They were brilliant as well! You should watch more of the Senate hearings to see what the Democrats are actually doing. These hearings didn't just pop up today, they have been ongoing. Not just Patel but Noem, McMahon, Hogsbreath and so many more.

Everyone should take a break from their keyboards and actually look and see what is happening in real life and how our Democrats are addressing these issues.

They have a voice, and they are using it.
