Top house dems? These clowns forget that they are dealing with a Nazi guy. How did Hitler's life finally end? How did his cronies moved to other countries? Can the same happen here? Dems certainly won't be able to do much. Criminal president has surrounded himself with gestapos. America is screwed.

Stop talking do it

Do they need to wait for a recess so house magats don’t take advantage of their absence to ram through more hate bills faster?

krisbouncedx.bsky.social•9 days ago

Chris Van Hollen walks in…

ginalolajupiter.bsky.social•9 days ago

The senator is boarding his plane now

Send the XVIII Airborne Corps……and have them swing by the White Power House on the way back to Fort Liberty.

It's going to end up like the scenes of them outside USAID/etc offices, standing around while Nazi guards refuse entry.

I hope they're careful 🙏

It’s a trap

noirdril1.bsky.social•9 days ago

Who the hell at axios tried to call this a "scoop"? 😂 they've been discussing this for nearly a week. Not exactly anything breaking.

taz1.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trying? get on a fucking plane.Do something.

chsyank.bsky.social•9 days ago

Dems Notice! No leaders from either the house or senate.

They should also be drafting articles of impeachment over all of the unconstitutional acts committed since the inauguration. Maybe they can encourage 4 or 5 vulnerable republicans to join them and force it to the floor.

It’s about time

trishalla2012.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s a good thing because with the amount of Prisoners being sent to this prison from the US it’s going to reach max capacity… Then what will El Salvador
do to these prisoners sent from the US?

badgergiff.bsky.social•9 days ago

Senator VanHollen is already there!

buffy56.bsky.social•9 days ago

More of the DRMS need to speak up more!

aswegrow.bsky.social•9 days ago

Do it and send (-P)Resident Trump the bill instead of tax payers because that is the only thing he understands, when bill not paid file a lawsuit!

ljtrask.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well,get going! C'mon, dems!

lesliehilton0131.bsky.social•9 days ago

Go now!!! Get your house in order and GO NOW!!

marieblue71.bsky.social•9 days ago

I'm afraid they aren't going to let them back in the US

realcaptaindanger.bsky.social•9 days ago

El Salvador won't let them anywhere near that hell hole concentration camp

smellytoe.bsky.social•9 days ago

I have no idea why this is an issue or barrier, it shouldn't even be up for debate. If the dems knew what was good for them they'd already have been there calling out the bold-faced lies everyone in this admin has been pushing.

cindyhoohoo.bsky.social•9 days ago

THEY ARE GOING - #VanHollen and @booker.senate.gov are already going - supposed to leave TODAY.

wanda27.bsky.social•9 days ago

So what are they waiting for?

tylean5.bsky.social•8 days ago

All of them should go.

lillijo24.bsky.social•9 days ago

Don’t go
They’ll turn it into a trap and they will
Prolong your stay

renajane.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trying? JUST GO!

bakerotto27.bsky.social•9 days ago

Please work to get all that were illegally sent there. There are more innocent people than Mr. Garcia. Even those accused of real crimes deserve due process. But that was a small number of them. Most had NO criminal charges. Don’t forget them.

ftorange518.bsky.social•9 days ago

Show your constituents something @reppaultonko.bsky.social

speciouscranium.bsky.social•9 days ago

What’s this “trying” nonsense! Are Bernie Sanders and AOC on “official tour” across the USA! No! they are burning down the house - in Idaho! In Illinois! In Georgia!
This issue has most people seething. Go!
Is Demo policy is made in a room with 100 monkeys and typewriters? WTF!

annie-up.bsky.social•9 days ago

Good! Please go asap

balister.bsky.social•9 days ago

Are we taking bets on them being detained there?

guy-beaver61.bsky.social•9 days ago

Don't even say that.

dashleyca.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ok what happens to congress when this occurs? Does their absence leave an opening for the republican congress to force thru terrible bills?
