Strongly worded letter.

Schumer: "Today Leader Jeffries and I are joining together to push legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country ... we call our legislation, 'stop the steal'"

When the vote for ratifying it fails Schumer's going to be like "I don't get it? Don't these people believe in a good law?"

Direct action means cutting off the goddamned power to the building. Or locking the buildings BEFORE they gain access. Or dropping Zyklon-B tablets in the air ventilation system. Outside of the box type of direct action!

With a press conference cherry on top.

Completely ineffective.

once those conflicts of interest are revealed musk is going to be so ashamed 😱

Reminds me of that one clip of The Good Place.

Be warned: if you push me, I will silently judge you. I’m sorry, but I can’t be held accountable when I get to this point.

Not looking at the camera is the first, easiest tell of weakness. You cannot effectively communicate-to say nothing of actually provide action-if you are literally bending in obeisance

Musk's goons are already there. Like, right now. Literally rewriting software in the system. And these dudes are going to write a legislation.

1ofmanythoughts.bsky.social•19 days ago

That can't get passed

squirrelly-danette.bsky.social•19 days ago

A legislation that has no hope of passing, at that. Smh.

The Democrats are in the minority.

Mtg with Schumer? If so would you tell him to grow a pair- DO not continue confirming the wackos- no time to “work across the aisle “ - stop writing letters- stay late, come in early- thx

nitram22.bsky.social•19 days ago

That is certain to get a result.

kelong.bsky.social•19 days ago

10/10, no notes

3fecta.bsky.social•19 days ago

I am sure that Mike Johnson will move quickly to permit it out of committee too...

henchman1.bsky.social•19 days ago

That will never get passed.

This is the equivalent of writing a strongly worded letter, printing it out and putting it directly in the shredder.

karmageddon.bsky.social•19 days ago

What would you suggest they do?

numb.comfortab.ly•19 days ago

It's literally illegal. Dems should raise an army of cops and just kick the whole lot outta there.

karmageddon.bsky.social•19 days ago

I know it's illegal. And Dems raising an army of cops sounds wholly not doable. We're beyond the rule of law now.

casualmisanthrope.bsky.social•19 days ago

So, as any legislation will be voted on strictly party lines, I think this is just a way to get the opposition to tell on themselves.

How is it helpful? It's not.

It's just removing the possibility of "WE DIDN'T KNOW!!!" from the narrative going forward.

sbcakelly.bsky.social•19 days ago

Not true. This is a real and necessary act, though they won't have the votes for it.

lesmj.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah, legislation. Like that'll take care of it. How about some law enforcement in the buildings...oh, wait. Law enforcement is maga now. 🤬

7leaguebootdisk.bsky.social•19 days ago

Legislation by people who have a majority in neither House.

peril2k.bsky.social•19 days ago

These dummies need to be (metaphorically) blowing up bridges and derailing trains, not sitting around clutching their pearls.

planetmartay.bsky.social•19 days ago

I'm so sick of do little dems. What good will a bill, that won't pass the house, do? Give MAGA more fuel?

Legal action needed to be taken, last Friday.

saltnae.bsky.social•19 days ago

Passing a law they can’t pass for something that is already illegal. Simpsons level stuff.

justplaintricky.bsky.social•19 days ago

I think his pontification skeets about the pizza and guac on my party table during super bowl being more expensive was stronger than this.

silkscreenfiend.bsky.social•19 days ago

Shaking heads. Very disappointed. Concerned, even.

megt.bsky.social•19 days ago

Do they have the ability to file a lawsuit? Though even lawsuits don't seem to matter as they ignored judges' orders... you know, because if the president does it it's not illegal...

tamposla.bsky.social•19 days ago

What’s happening in the US isn’t surprising: Project25 spelt it all out clearly.

What is surprising is how Americans have simply acquiesced to it; they have given up on democracy & the rule of law.

corinium.bsky.social•19 days ago

They need to use the third arm of government and go to court. Sure its a toss-up whether a SCOTUS will support them or not but legislation isn't going to pass.
