Where is the backlash from the democrats and moderates? Why are there no actions being planned and announced? It seems that a call for impeachment daily would be acceptable
🤣🤣🤣🤣 do you think they still have souls… the Republican Party died a long time ago. What we’re dealing with now our neon Nazis. They don’t respect anything other than strength.
Thank you Senator Smith! Can you please work with all Democrats in Congress to come up with a comprehensive plan for how you will save America From Trump and the MAGA party? We are all terrified and while we appreciate a symbolic no vote against Hegseth, we need to see actual leadership.
Thank you, but we missed. Too bad we will not stop any other of the nominees either. No offense, but our legislature may not even exist. I have no faith that they'll be able to stand up for what is right & certainly not what the constituents want.
Yeah well it didn’t work….. you all failed us as the US Ppl. You are our voices, we depend on you to make things go right. So far our country is about to burn and I don’t see any loud help except AOC. And she is only one person DEMS need to be stronger, louder and braver than what they have been.
Thank you for your efforts... I have no words right now. We just handed our democracy to Putin. I hope the men and women of the military remembers their oaths to protect the constitution, and not the president. That's really all we can say. Stay safe out there everyone
Republican Senators are making a huge mistake handing the government over to 45.
They are undermining themselves &he’s using it centralize his power. He will ignore them like he does the Supreme Court. It would take 4 Republicans voting with Democrats to save what’s left our democracy.
At what point do you admit that you are being attacked & declare #civilwar? When does one say, "Enough, stop destroying the country!"? When do you realize that doing nothing during an invasion is being complicit? When does one realize they will not stop destroying unless you force them to stop?
🙏U were all excellent! Incredible impressive & comprehensive battle against incompetency. Powerful team effort showcased Ur experience to detail Hegs toxic misogyny, racism, & religious intolerance. 4 branch are proud of U Dems 🎶 No in chorus with each contributing Ur special verse. Keep it up.
Can you imagine our soldiers saluting Pete Hegseth and going to battle knowing a man like him is in charge of life and death decisions, tactical judgements, and the reputation of our armed services at home and abroad? SMH.
Senator Smith, ‘Minnesota Nice’ won’t cut it against an authoritarian takeover. We need grit, urgency, and action—NOW. Stop being polite and start fighting like our democracy is on the line, because it is! @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social
Thanks, Senator, but time to take a page from the old-school Republican playbook and “obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.” The GOP did this when they were in the minority, and it gummed up the works for awhile. Bi-partisanship and being conciliatory will not stop the avalanche. Become the “party of no.”

Glad you all did NOTHING to decry this fucking FARCE of an election
So glad your .
Stoked you let our voices get stolen/suppressed and said not a fucking WORD.
Go fuck yourselves. Really. You all did NOTHING for YEARS
#performancepatrtiotism sells some bullshit, but not for much longer
That was the plan. Make a good show of it, acting like there was a chance he’d not get the gig.
Can you suggest anyone better?
Did any Democrat?
If there is a better pick, name them.
Silent acceptance, losing really close. The Legacy Democrat way.
It means that he was confirmed and that the Democrats treating things like votes as normal and keeping to norms is why we're in this position to begin with. Given what he will do there should have been shouting and interruptions on the floor etc
Nope, not doing this tonight. We're in a really bad place, I agree, but I went through this doomsaying in 2000, 2004, 2016, and again now. I recognize you may be processing grief and anger, but I'm processed out right now.
We need action from the left, not the pussy footing we’re getting. This country is doomed because of fear? Laziness? Stupidity? Who knows, but buckle up folks, it’s going to get worse.
Thank you for voting with common senses and morals, Senator Smith. Sadly, it came down to our VP who looks like an awkward teenager doing his best to fit in with the school bullies.
Thank you for trying to block this unqualified person from holding such a position. I haven’t thanked you enough for working hard against such a tide of lies. Hang in there&just know we’re watching & we appreciate your fight. All senators affect the nation & our safety as a nation.

Susan, Lisa, and Mitch voted with Democrats, but a tie required Vance’s tie-breaking vote.
Our adversaries are gleefully watching the degradation of our military.

I notice that 7 Democrats voted to confirm Noem, which is very disappointing. I'm glad that unlike them, you have chosen to fight.
I feel like you all just hate republicans.

Brown shirts going into schools and hospitals. Shame on you.
And stay courageous.
Even when it's hardest to.
Because that's when every innocent American life in this country is going to need you to most for them to stay alive from here forward.
And need this from you... repeatedly.
Regards,
The American people.
Troops may need to decide whether to follow such an order, civilians and veterans such as myself will need no such order to return fire.
Aren't you fucked
Sincerely,
Someone who isn't going to die following idiots

You stand on the shoulders of Wellstone and Frankin. Show us you deserve my vote!
