I voted NO to confirm Sean Duffy as Secretary of Transportation to register my firm opposition to a lawless administration that is right now illegally ripping away funding that communities and families across America are counting on.

Please continue the fight! I appreciate that you did the right thing! 47's goal is to tear apart our democracy and leave us with nothing. Thank you for being persistent, we need you!
I'm a constituent. Vote no on ALL OF THEM. Join with other legislators, agency experts, constitutents, etc. to form an actual plan to stop this fascist takeover. That's your only job now. Do it, or very soon we really won't have a country anymore.
Thank you! As a constituent, I urge you to please vote no and obstruct/slow down every possible thing you can going forward. The man is a deranged tyrant and we need your voice to yell loudly on our behalf.
She lead a unanimous (Amongst the Dems and Independents who caucus with them) effort to draft a resolution condemning Donald Trump's pardon of the J6 Insurrectionists. It's a show of solidarity with the capitol police and the American people (Who largely disapprove of the pardons).
You're actually serious? Are you saying that all that is required of our Reps during this moment of crisis are stern words and votes? WTf Our Dem reps should be out in front of the mics decrying the daily outrages of the Trump admin. The time for folowing norms has passed...Hitler has arrived
I didn’t say that’s all that is required of them. The topic of this thread is narrow: Senator Murray’s words and vote on a particular matter.
If you want to broaden the discussion to everything a rep should do, I am sure we can agree to a very long list.
Washington State needs Maria Cantwell on board for such action as well.
We need all Democrats to oppose all Trump nominees.
And, most of all, we need all the Democratic senators to articulate what the plan is for congressional opposition to the constitutional crisis Trump is causing.
Can you have a chat with @cantwell.senate.gov and the rest of your caucus? None of the nominees from this criminal administration should be getting a single Dem vote.
We need more from Democrats they need to boycott the vote, not just vote no. They need to filibuster. All business must cease until this power grab is ceased.
Great start. I hope you will also fulfill your other sworn constitutional duties rather than allowing them to be usurped by a demented figurehead for right wing oligarchs. Where are the coordinated efforts? The parliamentary obstruction? The articles of impeachment?
Thank you Senator. I hope there will be no Democratic votes for ANY Trump nominees (apart from & regardless of any substantive objections anyone may have) unless & until this lawlessness ends.
As a Washingtonian, I thank you, Senator. I still disapprove of you voting to confirm Rubio, tremendously, but you're still showing more backbone than some Dem Senators.
You should be voting no ON EVERY SINGLE NOMINEE.
Why oh why are you supporting GOPNazis in their successful effort to destroy/deconstruct the government? WHY???
Thank you Senator Murray! Keep fighting. Oppose constantly. Grind the senate to a halt. And tell Maria Cantwell to join you. Unfortunately she voted yea on Duffy.
Now get the rest of the party on board, and tell Shumer he should step down as leader he's unwilling to get everyone on board in opposition to every Trump pick.
Same. There can be no bipartisanship when the Republicans are actively trying to destroy life as we know it for millions of Americans! I expect us to be as obnoxious and difficult as possible instead of thanking them and asking for another.
Thank you, Senator Murray. Please persuade your colleagues to stand united against EVERY nominee going forward. The country needs @democrats.org to stand together on this. Do not help them. No collaboration.
Tell @schumer.senate.gov votes need to be unanimous NOs from @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social
His refusal to go scorched Earth is going to get us killed. People are terrified and the Dems need a leader with a spine
Thank you Senator. Every Democratic Senator and Representative should be voting "NO" for anything Donald Trump wants. Giving Trump what he wants isn't being bi-partisan, it's being Neville Chamberlain.
Senator, do we need to crowdfund a new pair of tennis shoes for you? You do great work, but it's no longer OK to merely "register your firm opposition." These are unfathomable times, and we need you to do whatever you can to be a fly in the ointment.
I dearly hope Wa state dem politicians have established a 24/7 war room with constant communication between civil servants, state reps, + the governors office to coordinate action.
This is 2025. Press releases are the equivalent of singing telegrams. People need to SEE you all fighting this.
Thank fuck the moment I saw who it’d be I checked history on anything related to moving people around. Nothing absolutely nothing thing. I’m not getting a bike lane on Warren Ave anytime soon
Please stop voting on these sleazy nominations until we know what the hell is going on. Stop the Confirmation process. We're in the midst of a coup and you all are carrying on like everything is normal.
I forgot about the independents. Maybe you should have asked me how I got the count wrong. My mistake. But you are very quick at calling people liars. Maybe you should brush up on your interpersonal skills.
You should probably pick Republican nominations like the last couple Supreme Court picks. They was no real investigation and they lied. Do you do diligence and make sure everyone is thoroughly investigated and provided solid answers before casting your ballot.
Thank you! You and your colleagues should vote against every nominee and against everything the R's bring up. Use the rules to muck up things and grind the Senate to a halt. Fight hard Senator. We see what's happening and are looking for leadership. It's time to rally the troops and for action.
I am hoping every cabinet pick is a no.. Until he get's some semblance of common sense and decency. Obstruct and make noise! Hold up every action on this traitorous administration.

And she followed those stern words by taking action - she voted no in accordance with her words.
What more do you expect?

Please form a shadow government immediately.

Now tell your cowardly fellow Senators.
Cannot give these fascists an inch!! McConnell them.

@cantwell.senate.gov --this is what patriotism looks like.
People need to stop saying what won't work and get to work finding something that will.
