Trump’s slashing the federal workforce. Who does it hurt? 30% are veterans! (Private workforce is only 5% veterans.) President attacking vets? No surprise since he called them “losers.” I'm pushing back! www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog... - ThreadSky

neptuniandemocracy.bsky.social•80 days ago

Filibuster the confirmation vote and bring articles of impeachment ~ that’s what we the people want

How is this ok???

mcmiele.bsky.social•80 days ago

How are you pushing back? We need to know. Specifics and ideas for us would help.

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•80 days ago

Also what we can do to support what the opposition is doing.

carcarhenline.bsky.social•81 days ago

And military spouses

elizabethsullivan.bsky.social•81 days ago

Meanwhile today Musk proposed the State Department spend $400 million on purchasing HIS company’s latest EV truck!!! No conflict of interest there!

hikercat.bsky.social•81 days ago

Funding cuts and staffing cuts impact millions: The money USAID budgeted pays our farmers to grow the food, our truckers to get the foods to the docks, our dock workers to load the foods onto ships that ship the food.

The ROI is even greater when recipients don't have to reply on China/Putin

STOP THE COUP!!

jenkinspj.bsky.social•80 days ago

Tell us you are and other senators are doing about it!

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•80 days ago

And tell us what we can do to support the opposition!

kansasgremlin.bsky.social•81 days ago

Maybe you could push back by NOT confirming his shitty cabinet picks.

donellgmab.bsky.social•81 days ago

It only took 53 days
#DOGE is how he will do it.

atricebea.bsky.social•81 days ago

I'd love to know HOW you are pushing back. Do tell.

atricebea.bsky.social•72 days ago

Senator Kaine, you "liked" my comment, and it's not a rhetorical question. We'd all like to understand and know what is being done for vets and for everyone who is caught in megalomaniac cross fire. This is terrifying.

Apparently I am going to have to change my name from my married name to my maiden name in Court to be able to vote if the SAVE Act passes - can you focus on this problem. No one is married at birth... yet.

rizzocampbell.bsky.social•80 days ago

Or get a passport. I know in my state, I wouldn’t be able to change back to my maiden name without filing in court.

rikbasterd.bsky.social•80 days ago

Here's a primer in fighting back for you.
Grow a spine.

rikbasterd.bsky.social•80 days ago

More 'news reports' from the soon to be retired...

Either do something or shut up.

We know what is happening.

What we don't know is what you are doing to challenge all of this.
Seems like nothing.

temorton.bsky.social•81 days ago

Two men who have never served their country.

kindasketchy.bsky.social•80 days ago

Or anyone but themselves.

evaskid.bsky.social•80 days ago

Our Democratic leaders are looking very weak right now, and before. What are YOU doing about it other than "writing a letter"?

You are pushing back? What does that even mean?

It's time to roll up your sleeves and stop pussy footing around.

ericsadventures.bsky.social•80 days ago

ahh see that's it has teeth great point help your 💙peers do better with their social media. 💙 your getting zero news feed

sandrafith.bsky.social•80 days ago

It’s appearing more and more likely that Musk has Trumpty Dumbty by the balls. Hmmmmm.

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•80 days ago

Tell us more! How are you pushing back and what can we do to help?

ltjohansen.bsky.social•80 days ago

Tell us how you’re pushing back.

commandersnmgal.bsky.social•80 days ago

I hope all those veterans that voted for him see what he’s doing to them.

frostedwhisper.bsky.social•80 days ago

All over my town there were veterans for trump signs...how did they forget?

jgshrampworth.bsky.social•81 days ago

Literally not even hiding his puppet master. Need to start making Trump puppets

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•80 days ago

That’s a great idea!

etherialspirit.bsky.social•80 days ago

Please push him so hard that he falls over and can't get up.

godisgreaterthan.bsky.social•80 days ago

19% are African American/Black and middle class. This is a an attack and not okay. What are you doing about it Senator?

swankybeige.bsky.social•81 days ago

Respectfully, Let’s go then!

windbent.bsky.social•80 days ago

Remember: 22 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to confirm Douglas Collins to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs. That included you.

charlene411.bsky.social•81 days ago

mrsscs.bsky.social•81 days ago

Start by removing/revoking contracts with all Musk businesses and making a fine for any federal and state government phones, computers, ect, to have Musk businesses on them due to Constitutional Compromise. Add all Meta to this order, too.

fiddycentva.bsky.social•81 days ago

Senator Kaine, please give more detail in your posts about how you are pushing back. Thank you

air1987.bsky.social•81 days ago

PLEASE!

nellnora.bsky.social•81 days ago

How are you pushing back??? We need details. (Why did you vote for the puppy killer and all the other unqualified cabinet picks?)

wanderingvoron.bsky.social•80 days ago

Pushing back how? By flapping your lips?
Maybe the dems should try a novel new approach and DO something!

chichinj.bsky.social•81 days ago

Price of eggs are ⬆️ but The State Department will GIVE Elon Musk $400,000,000 for that ugly ass, USELESS Cyber Truck! This is OUR FUCKING MONEY!

marganatsfan.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you Senator. Almost everyone you meet in NoVa are military, retired military, or offspring of military veterans (such as myself)

wickit411.bsky.social•81 days ago

It hurts everyone! Yes, it hurts veterans. Push back, don't back down. There's no negotiating/comprising with Nazis! Resist!

atomicdoug.bsky.social•81 days ago

It also hurts Virginia and Maryland

renzelen.bsky.social•80 days ago

Hmm..🤔

saneplanet.bsky.social•79 days ago

WTF? YOU NEED TO GO --- YOU COWARD

becky-swva.bsky.social•81 days ago

If you ever want any of us in Virginia to vote for you again, you're going to have to do a lot better than this. We want to know *what* you are actively doing to "push back."
If all you are doing is *talking about doing* and signing ineffective letters, your constituents are not impressed.

1stamendvet.bsky.social•80 days ago

He realized that too many of us still believe in our oath to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.

demsrock.bsky.social•80 days ago

How?

raceandrelations.bsky.social•80 days ago

Look how he is looking at him like he’s saying “you better do whatever the hell I told you to do”

right2revolution.bsky.social•80 days ago

Medically retired Marine veteran here. I cannot find the words that can come remotely close to describing the rage and disgust that I feel seeing traitors of the American people, constitution and way of life speak of, and treat veterans like trash. We sacrifice every day. We deserve better. #resist

navydad02.bsky.social•80 days ago

It'll be funny when Musk is facing charges for his illegal activities and Trump decides he never knew him......

kindnessnmercy.bsky.social•81 days ago

Kaine among 24 Senate Dems voting to confirm election-denier to head the VA.
Tim Kaine voted to confirm Kristi Noem to head Homeland Security.
Do you call that pushing back?

haavyc.bsky.social•81 days ago

Stall and disrupt every step of the way for the next 4 years!

marisavines.bsky.social•81 days ago

Why did you vote for Noem?

rbmagee.bsky.social•81 days ago

It's also going to hurt all of Virginia (particularly rural schools and infrastructure) when a sizeable chunk of NOVA income taxes that comprise much of the state's revenue don't roll in.

witchy-smalls.bsky.social•80 days ago

Is Trump aware un-employment rate should be a low number, kind of like his beloved golf? Bc I feel like he’s confused

juliedwards.bsky.social•74 days ago

NO TO DOGE AND ELON MUSK! What they’re doing is illegal! I know you’ll stand up to them and I urge you to continue this fight!
