And you voted for Trump nominations. You voted in agreement with a fascist dictator and his fascist cronies during a literal takeover of our government. You will never get my vote or that of many of your constituents. Hope the payout was good, because you won't win another election in Washington.

eiwoontner.bsky.social•15 days ago

Lost my vote too.

zarathenurse.bsky.social•14 days ago

Same

banzairoundeye.bsky.social•15 days ago

Musk gained access to student loan databases. You and the rest of the Dems are continually late to the fight. The courts get an order through AFTER the damage is done, and you all give the Senate a quorum to get steam rolled. Useless. Ineffective. Out of touch. Too late. Not enough!

zarathenurse.bsky.social•14 days ago

Needs to be voted out. She lost my vote

pokieknows.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only way to remove the conflict is to REMOVE MUSK! He has no business being in the position of advisor to 47. He must go!

bubbielou.bsky.social•15 days ago

What ACTION are you going to take against Musk? He has broken the law and should be arrested. He made fools out of a Congressional delegation that tried to enter the Department of Education today. His thugs stopped them dead in their tracks. He is confident that Congress will play by the rules.

zarathenurse.bsky.social•14 days ago

She voted yes on Bessent who gave Musk access to our data

tarn-barn.bsky.social•15 days ago

Elon Musk and his staff must be removed period. They are a danger to our security and our country. Fight harder to get them out!

darisa-greene.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why isn’t law enforcement enforcing the laws rather than locking our electeds out of buildings?

foxrunnana.bsky.social•15 days ago

Thanks Senator. The situation is clear. Next steps to clear as well. Good luck and keep us up to date

mel-a.bsky.social•12 days ago

What action are you taking to combat this move?

sandgirl.bsky.social•14 days ago

All Dems need to stay united against the Project 2025 agenda being implemented. You are my Senator and I encourage you to reach out to Maria Perez in the house. She is voting with Republicans and not representing her constituents or the party.

susyjacobs.bsky.social•15 days ago

But your “yes” vote on Bessent undermines this “strongly worded letter.” Time to be bolder in your checks on this corruption.

skyegh.bsky.social•14 days ago

Your “yes” vote for Bessent is giving Susan Collins hand-wringing and still voting to screw the American people. Grow a shiny spine and say NO.

blueannie24.bsky.social•14 days ago

Elon Musk Must Be Removed!

amyjfisher.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please use your platform to speak up and keep speaking up. @murray.senate.gov is doing a fantastic job. Elon musk be removed. Also, please vote no on nominees. No more voting yes. This whole administration is not qualified.

cocokitty879.bsky.social•15 days ago

Any comment on why you voted to confirm Scott Bessent? How about some real communication?

Can a lawsuit be used to ask for the legal system to intervene? I know that the power of our representatives in Congress is limited at the moment. But I wonder if enough lawsuits in enough districts can be effective in providing oversight to what DOGE is doing.

Why did you do this? It is no longer business as usual. It is time for Congress to play hardball and arrest Musk and his Rats. I will be looking for a response as to why you installed this person as Sec. of the Treasury. Stand up and resist.

waitingfortheday.bsky.social•14 days ago

I can’t believe some of the names on here!
I feel like a chump!

waitingfortheday.bsky.social•14 days ago

I will not vote for these traitors, they sold my information to the highest bidder! Go screw!

billmcculloch.bsky.social•15 days ago

We agree. What are YOU are doing about this?

lindquistk.bsky.social•15 days ago

Might be easier to simply remove Elon from the government.

cerri-dwenn.bsky.social•15 days ago

@Senator Maria Cantwell: Good, now stop voting for 47's noms.

sorrydave.bsky.social•15 days ago

Blah blah blah. You voted for 4 of his appointees you fucking moron. YOU are now part of the problem. You aren’t solving anything. Go away and let real Americans fix the disaster you CONTRIBUTED to, you lethargic-brained traitor.

beauxregaard.bsky.social•15 days ago

Look who finally found her keyboard. Honestly, I would prefer seeing a thread of reasons why you had a hand in nominating such vile traitors. Got some explaining to do there.

waitingfortheday.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s nice to see you speak up here, very disappointed in your votes to move trumps noms forward.

victoria-d.bsky.social•14 days ago

Would you be interested in forming a group? Perhaps we can do some political organizing, work on mutual aid and build a community and coalition of like-minded people to help fight this fascist take over. We need a strong community. Feel free to DM me.

peggyfoy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why did you vote to confirm Bessent? What are you actually doing to stop any of this? When I went to your Seattle office on Monday your staff gave nothing but smugness, and no answers. How come you’re not out there fighting like Patty Murray is?

sickjon.bsky.social•15 days ago

You lost your credibility when you voted to confirm Bessent.
You act like this is all normal.
You clearly lack the urgency and seem to lack the courage this moment demands.

How are you going to stop him?

hhousleyy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Maybe some of the Trump cabinet nominees you voted for can return the favor by helping out?

simianinsight.bsky.social•12 days ago

There are numerous other conflicts of interest with Musk. Pending lawsuits he'll be able to purge, his crypto involvement, his Starlink telecommunications, his social media interests, his ambition to have Xitter a global payment system, the financial debt Trump owes him.

shostycola.bsky.social•14 days ago

I need to know you’ll be a NO on all Trump nominees from here on out because your YES votes so far, and your total lack of grit or fight, are weak sauce bullshit. I have voted for you every time, and maybe for the last time. GET IN THE FUCKING RING AND FIGHT!

waitingfortheday.bsky.social•14 days ago

Thank you for writing this, but asking Sean Duffy nicely isn't going to do anything. We need more from you and all Democrats in Congress to stop this active takeover of the federal government. Oppose unanimous consent. Don't bring kindness to a knife fight.

numanumanumist.bsky.social•13 days ago

You, and other d.a. Senators, that vote to confirm the most unqualified cabinet picks in my lifetime, and not arrest musk for fear of trump, shows exactly why so many of you will be primaried next election. Good riddance.

natalie-williams.bsky.social•15 days ago

Impeach!

katsimay501.bsky.social•15 days ago

I and 30 of my friends from Olympia Indivisible went to your Tacoma office Tuesday morning and could not even talk to a staffer. Very disappointing. Glad to see you speak up about this constitutional crisis at last. The Senate will make itself obsolete if it does not stop ignoring this illegality.

bubbielou.bsky.social•15 days ago

If Sen. Cantwell cannot defend democracy through decisive action then perhaps, in the next election, she should be primaried by someone who will. It is not business as usual.

zarathenurse.bsky.social•14 days ago

This

victoria-d.bsky.social•14 days ago

Hello, I'm up north of you; I think we need a larger local coalition. Would you consider meeting with some of the other Indivisible groups to brainstorm on strategy and mutual aid? I think it's time we stop playing by the old rules and make some new ones! Feel free to dm me.

Should have kept that “conflict of interest” energy when voting no on allowing us to get prescription drugs from Canada at a cheaper cost meanwhile your bankrolling off big pharma! We will be sure to walk you out the door for a better dem to lead us.

Welcome Senator! We need Congress to exert their co-equal power. Please take a lead from Gov. Pritzker in making sure those in the J6 reports can't work in federal government. 14th Amendment, Sec 3. There's no way they can get 2/3 to allow exceptions. What would McConnell do? Learn from the snake.

usctrojanage.bsky.social•15 days ago

In the name of goodness, peace, rule of law, and the Constitution. We need you guys to fight. We elected you to fight. You cannot expect the American people to take to the streets everyday. We need you guys to cut some deals!

What milk toast horseshit is this? Get your ass out in front of the building currently being occupied and dismantled by Elon Musk. This is not a fucking game. These people are currently destroying the federal government.

If you live in western Wa and want to affect real change and stop this madness, please consider getting together and forming a group to work for change in real life! It's clear we as a community and as democrats need to come together and take back our government. Feel free to dm me.

Hi. You're my state senator. I tried calling your office only to find your voice box full, which could be good. I'm encouraging you to slow everything down as best as possible in the Senate. Use McConnell's techniques for filibuster. And by all means, don't vote to approve any of his nominees!!

Where have you been and what have you been doing as one of our senators to stop the daily assault on our democracy? Do more. Do better. As a WA resident who voted for your reelection, represent us. Do whatever it takes—that’s your job. So far, you’ve been seemingly silent and complicit.
