Think y’all do this but for the left. Like y’all keep trying to play the rules but yeh rules don’t seem to exist for anyone but you

Which is why D's should now tell R's that they will need to do the heavy lift to pass the next budget and debt ceiling. R's have the majority in both houses, make them get all their members behind their bills.

REPUBLICANS ARE NOTHING BUT A Whitesupremacist group.they should be investigated. They are stealing tax payers money. It's not what America wanted.

I don’t understand why you didn’t refuse to vote.

The last two weeks have revealed how fragile the American system is when it can be taken apart so easily.

We must regain control of house and senate & make changes to strengthen our democracy & protect from grifters and felons.

You know what... if this is the end of democracy its you're fault @democrats.org you refused to do something to stop this when you could, you're so busy trying to keep the status quo the Democratic party has become irrelevant as a political opponent. Do your job or never return to politics you bums!

Vought discussed how to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act. He's one of the more dangerous and dogmatic people I've researched. I'd like to see more prominent voices explore the bigger picture and possible consequences. We've been here before.

Thanks.

Yes they have no balz to stick with the Constitution or honor it!!!

Christian nationalists (like Vought) are not Christian - they're the antithisis Jesus' teachings, the main one being love your neighbour and even your enemies. Truth, mercy, justice, love not fear, kindness, honour, humility....they use Christianity name to carry out their evil schemes.

start messaging this:

if you aren’t a billionaire, you’re about to feel pain caused by trump/republicans/elon

say it to all of us Americans

especially say it to Red states, “Alabama, y’all are about to get hurt real bad by your elected officials because they voted to make sure you lose your..”

Not tough enough

Because they are such cowards. All the people trump is hiring should look at Jess Session road to disaster.

They don’t care about us

beermama.bsky.social•15 days ago

Because they are being bribed with retaliation they are all going to confirm everything. Doesn’t matter.

THE IMPEACHMENT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY STARTED. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PARTY?????

sfwoodworth57.bsky.social•15 days ago

Problem is @GOP owns legislative branch & have no guts to stand up to Trump. We need to start strategic work to replace @GOP house & senate members that are complicit with Trump’s actions & no longer protecting the constitution or our rights. #DownWithTrumpAutocracy
#MidtermRestoration
#EndTheLies

@GOP has no sense of right for America. We need to remember this & plan to replace those that have been complicit with Trump actions! Trump has taken over the Legislature branch & Judicial Branch. No longer independent. Need to put in those willing to correct Trump’s wayward actions #EndTyranny

To Republicans, causing chaos is a feature, not a bug.

And don't forget that Republicans/Trump just instituted a new tax on the working class. The 10% tariff tax will generate $20 billion this year, $200 billion over next 10 years.

They even created a new ERS (external revenue service) to collect the tax! GOP is a disaster for the working-class!

dcchiller.bsky.social•15 days ago

Just admit it Democrats, you are done! You can’t do anything against Trump and his minions. It’s a sad state for sure! So should you start fighting fire with fire?

bmt1895.bsky.social•15 days ago

Please ask every Republican senator - why they voted for a fascist??

rob-reiner-fan.bsky.social•15 days ago

Newly confirmed White House budget director Russell Vought is the co-author Project 2025 and an election denier. This appointment erodes democratic norms, weakens oversight, and further paves the way for authoritarian practices.

kay4bluetexas.bsky.social•15 days ago

And what exactly are you DOING about it besides complaining to us and wringing your feeble hands? I'm so sick of you right now. All the money and time I've spent supporting you and THIS is how you repay me?
