What happens when the next bill is even more devastating? Will these Democrats still bend the knee? This will allow President Musk to keep getting what he wants. This needs to stop!

blueskynotx24.bsky.social•1 day ago

correct. get something in return at least - I vote yes - If Elon testifies in front of congress on all the "savings" and he can't take the fifth (like Mike Flynn)

I personally couldn’t agree with you more. First things first. Force Jeffries and Schumer out! If you’re pissed about Sen. Chuck Schumer caving to Trump and Elon Musk, take the pledge to boycott contributions to all Senate Democrats until they replace him as leader: https://chng.it/mZgjGv9rS9

You know what might save money? A bill to cancel the Healthcare benefits of recipuents in the current and past Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches.
Stings, doesn't it?

I'm having deja vu all over again with Biden getting thrown under the bus.

Apparently some in the Senate are not wanting to keep their jobs.

Congressman, Our Senate Leader did not bend a knee. He made what he believed was the best choice of two bad options. He was aware there would be a backlash against him for casting the vote to avoid a shutdown. He also understood that a huge number of furloughed employees would not be recalled.

This exactly how it feels as a voter. I can see both views, but we need to be loudly taking every chance we get to stand up to this tyranny! 💙🩵💙

It appears the Democratic party is having its day of reckoning, not unlike the Republican party underwent a decade prior. This isn't a surprise, since the party lost touch with its constituents over time, and is no longer responsive to that constituency.

Thank you, @robertgarcia.bsky.social!

I am still in a state of shock & rage that Chuck fucking Schumer made the decision he did.

He did not lead & he does not represent the majority of Dems. He hurt the party & he hurt all of us.

I beg you all to primary that fuckwad. MAKE HIM GO!

plaintanjane.bsky.social•1 day ago

Whether or not you agree with Schumer’s decision— the sight of House Democrats going on television and targeting him or Senate Democrats is exactly the messaging that serves Trump.

Please, enough already. Spend your precious time targeting Trump & Musk.

lordabaddon.bsky.social•1 day ago

During WWII the Nazis were not the only target but the Vichy French who helped them by either standing aside or aiding them in their actions. This is the same. To be quiet about Schumer and his allies helping is as wrong as not fighting against Trump.

Great Post!

Yes! WAKE UP AMERICA IT’S us AGAINST 800 people. 800? Yes, there are 800 people in the US WORTH $1Billion.

Tax these 800 people fairly and then let’s see where the national debt stands. Until then NO TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES.

(P.S. there are 42mil living in poverty and 20mil worth $1mil+).

raibeartbrus.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m no fan of CS, but his argument appears to be, it was this shitty bill or, close the government and cede all spending authority to Trump without even the oversight of the courts, which would be worse than this CR.

Do you disagree with that assessment, and if so why?

We want facts not rhetoric.

coyote001.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm curious about the timing. Why did Schumer wait until after the vote to dispense this information?

raibeartbrus.bsky.social•1 day ago

I did see him on tv talk about this before the vote.

I can’t get a straight answer from anyone on whether what he said has merit.

The thought of Trump and Musk with complete control, and no courts to rein them in is terrifying.

The democratic party has no balls, fact. That's why Trump is the president. Wake up, Americans. The new world does not appreciate weakness!

foreverdaff.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don’t tell us that !! Tell your fellow democrats in congress !

ruffhouse.bsky.social•1 day ago

Probably helps you fundraise, to be fair.

ruffhouse.bsky.social•1 day ago

How does this help? Couldn't GOP just end the filibuster and make all of you Dems even more powerless than your voters already rendered you? Putin and Trump are laughing it up watching us eat our own. Trump talking point next week: "Even Dems call themselves weak cowards."
