Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law. - ThreadSky

Reposted from Brandon Friedman

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

We need whatever is left of the FBI to seize the US Treasury from Musk and arrest everyone they find in the building associated with him. Even if Trump pardons them the next day, the FBI needs to go down fighting for the treasury today, exactly the opposite of how they fought for The Capital on J6.

Hey 👋 handsome man 😍

johnrage.bsky.social•20 days ago

Democrats are fucked. They are acting as if this will all be solved in the next election with a blue wave. There aren’t going to be anymore elections and they’re are all going to be fired or rounded up and arrested. The government they know is ending.

ems999.bsky.social•20 days ago

What if the congress and senate R being silenced with blackmail? All the boxes 📦 at Marla go, besties with Putin and Epstein. This is how he operates. Who is he blackmailing and for WHAT ‼️

spotonthesun.bsky.social•20 days ago

Probably.

hilariouspun.bsky.social•20 days ago

That's what they'd do if they fought for us. They don't even fight for themselves. Cowards.

How to market effectively in 2025. Throw all rules out the window unless you want to lose some more.
Why have u silenced your most valuable asset, AOC?

We don’t have to throw tbe rules out the window. Just b/c Trump has so called immunity, DOGE staff don’t! Arrest them!!!!!

isabellasmom.bsky.social•20 days ago

If we go to a sword fight with a plastic teaspoon, we haven't a chance in hell.
Writing "strong letters" to me is a broken plastic teaspoon.
Starting an investigation that will take years is ridiculous.

duncanmonserud.bsky.social•20 days ago

If Ted Cruz can spend half his life flying from DC to the Rio Grande Valley for photo ops with border agents, Liz Warren and Ron Wyden should be able to Uber on over to the Treasury building and drum up a crowd.

Oh, this is a "scandal", is it? Hmm. Interesting. I'm sure when their done. Everything will be just as it was, and we'll just keep eating expensive pizza.

gruffy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Maybe the Democrats don't need to do any thing. Just being a democrat means they didn't vote Republican. Maybe an american (small a) needs to take responsibility for the mess they have.

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

Lol ok sure. That'll work out great for everyone

gruffy.bsky.social•20 days ago

You voted for this

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

What on earth are you talking about?

gruffy.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'll keep it simple.
There are no Devils or Angels in politics but that sells in your country. 'Make Biden is evil, say Trump is divine'
You believe in angels?... go for it... but its not a way to run a country. It is not the democrats fault that you believe

peppermintjack.bsky.social•20 days ago

hell, democrats couldn't even do a thorough impeachment trial because chris coons wouldn't give up his valentine's day date

it's a party that's fundamentally unserious about governing

sepijohnson.bsky.social•20 days ago

I just don’t understand why don’t take action instead of constantly repeating that we are being rubbed by Trump and his cronies, which we already know! What are the elected officials waiting for? 😡😡😡

rjharris816.bsky.social•20 days ago

That would require effort

chuuzumou.bsky.social•20 days ago

Warren and wyden are too old to have the energy to do this. Aoc or Crockett are the ones with the fight in them

olafrotkohl.bsky.social•20 days ago

They need to go to the Treasury building with axe handles, baseball bats, and furious anger.

sunniedaze5.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes. And someone needs to question the legality of Musk obtaining access to government agencies.

hillshandmades.bsky.social•20 days ago

sanfordme.bsky.social•20 days ago

Isn’t that assuming the media would show up or broadcast them?

onatrolley.bsky.social•20 days ago

They’ll all in their 70s or whatever and all filthy rich/disconnected from real consequences. It’s a shock that they can even do their weekly podium pressers. Until AOC Crockett & pals do a hostile takeover, the Dems will remain dormant.

mitchsolomon.bsky.social•20 days ago

There’s not much to learn. They’re smart people. They don’t know how to be strong. Talking up policies is all these guys can do. They didn’t get into politics to fight. They just didn’t

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

Time to learn or step aside

mitchsolomon.bsky.social•20 days ago

We will hear nothing but blather on tomorrow’s morning shows. Not even convinced leaders on the committee will show up. There’s nothing but their constituents yelling at them and mine have totally full voicemails. The Republicans are right about these well meaning cub scouts

imagardener.bsky.social•20 days ago

Sadly, Dems are too stuck in maintaining 'the norms, even while others behave badly'.
We're all screaming, 'FIRE!', and they're quietly reprimanding, 'Decorum'.

cehirschi.bsky.social•20 days ago

They need to go there with members of whatever law enforcement agency has authority over those buildings and arrest every member of DOGE there.

keriwh.bsky.social•20 days ago

This is so frustrating to see!

lorren13.bsky.social•20 days ago

The Republicans have a couple of huge advantages -

Legace media has always been on their side

They have the social media giants doing their bidding

kernunno.bsky.social•20 days ago

What? Most media is liberal. The problem is liberalism is a right wing ideology, so the media acting in their political interest means they are acting against yours.

You need to move left if you want the people you support to support you. You are a worker.

celina30.bsky.social•20 days ago

Our democrats are sitting ducks. Bumps on a log. Useless. I lost faith in them.

invalidname.me•20 days ago

I’m sure the DNC is working on a new fundraising email and text message campaign as we speak.

democrats-watch.bsky.social•20 days ago

But @schumer.senate.gov is too busy destroying the party as a “bipartisan” effort.

missyandtillycorgi.bsky.social•20 days ago

It's really not that hard. To get the playbook they just have to look at 2010-2016. Obstruct, constantly go on the media, obstruct, literally gridlock into getting nothing done and sue and keep suing.

lauowolf.bsky.social•20 days ago

What media

missyandtillycorgi.bsky.social•20 days ago

Everything and anything. I know MSM is useless but still get on there when you can even if you have to tell the reporter they're full of shit (and they should when they lie), independent journalism still exist in different forms. Medias Touch and Democracy Docket for starters.

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

As ranking members of the committees, @warren.senate.gov @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social and @wyden.senate.gov @wydenpress.bsky.social need to lead the charge. If they don't, someone else needs to step up. FIGHT DAMMIT

camooregirl.bsky.social•20 days ago

ems999.bsky.social•20 days ago

sunniedaze5.bsky.social•20 days ago

It's beginning to look like it's going to be up to us. Winning an election is one thing (which I'm beginning to think is questionable), taking a wrecking ball to the country, and turning it into a fascist dictatorship is quite another. We just can't stand by and watch it happen.

disgustedinfl.bsky.social•20 days ago

Why do we have to beg them for days to step up their fight.
Why wasn’t the Dem Fight Plan created on election eve, built over months, enacted on day 1.

Instead, it feels Dems are flat footed & unprepared. Not leadership material meant for this moment. Step aside.

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

If @aoc.bsky.social had gotten chair of oversight like she should have, I feel 100% confident she'd be out there doing the work. If the rest of the party is still sleepwalking tomorrow I hope she'll take the mantle and do it anyway

When in doubt, send in AOC.

lareyne.bsky.social•20 days ago

Her own party are too busy trying to sabotage her, unfortunately.

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

Obviously saving the country from an unelected, ketamine-addled psychopathic Nazi should be the top goal, but if they need to sweeten the pot, whoever steps up to lead right now is immediately the 2028 frontrunner if we can preserve enough of our democracy between now and then.

nazishmunch.bsky.social•20 days ago

It’s not even been a month and you think this will get to 2028 with some form of democracy intact? Love the optimism! 😬

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh I'm deeply pessimistic but we've gotta act like that's what we're trying to make happen or it definitely won't

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh and by the way, no mealie-mouth hedging. Get out there and say bluntly that Elon Musk has no legal authority to access payments information. Say they're breaking the law. Don't hedge. Don't waver. Talk about the consequences. FULL FUCKING THROTTLE

keriwh.bsky.social•20 days ago

Unbelievable we’re not hearing it already 🤬 LOUDLY, come on, it should have started within minutes!

chickpea7.bsky.social•20 days ago

Republicans are able to do this because they have their own media infrastructure *and* much buy-in from the MSM. Democrats have next to no infrastructure and faces an MSM politely to openly skeptical of us. They'll have EW looking like a silly old scold in no time.

chickpea7.bsky.social•20 days ago

'Democrats...face,' give me an edit button oh god.

1chithekiller.bsky.social•20 days ago

I don't think you understand how useless the Democrats truly are. They would need to not only take a stand on literally any issue in a practical way, but they'd have to recognize and confront the fascism happening right now, and they absolutely WILL NOT do that.

klearnote.com•20 days ago

The Democrats seem content to watch as the country burns under Trump’s increasingly diminishing mental state.

morganarae.bsky.social•20 days ago

What specifically do you expect them to do without the votes or power?
Should they storm the capitol?

klearnote.com•20 days ago

They have voices, yet I hear only silence.

klearnote.com•20 days ago

The also don’t need to storm the capitol. They work there.

vermontjoan.bsky.social•20 days ago

And bring the capitol police with them! There should be arrests handed out.

Start issuing cease and desist orders on the EOs that appear to be unconstitutional-birthright, impoundment…not on T because he is immune, but on the orders themselves

wat3rm370n.bsky.social•20 days ago

If you're not writing them or calling their offices verifying that you're a constituent in their district - they can dismiss you as "outside agitators" or “just some people on the internet” People with platforms should be opening with "call your reps" or "look up the contact pages of your senators"

minisaltine.bsky.social•20 days ago

Absolutely. Give it the border treatment.

michelecollins5411.bsky.social•20 days ago

a non-stop circus is only possible if you have at least one chamber of congress. We don't.

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

You can create a circus without committees. It's harder but it's not impossible

michelecollins5411.bsky.social•20 days ago

you're right. MTG does it all the time. It's just a question of whether we want to emulate her. If you come up with a good strategy, please let me know. I'm very interested in hearing proposals.

reddog2188.gobirds.online•20 days ago

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

Sure

bigseb31213.bsky.social•20 days ago

Democrats do not have party media like the right does. The right was able to do that stuff because they have media that takes marching orders and the mainstream media follows cues. Leftist media hates the democrats as much as they hate the GOP

runswithspoons.bsky.social•20 days ago

They need to make noise to force the news media to cover it

foreverambre.bsky.social•20 days ago

After Paul Pelosi got his skull crushed w/a hammer, J6ers released, no one’s sure who in the military’s now compromised, same w/police— if someone tries to harm a Dem member— then what? Who’s going to stop them? I’m beginning to be more worried about actual violence against Congressional members.

laurenbworley.bsky.social•20 days ago

Thank you. Where is our backbone when it matters most?

emfish81.bsky.social•20 days ago

This! Am I the only one that’s up at 2am worrying? Are these dem senators sleeping at night?

celina30.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes Xanax. They don’t appeared too bothers or frazzled. It appears it’s an us problem.

emfish81.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yup.

janewassweet.bsky.social•20 days ago

thebrillianthen.bsky.social•20 days ago

They could even find a single Democratic Senator to object to passing GOP legislation via unanimous voice vote, to slow it down. It only takes one. So far, there have been none.

So simple, so easy, why the fck isn’t it happening?

sporkupine.bsky.social•20 days ago

The fact that this hasn’t happened leads me to conclude that our Dem leaders are scared and just don’t know what to do. We are on our own.

Ask AOC and the Squad. Fetterman’s media lead during his Senate run. There’re others out there but they’re usually younger than the Senators kids.

evansutton.bsky.social•20 days ago

Just about everyone who helped Fetterman win or worked in his office has followed him down a dark path

I guess you might try to get everyone to leave their jobs, and cut funding to critical programs.

But who would sit back and try to reason with these people?
