Craven is the word that will define historically this era of politics.

madsweetsting.bsky.social•34 days ago

Some people really need to internalize that democrats are not on our side either. Vote blue no matter who is a failing strategy.

mssmart.bsky.social•35 days ago

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

This is truly disgraceful of @repaprildelaney.bsky.social and does not represent me or I'm sure the majority of the state

skennedy2504.bsky.social•35 days ago

Still can't get over Jahana Hayes on this and other recent votes. Knocked doors and drove folks to the polls because it was a close race and I thought it would make a difference, and now I don't know why I wasted my time

michellenayeli.bsky.social•35 days ago

There are some really surprising names on that list

a-starry-knight.bsky.social•35 days ago

Torres, NY???

Is that @ritchietorres.bsky.social who voted for #LakenRileyAct ?

maraleia.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yes

1000islandlake.bsky.social•35 days ago

It passed? 🥺

jea209.bsky.social•35 days ago

Can’t I feel crazy 😂 just wished I had the energy to fuck shit up

vinosmax.bsky.social•35 days ago

Cowards.

jollymollyroger.bsky.social•35 days ago

To see a Vindman on that list is like a gut punch.

drsusanbernstein.bsky.social•34 days ago

With you on that. Feelings so nauseous. Also seeing Mark Kelly from my home state of Arizona and I'm sickened that I donated to his campaign. WTAF?

jollymollyroger.bsky.social•34 days ago

We all know that senators aren’t the most expensive thing in our government.

freedom2b.bsky.social•35 days ago

____Michigan____
* Sen Peters
* Sen Slotkin
* Rep McDonald Rivet
* Rep Scholten

They voted with other fascists to pass the Laken Riley Act.

freedom2b.bsky.social•35 days ago

When writing your compliant legislators, treat them like Republicans. Tell them to break with trump. Tell them that they and their allies are on the wrong side of history. Them them that their fellow fascists are going to ruin millions of lives and be responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. &c.

mumofperfectkids.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just emailed Rivet. Used your wording, thank you.

wabbisabbi.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fascism is contagious. They don't represent us

hleisthen.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah, fuck them. I wrote to both Peters and Slotkin urging them to vote no. Really looking forward to the inevitable bullshit letter I'll get in a few weeks explaining that they're concerned about national security.

theysawmetweetin.bsky.social•35 days ago

Same. And I voted for Scholten too. Truly disgusted.

freedom2b.bsky.social•35 days ago

I wrote them after they had indicated their willingness to vote for it by, among other things, informing them that I would treat them like Republicans from here on out.

My next message to them told them to "break with trump."

mumofperfectkids.bsky.social•35 days ago

Grrrrr I didn’t even think of checking Rivet. Now I’m livid.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•34 days ago

Do not under ANY circumstances trust these so called Dems. They are NOT friends of this country.

kelstarmoon.bsky.social•35 days ago

Supremely unhappy with Perez and Schier of WA. Have campaigned and donated for both of them in the past. No more

heavydrinking.bsky.social•35 days ago

Who will you vote for than?

kelstarmoon.bsky.social•34 days ago

Fortunately, I am not faced with that choice.

cjmcg1966.bsky.social•35 days ago

@gallego.senate.gov, #Slotkin, @senossoff.bsky.social, and Warnock were the most disappointing to me. I don't even want to talk about @fetterman.senate.gov Due process Shmue process, I guess.

makosretes.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm gutted. I phonebanked my heart out for @Senossoff.bsky.social and @Senwarnock.bsky.social Is there no moral compass anymore? No depth too low? Where is compassion?

cjmcg1966.bsky.social•35 days ago

All I can think is they live in a southern state and maybe their constituents are immigration hardliners, but it's still no excuse. Both of them seemed to have more scruples than to go along with something like this. Where's the compassion and/or fidelity to the Constitution they swore an oath to?

mtlinbellevegas.bsky.social•35 days ago

I am happy my senators are not on this list. Calling does help. Budzinski was having problems with her last election and she represents many Hispanics. She might have it harder next time around.

kuraswamy.bsky.social•35 days ago

They should all be primaried and shown the door.

comradekilo.bsky.social•35 days ago

As expected, the fascist democrats remained fascists lol.

hslibrain.bsky.social•35 days ago

This act is designed to expand the number of immigrants to be taken into custody once ACCUSED of burglary, theft, shoplifting (over $100.00) or assault of a law enforcement officer, or committing acts causing bodily harm or death. Being detained after only being ACCUSED bypasses Due Process.

anncminer.bsky.social•35 days ago

Disappointed, @repkimschrier.bsky.social

gbaji.bsky.social•35 days ago

Quite the understatement.

anncminer.bsky.social•35 days ago

(fwiw, I did also call her office *before* the vote)

joshuabhoe.bsky.social•35 days ago

yup...just no moral compass at all...gross

peregrinekate.bsky.social•35 days ago

Both our senators. Two MOC. Insulting our intelligence (& theirs)

joshuabhoe.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh, I know...I was shocked in one case b/c the bill also gives states the power to supersede federal supremacy on immigration....which you would think Slotkin would get since she is an ex-CIA...but no

peregrinekate.bsky.social•35 days ago

Mind-boggling especially because she just got elected. Often she comes across to me as unwilling to admit she may have something to learn.

joshuabhoe.bsky.social•35 days ago

I have never been a huge fan, but she clearly has something (that I don't really understand) b/c she keeps winning tight elections

joshuabhoe.bsky.social•35 days ago

Also, I was always a big fan of Stabenow...heck, she has always followed up on everything we have ever discussed, and whenever I see her here or in DC she almost always at least waves hello lol

joshuabhoe.bsky.social•35 days ago

and I would rarely use that in a way that seemed respectful...I am just saying that she should get why you want the federal government to have supremacy on national security issues

clevertitle.bsky.social•35 days ago

Whatever happened to resigning in protest? 🤔

sratchley.bsky.social•35 days ago

These are not our representatives.
They have neglected their duties by and for the people.

reallybigbaby.bsky.social•35 days ago

Warnock and ossef were the real heartbreakers

shaynaa.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yep, I live here and I get Laken was local and they are worried about 2026 but they walked right into a GOP trap. Going to make some calls tomorrow.

ocotillos.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m horrified at Kelly and Gallego for throwing so many of their constituents under the bus

drsusanbernstein.bsky.social•34 days ago

This AZ-raised gal is nauseous. Just horrifying.

dialabama.bsky.social•35 days ago

They need to be voted out.

2theinfinitepower.bsky.social•35 days ago

I expected this crap from Gary Peters, who can't do more than grow a beard to look tough, but Elissa Slotkin is the real disappointment to me.

husker1184.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fetterman is going to switch parties imo and sooner rather than later.

prisonculture.bsky.social•35 days ago

Or maybe he's more relevant if he stays Joe Manchin

prisonculture.bsky.social•35 days ago

yes he is.

zooeydedalus.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh, those Progressives from GA, Warnock and Ossoff, that we got so many urgent pleas to donate to in order to turn the Senate Blue. Those guys. Both voted for this.

yelldebarge.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ossoff AND Warnock, huh? Heard.

lauren518.bsky.social•34 days ago

Davis?! In NC? WtF?! What is it with black men in politics in NC through these times, my gosh? Welp, “contact Don Davis’ and communicate some choice words” is now at the top of my to-do list. Smh.

helleborehound.bsky.social•34 days ago

@repkimschrier.bsky.social and Rep Perez, you are a disgrace to your constituents.

dianajoy.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m not surprised that my congressman (fucking Suozzi) voted for it, even tho I called and was like ‘I will never vote for him again if he votes for this.’ Kinda wish we still had Santos in the seat - at least he was entertaining.
