Senator, please vote “No” on the CR.

angrywomanwhovotes.bsky.social•45 days ago

I can't wait to vote against both Warner and Kaine. They are a disgrace.

jamesmpope.bsky.social•45 days ago

I would rewrite that to say that he has made the U.S. move in a direction of an authoritarian and fascist government modeled after the oligarchy of Russia.

8therich-hurl.bsky.social•45 days ago

Mark, it's so hard to see these posts and wonder why you are continuing to support his nominees as well as GOP supported bills. Feel free to reply here so all of your constituents can get a clear and better understanding.
@markwarner.bsky.social

donnat.bsky.social•45 days ago

Mark, we need a leader not a mansplainer. We KNOW what Trump is doing. We also know who's really behind it all. What we don't know is what YOU are doing to stop him and what can we do to help? Lead or you will be voted out. We're done with politics as usual.

books16.bsky.social•45 days ago

It might then be a good idea to stop being complicit and stop voting for his nominees. Stand up for your constituents and democracy!

brendanamartin.bsky.social•45 days ago

Gosh, which one(s), Senator?

diabol.bsky.social•45 days ago

Please vote No on the CR. It's all we've got to resist his agenda right now. Please see the Josh Marshall's piece as to why: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/here-are-the-arguments-for-why-senate-ds-should-vote-yes-and-why-theyre-wrong

blsky43.bsky.social•45 days ago

THEN VOTE NO ON THE CR! Go on record opposing this power grab, yet again, from the GOP. On Fox news you defended your votes for cabinet positions - SHAME ON YOU! Democrats in Virginia will remember this when you are up for re-election. VOTE NO ON THE CR or stop posting shit like this post.

stellastrega.bsky.social•45 days ago

@markwarner.bsky.social what are you going to do about it?

casporleder.bsky.social•45 days ago

Maybe vote no on the CR. If not, as your constituent, I’m out.

drusillagrey.bsky.social•45 days ago

Do NOT support the CR!

wbh7777.bsky.social•45 days ago

If the senate dems vote with the republikkkans to pass this💩 budget funding bill, you might as well just bend over and kiss our democracy & your jobs goodbye.

lauowolf.bsky.social•45 days ago

So I assume this means you will vote against cloture and the budget
Because otherwise you are handing Trump the remaining scraps of independent government
No Vichy Democrats, no Quislings
If you aren't defending us, what is the point of you?

And when he appears, they elect him president.

Boycott the churches on radio & TV.

eugreenia.bsky.social•45 days ago

True. So stop voting for his people and policies. Push back and stand up for your constituents

ageekygayguy.bsky.social•45 days ago

@markwarner.bsky.social DO NOT vote for this sham Republican budget. If the government shuts down, it is because the Republicans refuse to compromise. Hold firm for your constituents, like me, who are expecting their Democratic congresspeople to DO SOMETHING.

mombibel.bsky.social•45 days ago

I feel like the Trump administration is attempting to collapse our government so they can usher in a new system of governing that benefits them and those loyal to them. I have never been so fearful.

jess23.bsky.social•45 days ago

when you visited the Charlottesville post office to see why mail wasn’t being delivered, you didn’t even notice management hid hundreds of undelivered/delayed packages in the parking lot … you didn’t even bother to take time to speak to employees of the usps office to get the real story as to why

noeverythingsfine.bsky.social•45 days ago

Trump betraying our democratic allies and aiding war criminal/enemy Putin. Isn’t that straight up treason?

elizabeth-morgan.bsky.social•45 days ago

Please vote against cloture on the House CR. Trump and Musk are already shutting down the government. Don’t approve their money to keep doing it.

lilmermaid.bsky.social•45 days ago

And what have you done about it, Senator?

angrywomanwhovotes.bsky.social•45 days ago

NO on the CR. And I'm a Virginian.

stlhd1000.bsky.social•45 days ago

Then why do you continue to confirm his lunatics to the cabinet? Not use UC like they use against you?…..you never seem like you’re playing to win Mark…don’t vote for this CR if there’s any for the people blood left in ya

kastron5000.bsky.social•45 days ago

Vote no on the CR. Do not fund this government. It is well past time Democrats play hard ball.

CONGRESS HAS BEEN COMPLICIT

peonmusk.bsky.social•45 days ago

When the Senate served as a “cooling saucer” or the “adults in the room”, I would not even think of saying “fuck you” to a US senator.

Then McConnell stole Obama’s SCOTUS nomination while the Dems sat with their thumbs up their asses.

So FUCK YOU to any Dem Senator who votes “yes” on the CR !

peonmusk.bsky.social•45 days ago

dreamingbeetle.bsky.social•45 days ago

Please don’t help Trump destroy the US. Don’t vote for a CR while Trump continues to impound money congress already approved.

ponceyinaz.bsky.social•45 days ago

From @jesscraven101.bsky.social The below Dem Senators r wavering or leaning towards supporting the CR. Highlighted r the ones who are NOT up for re-election next year, so for sure have zero excuse! If you are represented by one of these Senators please call them NOW. The vote is coming very soon.

ugly-alcibiades.bsky.social•45 days ago

Feels like that’s the goal

sorrydave.bsky.social•45 days ago

Then why the fuck did you vote for six of his nominees, jackass?

gabz32.bsky.social•45 days ago

Then you better be voting NO on the CR like Kaine - otherwise your words are completely worthless and Virginians will be ready to support a primary against you

lilithvb.bsky.social•45 days ago

And y'all keep allowing it. When he pardoned Jan.6ers, he was already qualified to be removed AND Y'ALL DO NOTHING TO REMOVE HIM. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-3/

gooberdogdad.bsky.social•44 days ago

We are focusing on the CR right now.
* Object to unanimous consent.
* Vote 'NO' on cloture
* Vote no on this garbage spending bill

Anything else is supporting Trump and betraying real Americans

kaesey.bsky.social•45 days ago

And yet you support him…

scruffymc.bsky.social•45 days ago

He’s using Nazi symbols; shouldn’t this warrant some concern in the Senate?

Vote NO to any CR. Yes, I am your constituent.

johnnydigsit.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is a constitutional crisis. There’s no time for business as usual. Please stop acting like this is normal politics.

Vote NO on CR!!

voughdermort.bsky.social•45 days ago

the structures our grandparents and great grandparents put in place after wwii because of their experience of wwii have been jettisoned. Do we question their wisdom? A return to Cold War detente is the best possible horizon for international relations now. Maybe we will only be set back forty years.

hypercomaagain.bsky.social•45 days ago

And here you are, yet again telling us things we already know, instead of doing what we ELECTED you to do for Virginia and the United States. You and your ilk are letting us slide into fascism whilst shrugging your shoulders. Senator, get off your ass and off social media & fight for what is right!

david.oreol.me•45 days ago

kkope01.bsky.social•45 days ago

Vote against cloture on the House CR. We're watching.

kimoralynn.bsky.social•45 days ago

Vote no on the CR. We are fed up with you guys being spineless

superbrett.bsky.social•45 days ago

Are you going to vote for this continuing resolution just like you have voted for his cabinet nominees? Because if you continue to support him with your votes you are the problem.

equality-for-all.bsky.social•45 days ago

We ARE now an Authoritarian Nation

mlisac.bsky.social•45 days ago

Vote NO on the spending bill! It gives Trump too much power to continue to undermine our Constitution and do away with the intended checks and balances.

meaningfulsalt.bsky.social•45 days ago

It seems imperative that we tell you the obvious, but you fail to exercise your power to resist this fascist takeover again and again.
You are more than disappointing. You are putting roses on the road that will kill us. Polluted water, measles, no healthcare, no food, no relief from heat.

tackerthetalker.bsky.social•45 days ago

Vote NO on the CR- sincerely, a constituent.

karateguy4.bsky.social•45 days ago

The Don’s foreign policy is surrender! He gave Afghanistan to the Taliban, Syria to the Russians, and now he is doing the same in Ukraine. All this while destroying our NATO alliance and our alliance with Canada, which now hates us.

dctrashpanda.bsky.social•45 days ago

He's ignoring Constitutional separation of powers, and you need to do something. My suggestion would be a no vote on the CR.

Or only vote yes for a one month clean CR, and make it clear that there will be no more CRs or cloture on anything at all until the Constitutional order is restored.

snowtaco.bsky.social•45 days ago

Vote NO on the CR! This is the leverage you’ve been waiting for. You have to pull a full stop to fight the GOP. You can’t try to broker a deal with a party that doesn’t have credibility to follow through on it.

Please vote NO on the CR. We see what he’s doing. We’ve been counting on Dems to do something.

upstatemike29b.bsky.social•45 days ago

gigix2ks.bsky.social•45 days ago

nickpopper.bsky.social•45 days ago

No on the CR or I will not vote for you again. Someone has to try to stop Trump's corruption, lawlessness, and mendacity and make some effort to preserve the constitution and basic rule of law.

And vote NO on the Dirty CR.

lilwildcritters.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh, and I am a constituent and I do vote and I do promote representatives who work for their voters and know this is a crisis moment and not "business as usual". Please convey to Sen. Schumer this is not the same old political world he thinks it might be. If this is not a filibuster moment what is?

lilwildcritters.bsky.social•45 days ago

Fight for a short term CR vs 6 mo. & make Rs include protections so Congress not DOGE or Vought direct the $ in the CR. If they say they need to pay workers ask "the ones fired? Or DOGE? Few careerists remain". Delay! Wait for April 1 special elections (FL 1&6) and for protests to build. Stall.

lilwildcritters.bsky.social•45 days ago

Exactly! And give away Am. tax $ to fElon. Vote NO on the CR. Volunteer to help with a filibuster. Your voters don't want compliance they want effective use of tools & Know a shut down isn't "on" the Ds. If the media says So find another reporter and say No - spell it out like they're five. We know.
