Oh EXCELLENT point, Senator.
So now, again, the question to YOU is:
WHAT.
the F**K.
ARE *YOU*.
GOING TO *DO*.
ABOUT IT??????

The E in DOGE is for EXPULSION. Do the little people a solid and don’t “suggest” anything. Don’t play nice. Expose them at every turn. Band together and squash these diseased rodents before the courts have no power against them at all. These “campaign finance” bribes are killing us!

i'd also look into outlawing crypto currency completely. look at the amount of grift the 🍊💩 family is raking in through open manipulation of crypto

I don't see any messages on the "Big Beautiful Bill" that the House passed by 1 vote. What are you and your fellow Democratic Senators going to do to stop this bill from becoming law?

Everything that is happening in the Trump administration,

the deconstruction the social safety net for the poor

& gave the money to tax cuts for the rich

is the fault of the 77 million voters,

the fault of Christian hypocrites,

the fault of old white nationalists

voted for this nightmare .

In 2018, the airport disaster training facility at the SLC UT airport was closed due to funding cuts.

The DOD should give that Qatar 777 jet to the FAA for safety and emergency training purposes. Especially with more funding cuts to come this term.

Your vm is full so I couldn’t leave msg about outrageous crypto grift vote. Did you ever approve DOGE’s budget so that they can hire 20 yr old hackers at GS15? Start with upholding congressional purse power. & impeachment is what you do when president repeatedly takes unconstitutional action.

calsunshine.bsky.social•6 days ago

Use your congressional powers and then get on these platforms to explain what you did to stop fascism. Instead of voting with gop for crypto grift!

Voters failed to get off the couch in 2024 election, causing Democrats to be in the minority on Capitol Hill.

What will voters do in 2026?

oat-fiber.bsky.social•6 days ago

I agree. When voters sit on their ass, the consequences are profound. Then, when Democratic Senators fail to vote like an opposition party, the consequences are monumental.

lobelia1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump won by the smallest amount ever, and is the least popular ever. And he's just getting started on what, unfortunately, is an incompetent economic program.

johnt76.bsky.social•6 days ago

Voters are fed up with both sides. Voters didn’t have a choice to pick, was forced Biden until it was too late. Let’s be realistic, Americans are not going to have a female in the White House anytime soon. Unpopular Opinion, but realistically the truth.

lobelia1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Voters were either lazy, misinformed, disinformed, uninformed, or uncritical of the information they did have.

Had they noticed, claims, performance, & characteristics of the 2 candidates were diametrically opposed.

Gave up voting right on 'no choice' or unpreferred gender is lazy. Sad!

johnt76.bsky.social•6 days ago

No it was all the above. The democrats do not have one message to stand on, they are not joined together in this fight. They do not work together to stop this. The party is broken.

lobelia1.bsky.social•6 days ago

They don't seem to be together yet.

Democrats support real people.

Republicans support very rich people and corporations.

There IS a real difference.

Thank you, Sen. Schiff. Please more. There's a reason cancer metaphors I use to represent this admin work so well.
They literally cause cancer.
It's 1 of the ways they enjoy putting US citizens/kids to death.
They have to be forcibly removed for enjoying killing people.

It's a made up "department" with no other purpose but to slash programs that help people and then obsconding with our data.
And Congress pretended it was real and their actions valid.

Boeing VC-25 a military version of the Boeing 747 airliner, modified for presidential transport is not a retrofit it would be a rebuild.
Boeing 747-200B'--designation VC-25.
The unclassified upgrades are not trivial. The classified upgrades I know better than to guess.
Painting....

niftymitch.bsky.social•6 days ago

Painting like the presidential seal must change if used after leaving office as only POTUS can use the symbols
of the office i.e. not FormerPOTUS. That would be 2x$300000.

niftymitch.bsky.social•6 days ago

In many cases a pair of aircraft are uses so one can be a "decoy" or return backup so all external appearances would have to be replicated. And security would have to flip a coin for the aircraft POTUS boards. I recall the 911 -- "where is POTUS" news confusion.
