Congressman Mark DeSaulnier will host a town hall in Lafayette on Thursday, August 21, at 6:30 p.m. with special guest Congressman Jim McGovern, the top Democrat on the House Committee on Rules. The discussion will focus on how House Democrats are using legislative tools to counter the policies of Congressional Republicans and the Trump Administration. The event will include updates on recent developments in Congress, such as the “impacts of Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill” and GOP leadership’s efforts to block release of the Epstein files.” Both Members will also take questions from constituents. The town hall will run from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Lafayette, with the exact location provided upon RSVP. Attendance is limited and advance registration is required at desaulnier.house.gov/town-hall-rsvp or by calling (925) 933-2660.

Hey Marky, did I get that right?
Perhaps he can answer why a liberal judge won’t allow the release of the Epstein grand jury transcripts?
Because grand jury testimony is rarely, if ever released. Especially if any of the defendants are still being investigated, tried, or appealing.
This useless turkey is gobbling up the wrong tree.
Mark, your cigar toting wonderboy is the poster child for Epstein Island, complete with his portrait in a dress. Maybe mention ole Bill once in awhile? Also, your party had complete control over the files for four years, and did squat.
If Trump wants to use the list as a bargaining tool against world leaders, so be it. We all know if he did as much as look at a girl, it would have been all over every propaganda news outlet 24/7.
Your party has cried wolf one too many times. You’re done.
With politicians like Mort DeSourair is it any wonder why California is such a dismal disaster, these days?
Yeah Mark, let’s get a civil war going. The way the “dems” are acting it’s way things are going much to delight of the “demigod” billionaire elite fools. Might try some compromise. It thought that was the way things were supposed to work. Fat chance.
Congressman Mark DeSaulnier stated at a previous townhall what the agenda was for Democrats in Congress to fight the agenda of President Donald Trump, it’s to “AGITATE, AGITATE, AGITATE” and “TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS IN THE COURTS.” With the separation of powers and the Courts being a separate branch of the government, Democrats (and Republicans) shouldn’t have any “PARTNERS” in the Courts.

As far as the “Epstein Files” go, why didn’t Congressman Mark DeSaulnier spend the last 5-years demanding that they be released? It’s because they weren’t a political tool that he could use in an attempt to pummel President Trump during the Biden Administration, and now they are. Mark, demand the release of the “Epstein Files” because it’s the right thing to do, and not because you believe it’s for political gain.

Mark, you’re only in office today because Republican voters elected you to the Concord City Council in 1991. I still remember when you and Councilmembers Lloyd Mashore and Nancy Gore were on the front page of the Contra Costa Times with the headline stating there were now 3 Republicans on the Concord City Council. It was in 1994, when Republican Governor Pete Wilson picked you from obscurity and appointed you to fill the Sunne McPeak vacancy on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors as a Republican. You were elected to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors in 1994 and 1998 as a Republican. In the year 2000, at the urging of then Congressman George Miller III, you switched parties and became a Democrat, so that you could further your political career by making it easier for you to keep being elected and having the opportunity to seek and win election to higher office. You were reelected as a Democrat to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors in 2002, then elected to the California State Assembly in 2006, the California State Senate in 2008 and 2012, and to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024. You spent your first 30-years of adulthood as a Republican and your last 25 years of adulthood as a Democrat. President Trump was a Republican, then a Reformer, then a Democrat, then a Republican again, then an Independent, and then a Republican again. You’ve both been Democrats and you’ve both been Republicans, so you’re one of the few Democrats in Congress today, who should actually be able to work with President Trump on something, but it appear that you don’t want to work with him on anything, even if it’s something that you want and support, because you’ve been given the instructions to “AGITATE, AGITATE, AGITATE.”
This radical Leftist out of touch with reality ass, just keeps on proving he is unfit for public office, period.
Stupid person doing stupid things and only lunatics follow. must suck having that much hate in you.
Based on the tone of your comment, sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.
wow, throwing rocks on something you know nothing about. I have listened to Mark for ten years and he gets worse and worse every time and now his TDS is showing. Let’s try this on for size like normal people do…Let’s try to work with things that come at us rather than rail against them just because they don’t fit our agenda. Myself and a tremendous amount of my brothers and sisters in Ca put up with Gavin and that potato you put in the White house for the last four years so maybe Mark can stop the fear mongering and start becoming a productive part of society rather than some doom and gloom stupid person always crying “the sky is falling”
Just a thought.
I want to see the files. Wholly, completely
and without redactions. Simple,
got nothing to hide, hide nothing. 🤷♂️
Just tell the truth & let the chips fall where they may.
What a great idea.
Real story is Ghislaine Maxwell has been granted work release leave from the lesser security “prison” the Trump Admin transferred her to. She’s a convicted sex trafficking offender. WTF?
Forgot to add to previous post that I’m hoping the work release for Maxwell is fake news but there seems to be no firm confirmation either way.
Funny, there is plenty to target with the GOPe agenda, but the democrat agenda is colossally worse. I wish our district had a decent representative, like Rep. McClintock or Rep. Kiley. Instead, we get this useless parrot.
Actully it’s POS! There I fixed it for you.
Mark, I see you spending your time on what the party tells you. How about thinking about your everyday voters here in CA and what we need. I know you think the Bill was ugly, your told to say that, but some people won’t have taxes taken from their tips. When is your town hall to address regular residents pain points and the legislation your working on to help us? Utility costs, insurance costs, permit costs, good infrastructure, public safety are a few ideas for you. I’m sure your sheep will enjoy your town hall.
Mark DeSaulnier never leaves the Amen Corner anymore. Every town hall he has is in Lafayette and it is always about “Stopping Trump” or some other pointless nonsense. Just more tap dancing for the people who still give you money I guess. It would be refreshing if you had a town hall in another city in Contra Costa where perhaps you are not as fawned over, so you can hear from some of your other constituents, there are many of us that care about things that directly affect live here in CCC and what you can do to help make it better. Many of us would rather move on from “resistance” BS and just tackle some issues we can all agree on, like bringing down crime.
Hey maybe next town hall can be at 6 pm at a jewelry store at Sun Valley Mall?
