Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada and has started a trade war with them, bringing relations with our neighbor to their lowest point in any of our lifetimes.
If you think it's okay to confirm his ambassador anyway, you lack the gravity to serve in any office, much less U.S. Senator.

bipartisan co-operation. ZERO! For the next four years, if the Dems had any balls, they would vote 100% no to anything the Republicans say. But of course they won't because they are soft. 100% NO!

Carney has handled Trump:
What IS she doing??
@shaheen.senate.gov
He's unfit bc he's a far right racist crank, not bc he's naturalized as a kid
But it also takes him out of state politics, where he's less incompetent than most GOPers.
From their previous votes to confirm Rubio, Bessent, and even Noem, I’ve concluded that they’re unprincipled, stupid, clubby and craven.
In Nov of 2030, the 17 imaginary independents that exist only in James Carville’s head, will look back to this and think “Slotkin reached across the aisle and in an act of bipartisanship voted for Pete Hoekstra in April of 2025. This has earned her my vote.”
Do you know what % of MI's population ID as Dutch Reform?
Do you know how those counties are trending?
Were you too illiterate to read my OTHER point, that Slotkin may have interacted with Hoekstra when he was HPSCI leader?
How abt my point abt state politics?
Is it simply, “we can’t be tied up with confirmation hearings and votes, we need to move on.”?
It's a strategy to keep safe Dem electeds in office and wealthy and nothing else.
That said, dems are still not treating the dangers represented by this administration seriously enough
Their compliance is not needed, so I don't understand why they would provide any help.
They gain nothing.
Ofjectionable.
Least unpleasant or offensive.
Dear majority of Democrats. This NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL (unless you've been dealing in graft, theft and cowardice all along).
Wisconsin showed there’s a way and a midterm should be incredibly winnable if it’s fair even if some states are worse than others. Fascists 1/
Most people to the left of MAGA but the right of Sanders still wants this stuff done. 2/2
They’re dilettantes.
Unless all of that legislating was just so you could send fundraising emails?
What possible upside is there to voting for this? Especially when the GOP never reciprocates in any way?
Given the shite the admin has nominated, a Dem can easily put to any number of reasons not to vote for them, from Rubio down tbh
Hassan (NH) 202-224-3324 / 603-622-2204
Kaine (VA) 202-224-4024 / 804-771-2221
King (ME) 202-224-5344 / 207-622-8292
Klobuchar (MN) 202-224-3244 / 612-727-5220
Peters (MI) 202-224-6221 / 517-377-1508
Slotkin (MI) 202-224-4822
Warner (VA) 202-224-2023 / 804-775-2314
At least @whitehouse.senate.gov and Reed of RI did the right thing.
The answer, Dems, is simple. Fuck No
TBH, this really seems like political ineptness more than anything else.
For shame, Governor
Republicans have 53 votes. They only need 50. Every single nominee passes without any democratic votes. You all pissing yourself over stupid crap like this would be hilarious if not so fucking stupid. No one. And I mean NO ONE cares about this in real life
I don't understand why they're so eager to support the regime.
We hold grudges up here. 🇨🇦
As I addressed you in the previous sentence;
You Stupid Motherfuckers.

@fetterman.senate.gov Expected it only of you, Sen. Fetterman.
Senate Democrats want to work with MAGA, there is no other explanation other than the simplest one
Case in point.
