Keep up the pressure, Dems. Make those last minute Trump voters who bought the hype that he wasn't dangerous change their opinions. Remember the legendary Bernie-Trump voters? That's the kid of voter to bring back to reality! #Kashhimout

trixievee.bsky.social•65 days ago

The GOP has tortured the American people with filibusters for as long as I have been around & Dems just always seem to accept the hand they have been dealt. It’s time to listen to your screaming constituents - no to all noms!!!! We can’t go down w/o a fight. Viva La Revolution 👊🏻

Good work Judiciary Dems. Keep bringing that zeal.

If government healthcare doesn’t work, how has Chuck Grassley been in Congress longer than I’ve been alive?

We already know they’re terrible and the republicans and some spineless dems will vote yes
We’re screwed

Yes! if we don’t have the power to win yet, make it as miserable as possible for them to have the win. I’m optimistic things will improve. People are starting to listen. Keeps celebrating small wins and building momentum!

🚨DEMS:
Loud dissonant disruptive leaving not 1mm of space for them to accomplish ANYTHING

Think of the GOP as counting hairs on a scalp while Dems turn a blowdryer on it

Shut down the Senate! No quorum, no votes…

Mitch McConnell spent 50 years crafting this playbook. Just read it.

@indivisible.org wrote it down! We’ve been calling and making the demands. WTF is wrong with these ppl!

isaleshko.bsky.social•65 days ago

I hope soon you educate us on what maneuvers—if any—are available to House Dems to delay & obstruct Trump’s agenda.

I understand why we are heavily focusing on the Senate, but we need to keep pressure in the House too.

krishere.bsky.social•65 days ago

Input all of your elected officials (county, state, federal) into your contact list so you can quickly make calls every day; go to https://usa.gov/elected-officials for the contact information of all your elected officials from mayor to POTUS.

itsamichellething.bsky.social•65 days ago

My Senators and Rep are in my contacts and I call daily. 👍

krishere.bsky.social•65 days ago

Yay! We got this! Are you finding it difficult to get through to your senators in DC? Four times, I've had my calls dropped when calling my senator, Senator Klobuchar. It happened two days ago.

itsamichellething.bsky.social•65 days ago

Early in the week was challenging but it’s easier now. I keep their local office numbers handy for when I can’t get through to DC.

The real reason Musk targeted USAID. This is government overreach for personal gain, pure and simple:

Delay tactics have been used by Trump. Use delay tactics against him and his corrupt administration.

thirdeve.com•65 days ago

We must also remind every Republican ignoring us with their votes & serving only their own party that they’re failing to serve the other half of Americans who did not want this. We’re going to put their failure to act like constitution-respecting, constituent-responsive lawmakers on blast.

valenciabluesky.bsky.social•65 days ago

I get so tired of Republicans only thinking of what is good for their party, instead of what is good for the country in general. Mitch McConnell said it to 60 minutes, he supported Trump because he's a Republican. Why she didn't follow up with this is one more example of media failure.

citizenjones123.bsky.social•65 days ago

Name any Republican who would be a better FBI Director than Patel, that D’s could support.

Congress USED to do this.
So we get moderate, acceptable picks.
It would give R’s the ability to reject Patel & go to Trump w/ a better pick.

But Schumer REFUSES to, all but ensuring Patel’s win.

Anyone?

kdjs-1.bsky.social•65 days ago

And we can keep pressuring - hoping that a few Republicans decide to vote their conscience & honor their oath & constituents

joeahargrave.bsky.social•65 days ago

I don't understand, really. Tuberville held up military promotions for months with his "hold." Why can't the Democrats do this now?

m0onchild01.bsky.social•65 days ago

Question - have any Floridians received so much as an auto-reply from Rick Scott or Ashley Moody? I'm going to start leaving them daily voicemails since they seem to be ignoring their email.

My representative (also a Republican) at least sends an auto-reply and I've received a couple responses.

frankgindc.bsky.social•64 days ago

The latest news on Kash Patel ($5M in cash from Chinese for undisclosed services) would seem to give some ammunition to block him. Maybe?

frankgindc.bsky.social•65 days ago

Also, have Dems forgotten (or not learned) the value of prebuttals? (Eg Musk is messing around with TD payment system, GOP doesnt care, Dems say it will cause massive problems. Massive problems occur. Dems say I told you so…here are the other risks going forward, are you going to believe us or GOP?)

frankgindc.bsky.social•65 days ago

Also, Dems could note how during the campaign they said that Trump was authoritarian — and this is what that looks like!!

markr51.bsky.social•65 days ago

At the absolute minimum, they should all be no votes on every nomination.

bklynz.bsky.social•65 days ago

Thank u!
Continue to SHUT down the Senate. STOP the coup 💙

Watching Grassley cry about the fact that they had to have a meeting today brought me so much joy. 😂

jcdemund.bsky.social•65 days ago

#DenyUnanimousConsent Hold up the vote before it gets to the floor (before filibuster) Call every Dem Senator to demand it. Use the app, make the call, DO something more than posting!! https://Www.5calls.org

The should have been doing this all along. Quit bringing butter knives to gun fights!
