She has more guts than the entire democrat party in the house and senate

Out of curiosity, what do you want them to do?

They speak out, but most MSM in this country is owned by the billionaires and don't report it or back burner it. And republicans control Congress and block any attempts at accountability.

Remember when DHS wasn't funded? Dems put out no less than nine standalone bills to fund it and each time it was blocked by republicans because they wanted to give ICE more authority. Republicans also blocked legislation to release the Epstein files.

So the Republicans can block the Democrats, but the Democrats cannot block the Republicans? Not that long ago, the Democrats controlled the White House, Senate, and House. They have no excuses.

Republicans block democrats because it's easier to block something being built than something being destroyed.

Trump has gutted multiple orgs simply by firing everybody involved and/or denying funding. There are a ton of ways you can utterly hamstring operations of organizations without any authorization from Congress, but to actually build things you tend to need 60 votes and they democrats haven't had that since a brief 60 day window during Obama's days (over a decade ago) when they passed the ACA.

Of course people like you don't care about that, you just want to pretend you're smarter than the rest and above the fray as you try to act like both sides are exactly the same. Thinking and paying attention to nuance are very hard after all!
