the absolute most charitable thing you can say about a lot of democratic lawmakers is that they want to hold onto a political order that no longer exists

Do you listen to yourself?!
GOP is attempting to consolidate more power & You won’t have any.
VOTE NO.
Names highlighted in yellow are *not* up for reelection this year so they *really* have no excuse for supporting the CR.
Phoenix: (602) 671-7901
Tucson: (520) 475-5177
DC: (202) 224-2235
When you’re dealing with that kind of fear among a gerontocracy, there’s nothing you can do except fire them and get some new leaders.
10 voted AGAINST ONE OF THEIR OWN (Al Green) so they’re NOT GOING TO BE WORKING FOR US!
I feel we are in a burning collapsing house and they can’t find a fire extinguisher. It’s sad.
Stand and fight Senator. I admire a "principled" stand as much as the next guy. But any principle that doesn't place the welfare and best interest of the people at its core is a hollow principle indeed.
Bernie is never going to be president at this point, but he can help guide, younger folks. We need somebody coming from that angle to rise up in the party. Honestly, we need a few dozen somebodys!
In 1789, people used horses. In 2025, people use cars.
1789 tradition, unspoken etiquette of "civility and decorum" in the House has to level up to match 2025 energy. They can still be respectful, but FIGHT for today's people instead of preserving 1789.
Up and honor your oath year means everything.
ATTACK CHARGE JUMP IN FRONT NOW IS THE TIME HELP US
Donate so she has a fair fight in this election. It's imperative that she wins.

Gloves Off mother . . . . . . .
Yeah. Didn't think so.
Guess we're gonna have to revolt with Bernie, AOC, and the Squad.
I have launched in multiple phone calls as well as emails to Hickenlooper as my Senator. No town hall no responses. No backbone.
He needs to step up and get angry and lead or at least follow those in the party that are fighting for it. Not proud he’s my senator.
We have a governor who does not support labor.
Two senators that are underwhelming.
My congress person, Diana DeGette is wallpaper.
We can’t bring crayons and safety scissors to a gun fight! This state should expect stellar politicians that represent the people!

I call them daily and tell them to fight and not acquiesce!
Now, we just need to enforce that.
If they won't move now, they never will.
How do they play by the New Rules if they're the only ones that'll see sanction?
Reminded him that when Mitch McConnell was majority leader of the Senate, he got ALL republicans to obstruct everything Obama tried to do, and they did just that.
ALL Democrats need to obstruct everything.
Ain't slow now.
And Dems know what's what. They just want to make sure their toast gets buttered.
Fire the boomers. Hire millennials.
THIS IS A GOP PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
Hickenlooper (and others) can honor the Constitution by demanding Congress act as a 'collaborative body' vs. rewarding #DonTheCon Trump by ignoring debates, negotiations, and agreements.
Just fu@king do something you a$$holes!

I wonder if this is some sort of kink of theirs: that they'll wag the finger and say "The System Works" after we pick ourselves out of the rubble of what will be the ruins of our economy and country.
We'll have elections and Dems will magically lose any the Republicans want to win.
So we can continue to pretend to have democracy.
Clear enough?
It's hard to have 'respect for the Constitution' when that respect is simply an excuse to do nothing but let it die.

MAGA has cut the landline in the house. Democrats keep threatening to call the cops, while telling maga they are in big trouble when they get here!
They go for the weak, sick, and the lame.
Our two-party politics right now.

Bravo.
Brevard County FL.
He took no follow up questions.
He's so damn close to getting it... 🫤

Democrats are 8 track tapes trying to fit in a CD player. It’s been time to start a new playbook for the upcoming primaries if this country is going to survive.
