The Republican Congress has to go!

from On Democracy with FPWellman · host Fred Wellman

It has been an absolutely catastrophic week in the United States from the raid on Venezuela and Trump’s continuing absured claims on their oil, threats against Denmark, and even worse the killing of an innocent civilian in Minneapolis by an ICE agent. Increasingly we are seeing the fallout of an out of control Executive branch with no oversight or pushback from the Republican Doormat Congress at all. This Congress has all but walked away from their Constitutional duty and act like they are simply spokespeople and influencers for Donald Trump and not representatives of their constituents. Well, we are finally in the midterms election years and it’s time to rally Democrats and democracy lovers to flip the Congress. Fred is joined by Kelly Dietrich who is the founder and CEO of the National Democratic Training Committee, which is not affiliated with the DNC, an independent organization providing guidance for anyone to run, staff, or support a campaign at any level. They will discuss how Democrats should approach these thorny issues, where the fight will unfold, and how folks can step up in this moment. If you find yourself asking…what can I do? Well…this is the place to start. Learn more at https://traindems.org.
