This.

Everyone needs to call up their Republican members of Congress today & ask them why they’re raising taxes on their own constituents. Make them own this because they do.

Contacted my Rep Mike Lawler about Billionaire & Millionaire tax cuts and tariffs yesterday afternoon. @caitfornewyork.bsky.social‬

lollybroch.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Also tell them, not only do they need to fear primaries from FLOTUS but they need to fear it from their constituents too, the Crawford election just showed sometimes money can’t talk

ellenff.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, especially be sure to ask Jim Banks so he can tell you how much you suck.

They are not answering the phones. Their staff is also ordered to lie .

We're at the point where there is one person, and one person only who's preventing Congress from shutting down Trump's tariffs idiocy and that's Mike Johnson. The Senate has already started by rebuking tariffs on Canada and there's a bipartison Senate effort to stop all Trump tariffs

nancyhicks.bsky.social•1 day ago

Particularly GOP House representatives in districts that do business with Canada. The Senate passed a block on Trump’s Canada tariffs & it’s reported that the Speaker will not take the bill up in the House.
He’s cut off voting for the week, his usual tactic when things are going wrong.

They're too entrenched in the crime, traitors all.

Has anybody reached out to #SusanCollins ? Has she reached the "simply peevish" stage of moral outrage?

littledoodle.bsky.social•23 hours ago

OK Republicans, your talk is meaningless unless you all show some gumption & start impeachment proceedings ASAP. It's well past the time to do it. How much more damage does he have to do? It's enough & he must be stopped. This is ridiculous already.

Trumpers are saying tariffs will replace income tax. What is the best comeback?

Thank you.

someguy2024.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is the plan. Raise taxes on the middle, working, and lower classes to pay for a 4.5 trillion dollar tax cut for Elon and his buddies. Their agenda is always the same: Trickle ON economics.

Call them NOW. 202.224.3121

semireflection.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah? They don’t answer.
Even before DJT; they don’t help constituents unless you’re a pal, donor or it’s something they can fundraise-off of . You have no idea.

flybyfreewill.bsky.social•1 day ago

Mosses Mike in particular by altering time-&-space in declaring “this session of congress” is NOT occurring over many days, it’s to be considered one “continuous period” of time!? Therefore the rules to challenge the declared “Emergancy” cannot be triggered! He’s Magic’Mosses’Mike now . .

mackenziegirl.bsky.social•1 day ago

We have. They aren’t listening.

catlady49ers.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why is tRump killing the economy? Easy answer. He wants to destroy the U.S. to make us look like the Russian economy so he can impose martial law and enable him to be dictator for life.

suevibor.bsky.social•1 day ago

So, I’m NOT the only one who sees this for EXACTLY what it is!!!

artweber.bsky.social•1 day ago

All the harm that Trump is willfully inflicting makes sense when you realize he is a Russian asset. A "useful idiot" at least. Remember that unguarded moment when Don Jr. admitted to VAST amounts of money coming in from Russia?

RESIST!!

I emailed Tom Barrett today and asked him why he continues to sell out his fellow vets by supporting these massive cuts to the federal workforce. I also asked him about trading the well-being of his constituents for tax breaks for the wealthy. The lengths they go to in order to avoid criticizing T.

Trump is using America to bribe the world to get more for the oligarchs. At the same time, not giving a damn about the hurt he causes to the majority of people in the world and in America. He is a thief with no conscience. #truth

barefoottrader.bsky.social•1 day ago

Dems need to refer to it as Trump’s tariff-tax, over and over again.

They seem to get a pass with all trump musk regime are doing. Yes, make the Republican controlled Congress own it.

fightlies.bsky.social•1 day ago

If there was ever a time for the Major Questions Doctrine, $6 Trillion in tariffs would be it.

Constitutionally, Congress NEVER intended to delegate the power to the President to tax us in a magnitude on par with the entire federal budget.

djangobde.bsky.social•1 day ago

Done. And, encouraged family and friends with Republican reps to call/write

npnhiker.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just did! The staff at my House's rep (Troy Downing, MT) actually answered and said he would check with him. That's the most interaction I've ever had. I think one easy question works the best. Thanks!

kootafoot.bsky.social•1 day ago

Having to call them shows that every one of them needs to be removed in the next election. Any Patriot would be moving now!

emilytheobald.bsky.social•1 day ago

I did. Lauren Boebert's office. They argued tooth and nail for the carnage we are seeing. Ignorant? Stupid? Corrupt? Maybe all three but it was futile. Necessary, but futile to make the listen or understand.

ravinedweller.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ve been contacting my MAGA senators (my rep is a Dem)almost everyday. So angry!

ajlzarychta.bsky.social•1 day ago

I called my rep. Kennedy and Cassidy are next on the list.

sharonfisher68.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm calling the drama queen today for sure.

kristiq.bsky.social•1 day ago

When I asked my rep's staffer if the bill to revoke tariffs would be voted on today in the House he said Johnson sent everyone home because a woman who had just delivered a baby wouldn't make it to vote. I said maybe shouldn't have pulled the proxy vote bill it seems. Duh.

equisphere.bsky.social•1 day ago

Johnson used a rule to prevent any votes on issues that try to restrain trump..

michel100001.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don't. These tariffs will decrease international trade, which means less transport, polution and CO2.

It works out as an environmental tax, which is a good thing.

emilytheobald.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe be can go back to being hunters and gatherers, too. Imbecile.

tonywhaley.bsky.social•1 day ago

Already called my rep, Marjorie Taylor Green in both Dalton, GA and DC. I doubt her staff even cares what I have to say.

jdf234.bsky.social•1 day ago

And remind them that they are in no way safe from a primary challenge from Trump or anyone else but they are absolutely in danger of losing their job the longer they follow Trump's agenda!

kylej918.bsky.social•1 day ago

I used @5calls.org this morning to make my calls and encouraged all of my friends to do the same!

I called Speaker Johnson's office. Told them to do what the Senate just did in stopping the tariffs with Canada- all of these tariffs. 202-225-7000. We are heading to a recession if not worse.

keyboardcarbonunit.bsky.social•1 day ago

Republicans r hiding from the cameras that is true.
Republicans in the House & Senate are not "checking" the crimes of The Trump Crime Family. Why?
Because they r supporters of the crimes!
Like Tesla board members & shareholders, they think, if Elon wins, they will benefit from the Musk criminality!

keyboardcarbonunit.bsky.social•1 day ago

So no lawsuit against Elon for the massive drop in shareholder value!
The possible sales to the U.S. military for the apartheid inspired cyber junk trunk are not happening.

lisadinpa.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just did and it felt good. Probably won't result in much of anything as I live in ruby-red central PA with a representative (Joyce, PA10) who doesn't hold town halls, one senator (Dave McCormick who is a known Republican) and the other is John Fetterman, 'nuff said.
