Indeed. It's be nice to see other Dems understand it's *their* role to be the attack dogs, to stand up and bluntly say "Republicans believe Congress is their private club. They don't own it, the people do, and the people sent Sarah McBride. Anything less than equal treatment is unacceptable." - ThreadSky

The monumental grace that Sarah McBride is showing right now is astounding.

I hate that the most consistent reaction from almost all of them throughout all of the last 8 years has been "Geez this is terrible, somebody else oughta do something about this!"

That would require them to have a spine.

So far the only congressional Dem I have seen respond in a non-evasive way is Pramila Jayapal, who has a trans kid.

Becca Balint's been out there.

I mean, she has to act with grace. If she didn't she'd get an incredible amount of backlash because that's what always happens.

She is a member of their party and they should have her back when it comes to being treated with a minimum amount of respect.

Seems like an “I am Spartacus!” moment when everyone needs to join her.

Sarah McBride is more of a lady than I will ever be. Respect. ✊

Are they going to stiffen their spines and do the work that we need? We’re sinking fast, they need to step all the way up now.

Apparently she's asked them to hold their fire on this occasion. She's not required to be the fang on an attack dog if she doesn't want to be. She'll be breaking new ground just by showing up with a suit on and being boring enough that people forget she's trans.

Maybe trans women should continue to use men's restrooms and stare pointedly at men's penises while smirking

👍✌️😀

Congress has done more to "protect" themselves in the bathroom than your children in schools.

Haven't seen news reports about 'trans attacks' in bathrooms but we've seen 1 or 2 school shootings...

Shame they aren't serious people.

I have a lot of doubts about Hakeem Jeffries. He avoids conflict.

gyllohs.bsky.social•101 days ago

GOP has zero respect for voters. They need to be called out.

danielplainview.bsky.social•101 days ago

The silent Democratic Party doesn’t have much more.

I think they should give her a private potty outside Mace’s door. Maybe occasionally she could use Mace’s desktop, as the patriots of Jan 6 found acceptable to do, or dodo.
