We have to let it crumble. Otherwise we will be cast as against fraud waste and abuse. Let’s just redevelop the Democratic Party and be ready.

Show your 1st amendment right! Flip the flag upside down as a distress signal. Our country is under siege from trump, musk & the gop.
They're firing highly qualified military & federal employees. They are draining the cesspool to fill his cabinet & replace the highly qualified with the unqualified.

demsrock2024.bsky.social•59 days ago

This makes me so very sad. One of our dreams for retirement was to travel the US and visit all the National Parks 😢. Not sure what we will find in a year or two …

mesimko.bsky.social•59 days ago

Let’s stop talking and start taking action! How is one person able to manhandle millions of human beings? In this wide world, why is no one able to stop this subhuman from trampling us to death? We must end this hell with a unity in action. Strength is in numbers versus weakness in empty words.

America is under attack by the greedy.

insomniafocus.bsky.social•59 days ago

Dems been telling us play nice since Reagan & now 45 years later, how'd that go? Americans are freaked for loved ones being arrested deported disappeared fired penniless homeless by two drugged up fascists planning to stay in power til they die, cause who gon stop them? Schumer Dems playing nice?

ocbrooks.bsky.social•59 days ago

I agree.. but maybe let’s work on that after trump Et al. are legally removed from office…

They brought in billions in revenue. This is efficiency?

flyflicker.bsky.social•59 days ago

Donald says the US doesn't need Canada's lumber ... because there are so many American national parks to log. In order to do that quickly, it's important to get rid of the guardians of national parks. Done!

It's all part of the pattern.

obxtruenative.bsky.social•59 days ago

Definitely the plan. 😬

andytrask.bsky.social•59 days ago

As one of your constituents, I would much rather talk about how you will be removing Chuck Schumer from his position of minority leader, and about how you will refuse unanimous consent to any Republican legislative action.

tyrusdarius.bsky.social•58 days ago

This is why there never should’ve been 10 yes votes for cloture. This is the fight not just dems but Americans want look at gop town halls. This is why schumer cannot be leader anymore. You need to act on that and have him removed immediately

jjbrainstorm.bsky.social•59 days ago

Get rid of Schumer!

bessinaboutburbank.com•59 days ago

how about instead of talking you take action - like getting a spine

jenzunleashed.bsky.social•59 days ago

I continue to be more interested on talking about when Democrats in the Senate will remove Schumer from his minority leader role.

donellgmab.bsky.social•59 days ago

The Legislature is on recess, but maga is not.
#impeachtrump

saturdayknight49.bsky.social•59 days ago

Impeachment will never happen as long as Republicans are the majority in both House and Senate

#resist

justkathhere.bsky.social•59 days ago

We respectfully ask that Schumer be removed as minority leader. @schiff.senate.gov

amend6.bsky.social•59 days ago

I respectfully disagree. A government shutdown is in nobody’s best interests. The reason why business invests is because of stability and predictability and the full faith and credit of the US government. The Dollar is what powers the world economy. We are stable.

justkathhere.bsky.social•59 days ago

I didn't say remove him from the Senate. A leader does not change his mind 24 hours before a vote and throw his party into chaos.

amend6.bsky.social•59 days ago

I don’t think we are in chaos. Chaos is Trump disobeying court orders and Musk taking a wrecking ball to government agencies. What we have is conflicting paths and means for response. What strategy do we use to confront chaos? More chaos? Or level headedness? Keep govt open to expose Musk/Trump.

anon8675309.bsky.social•59 days ago

Plus, you need to make people give a shit. If they think their benefits are under attack, then they’ll care.

anon8675309.bsky.social•59 days ago

Worry about the parks AFTER you and the Dems have devoted all your efforts to getting people to focus on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and VA. First things first.

lindarn.bsky.social•59 days ago

I’m sorry about that but for Gods sake why aren’t there hearings about VA; Social Security; Medicare? Congress is lagging way behind here

trialchild.bsky.social•59 days ago

Senator, with all due respect this is a time to do, not talk. A good start would be disencumbering Sen. Schumer from leadership.

daroob.bsky.social•59 days ago

Let’s talk about getting him out of the White House immediately instead.

beitz.bsky.social•59 days ago

could trump be removed from office by ratifying an amendment this way?!?

"Article V:

… on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments …

… which … shall be valid … when ratified … by Conventions in three fourths thereof"

beitz.bsky.social•59 days ago

this would bypass:
- the need for a two-thirds majority of the house and senate
- the need for relying on three-fourths of state legislators ratifying the amendment

it would still require >50% "convention" majority in 38 states … but maybe that's possible !!!

and the fight would be worth it.

morphious65.bsky.social•58 days ago

Talk about it ?? That’s all you got ? Thats why the US is in this mess all talk no action

franram.bsky.social•59 days ago

I'm willing to bet you don't even check these comments. Posting online is useless right now. Hold some rallies get the people together! WTF are you waiting for?

jthomasrose.bsky.social•59 days ago

Concerning, but I think the blatant disregard for court orders should be the top priority. The normalizing of authoritarian rule seems to be displayed by most every leader today.

jodiejack.bsky.social•59 days ago

Glad you’re my senator!

dustinheron.bsky.social•59 days ago

You passed the CR and then went on vacation. Fuck you, Adam.

lorihartbeninger.bsky.social•59 days ago

Waste, fraud, and abuse? For every dollar spent by the government on a National Park, $10 is returned to the coffers. DOGE is riff with waste, fraud, and abuse. DOWN WITH DOGE!

lorihartbeninger.bsky.social•58 days ago

"rife" not "riff"

thatpoliticsgirl.bsky.social•58 days ago

How is this even happening? I'm starting to get so paranoid these days. It's a travesty what has happened to our once great land 💝

lulu-garcia.bsky.social•59 days ago

I’m starting to regret voting for you.

dana309.bsky.social•59 days ago

Talk, talk, talk. Today’s Democrat party is just about rearranging the chairs whether in power or not and not actually remodeling the place for the betterment of constituents.

timwins.bsky.social•58 days ago

The bigger issue is that Trump is trying to destroy the country & crash our economy so he can launch a new government of technocratic elites. I support parks but when my country is under attack my focus is on defending it. Stop being distracted by the smoke screens and see the real issue.

miriamgrace.bsky.social•59 days ago

Transgender people are being forcibly detransitioned and our government just said fuck you to some of the best soldiers to ever serve this flag: 🇺🇸

Talk to me right here.

I want to know why you’re not out there defending our veterans.

wasjustwondering.bsky.social•59 days ago

Let’s also talk about you and the rest of the Democrats acknowledging that Trump is a traitor who’s being blackmailed by Putin and the Russians… 🤔

Musk, Thiel, and their network dismantling democratic institutions.
- JD Vance, MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help this transition.The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.
If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced a corporate-run authoritarian state.

bazinga987.bsky.social•59 days ago

Adam, the army Corp of engineers is already shutting down for the year parks they manage. They are doing it under the radar, Let's add that to the discussion.

cyberksmith.bsky.social•58 days ago

Please stop telling us what we can find out on our own! The support is there. The rationale for making change is there.
You are supposed to lead, to act, to organize efforts. That's what we need now more than ever.

sallybrown.bsky.social•59 days ago

I have little interest in a public service announcement about the curtailment. I want to know what congressional Democrats, such as yourself, are doing to “make your voices heard.”

paulafromma.bsky.social•59 days ago

How about doing something about it instead of just talking.

citizenamfr.bsky.social•59 days ago

I may have missed it, when is your town hall for this March recess?

Would be great to discuss in person

I called your offices in DC, Fresno and San Diego but no one answered

🤷🏼‍♂️

manintaibach.bsky.social•58 days ago

America won't have national parks soon anyway. Trump will order all the trees to be cut down for all the opencast mines to operate.

russlinton.com•58 days ago

NPS has been under-everything for decades.

Skeleton off-season crews. Seasonals used to fill gaps. Giant maintenance backlog (helped by legislation a few years back.)

They receive 100s of millions of visitors a year and keep parks clean/safe. They deserve protection and respect.

dronsirhc.bsky.social•58 days ago

Until you can admit that you can’t be serious about solutions.

ganana6.bsky.social•59 days ago

You and most Democrats have been silent until now, WHY!
We didn’t vote any of you in to office to be silent and do nothing. It’s like you’re all on the other side with the GOP & MAGAS now.
WE have known about the parks from day 1 ad have done everything we can. You have been MIA! You don’t care.

tracycant.bsky.social•59 days ago

With the Divider-in-Chief running in part on a platform of "Drill Baby, Drill" fossil fuel dependency, the ham-fisted DoGE cuts all but guarantee a disastrous outcome for the majestic, respected, world class parks of the U.S. No surprise however given the grift and climate change denial rot of MAGA.

Yep. And Schumer & cohorts just gave them the green light to gut everything your constituents value. He needs to be replaced NOW!

notintimidated.bsky.social•59 days ago

Democrats need to come up with a talking point and it needs to be Income Inequality. Why are working class Americans becoming poorer, middle class are being squeezed and the billionaires are becoming wealthier and wealthier. This is what we need to be saying.

notintimidated.bsky.social•58 days ago

We should be going into red states, holding town halls and repeating this, over and over again. Trump and his administration want us to become like India-where the richest 10% control 80% of the wealth.
