But wait! You're trying to help people! Aren't you supposed to be solely focused on enriching yourself and your own personal retribution campaign against everyone you think slighted you?

I'm wondering why it took 23 years. I so respect your work but I don't understand that part...

slam4.bsky.social•69 days ago

why? why would you give the Republicans legitimacy and pretend all is normal? A tax credit bill with the Nazi party. How embarrassing.

mcbluffin.bsky.social•70 days ago

Not that it's a bad idea, but this business as usual, nothing you do is going anywhere with R's in charge, blinders on style of politics, is Not Serving Your Country!

Get in the Fight...

socialdistancer.bsky.social•70 days ago

JFC I'm one of your constituents and this is some bullshit. You should be pressuring your fellow legislators to end the tariffs, illegal dismantling of federal institutions & deportations. WTF am I paying taxes for if we'll have no services or benefits left & you guys just keep getting paid?

superlocious.bsky.social•70 days ago

At this rate, no one will be able to rebuild their home(s) and won't be able to build a new home. You're watching the country fall apart and doing nothing to stop it, so what's the point of this bill?

claypotter.bsky.social•70 days ago

WTF?

davemtsky.bsky.social•69 days ago

Now you have introduced one fire related bill with Sheehy and Padilla has introduced another. As one of Sheehy’s constituents- he is not looking out for Montana. But there must be something good in it for Bridger Aerospace - his company - because the stock jumped right after the announcement.

lindawy.bsky.social•69 days ago

You would make a terrific President…

dragonmusing.bsky.social•69 days ago

So, a little break for people who can still afford houses, while all the science and emergency personnel that might prevent, predict, and/or stop the fires are being fired and de-funded.

That'll help.

mishellbaker.bsky.social•70 days ago

"Bipartisan" is not what your constituents are looking for right now.

It's really starting to feel like you are more interested in talking than listening. Would you consider posting an explanation of your confirmation of Rubio, or anything else your constituents have been asking you nonstop?

bsfromwis.bsky.social•70 days ago

I thought for sure this had to be a joke - including the incredible first frame of the video.

In every interview before the election when you were asked what happens if he’s elected. You smugly said “we have a plan”. Where is it? I might add that you emailed and texted me for money https://every.single.day too.

I really thought you would be different.
I thought that you would fight to fix what the trump is doing.
That you would put up the good trouble.

I see I was wrong.

Perhaps
In another timeline Senator.This one has trump literally smashing institutions, Courts, Congress, global economy, defense, violating the Constitution / laws.

Trying to hand over Ukraine to Putin, invade Greenland, Canada, and Panama, kidnapping people, throwing them in a foreign gulag.

Congratulations, Senator! We are glad you are there taking care of your constituents, day in and day out. Thank you.

kryspee.bsky.social•70 days ago

Right now any legislation proposals that do not work to limit the power of the executive branch are beyond pointless.

Trump will just say it’s not needed and sign an executive order rolling it back. Then ignore the courts when they rule against him.

wheezer2024.bsky.social•70 days ago

Nice!

invisiblebetty.bsky.social•70 days ago

While I appreciate efforts around fire protection and disasters, I'm more worried about our continued existence with basic rights.

Maybe focusing on that right now might be a better idea?

Glad you’re super proud of your very first bill. Did you know that American citizens and legal visa holders are being locked away? Surely not cause you wouldn’t be so dumb as to ignore that to smugly talk about your first anything, right, Adam.

bandedhawk.bsky.social•70 days ago

This is a good move, but infrastructure needs to be hardened, too. Australia, like California, has seen roads and electricity grids destroyed. The increased energy trapped on the planet increases the energy of environmental events. Otherwise, repair costs here will also escalate.

gemmaperi.bsky.social•70 days ago

Impeach the 5 justices who have abrogated our constitution.

dbottinick.bsky.social•70 days ago

What about rolling back tariffs? We would love that.

coconutlizard.bsky.social•70 days ago

The Democrats are always trying to do something for Americans. The Republicans block it whenever they can why is that? Why is it that Republicans always introduce things that hurt Americans help the rich or help themselves?

miebaba61.bsky.social•69 days ago

None in the White House has mentioned about the states hit by the worst storms. Trump never cares about the victims from a natural disaster or fires as he still doesn’t believe the climate change is REAL. Please take him out of the White House no matter what!! He’s the disaster of this country!!

terrierista.bsky.social•70 days ago

Now save Democracy. Please.

zoomzeta.bsky.social•70 days ago

Please focus on the tariff thing (Speaking as a Venezuelan of Canadian citizenship)

gothox.bsky.social•68 days ago

GOOD!
High time to fix building codes. We aren't experts here. We need help.
The cost of making a home/business well is easily recoverable in reduced insurance premiums.

* Research how to make homes easier/cheaper to maintain. If you want ownership, make it work.

BIG opportunity to help us here!

boover.bsky.social•69 days ago

Being from So Cal, Adam Schiff is fully aware that the insurance companies are pricing us out of our homes...my insurance has more than doubled the last 2 years.

democrats are a perpetual disappointment in every aspect of their existence,

Please don't want you to take it personally, it's merely a statement based on thirty years of observational experience.

toastyloaff.bsky.social•70 days ago

Even I think he can walk and chew gum at the same time. Don't be disingenuine. If what he is saying is true, this could help people quite a bit who were affected by the fires.

a-main-a-fil-avec.bsky.social•70 days ago

It's not the spirit of the bill, it's the futility of trying to put it together now. I mean even it he got it passed, who would fund it and what agency would manage it? Do they even exist anymore?

toastyloaff.bsky.social•70 days ago

I'd imagine the bill has those answers. I also have no idea how bipartisan it is or how many Republicans support it. I just don't think bashing him for it is gonna do anyone any good.

Plenty of reasons to criticize him for. This isn't one of em.

dong.social•70 days ago

It is a priority for his constituents. He's supposed to do this.

dawgfanatic.bsky.social•70 days ago

Yeah. Their fire proof house will come in handy when they’re snatched off the street and sent to a foreign gulag.

dong.social•70 days ago

The fires that come back again and again aren't going to hold off their advance out of respect for political events, nor are insurers who are currently withdrawing from the state going to stay on that account. Those problems don't stop existing just because there is another problem.

christineinla.bsky.social•70 days ago

No. It’s not

dong.social•70 days ago

It is a priority for constituents who can weigh more than one problem at a time. Tens of thousands of his constituents lost their homes, the fires are going to come back again and again, and insurance companies are pulling out of CA because of it. That's not something he should ignore for 4 years.

christineinla.bsky.social•69 days ago

That’s fair, and as one of his 818 constituents I fully understand, but for most other Americans who are also counting on him this isn’t on their agenda right now. They’re scared and looking for someone who’s focused what’s happening now. This could have been a local post for now

lalacreations.bsky.social•70 days ago

Please stop fascism first - nothing else takes priority

flyflicker.bsky.social•70 days ago

Lay out your plan that describes how a minority will stop a majority of fascists and sycophants. I await with bated breath.

genuinegatzby.bsky.social•70 days ago

Vote against every piece of legislature, nomination, and motion Republicans put forward. Tank the government. Organize public protests everywhere. Organize national boycotts. Encourage governors to hold federal income tax hostage and use it to negotiate.

flyflicker.bsky.social•70 days ago

Most of the votes have already been along party lines; the administration controls the government; citizens should be organizing boycotts and protests; I have no idea how many minutes it would take for courts to overrule a tax revolt ... maybe 10?

You have 574 days to topple the rulers. Do it.

superlocious.bsky.social•70 days ago

In 574 days, the US will be no more...

flyflicker.bsky.social•70 days ago

Wrong. Unless you and a lot of other people get real busy, real fast, the USA will end in 575 days. Your choice.

pjdouble.bsky.social•70 days ago

As a southern Californian who had a near miss with a fire in our area, I appreciate this. What is going to be done to harden our democracy?

Try working on getting the excrement in Washington in jail cells.The rest right now doesn’t much matter since your buddies across the aisle have no intention of having midterm elections & felon 45 is looking forward to putting US citizens in gulags if we disagree or exercise our 1st amendment rights

You took an oath on the day you began serving in Congress to protect the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. You approved Elon and his purchased orange president and now a fire bill? With tariffs so high people can't afford to build homes? Get real.

Honestly, this is why we can't win - a "bipartisan" bill with .... Sheehy???? WTAF. These are not normal times. Why do Dems brag about bipartisanship? Rs sure as hell don't...they accuse Ds of being one level of hell up from pedophiles, and THAT's why they win. If they write a bill with a D they
