@whitehouse.senate.gov Take note and tell Reed.

FINALLY

studiogrodin.bsky.social•96 days ago

The fact that they needed brainstorm on this is a fucking problem. This is a knife fight? Then why are they bringing butter knives against men with chainsaws?

drjoep.bsky.social•97 days ago

Something...

scienceplease.bsky.social•96 days ago

There. A Democrat with balls. Perfect start. Now get shit moving!

tja19.bsky.social•97 days ago

It's about time someone in the party is doing something.

goldenozaru.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yes, something needs to be done, but I just feel like this is a juvenile solution to the Republicans immaturity. We need at least one 'adult' from each side to sit everyone down and make more of an effort to get us on the same page

redstateliberal.bsky.social•97 days ago

Which adult from Trump’s White House did you have in mind? Cause the Republicans in Congress have no power.

goldenozaru.bsky.social•97 days ago

Senator Thune seems rational, and seems to at least have a functioning brain

redstateliberal.bsky.social•97 days ago

He can’t make anything happen unless Trump lets him. He can’t negotiate anything on his own.

chanosky.bsky.social•97 days ago

As a minority, our representatives in both chambers need to exactly what republicans did when they were in the same position: exercise obstinate, relentless ostracism to everything.

janepor00325520.bsky.social•97 days ago

Thank you, Senator Schatz.

cs24-25.bsky.social•97 days ago

Trump will push them through in recess appointments

weirdotrump.bsky.social•97 days ago

Everyone needs to file a fraud complaint with Social Security due to this gross breach of your private data. Here’s the link:

I completely support Sen. Schatz!
All ELECTED DEMOCRATS should be holding the line. DO NOT support Republicans & the insane agenda of Musk & Trump. We’re looking at you 👀
Listed below, who put the Treasury & all our personal data in the hands of a domestic terrorist.

heyjude408.bsky.social•97 days ago

YES!Senator Schatz understands the assignment. Plus he's from Hawaii and we all know Hawaii is no ka oi. 🤙

deportmusk.bsky.social•97 days ago

This is a serious fight for our future.

nomadicace.bsky.social•97 days ago

Glad to see someone making the slightest effort to help USAID. Meanwhile the rest of Congress seems silent.

paulliemoonbeam.bsky.social•97 days ago

Especially *MY* useless congressswoman, Debbie Dingell, whose job it IS to coordinate policy and communications for the congressional dems, as chair of the DPCC.

And, my two "Democratic" senators have voted to approve Trump nominees.

Schatz is the man, baby!

hillarymaroon.bsky.social•96 days ago

Remember your history, Senators!

greencentaur.bsky.social•97 days ago

It’s only ONE!!!

acornalley.bsky.social•97 days ago

It’s a start!!

houseofgames.bsky.social•95 days ago

but then dont they get "acting" status, instead of potentially getting rejected? Am I wrong... ?

houseofgames.bsky.social•96 days ago

Even my closest friends are in denial, saying the Dems have to do things gently and be bipartisan to avoid shocking the citizens. There is nothing, nothing that will wake up some of my fellow Dems. I suppose it is their survival mechanism.

houseofgames.bsky.social•96 days ago

I took copious notes from that podcast. I am bringing them with me to the next Indivisible meeting. I dont expect to be heard or respected, btw.

bumborassclth.bsky.social•96 days ago

Hold!
Hold!
Hold!
Hold!
Hold!
Hold!
Hold!……….,,

Just as they have upended the definition of woke, maybe it’s time to transform DEI as a phrase into Didn’t Earn It, and start calling out these DEI Trump appointees.

goldenozaru.bsky.social•97 days ago

Hell, they've done nothing but co-opt our phrases for years! Thats an excellent idea

acornalley.bsky.social•97 days ago

Excellent! Wish I’d thought of that, Congratulations - my favorite post of the day 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷😉

furgiuele.bsky.social•96 days ago

While Joe and Mika claim Trump was masterful in his “opening bid” on tariffs. Propaganda. Sycophants.

furgiuele.bsky.social•96 days ago

Finally a strong move! It’s about time.

foxesofwi.bsky.social•97 days ago

More more more more more more more more

joaoarroz.bsky.social•96 days ago

Stop playing by the rules. They no longer apply.

kevinc13.bsky.social•97 days ago

About time.

sabu1919.bsky.social•97 days ago

DEMAND FOR EI0N TO GET DEPORTED!!!!!

we-are-toast.bsky.social•97 days ago

A start, but Trump's got Rubio and doesn't care about the others. If Dems try to stop everything, McConnell will use the nuclear option.

acornalley.bsky.social•97 days ago

Time democrats use a little nuclear of their own.
BIPARTISANSHIP IS DEAD! Phucking time to support your constituents!
Don’t enable the domestic terrorists in the WH, Congress, Senate & those stripping the treasury of data & our tax dollars.
Democrats are helping to compromise our safety!

we-are-toast.bsky.social•97 days ago

"Democrats are helping to compromise our safety!"
Dems need to be pushed, not attacked like they're the enemy.

cmnsnse.bsky.social•96 days ago

Keith is 100% right and dems need to listen up. articles of impeachment, Sunday news conferences with yelling, make everything as slow and difficult as possible for the fascists. for gods sake dems they are handing you an arsenal, use it! again, with yelling.

newalnow.bsky.social•97 days ago

Finally!

paulliemoonbeam.bsky.social•97 days ago

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jaggerisadruid.bsky.social•97 days ago

I just called his office and spoke to one of his aides. The information in the article was not confirmed by the aide, but it was not denied either. Nonetheless, I asked that the senator be thanked if the rumors turn out to be true. 292-224-3934 if you want to make a call yourself.

xcott.bsky.social•97 days ago

Since we’re playing Authoritarian Rule Bingo:

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Who has Martial Law, Revoke 1st Amendment, Revoke 2nd Amm., and Establish Rule by Monarchy?
