We’re not giving up without a fight!” This message conveyed her active involvement and support from the front lines as Democrats sought to delay a vote.
Later that day, at 16:03 UTC, Sewell posted another tweet emphasizing bipartisan cooperation. She urged Republican colleagues by stating: “All we need are FOUR House Republicans who are willing to put the American people over Donald Trump!” This call was aimed at swaying members across party lines for broader consensus against what she refers to as “Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.”
At 17:50 UTC on the same day, Sewell expressed gratitude towards Leader Jeffries for highlighting individual stories affected by legislation. She wrote: “Grateful to Leader Jeffries for sharing Talise’s story and recognizing our fight against the Big Ugly Bill!” This reflects her appreciation for personal narratives being used as powerful tools in legislative debates.
