Now we need the rest of the senators to get on board.

mikestilwell.bsky.social•6 days ago

House and senate are all performing, such BS. You can see the strings being pulled by the big hands in the sky. Both sides need to be purged. Bring back we the people.

catgordon.bsky.social•6 days ago

McConnell created this nightmare and NOW he decides to make a “statement “?

bbavel.bsky.social•6 days ago

Interesting to see who trump is afraid of.

Baby Trump tantrum in 3…2…1

jeanpauldelier.bsky.social•6 days ago

Explain WHY they’re doing tariffs? Obviously Elon & Peter Thiel want this as part of their plans for the future…. so what are they thinking? Why is this useful to them and the future they’ve planned for themselves/America/World?

criscringlecrispy.bsky.social•6 days ago

They’re taking the tariffs from poor people as a tax not approved by Congress, to fund no taxes on the rich and fund Govt contracts to the rich. They literally are looking at ALL the money Americans without tax breaks have, and said “we want THAT too.” Greed is disgusting.

davidjohnurban.bsky.social•6 days ago

Listen to what these four Senators had to say about tariffs on the floor of the Senate. They know how foolish Trump's attempt to destroy our country is.

One the Susan Collins Concern-o-meter, tonight she is: VERY CONCERNED

simonwdc.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is stupid. She VOTED against Trump and the Senate leader.

corbetto.bsky.social•7 days ago

That’s how we know she’s VERY concerned, Simon.

McConnell built the ship, steered it into an iceberg and is now taking a bucket to try to stop the Titanic from sinking.

staceyham.bsky.social•6 days ago

It took a couple strokes to see the light, I hope he’s seeing why he should’ve impeached him in the first place

kimoralynn.bsky.social•7 days ago

That part.

sallytofunaka.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's a nice symbolic gesture but the House will never vote on it.

ziggeroonski.bsky.social•6 days ago

Will any of the other pussies do something or just continue hiding?

jerryspiegler.bsky.social•6 days ago

Never enough R's to stop that fucker.

liesl7.bsky.social•6 days ago

It is important and I am glad to see cracks in the repugnantcants, but Walz probably won't introduce it to the house.

gfybabe.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nice but House ruined it.

ncpots.bsky.social•6 days ago

Unity, like we saw in the House on the CR. And no abandonment by Fetterman.

Thank you @kenmartin.bsky.social @corybooker.com @booker.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
@kaine.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com
for holding Dems together. Tis good!

joabomb.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hopefully all the Trump voters will get it smack in their face!

segaru.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh! Has Collins Learned Her Lesson?

it-matches.bsky.social•7 days ago

Are any of these folks seeking reelection in 2026?

manuele.bsky.social•6 days ago

Collins, McConnell, Murkowski, Paul? don’t fall for this stunt of Collins, McConnell, Murkowski, Paul. this is self preservation move.

waytoolate.bsky.social•6 days ago

Cannot trust Collins. I always think, “oh, she looks sensible,” and then she inevitably votes the dumb way.

goldsbun.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly. They know it will die in the House anyway, so no sweat off their backs.

yn2usn.bsky.social•7 days ago

The four have constituent pressure and also know it would not change a damn thing

jenrabalais.bsky.social•6 days ago

It took them all fucking long enough. Guess they've got nothing to lose now eh?

jmac901.bsky.social•7 days ago

Performative because of the 🥃. House won’t do anything with it.

joellevinyc.bsky.social•7 days ago

They voted for it. It didn’t pass, correct?

simonwdc.bsky.social•7 days ago

It passed.

stemthebleeding.bsky.social•7 days ago

And probably the real reason why Johnson adjourned the house, so the Rs can't be pressured to vote for it.

aquel-gringo.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is correct! Johnson has done everything in his power to make the House incapable of serving as a check on Trump

patcollins.bsky.social•7 days ago

When you’ve lost Rand Paul…

Impeach comrade vonshitsinpants

rewinn.bsky.social•6 days ago

That tariff schedule is hilariously stupid. The numbers in the left column are b.s, and the impact will be inflation (unless the Trump recession kicks in early)

seasailor.bsky.social•7 days ago

Only 4😣

evcornw.bsky.social•6 days ago

Too little too late McConnell.
