Activate our military….. NOW! Arrest tRump, Husk, Vance, Speaker Johnson for treason and other crimes against the constitution. Hold military trials, hand down military sentencing, incarcerate the guilty in military prison.

catlady63.bsky.social•17 days ago

Get it done Senator.

marlymarieport.bsky.social•17 days ago

Then what are you doing to restore it? You have power. Right back like Brian schatz and stop talking about eggs. Talk about this constitutional crisis!

donellgmab.bsky.social•17 days ago

It only took 53 days.
Handpicked incompetents and doge is how he will do it.

How will you do that?

notmydictator.bsky.social•17 days ago

Amy, thank you for standing up. I feel so helpless. I participated in 50501 demonstrations on the 17th at the St. Paul Capitol. What else can we do to get involved?

zappapa.bsky.social•17 days ago

Was Amy there at the demonstration?

notmydictator.bsky.social•17 days ago

I did not see here there. But there was another representative there. I wish Amy could find the time to join the next one. I. Think it would be powerful.

So would you and the other dems like to make a unified post about how this is a constitutional issue and that your going to talk to your Republican colleagues. No budget bill if this continues

kcout.bsky.social•17 days ago

This is a nation-wide issue for social services organizations!

brokeshealds.bsky.social•17 days ago

It must be restored or what?

dwdingus.bsky.social•17 days ago

Didn't you get the memo from trump that any organization that helps the peasants rise above their status must be defunded and closed down. There is only room in this country for two classes. You're either rich or you are a peasant.

free-state-of-mn.bsky.social•17 days ago

You're a great reporter.

Pretty shit leader, but great reporting 👍

dunmare.bsky.social•17 days ago

Just stop, you’re only infuriating your voters more by your meaningless posts while the country burns. Take a position in Trumps cabinet where you belong.

seltsamerweise.bsky.social•17 days ago

HEY WOW DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO COULD TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION TO STOP THIS?

LIKE A US SENATOR?

OR IS COSPLAYING AS A JOURNALIST THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN ACHIEVE ORGASM ANYMORE?

YOU HAVE POWER THAT WE DO NOT.
USE IT OR GET OUT OF OUR WAY
YOU NAZI COLLABORATOR.

am-mccarthy.bsky.social•17 days ago

Amy has voted to confirm 6 of Trump's unqualified nominees

dunmare.bsky.social•17 days ago

🤬😡🤬

zappapa.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ok. You identified a problem, what are you doing?

I never see you doing much but posing.

sadiesmom62.bsky.social•17 days ago

Please get the cobwebs out of your head. DO NOT vote with the Republicans. That sends message to us that you are not fully in this fight for our democracy. For now the days of bipartisanship are over! You need to be in the fight 100 percent or move aside. I’m disappointed in you

bluewarrior64.bsky.social•17 days ago

I wonder how soon it will be before doge makes cuts to Congress. You know it's coming. Dictators don't need Congress. Strongly worded admonishments aren't going to do a damn thing.

imnobodywhoareyou.bsky.social•17 days ago

Unless you are taking DRASTIC action to stop Elon musk and doge, no strongly worded statements are going to save us from the destruction that Trump is bent on inflicting on this country. Putin owns him; he is going to do whatever Putin needs. The Senate needs to stop pretending otherwise.

kentruthfap.bsky.social•17 days ago

What about the Afghani refugees (men, women, and children) that have already been deported? The ones being delivered to the 'caring hands' of the Taliban? (NYT)

twochops.bsky.social•17 days ago

Good luck. Maybe if you continue to ask nicely…

greatplainsgrandpa.bsky.social•17 days ago

We elected you. Now we’re screaming at our Senators & Representatives: Do something real & meaningful to save our democracy. Show us.

patriotboy2025.bsky.social•17 days ago

It doesn't meet the MAGA Christo Fascist agenda though.

lynndaj.bsky.social•16 days ago

Are you doing ANYTHING?

djszumylo.bsky.social•17 days ago

Absolutely. Cutting funding to organizations like Lutheran Social Services hurts vulnerable people and undermines vital community support. Their work with refugees and others is essential, and this funding needs to be reinstated.

erineileengray.bsky.social•17 days ago

We want to see the number and monetary value of all federal government contracts awarded and to Musk’s companies.

andrewkarre.bsky.social•17 days ago

Again, *we know this.* You are a senator, not a news and opinion service.

Do you not understand how enraging this passive voice is: "must be restored"?

What are you doing right now?

dunmare.bsky.social•17 days ago

Thinking of the next meaningless post she’s going to make and thinking 💭 (let my constituents eat salad with a comb)

devongreen.bsky.social•17 days ago

This times 100.

pmwcan.bsky.social•17 days ago

She’s sitting in a corner eating Bon bons while watching the country she swore to protect gets erased. Oh, and she’s posting stupid shit here.

danmarstp.bsky.social•17 days ago

Quick, Amy! Call your senator!

pmwcan.bsky.social•17 days ago

Excellent

scoobij.bsky.social•17 days ago

Maybe if you guys showed a little emotion and acted like you give a crap! You guys are weak and letting this moment completely take you over. The silence from your party and their leaders is deafening. We see who you really are.

threnodyskein.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hey, they may be as stunned as we are. Stunned in to near silence. I think they are practiced at being less emotional. I’d like to see some fire in the belly, too.

uppidywoman.bsky.social•17 days ago

Same happened here in PA -
They cut a third of their staff last week.

bixbymn.bsky.social•17 days ago

Your constituents know this! We don’t need information we need action!
Being in the minority doesn’t mean that we are powerless. We need to hear from you what you are doing and we need to see you doing it.

What you do matters more than what you say right now .

lilaclvr1956.bsky.social•17 days ago

SO FUCKING DO SOMETHING

kerridv.bsky.social•17 days ago

So restore it

pemfd.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hey Lady, get your social media messaging together. Maybe there is a primary in your future.

zappapa.bsky.social•17 days ago

She is "safe" for six years. She knows it.

debinrst.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not sure any complicit politicians are going to be “safe” much longer.

devongreen.bsky.social•17 days ago

If it continues as is, there will be no voting.

threnodyskein.bsky.social•17 days ago

You see the problem. What’s your solution? You’re there to fight. I hope you are. If not, if you are doing less than all you can, maybe it’s time you decide to back away and let someone else in that office?
