There is no courage in any Republican in the House or Senate to stand in defiance to the coup in Washington.
And the NYT assisted this coup any time they could.

smijnbovendeert.bsky.social•7 days ago

Initially I read Rubio has been crossed...

xanderzzyzx.bsky.social•7 days ago

The same New York Times that's been enabling all of this?

If we need to rely on Susan Collins, we are in very deep $hit wearing heels and clutching pearls.

mfilak5.bsky.social•7 days ago

But she’s very concerned…

twittwit1018.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wow

lordgreystoke61.bsky.social•7 days ago

While I applaud his initiative, Susan Collins is weak, and easily cowed so imo calling her out to actively oppose trump is something that just won’t happen.

bluesnowlady69.bsky.social•7 days ago

Todd Young is a lost cause.

dizzygirl.bsky.social•7 days ago

Todd Young is my senator and his head is firmly up trump's ass.

Susan Collins? 🤣

Mcconnell might be senile enough.

drdavette.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you Mike! 🏆

mitchmcconell.bsky.social•7 days ago

I was going to, but I got tired

Every Republican legislator who is privately horrified by what they see happening should switch parties if they can. Or become independents and pledge to caucus with Democrats.

This is the worst time in our history and they know it.

spencemw.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sorry. Not enough. If he had become a registered Democrat after leaving the GOP, as I did, his statement would be stronger. He is simply riding the fence imho.

mollymaguire.bsky.social•7 days ago

That just pushes the Democratic party further to the right.

winstonsmith2024.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good effort, but wake me up if a single one of these Republicans actually does something.

jamieosy.bsky.social•7 days ago

Let me tell you something, I live in North Carolina, Thom Tillis is a fraud, he wants you to believe he is a “moderate.” He will talk the talk; will walk to the edge and lead you to believe he’s about to do the right thing…. but he never does; he folds. He is a coward, he is MAGA thru and thru.

And this one:

pfembellishing.bsky.social•7 days ago

I wonder how likely. Right now all we hear are crickets.

cheriemama2.bsky.social•7 days ago

McConnell though?

felix-la.bsky.social•7 days ago

I appreciate Mr. Fernandez’s bravery and honesty. Just thinking that it’s a long shot bet to believe that any GOP senator is going to step up to the plate and defend our democracy at this time, but heck history has shown that anything is possible.

purplepuppy.bsky.social•7 days ago

Not holding my breath.

demofighter.bsky.social•7 days ago

WOW! BRAVO!

At this point, I would be very wary of anyone trying to discourage us from taking every possible measure to stop all of this. Do everything you can, and if you don't think the current options are good enough come up with some new ones. I don't personally ascribe to doomerism because it's not helpful

erikssays.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yet such a thin list of people who may have character, integrity, and leadership to pull us back from the precipice.

juantwothreefour.bsky.social•7 days ago

As usual - Latinos doing the job white people don't want to do. Or are too afraid to do.

oregongal.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nice, but it’s a fantasy. They’ll watch this country go down in flames and won’t lift a finger.

winkleberry.bsky.social•7 days ago

Many of these GOP legislators are receiving daily threats — even death threats — against their families by right-wing extremists to keep them silent. Someone would need to secure funding for 24-hr security for the long term to make it possible for them to speak out and lead. Seriously.

rediculous1.bsky.social•7 days ago

Extraordinary

tom-from-mpls.bsky.social•7 days ago

I suppose they tried to sell it to WashPo too but they've gone fully fash.

backtothelander.bsky.social•7 days ago

The republican senate and house are flaccid remora. They won’t act.
