I agree, action is needed! What happened to the balance of power? There is no balance now!! Use the tools you have, or make some up, to stop the ripping up and ignoring our Constitution!
Words are cheap. Action counts !

LOL
Pure performative outrage from Patty.

Patty won’t actually do anything useful.

People hated shrinkflation in their consumer goods, wait til they realize this is what will happen to the government services we depend on: pay the same or more in taxes and get way way less in services!

Fight on and box Rs into the corner and grind this thing to a halt however you can!

What are the democrats going to do to try to stop him?

Vote so very HARD!
It may not work.

But when future generations look back on this they will say “yeah, they sat safely behind their desks and voted”.

And isn’t that the kind of legacy that we all wish we had?

About fucking time you stand up against something. Where ya been?

What about the moves to outlaw trans identity, round up First Nations people and put them into concentration camps, deport every immigrant ICE can put their hands on, etc?

Is it just welfare for white people that's sticking in your craw or will you be equally defiant on human rights abuses?

Get all dems to speak out on a few bullet points on one topic, across all their channels in sync. Otherwise it’s just drops in an info river.

I’m tired of just receiving email. What is this, the early 2000s?

Yes please vote no, this would be catastrophic to millions of Americans. Could you also call a special hearing to discuss Elon and trumps misuse of power? Like there has to be something you guys can do to actually stop this insanity.

Thank you for loudly pledging to say no and to fight. We are looking forward to the specifics. Just make sure decorum is out the window. This isn't time to take the high road. This is time to interrupt an attack on democracy and brazen theft of our money and future.

ARE YOU ABLE TO VOTE 'NO!' SO HARD THAT MUSK AND HIS BAND OF ILLEGAL WORKERS GET DETAINED OR ARRESTED?

IF NOT, CAN YOU PURSUE THE ACTIVITIES THAT *WILL* GET THEM DETAINED OR ARRESTED?

I DON'T THINK YOUR VOTE MATTERS AS MUCH AS YOUR PHYSICAL ACTIONS TO STOP THIS.

As a constituent and voter: stop conducting business as usual while the building burns down around us all.

coil.bsky.social•2 days ago

A friend and their spouse, also your constituents, both just lost their federal jobs thanks to Elon's steamroller.

A principled no vote is useless when the GOP doesn't need your agreement anyway. They're gutting our democracy and you're proudly stating that you disagree with them.

@Senator Ted Cruz! If you help this to happen, @Beto O’roake should challenge you again at his earliest opportunity! So consider carefully how secure your seat actually is. Do you want to be remembered historically as one of Trump’s faithful, yet not of democracy?

Thank you.

Shut down the government; refuse to pass a continuing resolution until the administration restores the agencies and the workers they have fired; and then make the continuing resolution for no more than 3 months so the administration is held accountable. Checks and balances.

THIS!

Thank you. Sharpen those points. They have ordered cuts to MEDICARE telehealth. Why dump on old people who may have trouble getting out or getting to a doctor? It's more cruelty. Now they are hurting old people.

Are you still on X? Why are elected Democrats STILL on X? Elon Musk is threatening advertisers with the power of the WH and bribing investors with federal goodies. You guys should not be there. It's not right!

I remember a Patty Murray in tennis shoes. Remember her? That's who you need to be now, not whatever this is. Thanks for voting no but it is not enough. You need a fire in your belly, Senator. The Constitution needs saving and this ain't getting it done big enough or fast enough.
