Last week, Kash Patel claimed not to know of mass firings at the FBI. Minutes after his hearing ended, Trump’s team ousted top FBI officials and demanded a list of thousands who investigated him.
Patel must come back before the Judiciary Committee to explain what he knew and when he knew it.

I'd call that milquetoast, but I don't want to offend milquetoast.
How about no dems vote to confirm him in a show of unity whether he answers those questions or not.
Dudes getting way too comfortable patronizing us while working against us
I know you’re busy sitting on your @ss while Qelon’s bed wetters download Treasury databases - but maybe pretend you gotta work.
we appreciate your time and efforts.
Very informative and helpful. Beautiful speech and loved the history!
1. Are you locked out of the Capitol?
2. How are you STOPPING MUSK?
Honest questions.
There's no time for diplomacy. We're in the fight of our lives.
I filed a criminal complaint with my AG. Find your AG:

It's not lost on the general public that we live in unprecedented times. That people like Kash Patel and the man wanting to hire him, want to subvert rule of law.
Because no, I'm not in your district. I'm not from Jersey. But I have followed your career since you were running for mayor of Newark.
Maybe you spent too much time around Chuck Schumer. Maybe you got disillusioned with the process.
You became the Gentleman from New Jersey.
I'd encourage all of you — Dems and Republicans — to take a long, hard look in the mirror in the Senate bathroom today.
And for you, Mr. Booker, to ask yourself something —
Or are you Cory Booker? The guy who has gone out of his way several times in his career to do the right thing?

And did he make any public comment decrying these actions?
Not voting for appointees would have been the first choice.
But now you're just a coward trying to sound informed and tough.
Fight or resign.
Senate Democrats to step up and shut it all down.
oh Mama's come pick up your babies from the Fed Building...
Stop helping them!
He should not get a chance to "explain" himself. The man should never be allowed anywhere near our institutions.
And then vote NO some more.
"The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
I’ve been trying to get through to Booker for the past several days and all of his mailboxes are full – DC and local. I’m so furious. Is he pulling a Fetterman on us?

DEMAND is a better word...w/ a LEGAL document he cannot blow off...like jim jordan did when he was issued a subpoena.
DO NOT CONFIRM ANYONE 45 HAS CHOSEN...they are inferior candidates for the positions they seek.
no more pussyfooting with 45 & his destructive agenda.
REMOVE MUSK NOW!
but he’ll just lie! He’ll lie and deny and lie some more as he’s been instructed to do so by Trump
Maybe put out some tear Just like Kavanaugh and others
What can we do about that?

Stop telling us what we already know and start fighting
And use really simple language.

No unanimous consent
No going home at 3pm
Screw norms

Punch them in the face for a change
You were elected by Ds. Start to fear your base voters the way Rs fear maga.
Dems are so damn weak.. and because of that, we have Trump in office.
Oh no!!! You think maybe he was being dishonest? Telling fibs, was he?
Of course, you must be seen to demand answers. Good show.
No one should trust you.
It so hard if you're fixing to join your republican colleagues in fucking us some more on not
Try this. "I am voting no on the ratfucker, Kash Patel, for the position ot FBI director. I apologize for voting to approve any of trump's picks, and vow to not do so again."
We need action from all of you now, not tomorrow or next week.
SHUT DOWN THE SENATE. You are not helping with your pithy quips during this constitutional crisis!
Norms do not exist anymore.
How are you going to prevent more damage?
Hold the line and vote No across the board.

We need our Democratic politicians to be proactive and not reactive.
We are far pass root cause analysis of what the Republicans are implementing to dissolve the United States as we know it.
