That is literally what these senators should be doing at the very least. The should actually be strategically breaking the law in civil disobedience and winning the public to their cause if they really wanted to be useful. Instead, they're on vacation
Republicans have the slimmest majorities in history and not all of them are MAGA. The only way for them to get anything done is Dems to cross party lines
I dunno man, Ruben Gallego just posted about the price of guacamole and how it's gonna be expensive to get fucked up now at Mexican restaurants. Blue wave.
I mean, yes. Filibuster everything. Procedural motions on everything. Make naming a post office take 6 weeks of Herculean effort and waste political capital.
Ya know what, as soon as I hit post it hit me that he *really* should do that, see if he can't take McConnell's title of grim reaper for all the bills he's killed... I wish I still had a Dem for a senator I could call to encourage that behavior. Imma need some of y'all to do that on my behalf :(
Hi illumi,my wife and I recently joined a local chapter of indivisible, and I am realizing that none of us can do a lot, but a lot of us can do a little and have a big impact. It also helps to take away the helpless feeling of doom.
I do have a democrat rep at least, and I've called a couple times recently. Not as good as having a senator but making it harder for bills to get out of the house is all I can hope for
My state’s entire DC delegation is GOP, so I generally “adopt” a Dem from elsewhere (or the Dem leader of the chamber) for the session. (Also supporting their campaign … figure I can be an honorary constituent.)
I've been trying to wind up my congress rep like that. He's enough of a loon I feel like there's a real chance he does something wild given enough flattery & motivation
Thank you for recognizing how fucking stupid it was to suggest that incredibly reasonable and appropriate approach as though it was ridiculous. Sincerely.

Blaming Dems for the actions of a fascist they never supported is childish nonsense
Give me AOC and Ms. Crockett! 👍😁
He, Chuck Shumer, is voting yes on bills with anti-trans anti-abortion measures in them.
