Come on: there has to be more than 7 GOP senators who see how appalling the BIG BAD BILL is…

pahoward.bsky.social•14 days ago

I hope they are brave and do the right thing!

hughbtruthful.bsky.social•13 days ago

#FuckRepublicans They've done enough damage to this Country already. Oust them all in 26.

Count on another dramatic performance by Susan Collins. She is an attention seeker. Pay her no mind because she will obey Trump.

margrill1.bsky.social•14 days ago

Just vote these MFer out problem solved!

margrill1.bsky.social•14 days ago

They will cave as they always do! Spineless!

smartypants0218.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why would anyone "watch" Susan Collins? Every chance she's had to do the right thing, she does the wrong thing. MSNBC, you know better. Do better.

flyingforward.bsky.social•14 days ago

With the exception of Murkowski, they will all vote for the bill. If the bill had legislation that would sell tickets for people to watch immigrants hung in town squares, they would still vote for it. They are poor excuses for human beings and crossed the rubicon years ago.

b-burky.bsky.social•13 days ago

In the end those 7 always vote with the rest. They have no morals either.

veronicanyce.bsky.social•13 days ago

The Republican Senate is going to pass the bill. Americans were warned that Medicaid was on the chopping block and they still voted for this.

msundlof.bsky.social•13 days ago

I do hope you are wrong!

Meanwhile . . .

"Republicans slipped a provision into their big spending bill that would limit the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt, potentially allowing Trump and his administration to violate court orders without consequence."

Three of the weakest weathervanes in the Senate.
Yay.

suburbanhell.bsky.social•14 days ago

"7 Key senators to watch who will still fail this country anyway". Don't give people hope @msnbc.com, tell them what's real. Watch them or not, they're aren't going to change their stripes.

timlow3.bsky.social•13 days ago

Expecting, even hoping GOP senators to do the right thing. Cute.

scortijones428.bsky.social•14 days ago

Always a publicity game. “Will she or won’t she?” Congress is so f’ing broken.

frank1993.bsky.social•13 days ago

JD for president! no need for election. impeach trump would do it!

speediegatl.bsky.social•13 days ago

They will cave quickly

johncartozian.bsky.social•13 days ago

Musk is right! It will kill the economy. Kill the bill!

redmonarch3.bsky.social•14 days ago

Six!

anachrin.bsky.social•13 days ago

7 Senators to watch furrowed brows, and massive amounts of bullshit spew from their useless mouths. FTFY

roller75.bsky.social•14 days ago

All Americans should be watching who votes for this bill, and vote them out next election or expel them if possible!

bucksforlife.bsky.social•14 days ago

Those 3 talk a big game, but when punch comes to shove, they cave and follow Grandpa. Otherwise they know it’s career ending.

chickpea7.bsky.social•13 days ago

With furrowed brows, teary eyes, and long speeches, they will fight each other to be among the 3 free No-s, but enough cowards will cave. (Those 3 No-s will be as bad as the rest. Looking at you, Murkowski. Don't let any of them off the hook.) Stop voting Republican.

redheaddeadhead.bsky.social•14 days ago

As a resident of PA, I don't exactly trust John Fetterman on this vote. I sincerely hope I am wrong.

twitterkwitter.bsky.social•13 days ago

Always dangerous to rely on Susan Collins, who has been dashing our hopes for decades. She couldn't even save women from Kavanaugh, when the entire sane world believed Christine Ford and knew Women's Choice was at stake😝. Murkowski is the next Liz Cheney,though!

whiterhino42.bsky.social•13 days ago

Murkowski is literally the only Republican Senator I have any respect for.

juliebennett.bsky.social•14 days ago

I will not, cannot trust fu#&'ig Susan Collins to EVER do the right thing. I can trust her to be sorry later.

argo25.bsky.social•13 days ago

If past performance is any indicator of future results, there is zero chance of murkowski or collins actually having the courage to carry through with a no vote. Why do you pretend otherwise?

jdjetdoc.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yawn. They will all fall in line as they always do. Just stop with the political theater.

conscientiousice.bsky.social•13 days ago

Never trust a Republican

pittysing.bsky.social•14 days ago

Collins will wring her hands and vote yes.

redsoledgooner.bsky.social•13 days ago

Space Karen could just give them 10 mill to vote no. Wouldn’t surprise me.

scotsandlit.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why would Republicans pass this horrible bill?

marsgemini.bsky.social•13 days ago

Because Republicans are horrible people-the cruelty is the point

bootsblue.bsky.social•13 days ago

Also to give themselves big tax breaks. And also because their big $$ donors command them to 🤷🏻

queengidget.bsky.social•13 days ago

Do YOU think they will all grow a backbone by then? Because I don't.

democracyrocks.bsky.social•13 days ago

These people are actually going to cut medicaid. Wow, people are going to suffer and rural hospitals will close.

kimberleelynn.bsky.social•13 days ago

C'mon now. Take Collins off your watch list. She'll vote for the bill no matter what. And you know that and I know that and all of America knows that.

sjimmyp.bsky.social•13 days ago

qabinofblue.bsky.social•13 days ago

If these representatives can’t show they work on behalf of their constituents, they need to be axed with the rest as their card comes up. This is their last chance to be true to the people who gave them this privilege/ responsibility. Who of them has integrity?

lovesmaine.bsky.social•13 days ago

Cock(R)oaches always fall in line.

wendimyb.bsky.social•14 days ago

Susan Collins will do what she is told. She is worthless.

4seasonstl.bsky.social•13 days ago

It’s MAGA. They will eventually fall in line. They will allow a couple senators to vote “no” to make it look like they don’t all just capitulate but they will absolutely get enough capitulations to get this passed.
