Citizens in GOP districts where cowardly representatives refuse to do Town Hall Mtgs should set up their own well-publicized and videoed mtgs, using a classic 'empty chair' in place of their absent representative. Demand facts, answers, and accountability - and invite news coverage.

All these priorities help real American people not billionaires so republicans are never going to agree to any of this. And I don’t think either foxes or possums are good avatars. Democrats should be like pack wolves or clans of killer whales, banding to together to bring down the prey.

In my mind’s eye, I see Zelensky explaining to Vance and Trump that he negotiated a deal with Putin in 2019, and Putin didn’t fulfill his commitments.

Once Trump and the Republicans get what they want from Democrats, they’re going to do as they please, right? As it is now, the Republicans seem to be willing to relinquish the power of the purse. If they aren’t willing to enforce their Congressional role, any deal with them will be worthless. What am I missing?
