Or, some could keep slipping him laxatives until he has to vacate the role to prevent irreversible damage to himself like they want to cause irreversible damage to women’s bodies
Thanks we should have seen this with hegseth as well. Reading word for word the allegations, letters from his superiors starring how horrible he is, his moms email, etc
What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.
They should have done this on every nominee every single time. But better late than never. Get outvoted and then go to the streets and collect that press gaggle. Let grandpa know they are after his Medicare and VA benefits
Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. He has denied knowing about project 25 all along, knowing full well he would implement its plan from th get go.
Media needs to shine a light to his followers. he denied having anything to do with project 25 . It’s 3 weeks in and if just doesn’t stop!
So stop him ✋🛑
Yes. I truly appreciate their efforts & speeches, but in the end it changed nothing. Vought was confirmed; Couldn't something else more effective have been done to actually prevent his nomination from going forward? Can't we pull in two or three Republicans to side w/us??
Football is like a democracy where rules and laws are faithfully followed by all branches and strictly enforced by judges/referees. Players and fans attending the Super Bowl have the power to tell the world that the lawless Convicted Felon POTUS Is unwanted at this game: “C-F-P-O-T-U-S GO HOME!”
Excellent. If you need future filibuster material, I'd like to suggest Senator Ossoff read the Thrawn Trilogy on the Senate floor. Then after a break he can read the new books. That ought to keep them busy.
Really, the only thing that will keep us all from losing everything is taking every damn thing to court, pressuring our representatives and Senators, and protesting.
That’s not the only thing. We’re on track for civil disobedience. Extended strikes, mass protests, refusing to pay taxes etc. SO much that can be done. The most important thing is to do it together. And money is the ONLY language the reds and corporations speak
Negrodamus predicts 100% of Agent Orange's crew will be confirmed & with Dem vote(s). Unlike my wonderful DEM party; Repubs seek power, steal power, & use power. They will do evil sh*t until you stop them. Wait for dumb ass citizens to vote them back into power & do the same evil Sh*t times ten.
Until there is a dem majority in the senate, yes. I believe that is the best they can do right now. Don’t think they will flip any gop senators to help block the confirmations.

#resist it starts with transphobia and ends with women in chains. The rich white men the only ones unscathed https://progressivereform.org/tracking-trump-2/project-2025-executive-action-tracker/

Slow them down, show up their stupidity, and plan for the second- most important election of our era.
Fail and the republic is doomed.
