literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

It is hypocritical beyond belief.
I believe they are doing so to protect any post Senate lobbying gig where they need GOP access. It means millions of $ to them.
You have my condolences!
We, people paying attention and with a bit if knowledge, need to lead and guide. Not chase the “most popular” opinions.
Look at their net worth.
Every one of them 1-2 terms in.
We need term limits, and 🚫 on Individual stock purchases and only voter approved pay increases for Congress.
It's really VERY simple. Even a child could say which of these is right or wrong.
That didn’t work.
If it works, all you've done is made those defections worthless, by ensuring that the nominees will pass, even if some Republicans vote no!
McConnell
Collins
Murkowski
But veteran Joni Ernst cannot be having a good night tonight.
- Every establishment Democrat right now.
Can’t take the active partners for authoritarianism credit away from Senate Democrats.
Motivation doesn’t matter. Selling out democracy and backstabbing the American people does.
No one votes across party lines on cabinet appointments if you're not in the majority. 'They have the votes - the responsibility is theirs.'
For the same reason no one votes across party lines for House Speaker.
You really don't have 'a party' otherwise.
They care about punishment from some of their corporate donors, who do stand to gain from some of these nominees, and might remember come midterm season.
They only think about their money, even during a fascist takeover.
I used to be a huge Dem shill but IDK if they're salvageable.
Very few have “sabotage from within” smarts or energy. What we’re seeing is straight up collusion with Republicans. While backstabbing democracy and the US Constitution which they took oaths to protect.
I hope you know, already ... it's not just Americans who value that you're still speaking up for sanity.
#democracy
so trash
Warner: Rubio, Bessent, Driscoll
Kaine: Rubio, Bessent, Driscoll..Noem!
It's finally the media's chance to hound Republican Senators over something -- every one of them cast the deciding vote!!
Utterly boggles the mind

Though they’re probably wasn’t a lot Dems could’ve done procedurally to stop Trump & the GOP, the fact that they didn’t even try to copy Mitch‘s playbook speaks volumes.
And literally zero Dems voted for Hegesth.
Only Bluesky wants this to be a thing.
Democrats don’t really understand that unified lies SEEM more truthful than differing opinions from the Democrats.
The opposite is true in this case.
In the result, nothing to gain, though. Boneheaded? More like futile -- to look foolish in the end.
Until today 🤣
That's all.

Particularly not when the Republicans are right fucking there.
An hour from now I'll be cussing Schumer out again.
I'm not always consistent.
How badly can you fuck things up when literally all you have to do is nothing.
Nope. Couldn't do it.
Well you voted for him Is not license for that person’s subsequent incompetence, malfeasance, fuckery.
I'm so afraid they are just hedging their bets to join with the regime, because Democrats have made it abundantly clear, they do not appreciate the Collaborators

They were bragging about it!
Why can I be better at this on my lunch break than Amy Klobuchar?
Resign or be Fired
Now
They are complicit in the ending of American democracy
They are beholden to the same pay masters
That our government is truly a one party system
Pay to play
Every Dem who voted to confirm the illegal imbeciles on the Signal chat is complicit as an accessory.
Trying to put it nicely, bc I disagree with some of their moves so strongly. Especially our Jr.
@bennet.senate.gov
@hickenlooper.senate.gov
Needless to say, I will never forgive them.
All to benefit the first felon and the war criminal.
The first mafiosi caves with blowback. Call your congressmen, protest, volunteer, donate.
How’s that,…Howard “I steal my mother in law’s SS checks”Lutnick?😡
