I'm 86 years old. In all these years I've never felt terror like this. What a way to spend your few remaining days on Earth. I was born into the fight against fascists in 1938. Went through grade school during the war.We had to black out our windows at night. Wasn't as scary as this is.
Like you I never expected to see this in my lifetime. My mother's brothers all fought the Nazi's in WW2 and I am sure they are all three spinning in their graves that America has turned fascist now.
So sorry to hear your distress, sir… we appreciate everything your generation did for our country & for the planet… hoping we can all unite & find our way… it will require more of us paying attention & participating … … “ the chain of human #kindness is stronger than our weakest links “
I have a great life with much happiness. I feel fortunate. Feeling terrorized by my own government is just going to be difficult to adjust to in my remaining time. The sadness I feel for my Grandsons is hard and depressing.
My kids all boys: an 18 yo college Freshman, & triplets 16, sophomores. We’re older parents—my folks were WW II and shaped by ideals of democracy and against vile facism. WOW. I can’t believe that they were born around Obama era presidency and now this. So depressing
I understand re your grandsons. My son, 30 this yr, long ago decided not to have children. My quieted pangs of knowing how much I could love a gchild, are coupled with knowing it’s a good decision. I still think it a solemn oath to leave the place better for the next generation.
Red alert..🔥🔥🔥
Trump is trying to get rid of our elections before 2026
This must be a stopped immediately, he’s done a lot of crap the last two weeks, but this one is the worst. This one is the most dangerous. This is the end of our democracy.
It's the people in each of 50 separate states, following 50 separate state elections laws, compiling 50 separate elections results that are in charge of elections. Not the EC.
TRUMP, ELON, THE SUPREME COURT & THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT TO BE TRAITORS TO THE CONSTITUTION & THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,THEY MUST BE REMOVED, BY FORCE IF NECESSARY & REASSERT REALITY TO AMERICA! ACT NOW!
All of this could have been stopped if Biden had treated Trump like the threat to democracy the Democrats all said he was and ordered Trump be taken out. Diplomacy and laws won't save us now.
@whitehouse.senate.gov Hang every bit of damage and the consequence thereof on this guy and especially the Sen GOP that enabled the incoming destruction. "Breaking faith with the American people by breaking the government that serves them". Do. It. Loudly.
I agree. Chuck Schumer is not a war time Senate Leader. He she waited too long to advise the Senate caucus to vote against all of Trump's nominees. At this juncture I'm ready to sub Nancy Pelosi into the Senate.
Chris Murphy gets it. Sheldon Whitehouse gets it. Michael Bennett gets it. But you put populist Bernie Sanders out front & I guarantee you people will listen. Even MAGA.
Nancy Pelosi is the only person that consistently successfully opposed Trump during the first administration. Find me a better leader right now we can have a conversation but right now we're being beaten into the mud. I don't care what she does personally I care about her ability to win battles.
Or how about he becomes Leader? He HAS been the one sounding the alarms on ALL this corruption with SCOTUS, etc for a couple years & its all related to Heritage, etc. AND Murphy (or another younger Senator) becomes the Minority Whip.
I don't even want to discuss "Chuckie" ...imo it's time for him & Nancy to retire & enjoy their grandkids. That's the nicest way I can articulate my feelings.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Senate GOP you violated your oaths to the Constitution. You fucking idiots are putting ass kissing and cowering to a stupid felon over the country.
May God have Mercy on your souls.
Congress MUST IMMEDIATELY repeal the EO that “created” the illegitimate DOGE, and charge Musk with his crimes! This has to happen NOW before power is consolidated!
This guy should be ridiculed regularly. In all public settings, he should be laughed at mercilessly.
But if you were standing close enough a left hook wouldn’t anger most.
Much thanks to you and your fellow Democrat senators for the all-nighter, opposing Vought's confirmation!! 💙 Totally agree that Vought and R's who voted for him are gross 🤮
The scariest part is that most of the people being installed in government are kind of inept. This guy is extremely capable. And he is legitimately a monster. He is an enemy of constitutional government.
Right, this guy is incredibly smart, and evil af! The Dems/Media did a terrible job not talking nonstop about this guy the minute Trump won the election.
I’m speechless and disappointed. So many unqualified candidates have been confirmed for crucial positions! Do they even know what responsibility they have to take on? 😣 Right, they don't care.
Yes, they know exactly what they're doing. They're going to dismantle America, and rebuild it into a Christian fascist dictatorship. That's the plan with voight being there. That's the goal. Remove democrats across the board, prison camps or death, and make the people powerless. Welcome to the end.
That's because you believe in the good inside people, it's not a bad thing, but they have no good left in them. They have no moral compass. If we don't win by the end of June the country is lost. It can't go back to what it was, but they're going to completely control everything to an end by July.
There also won't be foreign aid for probably at least 5 years, unless they form a complete joint taskforce to dismantle trump from America, but it'll be war on US soil either way.
Have to start actually fighting back, not just harsh language, body armor isn't fireproof. We're at the tipping point of the United States or Republicans, one survives this. The other doesn't.
Thank you and your colleagues for making it as painful as possible. It is seen and we can hope it comes back to haunt this regime when he tries to do lawless things that will harm ordinary people.
*ACTION* If u dont already use “5 Calls” app, start today! It locates yer reps, has a list of topics & scripts you can use:
I change my location to a red state zip code so I can RAISE SOME CAIN to Republicans! Can do a different red state daily. Seelink 2 changelocation
People clamor at the Dems. GOP just smirks. I can’t get through to ask them how they sit in office breaking their oath by allowing a [something] to remove a US flag from our public websites and hijack it with some traitorous nonsense.
It’s an outrage to all of us.
They don’t care, but shame.
Fk - russell vought the author of project 2025 - or as I like to call it the trump takedown of America rules. This guy even looks like poison. They are now f'king with "Substance abuse programs" then on the other hand they are preaching to stop fentanyl across borders. musk gotta go.
You’re going home? You are letting them off the hook? DOGE is not going home, DOGE is working the halls, DOGE is in the Treasury, DOGE is doing whatever the fuck they want while you are GOING HOME?
Thanks to the senate dems for being way more public about fighting hard. We know you don’t have the votes to stop much, but making it harder is good. Maybe republicans will eventually decide that Trump/elon are hurting their constituents too much.
Is there really any hope to keep America's democratic institution of government of We the People alive or are we witnessing the start of the end of this once great nation for which it once stilled for? There is no more hope.
You democrats had a dozen tools at your disposal to make this nomination drag out another week at least. What happened? Dinner reservation you couldn't cancel?
China is playing Elon, Elon is playing Trump, Trump’s playing Christians and christofascist nerds and the Ds are doing fuck all about all of it. DO SOMETHING SHELDON!!
While saying he looks old and bitter isn’t false, I think, male or female (usually female), I try to focus on the content of their words and behavior, like the Nazi part first. Just my thoughts…
Whitehouse has been one of the good ones for a long time. I expect he is going to be ready soon to admit that DC is not going to prevent what’s coming, but that the pain will need to be widespread enough to lead to a massive uprising. Not a march or phone calls. Grinding the whole country to a halt
When a guy like @gtconway.bsky.social agrees with me and is ready to admit that there is no solution in DC and that the only solution is a massive uprising, I think the rest of us can begin coming to terms with this.
i am freaked out! why did it look like the security guard at one of our gov offices is a contracted service that stopped our elected officials from entering?
Stay on top of every move the racist, bigoted, xenophobic, freak show does. Track his every moment because he will violate the law with abandon which he alluded to during confirmation hearings!
@whitehouse.senate.gov Sen. Whitehouse—aren’t there *any* republican senators that can be snapped out of the orange blowhard’s haze? Do *any* have even a speck of a chance?

Hang in there. This is all very bad—not gonna bullshit you; but, the world defeated the fascists before and we will overcome these idiots. 💙

One of them - Marko Elez - can be removed - he resigned today after the WSJ story about his racist posts.

This man should be prosecuted-convicted merely for his love of Project 25.

Destroying the entire government is reactionary and radical, just like Vought.
Quit normalizing the abusers!
#PartyOfAbusers
We’re all gonna die.
Keep throwing sand into the republican cogs. Vote no!
What an unhappy bitter looking man.
This is what being a White Supremest does to you.
Resist and don’t comply.
