Just inconceivable amounts of recklessness. There’s now nobody at USAID to make sure our aid doesn’t go to terrorist groups. And the only reason we know this is thanks to an Inspector General – one Trump hasn’t fired yet. - ThreadSky

END UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Do you need it in a different language to understand? Avsluta enhälligt samtycke! Hopefully you got it now.

USAID is a CIA front. https://foreignpolicy.com/2014/04/03/cuban-twitter-and-other-times-usaid-pretended-to-be-an-intelligence-agency/#cookie_message_anchor

Senator Smith, we're behind you 100%, you are our elected voice. Please find a way to stop the dismantling of our democracy!

tacobell63.bsky.social•11 days ago

Sen Smith, you're my senator & I thank you for your service. But I'm disappointed you & Amy both voted unanimous consent for Gabbard yesterday. WHY are Sen Dems not OBSTRUCTING EVERYTHING in Senate? WHY? Why unanimous consent? Why aren't you playing hardball? This aids and abets GOP. WHY? WHY?

So...FRIGGIN' DO SOMETHING!!!!

Tina - our farmers are facing difficult economics with what Musk-Trump administration is doing. We need to do more for rural America, not destroy them financially. This all just devastating to watch knowing there’s nothing we can do out here.

We feel helpless out here. Can you assure us that Democratic caucus in Congress is working together to coordinate the resistance on this coup? From the outside, it seems like it’s scattershot and there’s not a plan. At least help us know what’s going on and what you need from us. This is an 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Get infront of the mics & ask the American people instead of hollowing out the govt. & causing pain & suffering 2 the 99% 2 give the 1% a $4 trillion tax cut how about we tax the American oligarchs $4 trillion?

Need to sue on his behalf to deter the attempt, these are all illegal acts.

More importantly... who will prevent Melania and Ivanka from getting more party money from USAID for their pet projects...

judinthepines.bsky.social•11 days ago

So what are you going to do to stop this madness? Words aren’t stopping him.

Keep fighting for USAID

seltsamerweise.bsky.social•11 days ago

DAMN THIS SEEMS ALMOST AS RECKLESS AS DOING NOTHING EFFECTIVE WHILE OUR GOVERNMENT IS TAKEN OVER ILLEGALLY IN A #COUP

UNLESS YOU'RE ABOUT TO DEPUTIZE US TO DO SO IN YOUR PLACE
GET TO FUCKING WORK HONORING YOUR OATHS

NO MORE WORDS
ENFORCE THE LAW

dionysia8.bsky.social•11 days ago

We know, Senator.
What are you and the other Dems going to do about it? All talk and no action does not help!

mylittlebloggie.bsky.social•11 days ago

Your refusal to do everything in your power to slow the blitzkrieg is shocking and shameful.

infraredtravels.bsky.social•11 days ago

Tell us what you'd like for her to do?

mylittlebloggie.bsky.social•11 days ago

Blanket opposition, quorum calls, and blocking unanimous consent

ltremmick.bsky.social•11 days ago

So are you going to finally start using all the levers you have to slowdown/stop Senate business, or nah?

annamayzing1.bsky.social•11 days ago

debinrst.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes, we also read the news. The question is what are you and the remaining Democrats doing about it? Those of us that wish to preserve democracy are need leadership, we want actionable items we can begin to implement!

Paraphrasing Bill Clinton:
“It’s saving the democracy stupid”

OBSTRUCT.

dbart31.bsky.social•11 days ago

Every Trump federal appointment and hiree should have there payroll disbursement frozen until all issues are resolved. Not one penny. Also, every American should now have the option of getting a new SSn without a fee or cost to them. Because of this huge data breach.

uwstout1980.bsky.social•11 days ago

I am still of the thought that the only way this ends well for anyone is if Minnesota and all the blue states create their own federal government.

mateotorgy.bsky.social•11 days ago

Or secede, and be annexed by Canada, which I’d be fine with.

harrisonfortitude.bsky.social•11 days ago

@smith.senate.gov Please work to change this first. Like immediately please.

"Recklessness" is a weird way to spell "intentional power grab to eliminate oversight of fascist agenda"

beagoode.bsky.social•11 days ago

Rep. Raskin proposed class-action suit against Musk by all US citizens for security breach of our data. But that's Federal. Would civil suit be subject to POTUS pardon power? If, instead, people in each State files a civil suit, would 50 state-court civil suits filed against Musk have any power?

fritzyc.bsky.social•11 days ago

I appreciate your posts with updates on what is happening. Can you also include what Congress is doing about each of these 5 alarm fires? That's the kind of updates information AOC gives and I'd love to see you do that too.

Do something! Where are the Democratic leaders that we have counted on and given money to to help us and protect us and this country? FIGHT!

notmine20172025.bsky.social•11 days ago

What aid? I thought all aid was stopped. The villionaires need that money because the billions they already have is just not enough. They always need more but never give the people in need any.

illluminati.bsky.social•11 days ago

Valid point! 🤔 Transparency in aid distribution is crucial. We need accountability from those in power.

Reckless is probably bad

Cautious loss aversion can be bad too

Every Republican holding public office in the US is supporting ending our constitutional democracy. Please don't find common ground with these fascist. Be the opposition party fiercely.

physicsglitch.bsky.social•11 days ago

I'd tell the Republicans that we're not even going to start negotiating about the impending shutdown unless all the IGs are restored and there is clear oversight of DOGE. Let the voters feel actual consequences of their electoral decisions.
