    of particular note here is the size of this town-hall–over 2,000 in attendance, apparently, which Crow says is by far the largest he’s even had:

    About 1,400 people packed into the main auditorium, with a few hundred more watching from a screen in an auxiliary room. Several audience members pushed Crow on the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, saying they were skeptical of the cuts and the vilification of government workers.

    Crow told reporters that this was his biggest town hall in his four terms in congress—by two or three times.

    the grassroots energy to oppose this stuff is clearly there, but it remains to be seen what Democrats do or if they get the memo as an entire party

      We need new blood from the democrats. The old corporate democrat bull shit gave us Trump. They need to step aside for the progressive wing. The young people want that and a lot of the older folks feel the same if you drill past their 80s socialism propaganda programming. We want a new “New Deal,” not more corporate apologist bull shit. The billionaires and corporations have proven all they can do is abuse the public trust. We need strong protections to keep money out of politics first and foremost.
