You voted for this @lisamurkowski.bsky.social. Your party voted for this. Your state voted for this.

Big words from someone that sucks orange cock all day...for years.

Murkowski and Collins are a joke, why waste your time writing about them. They just want to be on TV, lie then go high five the rest of Trump's dirty balls lickers.

reneedodson.bsky.social•2 days ago

You all watched republicans confirm the worst government cabinet in US history so you already know how they’ll vote.
Republicans are counting on voter suppression laws, purging voters and gutting civil rights to win in 2026.

Time for her to cross the goddamn aisle and reject those gop fascists for good.

bookofmimi.bsky.social•2 days ago

But will vote with her party every time except when she knows they have enough votes that hers wouldn’t matter

Farmers are suing the Department of Agriculture for deleting climate change data farmers use to make decisions and for destroying vital data used for agricultural research.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING!!! IN 2017, ASTROPHYSICIST STEPHEN HAWKING WARNED THAT HUMANS WOULD BE EXTINCT ON EARTH IN 100 YEARS. I am a Ph.D. scientist, educator, entrepreneur, and author with a passion to make sure that doesn’t happen. Please Follow: https://www.instagram.com/100yearstoextinction/

Wow even the farmers are being pushed to complain.

jt3ou123.bsky.social•2 days ago

That's wild. The Taliban did the same thing when they took power in Afghanistan! Why are people so afraid of climate and weather?

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•2 days ago

They should FOIA it!

Farmers voted overwhelmingly for #Felon47. Maybe they should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and so their own research and not rely on handouts.

joemomma420lsd.bsky.social•1 day ago

They voted for it no way Jose

Congressman McCormick of Georgia told reporters DOGE may be moving “a bit too fast” after he was pilloried at a local town hall with constituents. Rep. LaMalfa said he’s worried about agricultural staff cuts. Senator Vurtis called DOGE “reckless and rash”.

LaMalfa should be worried about the National Parks and US Forest Service cuts. Also FEMA since his CD is always having big fires.

cottagedweller.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then DO something.

jimbobvanl.bsky.social•1 day ago

Saying Muskrat's DOGE is "moving a bit too fast" is akin to saying the guillotine blade is "a bit too sharp".

Consumers grew more pessimistic about the economic outlook in February as worries brewed about a slowing economy and rising inflation, the Conference Board reported Tuesday.

My grocery bill was 5 times higher for the same food I always buy. I guess I won't have to join weight watches 😅

Since he loves to attach his name to everything, let's help him: it's called Trumpflation.

Also, the apparent shutdown of 10 social security offices and the firing of staff that handle the social security website.

There’s discrepancies in how much DOGE says its saving and what the reality appears to be.

Useless. Concerns, thoughts and prayers! Do something while we still have a country to fix.

Until they speak on the record, I am not fucking interested nor do I believe it

The only thing that Trumpty Dumbty ever takes ownership of is other people's accomplishments -- while blaming everyone else for his constant fuck-ups.

Then they need to grow some BALLS and do so publicly.

They’re all LIARS.

colescrumbs.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cruz hopeful what he voted for doesn’t take effect 🤦‍♀️FUUUUUCK!!!!

pitchforks4us.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is all Trump's fault. He was supposed to fix everything. Instead he's fucking everything up. Every. Single. Thing. Is this what people voted for?

nkxq.bsky.social•2 days ago

U.S. just denied the sale of Gripen aircrafts to Colombia, as Trump wants to sell F-16s instead. How will this affect the use of U.S. made components in future generations of military products? How will that affect the U.S. exports in the industrial sector in the long run?

Thinking you missed the butcher and his henchman go after Zelensky.

stefank1117.bsky.social•2 days ago

Again: I told you so, MAGA.

makeadifference.bsky.social•2 days ago

Doing great, especially when President Zelensky so wonderfully joined our ranks by not buying the sludge from the Orange Slime Bag. and his slithery VP and horrific Little Marco.

Don't forget the dramatic staff cuts to SSA which will force us to pay for programs that we will never get to collect benefits on if we need them due to staffing levels.

Never fear, that money will simply be diverted away from SSA to other areas like the Tesla Grant-Accepting Bureau

At least some of them getting it gives me a sliver of hope.

used2balawyer.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not me. They don’t have the balls to follow through.

used2balawyer.bsky.social•2 days ago

But they’re doing nothing about it, because they’re COWARDS.

REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS ARE CORRUPT.

sandym124.bsky.social•2 days ago

Took them long enough!

trish01.bsky.social•1 day ago

A bit? They are supposed to be looking for fraud and waste and they are so lazy. All they are doing is destroying our government. Then destroying the work that took years, money and devotion to accomplish. And they don’t want any proof. Without proof they’ll just make shit up.
