But you voted to confirm Besset who just gave the keys to the US Treasury to a NAZI. I know you’re new and all, but don’t start posting how surprised you are that the criminal administration is doing criminal things

Mam...300 words or less...explain this please.

Why did you vote for Bennent for Federal Treasury?????

psychnpde.bsky.social•25 days ago

trump only nominated people who will remain loyal to him. Please do not reconsider your no vote.

octobermystic.bsky.social•19 days ago

Senator:
I voted for you. I tried to contact your office via email. I am extremely concerned about the potential shutdown of the Department of Education, the dismantling of USAID , and Musk's interference in and access to our government institutions. I am asking you *again* to take action.

killjoyace.bsky.social•21 days ago

Good, but vote no on every single one of them until there are promises not to affect funding or the federal workforce

sagerenee.bsky.social•24 days ago

Good. Now vote no on every single cabinet appointment and especially RFK. He’s a dangerous quack that shouldn’t be anywhere near our government.

estherrose.bsky.social•21 days ago

But ya still did this

christinablee.bsky.social•21 days ago

Senator, I've just seen the affirmative confirmation votes for the new Treasury Sec'y Bessent. Not happy for DE's Senate votes especially now that MUSK has the keys to too much power. PLEASE Do NOT confirm RFK or GABBARD.

pcccar.bsky.social•20 days ago

You will not be reelected. You voted yes on treasury pick. All the things Elon is getting. Did you not think!!. All you who vote yes for the right need to be voted out. Just watch how big protest r going 2b on the 5th. No more compromise. The Republicans never say yes. Do the same. Jesus!!

greenmamalama.bsky.social•20 days ago

WTH ARE YOU AND
OTHER DEMS VOTING
YEAH ON ANY PICK?
YOU NEED TO SHUT IT ALL DOWN B4 OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY IS RIPPED
OUT FROM UNDER US!
STOP THIS ELON MUSK
MICHAEL FLYNN BS NOW!

We had productive discussions, and I voted him out of committee. I was prepared to vote ‘yes’ on his confirmation today on the floor, but with Donald Trump’s decision last night to unconstitutionally freeze funding approved by Congress, I could not support Mr. Duffy’s nomination.

marylandbluecrab.bsky.social•24 days ago

Don’t support any of them! This is no time for business as usual, because it’s not business as usual.

chipemups.bsky.social•24 days ago

The correct answer! Give them nothing.

I've now seen two Democrats in two days who get it. Gotta say, it's almost heartening.

bluntrochester.senate.gov•25 days ago

I remain laser focused on protecting Delawareans from Trump’s attack on federal dollars.

If President Trump wants to make changes to the federal budget, he must approach Congress to do so. As clearly laid out in our constitution, Congress has power of the purse.

jempoetry.bsky.social•19 days ago

Why did you vote to confirm Bessent? There’s no ranking of people with ill-intent. You can say ‘no’ to all of them. You owe the Delaware voters, who believed in you to stand strong, a reason why a white supremacist oligarch now runs the Treasury. ‘Disappointed’ isn’t close to the word I’d use.

steveaggy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not anymore. Thanks for that. #impeachfelontrump #democraticparty

dkstorm.bsky.social•25 days ago

Please watch this senator.

We need a unified opposition.. don't take it from me. Take it from Adam Kinzinger.

Thank you! If only all Senators had this kind of commitment to their constituents and the Constitution. I’m from Florida so I can never count on my Senators to push back and do the right thing.

huskymom55.bsky.social•20 days ago

You can’t count on her, she voted to hand the Treasury over to musk.

jonibloni.bsky.social•25 days ago

WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT?? Why are ALL of you not in Washington RIGHT NOW, taking DRASTIC measures to protect this Republic and its vulnerable people??? What is your message? Posts?? Tweets?? Come on. History hangs in the balance, you and your colleagues DO SOMETHING. 💯

simplely123.bsky.social•23 days ago

Federal employees, stay federal employees. There is no buyout. There is no VISP. There is no severance. It is an 8-month notice, with no guarantee you won't be cut short and dry. You're better off getting fired. Seek legal counsel. Due process is due.

3liz-y-que.bsky.social•19 days ago

Well if that's the case you'd better get the hub bub from Ms Crockett. There's a lot of us screaming at whoever is listening that there's a robbery in progress even now at this hour.

werewof1.bsky.social•20 days ago

If were focused how did a treasury secretary that gave away the data including SS data to a national security risk, Musk???

blue44wp.bsky.social•19 days ago

Then vote NO for wvery cabinet position! You are screwing America if you don’t!

theposterguy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Why don't you tell us how you are going to stop Musk now with all of our personal data that Bessent just gave him access to. You do remember you voted YES on his confirmation. I hate to say it but I don't think you were ready for this job. Start standing up for your constituents that voted for you

ammac46.bsky.social•19 days ago

Trump doesn’t care about our constitution, and he’s letting Elon Musk steal all of our private information. They need to be stopped! HELP US!!!

dr0923.bsky.social•20 days ago

You are complicit in Musk’s takeover. You voted to confirm Bessent. Consider yourself an enemy.

afriend25.bsky.social•21 days ago

Cannot believe you voted for the guy who handed our treasury over to Elon to loot. My entire household has voted for democrats, and for you, to fight for us! Spineless wet wipes. I feel betrayed by you, and by the entire democratic party. Go see AOC for a refresher on how to stand up to fascists.

huskymom55.bsky.social•20 days ago

This!

afriend25.bsky.social•20 days ago

How hard is it to just all announce all democrats are a "no" on every single vote? I guess Elon is paying them. Or they own stock in private prisons.

huskymom55.bsky.social•20 days ago

You voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to musk. What do you have to say to the American people about that? What are you going to do to stop the horror YOU JUST VOTED FOR?

elliotghoul.bsky.social•24 days ago

Then cut funding for SCOTUS

realbenisons.bsky.social•24 days ago

thank you

could you ask RFK Jr if he see himself as a skeptical person?
"skeptic" is his personal brand
please tear it down for the sake of our safety and health

"skeptic" carries positive associations to me
skepticism involves diligence and attention to detail
RFK Jr falls far short

lindaleepeacock.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thank you Senator!

patrodg.bsky.social•18 days ago

Thank you. Please post more on this platform so that we don’t need screenshots from x

shickinb.bsky.social•19 days ago

@bluntrochester.senate.gov You need to press harder on gumming up the works for our illegitimate president. Here is a simple playbook: https://indivisible.org/resource/how-senate-democrats-can-shut-down-trumps-agenda-procedural-hardball
How are you and the rest of the Dems not already doing this?

hello-pitty.bsky.social•19 days ago

But you voted to confirm Bessent. What a betrayal.

dudaatam.bsky.social•19 days ago

If by some miracle midterm still exist, two years from now, the names on this list will be remembered
