Thank you anyway! This was an important and worthwhile stance to take.

Thank you so much for introducing amendments to force these complicit (string of bad swear words) to put their traitorous behavior on the record.

bearcats44.bsky.social•36 days ago

You already it was going to happen. These are the most vain people in history

Go get em!

Thank you Rep. Jacobs for exposing this waste!

drchellem.bsky.social•36 days ago

I love it!

There are, however, bigger issues at hand. Trump is endangering our nation, turning law enforcement against states and citizens, taking our children, and threatening to send us to foreign prisons.

Will you vote for impeachment?

He can just use these instead

antifawen.bsky.social•36 days ago

Exactly what the fuck is the point of this?
Which moron on your team thought this was a good idea, let alone posting this spineless embarassment of so-called "action" like you actually did something?
This isn't even performative, it's just pathetic noise.

Jesus fuck your party is worthless.

Thank you!

chris-lahiff.bsky.social•36 days ago

Of course they did. Cowards

collinyourbs.bsky.social•35 days ago

Don't care. I'm tired of weak-ass performative bullshit. Do something substantive that actually matters or step aside for someone who will.

hollylib.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thank you for making the effort.

These Republicans are gay

bigbossluffy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah, we knew that when they crashed Grindr... multiple times.

pjolsen.bsky.social•34 days ago

Thank you for calling out the makeup BS, highlighting what lowlifes they are.

browneyedgirl876.bsky.social•32 days ago

Thank you Sara. People don’t seem to understand what is capable at this moment. You got them on record of supporting tax payer money for this junk. This is waste and abuse.

conanthegrammarian.bsky.social•36 days ago

Well-spoken, as usual! (And whoever that was sitting directly behind you appears to have gotten a big kick out of your words as well.) #PeakKegsbreath

Why are you people wasting your time on shit like this at this point? You have no power. They have no morals. You should be planning a fucking overthrow. This is why we are here becuz DEms haven't had a spine in like forever and stlll think rules and going high is gonna matter.

athousandkisses.bsky.social•36 days ago

This is fire!! I’m not one of your constituents but I appreciate you speaking out. 💈

trueblueschool5.bsky.social•35 days ago

Enlisted men need makeup? Is that like drag queen stuff? Dolly is going to be upset. What happened to chicks dig scars. Wait, it's about all those wrinkled old men isn't it.

carongolden.bsky.social•36 days ago

I guess this is more important than perhaps introducing an amendment to prohibit DOGE from shutting down government research organizations and the like. But you be you.

antitractionist.bsky.social•36 days ago

What’s your favorite part of Hegseth’s makeup routine?

carongolden.bsky.social•36 days ago

Oh, so much to choose from! I just hope he’s caring for his tender pores. He works out so much, you know. All that sweat mixed with foundation could be ruinous on air!

browneyedgirl876.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is the armed services committee. Do they cover research organizations?

digita1b0y.bsky.social•36 days ago

I forgot that the US government can only work on one issue at a time. 🙄

carongolden.bsky.social•36 days ago

Well, at least representatives. I like Sara. She’s my congresswoman. But while I don’t want my tax dollar to go to Hegseth’s well -lit makeup mirror I would hope it’s not a priority over the dissolution of the government.

digita1b0y.bsky.social•36 days ago

Of course. And fwiw, I'm sure it isn't. She knew damn good and well this wouldn't pass, and probably drafted the entire thing over a morning coffee. But now every single Republican is on record for being "pro make up studio". I'd say that's a pretty good ROI.

carongolden.bsky.social•36 days ago

😆

dean-ambrosini.bsky.social•36 days ago

Keep the makeup studio, get rid of him instead

denise-noy.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’m thinking lock him in there. With no devices
Only his stupid thoughts to listen to. Probably a bunch of whining

kimtrilby.bsky.social•35 days ago

It's almost as if cost and efficiency aren't what are driving the Grand Old Party.

kimtrilby.bsky.social•35 days ago

Your colleague behind you thinks it's hilarious.

textwhileudrive.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thank you for forcing them to show their hand

tennisdiva63.bsky.social•36 days ago

Thank you for pushing back.

azulito1.bsky.social•35 days ago

So the republicans all voted to use OUR TAX MONEY to build a makeup studio for the secretary of defense, but they are firing people because of “spending waste” in our government?…
WTF is going on here!
