Senator a bunch of uncleared Zoomers racists breached the USAID SCIF Saturday night and downloaded a lot of classified data to their private devices. Who have they shared that data with already and why were these assholes not arrested or killed in the attempt?

arizona92.bsky.social•20 days ago

Are you kidding me?????? We’re in the middle of an administrative coup. The cost of goods is - and I know this is surreal- not important!

sk84fundc.bsky.social•20 days ago

Current actions are a lot more than breaking that promise.

krobdill.bsky.social•20 days ago

Good lord, we are just 3 weeks into this nightmare. Please make it stop.

krackness.bsky.social•20 days ago

Democrats are really proving right now that they won't prevent and will sit back and watch while we are attacked by a terrorist. Oh, you're not in power...you can't do anything? Seriously??? Terrorist attack. Stop following the fucking rules!! There should be a public hearing on Elon right now!!

You voted to confirm the Treasury Secretary who handed Musk the keys. You are therefore complicit. You should be primaried. Get your act together.

notreallyhereshhhh.bsky.social•20 days ago

You are one who voted to confirm some the HORRIBLE cabinet nominees that are moving through, and now you come here expecting us to feel like you support us? Your post is no better than a bland retweet. Stop confirming these abhorrent nominees. Stop playing along. Because YOU ARE PLAYING ALONG.

neptuniandemocracy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Confirmations must stop for an inquiry, injunction/investigation of Muskalini and boy digital interlopers are prosecuted. Governor Youngkin refuses to take calls; hung up on me, sending emails directing me to contact my Senators, which of course, I’ve already done. Youngkin is toast! 👏

rebeccabact.bsky.social•20 days ago

We're so tired of this. Can you do ANYTHING to stop an unelected billionaire from taking over the operations of the government and in general to hold the line on the incredible, illegal overreach coming from the executive right now?

aginrva.bsky.social•20 days ago

So are Ds just posting thru this? Are you going to actually *do* something to keep Trump from illegally shutting down agencies and tanking our economy?

moonrushn.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not to mention the power he has given his co-president Musk.

hoopnholler.bsky.social•20 days ago

DO SOMETHING

godsrebel.bsky.social•19 days ago

I'm gonna need you to NOT confirm ANY MORE of these ridiculous nominees! Start with that! Stop rolling over for this evil regime!

notesinthemargin.bsky.social•20 days ago

You took an oath. DO YOUR DAMN JOB

spicylorax2006.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not only but also - DOGE is an unconstitutional entity and needs to be shut down. Musk has no authority to act, even if the President tells him to. I demand action by the Senate today. Shut down these actions at OPM, the Treasury Department and the State Department NOW.

cindydailey.bsky.social•20 days ago

The lack of activity by the democratic party is terrifying. What are you DOING? Is there ANY plan?

mommasoap.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hi Senator, I tried calling your office several times this morning but would eventually get hung up on by the time I got to your voicemail. Anyway, what are you going to do about the fact that our Social Security numbers and private Treasury information have likely been compromised???

edgo.bsky.social•20 days ago

Has the same experience multiple times—15 minutes on hold and then the system tells me to leave a message. Look what Senators Schatz & Kim are doing and do the same. And DO NOT vote for any more cabinet noms. Backing Bessent allowed this to happen!

erfaulkner.bsky.social•19 days ago

Please vote NO on ALL Trump nominees! We need strong dem leadership right now - no more yes votes. Your constituents deserve better than this.

theboxenking.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hi, Virginia (and Warner) voter here, is there a reason why you've decided that our lives aren't worth anything to you?

azuredragon.bsky.social•20 days ago

@markwarner.bsky.social , what about reports that Musk's staff gained access to the US Treasury/payment systems? And what's heppening with USAid? I'm a VA resident and am very concerned about this access and control non-elected parties are attempting to exert across fed. agencies.

freeloadersb.bsky.social•20 days ago

You didn’t lose the election because of economics… stop pretending that economics are going to win the presidency back.

outdoorjess.bsky.social•20 days ago

Along with every part of the constitution but sure let’s talk about groceries more Senator.

davidgmueller.bsky.social•20 days ago

You voted to spend TRILLIONS of dollars that we did not have. All that money printing drove up prices. It's called dilution of the purchasing power of the dollar.

donnasparklees.bsky.social•20 days ago

Do not vote for any additional Trump nominees. Not a single Republican would vote for qualified Harris nominees if shoe was on the other foot. Obstruct with every procedural tool u have. Vote NO.

emilyvote.bsky.social•20 days ago

Are you just going to sit there while musk (unelected and not confirmed for anything) hacks government databases?

WHERE IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP?
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU PEOPLE?
Have you turned to milquetoast?

stevenbrodietucker.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trump's dog whistles to the Christian Nationalists and white supremacists, to those with patriarchal and oligarchical thinking, and to the fascists all but ensured that his supporters will tolerate anything he does, so long as their disturbing personal perversions are satisfied.

Imagine being so lazy and simple-minded that voters flocked to Trump because they thought he could magically lower the price of eggs. (And everything else.) it’s as if 49.8% of voters have a mass-case of Daddy Issues.

maddyann.bsky.social•20 days ago

So... What are you going to *do* about it? The Rs had a whole playbook for gumming up the works when they were in the minority; what are the Ds going to do now???

ihatemaga.bsky.social•20 days ago

Please don't forget to call, write, email, & use their online contact form & social media accounts. No decrease in payments. Do it for your grandparents, kids, spouse, & yourself. Trump does keep his campaign promises whether good or horribly bad. Hold his feet to the fire.

How can you call yourself a Democrat? You voted yes to confirm Bessent the man who has given Musk all of our Social Security information. I am facing homelessness again because the Trump administration is going to take away our (Mom and I) benefits. How could you betray us?

The American public will soon feel the impact of the decisions being made in the White House and react in due course. The more significant concern is that the laws and Constitution are being shredded by a complicit Congress, which seems too shell-shocked to enforce the law effectively.

onthesmallfarm.bsky.social•20 days ago

The Executive is conducting an all-out blitzkrieg against government agencies that do not submit to its will and power. Congress is complicit in the abdication of power and absent from reigning in this executive power grab. I plead with you to lead with others who see the danger.

akorengold.bsky.social•20 days ago

How about you actually do something to obstruct, deny, resist, impeach, and convict instead of this performative crap?

knifeboots.bsky.social•20 days ago

So you're not going to confirm any more nominees, right? Right?

And you're going to USAID today with Rep Beyer to address this unlawful shuttering of a federal agency, yes? And then you're going to address the OPM and Treasury takeovers right?

We need action, not platitudes and campaign slogans.

Elon Musk and his team dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID)…"spent the weekend feeding USAID into the woodchipper" said Musk. Trump agrees USAID will be completely eliminated. The https://USAID.gov website is offline this morning.

mickpea.bsky.social•20 days ago

USAID provided more than $110 million annually in support to Gaza and the West Bank. In 2024, USAID provided $336 million in additional aid. From now on, $0 to Gaza.
