Look at who their donors/employers are? Those are the reasons for their actions. They work for their corporate donors, not the American people.

1000% on this. It's hardly limited to politicians, but jfc, these people have really demanding jobs.

Why do we re-elect these bastards term after term and no one runs against them? Schumer and Jeffries are going on book tours. Omfg

@schumer.senate.gov is a Washington swamp creature and he needs to go. When is @aoc.bsky.social running for his seat already? We are ready.

Thanks for this!!! Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was touring around for the "young adult" version of her book not long after inauguration, after touring a lot for the original edition last year.

I'm a big fan and know she's not a federal elected official but it felt ... not necessary to say the least.

And once again I’m on the phone begging Chuck Schumer not to be an embarrassment.
