Folks the single number one thing you should demand from your Senators when you are making calls is that they start objecting to unanimous consent.
It only takes a single Senator to do it and if they start objecting, it will grind Trump's fascist takeover to a halt.

They still only are in power because people vote for them. And you think any Republican hasn’t been hurt by these assholes stealing their money? Lots to work with.
When is the first Senator going to physically show up at OMB, with cameras in tow, and demand that Musk be arrested? Which Dem Congressman is gonna introduce Articles?

all me when we are removing those leeches from office, had enough of this circus.
We WILL vote you out if you don't do your job. If they still won't? Then vote them out.
Focus on that.
Force him to do it. If it was easy he would have done it already.
Tell them:
- You know it won’t prevent the damage, but slowdown is worth it
- This may result in them working weekends, but Trump, Musk, and co are working, and we expect our Sens. to as well.

We should expect more from them.
United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or google for individual Senators (better).

Literally would be impossible without the U.S. Senate.
He tried recessing the Senate to confirm his own people and failed. He needed the treasury secretary, which is senate confirmed to hand Elon the keys to the treasury. The senate confirmed him (because no one delayed) and he did it.
Literally 1000 gold stars for the first state that successfully bands together to get this from a member. Really wouldn't take much. You need maybe 500-1000 signatures.

People get fucking outraged if an elected leader is not listening to constituents (as they should be!)

Indivisible has a whole list of demands for Senate Dems. Scroll 2/3 way down. https://indivisible.org/omb
Straight to voicemail or a message saying refer to their website to send an email. It’s fruitless.
Thank you, though.
Also sorry our government is fucking your country for no reason at all. I hope you guys beat us handily in this trade war which is something I never thought I would say.
The chamber is designed so any single senator can object to proceedings.
So most things have to be agreed to by EVERYONE.
J6 was SO disturbing to me while people in my credit union lobby were not just shocked but LOVING it. fucking unbelievable
I think DrOrangeEvilDumbass is satan incarnate, perhaps even Hitler reincarnate
Be safe!
but i do understand the gaslighting for power and $
TY for the education!
As in they actually have to be in the chamber arguing for 30 hours.
All it takes is for one Senator to walk into the chamber and say “I object”.
You realized the Senate confirmed Treasury Secretary gave Elon access to our money right?
And what do we think that Laken Riley bill was? Or letting a drunken Nazi rapist run our military?
Which is really the problem.
Make them do it another way!! Duh.
I’m not sure why people are trying to justify doing nothing. You have zero leverage if you don’t use any of your leverage.
“Well they will do it anyway so just don’t hold up one of the chambers of the most powerful branch of the U.S. government”.
Ok so you mean everyone leading the most powerful departments of government on planet earth. Yeah other than that!
But there is more!
So why don't they? Well this might come as a shock, but you see...Senators are lazy. If they did this they might have to (gasp) work on a weekend.
His anti Trump OpED is behind a WaPo paywall. WTF! Helping Bezos keep subscribers and make money seems pretty tone deaf of Senator Coons. Unhappy constituent.
ALL OF THEM. Bernie, Elizabeth Warren. ALL OF THEM.
(Screenshot from https://Senate.gov, you can check out the daily digest yourself!)
If no senator objects, the request is granted, and the action is taken without a formal vote1. However, any senator can object to the request, which would then trigger a debate before further consideration. And multiple senators could object...
Adam just sits there and speaks word salad. Porter EXHIBITS passion and excellent use of words.
And by the way, they don’t even need Schumer’s ok! That’s what is so nuts. Almost all his powers are informal.
You know people, https://senate.gov is publicly available and they publish transcripts of every day the Senate is in session!
Lord!
For instance, if the Senate convicted him tomorrow, there is zero chance he is staying in office.
