Congress needs to get off their asses and assert their right as a co-equal branch of government to put a stop to this blatant, illegal, unconstitutional act.

The U.S. Constitution, specifically the Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9), generally prohibits U.S. government officials from accepting gifts, payments, or benefits from foreign governments without the consent of Congress.
End of discussion.

How many U.S. Senators don't employ phone staff in their DC offices during regular business hours? Easy to see why Ruben Gallego wants to avoid most of his base, but it's worse than unethical to still in May only have voicemail.

I rather he put his efforts toward re-funding NIH and removing RFKJr.

This is a good start for Resistance… but let’s make a stand on more pressing issues.. such as the Nazi Regime that’s running loose on the streets of America.. 🙏🏿

No one can stop Trump’s deconstructing and destruction of the federal government and the American culture.
And it looks like a third world war is developing around the world. And Trump as president is the perfect storm. And 77 million Trump Base supporters Voted for This. Democrats playby old rules.

Oh now you have an issue with the dickt8er? You’re way too late @schumer.senate.gov and since you were the early enabler with your Gang of 10 traitors you have ZERO credibility left. You need to go - yesterday!

Good. If this is a gift to Americans we all want a ride in it.

Schumi has finally catched up 🙄

Trump cravenly disparaged the U.S. and its leadership on TV, stating, “The days of economic misery under the last administration are rapidly giving way…” and praise the Saudi Crown Prince placing him above America itself stating the U.S. is “the hottest country… with the exception of your country.”

Finally some strong consequences for Trump's illegal activities!

I thought they were already holding up nominations?

So Trump says $400M gift (bribe) from Qatar is free. It's not. For it to function as AF1, it would need 100s of millions to outfit properly. Guess who's paying for that? And then it just goes to him at the end of his term? What kind of BS is this. Congress better do it's job or just disband.

nophlyzone92.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Why wasnt this being done before, considering all of the other laws and norms thay have been violated since he took office!?!? Shumer and the dems are as weak and pathetic as ever

thevampiremansion.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Because they don’t have the power to do everything. Dems still follows rules.

blueforamerica.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Yeah, they shouldn't be. Michelle Obama once said "they go low, we go high". BS. The time to get in the mud was long ago.

democratsarelosers.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Maybe he can write a strong letter again. Lol

democratsarelosers.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Just shows why Democrats keep losing, Chuck is a traitor to America & once 2026 comes along, Republicans will gain more seats.

cassbo.bsky.social•5 hours ago

This should have fucking been done when he and his Pee Wee German sidekick starting kidnapping people! Always late to the party, Chuck. #ResignChuck

sharronrocks.bsky.social•5 hours ago

So what? That very stern letter didn’t work out?

cathy2362.bsky.social•5 hours ago

It would have been nice to see Sen Schumer on the floor of the Senate. We don’t give a shit about Diddy, we don’t give a shit about Kim. This is not an entertainment channel. That's up to ET. Stop the BULLSHIT reporting get back to politics.

marcairhart.bsky.social•5 hours ago

More of this please.

That idiot could have done that from the very beginning!!!

Comrad Chuck,
5 mos too late...cognitive? Or waiting for donor funds to committ. Step down- get out of the way. More...#davidhogs

blueforamerica.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Too late. The Dems are weak, ineffective. The people need to fight back. We can't count on politicians to do anything.

simplybhomas.bsky.social•5 hours ago

The Democratic Party needs new leadership. Plain and simple. This ineptitude is beyond infuriating.

goldencentury.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Finally! What took so damn long? Nothing, absolutely nothing should be allowed to move in the Senate until this self-proclaimed King is brought to heel and forced to obey the Constitution or resign!

jefftw.bsky.social•4 hours ago

You mean Chuck is doing something other than attempting a disapproving scowl over the rim of his glasses he’s carefully pulled down as to appear older and weaker? Shocked, I say. Shocked. 😳

White culture has a problem in America. People better start paying attention to white babies in your white families that are neglected, isolated, abused, & tormented.

Too many white babies are dying at the hand of their parents. Deserves national attention!

bselena.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Love to hear Blondi Bondi testify on this ….

t-fish.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Can’t wait for the response.
Will it be a FUCK NO or will Republicans show a bit more tact? 😂
