Can something be done now? Like when are we going to be able to impeach or enact the 25th amendment. How many times did they do that with Biden. Let’s get this fucker. Or at least hold hearings. Something to get him more pissed and break more laws. Like we have to be able to do something here

oldeluke.bsky.social•70 days ago

"Is?" Has, he has repeatedly overstepped his power since January 20th.

Might be time for the Congressional Democrats to do something about it.

stringbasstheory.bsky.social•70 days ago

Remind Congress that this is their Article I responsibility. Don't tell us, tell Congress

bluchihuahua.bsky.social•70 days ago

But I'm loving Harvard standing strong!!

r0siether1veter.bsky.social•70 days ago

If only there was something that elected Dems in Congress could do... (sarcasm)

How so? If a university wants federal funding then they have to follow federal guidelines. Harvard has enough foreign funding to operate but Harvard can choose to go fully independent like Hillsdale College.

dustinheron.bsky.social•70 days ago

And?

scoundrel2.bsky.social•70 days ago

so what are you doing about it?

janerow35.bsky.social•70 days ago

Of course he did. Maga voted to destroy our great country.

kfanyo.bsky.social•70 days ago

No. Der Flumpenführer is abusing his powers and the people whom he thinks he has power over.

It's not a mistake or a misstep. It's a lifestyle.

And the lifestyle of Der Flumpenführer is, first, foremost, and always, that of an abuser.

nickthehoneybadger.bsky.social•70 days ago

Collaborators. You enabled him.

jwhesse.bsky.social•70 days ago

Maybe you could just say he’s breaking the law (the Civil Rights Act). “Overstepping his power” doesn’t mean much these days.

bluchihuahua.bsky.social•70 days ago

True dat

es44ac.bsky.social•70 days ago

Don’t call out the obvious, do something about it!

donna30.bsky.social•70 days ago

He doesn’t acknowledge limits on his power. It’s time for Congress to act!!!

dovishhawk.bsky.social•70 days ago

Thanks for narrating…

luposapien.bsky.social•70 days ago

It's wild how much more you guys care about the ivy league losing grants than literal American citizens being disappeared for political reasons

mccod034.bsky.social•70 days ago

Duh do something stop saying your the minority DO Something

joandinfla.bsky.social•70 days ago

Good for Harvard refusing to be intimidated by the Felon in Chief. Everyone should take a lesson from that and stop bending the knee to fear and threats. Bullies keep bullying until the targets stop accommodating them.

nathanmerch.bsky.social•70 days ago

And you’re going nothing about it. Why?

cameronlmitchell.bsky.social•70 days ago

... and what are you doing about it?

bestbuckleup.bsky.social•70 days ago

AGAIN!

dimondlee.bsky.social•70 days ago

You think???

732lighthouse.bsky.social•70 days ago

Trump & team are determined to destroy democracy/freedom/protection & replace it with an authoritarian regime/billionaire oligarchy. Like all dictatorships it’s much easier to control uneducated/indoctrinated ppl.

dominiondem.bsky.social•70 days ago

Republicans continue their assault on science and the facts. They are NOT punishing Harvard; they are punishing the masses that benefit from scientific research. It is promoting the Dark Ages!

oldlady65.bsky.social•70 days ago

I just don't understand why no one is stopping him, he needs to be removed from office and it has to be done now. What kind of people do we have in Congress and in the Senate that they're just sitting there letting him do all this. They need to grow a set of balls and stand up to him.

mrsdewinter.bsky.social•70 days ago

They're Republicans. They don't give a shit.

klauskacke.bsky.social•70 days ago

Dear US citizens!You are allowed to start petitions and to contact your politicians,e.g. via phone and mail.With enough power you can bring up new elections, legal and without violence.Your voice is stronger than you think. Build groups, be united! You are stronger! https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC

skip93.bsky.social•70 days ago

You need to be holding hearings on Abrego Garcia. Don’t just sit there and do nothing.

beaufighter.bsky.social•70 days ago

Who would call for those hearings?

ws9789837973.bsky.social•70 days ago

How would they hold a hearing when they do not control any committees?

skip93.bsky.social•70 days ago

They can if they’re smart. Early this year democrats had a chance to subpoena Elon Musk but they failed.

Is that the same Ro Khanna who’s been headlining at Bernie’s eat the rich tambourine jamboree, perchance?

skip93.bsky.social•70 days ago

Yup, that’s him

alsowonderwoman.bsky.social•70 days ago

Who decides what hearings are held in the House? And the Senate? The majority party. Which are republicans. Because 2/3rds of voters didn't give a fuck.

skip93.bsky.social•70 days ago

They can if they’re smart and willing to fight.

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/05/congress/dems-try-to-subpoena-musk-00202777

alsowonderwoman.bsky.social•70 days ago

Yeah unless someone like khanna fails to show up then the vote fails.

jayjay827.bsky.social•70 days ago

Looks like everyone was willing to fight but Ro Khanna.

Shocking, eh? 🙄

skip93.bsky.social•70 days ago

It’s really a question of are they even willing to fight. Not as individuals like Chris van Hollen but as a party.

Fine, they don’t have committees but they can go on news, social media and blow this up. Republicans know how to make mountains out of molehills. Democrats do the exact opposite.
