Maxine Waters is investigating Elon Musk and DOGE staffer Ethan Shaotran for hacking the election. I hope you're helping her, or we won't have a democracy to fight for anymore!

larchris.bsky.social•1 day ago

We are at the point where our "leaders" HAVE given up on democracy and refuse to fight back against the rich, the Russians and the POS in the white House. Congress has NO F'ING idea of how your constitutes loathe your non action. Zero respect! Tell your fellow members that spines are a GOOD thing.

@slotkin.senate.gov Please vote NO on Trump’s CR. It increases Pentagon waste, cuts social programs and has no guarantees to implement current funding approved by you - my Senator.

Discouraged by you voting to approve 8 of the nominees who promise to destroy democracy. FUCK YOU senator

Pretty hard not to be "discouraged" when the weak, incompetent, pathetic and hypocritical Dems will not even put up much of a fight other than wearing pink dresses and little signs.

That goes for you Slotkin and the totally useless Spineless Scholten of MI 3

Also...please understand that even tho some Michiganders (not including me) elected a Rep. President, a lot of us elected you to balance those decisions...not to level and agree with those atrocious policies. Again thank you!

ilovewednesday.bsky.social•1 day ago

I understand that you want to represent all of the state. But please keep in mind when you vote, there is a matter of right vs. wrong. I don't approve of ANY votes that support ANY of Trump's agendas. Sincerely, local Michigander. Thank you for all you do.

You've gone out of your way to vote for Trump Cabinet noms and have turned your back on marginalized communities by bitching about "identity politics". I know you're just salivating to throw trans people under the bus. Go be a McKinsey consultant or something you're suited for, you're a shit senator

As your constituent, I’m pretty discouraged by your voting record, you absence at VA Committee hearings, and your lectures on “communications” when I call your office daily and have never reached a staffer or received a response. When is your next town hall? I hear they’re “American as Apple Pie”

kimhudolin.bsky.social•1 day ago

So far, I don’t see you fighting for our rights. You seem to be trying to find common ground with a far-right, extremist party instead of advancing the policies favored by your voters.

Well, I had high hopes for her. Scary thing is, even now she's preferable to the alternative. We have to hold her feet to the fire. Hopefully the mid-terms will be better, and then when she comes up for re-election if she hasn't gotten a clue, we can primary her.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the “Bloody Sunday” march from Selma to Montgomery, AL to ensure African Americans could exercise their constitutional right to vote. Several people were killed. Our democracy is something which is worth fighting for. We must not let others take away our rights.

garrison1979.bsky.social•23 hours ago

She’s maga. I wouldn’t trust her at all. She voted for 8 yes 8 Trump’ cabinet picks. She voted for the Laken Riley Act, I didn’t see white boy, rapes, and killers victims get their own Act. She voted to take rights away from immigrants. She’s the reason you don’t vote, blue no matter who.

We need to stop attacking each other and focus our efforts on the Trump-Musk-Vance Axis of Evil. Until Trump and gang are impeached and convicted, the rest is a distraction. Let’s work together on that and leave the rest aside for now.

Agree in normal times but these not normal. In special elections on4/1 choice for voters is a D & a an R- no luxury of someone else. These are deep red districts. People are pissed so we might be able to take back the House- but we need to be more united to do that & win over more red voters.
