What are congressional members saying?

This comes up a lot in that people claim that Democrats are being strangely silent (never mind that they're often simply not booked onto shows for a range of reasons and that there are a lot of outlets that people do speak with that don't get full on mass coverage), but one useful tool is this one:

It's the kind of thing that should get embedded in the left column of the site.

anything ESP on DU . The posters are not looking but want it brought into their search field or else it doesn't seem to them it exists which means time to get critical not research further
I had to repost a statement made yesterday afternoon a few times here in answer to that question including the recent strangely silent one this morning

Thanks for the link . I see Raja from the suburbs commenting. I did not see that one before but I'm not counting and I'm not looking to turn the hand around to point a finger at democrats right now. Some of our reps may be offended beyond words or not want to elevate Trump bs further

It's very bothersome that people say nothing is being said because it's not on their TV in front of them at the moment or being shouted from every media outlet.

Those that act like that I tend to think are simply trolling and not really Democrats.
