Reposted from Joe Katz is sharing peace plans in the signal chat

Actually we do know one thing: @kaine.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com are forcing a vote on blocking tariffs against Canada this week.

Very informative piece. @amyklobuchar.com & @kaine.senate.gov are common sense strategists. Kudos.

dt-heels.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m sure @chuckschumer.com will object. By the way—resign @schumer.senate.gov

templinjay.bsky.social•7 days ago

About time @kaine.senate.gov got up on his hind legs and did his job!

Fighting back for the American people.

dozeedoe.bsky.social•7 days ago

Excellent work Senators Kaine and Klobuchar

oeishik.bsky.social•7 days ago

Get in the way of Donald's tariffs. It may be the only way to slow him down & keep avoiding a major economic collapse. https://youtu.be/gXxpadPOBSg

jamesmpope.bsky.social•7 days ago

Great! I will be very happy to eat a lot of crow on calling out @kaine.senate.gov for not doing anything. It might make up for his voting for puppy murderer and other despicable appointments.

overunderclover.bsky.social•7 days ago

Even though in typical fashion @politico.com 's headline is a falsehood

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hold up. They can force a vote and they haven’t moved to censure the disqualified “president”, corrupt SCOTUS, or the fascist criminal coup of an administration?

Wonders never cease.

rgfant.bsky.social•7 days ago

The particular law Trump used to impose the tariffs provides the right to force a vote on them…I don’t believe they could force a vote on most other issues (although I agree with the sentiment that dems should be fighting harder)

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•7 days ago

Convenient.

manfredwoman.bsky.social•7 days ago

FFS they're not fentanyl tariffs, I hate this headline.

kwalls.bsky.social•7 days ago

Same. An excuse.

tylerwalpole.bsky.social•7 days ago

Isn’t that the excuse he’s using for the emergency powers though?

manfredwoman.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, but like you said it's an excuse and politico shouldn't be giving him cover.

tylerwalpole.bsky.social•7 days ago

I getcha. I’m glad to know the Dems are using his bullshit excuse as a legal fulcrum to actually do something. May as well put the republicans on the record.

taniarichter.bsky.social•7 days ago

Klobuchar is actually doing something? I'm honestly shocked. Maybe the number of calls she's getting telling her they're excited to primary her ass lit a fire?

taniarichter.bsky.social•7 days ago

*something that isn't just rolling over and capitulating

ubermenchies.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's politico - they're creating a line of attack for Republicans on anyone who's against the tariffs.

sameastheold.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is long overdue. If the Republicans get together to pick what they want for lunch, the Democrats should be voting against it. That should have been a fucking given from the start.

cymchoke.bsky.social•7 days ago

Exactly right. Too bad we have a completely useless idiot like @schumer.senate.gov as Minority Leader, as he’s off sitting in a dark closet somewhere waiting for Trump’s poll numbers to fall.

ccmone.bsky.social•7 days ago

Canada is in a FULL ON ECONOMIC WAR with the US. Perhaps you are uninformed as the US press is disgracefully biased in its reporting. No country is fine with the US and it’s Shitfuckery of a president - he’s never getting what he wants and now the entire works hates him.

drsmutt.bsky.social•7 days ago

Chuck the cuck needs to take a lesson.

csapidus.bsky.social•7 days ago

Return the monies which were fraudulently gained.🇨🇦

pinkaditus.bsky.social•7 days ago

Looks like Chuck is taking a back seat again. It's OK.

usmarine.bsky.social•7 days ago

And where the Fvkk is Schumer???

Schittbag Schumer should retire to count his bribed millions.

Or maybe if we pray, he can retire the way Feinstein retired,
😭😂😭😂

confusedpenguin.bsky.social•7 days ago

But WTF is that headline? fentanyl tariffs?

crimsonbadger.bsky.social•7 days ago

“Fentanyl tariffs” is quite the framing

dolcefarniete.bsky.social•7 days ago

Here’s hoping Schumer does the right thing. 😉

kwalls.bsky.social•7 days ago

Fentanyl was an excuse. Not a reason. But you all know that.

agostas.bsky.social•6 days ago

No...let them go through. Let hell and pain reign on this country. Screw magat and non voters

Get 'em on record! It's been too easy so far for Reps to sit back and watch. Once they're on record, Dems need to go to their states and help the voters understand how their Rep senators are voting against their constituents best interest.

jsmithitguy.bsky.social•7 days ago

until schumer tells them to stand down...

teebonez.bsky.social•7 days ago

Fuck, At least some people get it. Canada is not just a friend, We are kind of tied up to one another, removing any part causes pain, it can not be avoided. Its not like removing a band-aid. Its more akin to ripping out stiches.

kwalls.bsky.social•7 days ago

Amputation.
Limiting. But we’ll manage.

andyheppelle.bsky.social•7 days ago

“People should see the texts in order to reach their own conclusions.” @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social & @shaneharris.bsky.social at @theatlantic.com read the #Signalgate group chat in which Trump administration officials shared detailed plans ahead of Yemen attack. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/signal-group-chat-attack-plans-hegseth-goldberg/682176/

canadiian.bsky.social•7 days ago

Even though they’re in the majority, democrats need to throw sand in as many gears as possible. Make everything slow and painful.

McConnell did a lot of damage with a minority. We need to take a few lessons from that old bastard

vpm68.bsky.social•7 days ago

If Tuberville can block military assignments for over a year there has to be some mechanisms to throw wrenches into normal operating systems that only those members know. The Democrats need to start being obstructionist.

marcashrsn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Breaking news, the Democrats have a pulse.

rebeccanies.bsky.social•7 days ago

Can't wait to see which republicans vote for their removal.
Either trump removes them or we remove them...

theonetruedoink.bsky.social•7 days ago

Be interesting to see which "Democrats" vote with the Republicans this time.

urnevertooold.bsky.social•7 days ago

YES and show who is in favor of this shit—IN PRINT in history!!

davidcchord.bsky.social•7 days ago

Those two weird senators at least are doing something right here

nurjam86.bsky.social•6 days ago

Grateful that these true patriots are fighting for our freedoms.

kurc.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope all of the tariffs go into affect. The sooner the US economy collapses, the sooner Putin's minions (GOP) will turn on him.

misro84.bsky.social•6 days ago

Kinda makes you wonder why they haven't been forcing more votes on other stuff 🤔. Still, welcome news.

leosstankytaint.bsky.social•7 days ago

If is just as important fhat Congress takes all tariff power back. They never should have given it to the sociopathic King Dementia in the first place. Cut him off. Think of a huge number of problems this would settle.

jeremiah77002.bsky.social•7 days ago

Per the article Dems already signed away their ability to force this when they let the CR pass. The GOP put some stupid language (i.e., the rest of the calendar counts as only one legislative day-iirc) in the CR meant to block this.

coconutlizard.bsky.social•7 days ago

Awesome!

lunamoondog.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope it doesn’t backfire.
There are items that are exempt under the fake emergency order, like books, that need to continue being that way.

petsurft.bsky.social•7 days ago

The funny thing is even if the tariffs get blocked or rescinded Europe & 🇨🇦 are done buying American made stuff. US will keep importing & he will achieve the opposite of what he wanted.

pretends2.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep.

askgma.bsky.social•7 days ago

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

marytorgersen.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you, @kaine.senate.gov , for forcing the Senate vote on the “Fentanyl” sanctions against Canada. I do not support a trade war against our neighbor and ally, Canada 🇨🇦! From a concerned constituent.

nancysknotsandlace.bsky.social•7 days ago

Dumpublicans will not put it through

trishei.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m old enough to remember when Congress held the power of the purse. Balance of powers was a thing as well. Good times.

pretends2.bsky.social•6 days ago

I didn't even know there were things Dems could do to fight against this insane -- idk what to call it, absolute villainy+stupidity that is wrecking everything.

jodigabert.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hope that Slotkin and Peters are right behind them.

mktsutherland.bsky.social•7 days ago

📌

marymaggie.bsky.social•7 days ago

There was never an emergency threatening national security anyway. It's bullshit. Just like the invasion that he's producing propaganda videos about, so he can illegally invoke martial law.

otho32.bsky.social•7 days ago

About bloody time too.

lisettek.bsky.social•7 days ago

finn7591.bsky.social•6 days ago

And Schumer was doing what?

cloudypatriot.bsky.social•7 days ago

I feel like we need to root for Trump's horrendous policies to truly devastate the economy, in red states in particular, in order to put this nightmare behind us. MAGA needs another big fat reminder that Trump is a failed businessman with a suck-ass, ruinous economy. We need to bottom out.

comen-tator.bsky.social•6 days ago

This should have been used about two months ago before so much damage has been inflicted on the USA!

It is a lot harder to undo damage than to prevent it from being inflicted!

The GOP is EVIL ...
The DEMs are INEFFECTIVE or LAZY!

It may take a French-style Revolution to save OUR Country!

salty-piranha.bsky.social•7 days ago

More of this please

j-waller55.bsky.social•7 days ago

Didn't know that power existed until now, but I'm glad that some senators or their staff were aware of it.

a-witty-twit.bsky.social•7 days ago

Bravo 👏 🇨🇦🇺🇸

tooze.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hope, when 51% of Senators vote to support Trump this does not lock the war measures act in and embolden Republicans…

tcaval.bsky.social•7 days ago

They can force a vote? Why haven't they been doing this?

ravenna321.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, make them own it. 100% complicit.

dstowe1.bsky.social•7 days ago

Tariffs on Canada is a trade war upon an ally nation
By act of tariff USA is at war with Canada & Mexico
Upon action of tariffs
Oil embargo becomes in effect upon USA
No oil exports out of Canada allowed
No exports of auto parts out of Mexico into USA
USA exports very little to nothing
Trade halted

Good. Now force a bite in all the other shit #TrumElla has done.

coco312.bsky.social•7 days ago

Cool, but they’re going to lose. Is there something they can do to actually make a difference?

dawnlaurier.bsky.social•7 days ago

Unless the thing requires more votes than the GOP already have... not really. Voters gave Congressional Dems zero power to do anything proactively.

So they can make the GOP vote against things they should support so they sweat more as approval %s decrease & protests grow. But that's about it.

kentellen.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s about time democrats have a plan and are ready to execute it. Hope it works. At the very least it will show Canada real Americans still support them.

johnmmas.bsky.social•7 days ago

Great. More of this please.
