,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), a DPCC co-chair who is undecided on attending.
Nearly a dozen House and Senate Democrats told Axios they are either leaning against attending the speech or undecided.
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) all declined to commit to attending.
So did Reps. Don Beyer (D-Va.), Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.).
At least that’s a smarter plan than trying to bring America’s least favorite victims in it for media coverage.
Democrats on Capitol Hill have bashed President Trump over mass federal firings since the first dismissals began in January. On Tuesday, they’re hoping to hold a human mirror to what that policy has done.
When Trump addresses a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, he’ll be staring into a packed House chamber featuring not only Republican allies and Democratic adversaries, but also a host of former federal employees who were recently laid off by Elon Musk and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The fired workers will be there at the invitation of Democrats in both chambers — a strategy that represents just the latest piece of a broader campaign to highlight the real-world effects that Trump’s early policy moves are having on Americans who live far outside the Beltway.
Oh the horror, the humanity, the hollowness. How many Americans lost their jobs when Democrats shut down entire states during the pandemic? Three-quarter of a million Americans lost their jobs last year in the Biden economy. Only D.C. Dems could imagine fired federal workers becoming a crusade.
Yep. Just point out what the fired fed use to be paid to do.
Are the seats going to be large enough?
The children are showing their immaturity by throwing this little tantrum because they lost power and just can’t adapt.
Yup...going to be the wrong look for them.
The citizenship actually doesn’t give a darn about these folks losing their jobs.
Why? We have all been in that position at some point in our lives. I just don’t care about their elite, rude, bad attitude workers. I just don’t.
Hmm. Leadership of both houses of Congress should schedule votes during a planned intermission of the President’s presentation, to overcome the democrats’ filibuster of the previous votes.
“Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), one of the most senior Democrats in the Senate, will not attend Trump’s speech on Tuesday, Axios has learned”
I will never forget this bitch praising Osama Bin-Laden after the 911 attacks and incredibly she is still in office. “Osama Bin-Laden has done good for his people, he’s built roads, built schools” Too bad he didn’t fly a jet plane up Pattys rotten sick ass.
Corruption, waste, crime and mismanagement is the hill the Democrats want to die on. Let’s collectively help them achieve their goals.
What color will Nancy make the women wear this time ? LOl
These spoiled brat lefties need some serious discipline.
...and we thought Al Gore was a sore loser!
Globalist Wall Street is having a tantrum.
how is anybody gonna know who they are??...dumb idea.
Should be a colorful evening.....
The same Feds that said they’ll sell secrets to Russia/China ?
Senator Murray to High School Students in WA:
“[Bin Laden] has been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. He’s made their lives better.”
When the pipeline workers suddenly lost their jobs, the Dems and media responded by saying “learn to code”
They applauded Clinton when he cut jobs.
There is no widespread public sympathy for federal workers any more than other workers.
I suspect Trump will acknowledge the fired workers and remind them about the meaningful and enjoyable work in the private sector they will find in the future.
