Rep. Stansbury is a Hero

In this clip Rep Stansbury (D) of New Mexico 1st district absolutely dismantles the entire scam that eLoon and TSF are doing. She also exposed the spineless cowards and their bills they are forcing through to help them.

Every American should be required to watch this video. Some should watch it at least twice.

Between Rep Stansbury and Rep Crockett and Rep AOC in the House and Senator Murray and Senator Duckworth, the women of Congress are showing their colleagues what having a spine looks like and how to resist and challenge these assholes

I live in her district and we are so proud of her. She gets it, and is trying to spell it out for the American people. We need to flip those seats in the special elections and take control of the House. I am not certain we can wait until the midterms. Too much damage is being done.

Rep Stansbury was a budget examiner at OMB; she is an actual expert, not a techbro ideologue.

Folks, this is a scam.

The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.

Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

If only we could take this 5 minute presentation and use it as a prime time commercial.
