Heard that before and the next day they confirmed 2.

He's a minority....means nothing because it takes enough magat senators to cause it...
Not happening

It's only lip service

happygumbo.bsky.social•17 days ago

Or how about, "...until forever"?

daicing1636.bsky.social•17 days ago

It has to get a lot fiercer. They can do this for every agency Musk claims he has "deleted."

carrierep.bsky.social•17 days ago

A little late. Bondi needed to not ever be let in. Maybe you can do something about Patel.

theresavermont.bsky.social•17 days ago

Too little too late.

beachandtreesplz.bsky.social•17 days ago

We need all of them to do this!

karit24.bsky.social•17 days ago

They all need to do this @schumer.senate.gov

$43,000,000.00 for a gas station in Afghanistan that no one uses.

WTF

cowgirljenni.bsky.social•16 days ago

Are you absolutely sure of that? And is that what actually happened or what is in the books?

fifilepeu.bsky.social•16 days ago

It’s been widely reported on going back to 2015 that I have observed. It was stated the Pentagon funded it but now that we have access to USAID and see what they were funding - it’s clear and obvious money laundering.

cowgirljenni.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ok, but for what purpose? Did the money actually help people?

There was a lot going on in Afghanistan. Recently, we just abandoned families of our military trying to get here to the US.
Anything with Afghanistan in the last decades has layers to the story.

fifilepeu.bsky.social•15 days ago

It funded the Taliban, it funded causing coups in other countries, it funded NGO’s that did damage to other countries, it funded brainwashing with trans plays and Marxist ideologies in other countries, coups. This was money laundering under the guise of help. Look into it.

fifilepeu.bsky.social•15 days ago

It helped Chelsea Clinton. It funded “gain of function research”. Created Covid 19 and a world wide pandemic. It helped hospitals earn money but wasn’t helpful to people who got sick and died. It helped big pharma and its stock holders, but not people who got cancer,blood clots/organ failure.

cowgirljenni.bsky.social•15 days ago

If you are seriously claiming that it "created Covid 19", you are more delusional than I have any way of addressing. I had Covid 19 before it had that name and we knew what was happening. I nearly lost my uncle to it before that.

cowgirljenni.bsky.social•16 days ago

To say it a different way, yes, US Aid has been used by other departments in the government (CIA, Military) as ways of funnelling money. That does not directly equate to Easter.

nontrivialdata.bsky.social•17 days ago

What the F are you talking about? What resistance? There has literally been no resistance from dems, let alone fierce.

bakakarasu.bsky.social•17 days ago

THEY SHOULD STALL HIS NOMINEES ANYWAY! ANY SUPPORT FOR TRUMP IS A SUPPORT FOR HIS COUP!

bobbifl.bsky.social•17 days ago

Need to resist for 4 years, not just USAID.

terribletacos.bsky.social•17 days ago

erickbt.bsky.social•17 days ago

Just keep @schumer.senate.gov from speaking or being involved

nestverchgruffydd.bsky.social•17 days ago

No. No it’s not.

I’m going to start mailing out white feathers.

biopic-podcast.bsky.social•17 days ago

Brian Schatz is a hero

ksadylady.bsky.social•17 days ago

This will accomplish nothing because most of the dems are too squishy to be the wall they need to be

maldenrosselle.bsky.social•17 days ago

Let the mice stand up

kernighan.bsky.social•17 days ago

He literally has not done this, unfortunately.

srqwhy.bsky.social•17 days ago

So tRump will just make Interim Appointments.

truebluepj.bsky.social•17 days ago

So there is a spine somewhere in the caucus.

johnwmich.bsky.social•17 days ago

About fucking time!

algamble.bsky.social•17 days ago

Did he actually announce this for clicks/follows? It sure looks that way... unfollow

rocqueen.bsky.social•17 days ago

Thank you

amy-norcal.bsky.social•17 days ago

Can we grind the country to a halt for a day of protest? 24 hours of nationwide transit, commerce, government, other strikes. Other countries have had some sectors effectively strike on the same day. Could it be done here?

primrosewoods.bsky.social•17 days ago

Why are they not holding up his current unqualified nominees? Gabbard, RFK and Patel?? No bloody resistance is the problem!

spakonacailleach.bsky.social•17 days ago

This should have been happening all along. Not one of his appointees is qualified to begin with.

zenithsmom.bsky.social•17 days ago

What about the rest of them?? Is he the only Senator with real guts?

laart20.bsky.social•17 days ago

Awesome!!! That’s it democrats, start blackmailing those bastards, twist arms, do whatever you have to do

carlosmarrufo.bsky.social•17 days ago

Well this is start. We need more men, women, not cowards.

shjo.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yes! Don't back down!!

h0stile.bsky.social•16 days ago

Most of the nightmare fuel has already been approved anyway.

Expediency matters when you’re fighting for your freedom

cindymonica.bsky.social•16 days ago

Thank you Senator Schatz for fighting back

5thonthe4th.bsky.social•17 days ago

That’s too limited: he and every single Democrat member of both Congressional houses must flatly refuse to support any and every Trump/MAGA/FarRight measure on the floor. It doesn’t matter what it is: we absolutely must throw a wrench in the works, make them claw for anything, delay and deny.

superlanyard.bsky.social•17 days ago

thatguykurt.bsky.social•17 days ago

Arresting musk is a more important task.

bennettth.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hola Kurt, puedes enviarme un mensaje de texto?

thatguykurt.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hola Bennett.

freight-train.bsky.social•17 days ago

He said that 2 DAYS ago.
Hasn’t done it yet.
Yesterday 22 senators approved trump’s pick for VA.

It’s all BS. Dems capitulated. All rest is just PR.

lovesmaine.bsky.social•17 days ago

About time…

rningrid.bsky.social•17 days ago

I haven't seen him do it yet! Bondi got confirmed!

petenbklyn.bsky.social•17 days ago

Agree.. if that's the case Bimbo Bondi got confirmed.
I mean WTF, over?

k2rm.bsky.social•17 days ago

Weak at cat piss.

unlabeledelder.bsky.social•17 days ago

He didn't do it...

cudsrev.bsky.social•16 days ago

People have been screaming at the Dems in Congress to do something. They are doing it. Now, how do we support them in the fight?

marcgrambo.bsky.social•17 days ago

No need! Al Green is coming to the rescue with impeachment theater. We don’t need to do anything anymore. Yay impeachment! 🤦🏻‍♂️

chem-mom-of-4.bsky.social•17 days ago

How long before we are no longer allowed to gather. This just in, Ohio.

luvstoskict.bsky.social•17 days ago

Nope. One man out of 100 cannot make that happen. So far Schumer is shouting thoughts and prayers and not doing anything along with the other 44 dems. None of them have stepped up with a filibuster on any of the nominees.

luvstoskict.bsky.social•17 days ago

None of the 45 have done anything to stop the illegal transfer of our personal data to Elon. Do you think Pam Bondi will indict Elon for this illegal action? Laughable.

bluestateblue.bsky.social•17 days ago

He should pause them all until democracy is back.

beth94103.bsky.social•17 days ago

Should have been doing this all along.

cuzitworks.bsky.social•17 days ago

😂😂😂😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄what resistance?!!!?!
