Elon Musk must get out of our government. https://youtu.be/i9If_4f_604

I don't think anyone even noticed you brought them. Al Green's response was effective, this wasn't. You can't stand up to Trump if you're afraid to be rude.

Walk out!!!!

Why did you all ignore the potential evidence of him cheating? Why didn’t you have any objections during the certification? Why didn’t you uphold sec 3 of the 14th amendment?

Answer these questions. You owe us.

And the out of touch Republicans had the nerve to highlight a child who's survived brain cancer probably due to research in the field. Hope he never needs treatment again; he'll be out of luck since they cut kids cancer research. The absolute hypocrisy and cruelty are the point but seriously, WTF!

partlypeaceful.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Omgggg MAGA is flipping out because the Democrats didn’t stand up and cheer for the child who survived brain cancer… they’re too stupid to recognize the resistance of the hypocrisy 🙄 They didn’t cheer because the hypocrite in office just fired research staff at NIH 🤬

Remember Putin wants to destroy the US. He uses his assets to make this happen by dismantling the government, downsizing the military, destroying the economy, dividing the people, and divorcing alliances.

Thank you for standing up for (and with) NIH and federal workers.

Do you know how many Democrats, Republicans and Independents protested at state capitals today? You and your colleagues should be out with us, not inside with Trump.

Stop holding up paddles and start kicking and screaming. Get dragged out of there! Resist! Disrupt! Call Him Out! #Trump #Congress #Address

Give props to Al Green for slamming his foot down. That little bitch Mike Johnson and the rest of his buddies should be expelled from Congress.

This is heartbreaking to watch the Dems do nothing at this speech. We want every single one of you getting escorted out by being loud and protesting!! FIGHT FOR US already!!

It’s going to be really hard to get Trump and Elon out of office after 4 years. I can’t stand them

Did she not send me an email telling me what she did last week? Is that why I fired her because that is on her then

papito.bsky.social•1 day ago

So are you hooking her and others up with a gig, or this just like performative nonsense. JFC.

Jamie Raskin - You are the greatest! Thank you for everything you're doing to save our democracy.

flipturns.bsky.social•1 day ago

The question is what is Congress going to do about any of these firings and defunding going on by Trump and Dogue.

mi-taurus.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m going to say it again, Republicans have their strawman of “waste, fraud, and abuse” tag line I think Democrats need one that can be easily understood and spread across all platforms and can be used during every interview and speech. For example, “Taxes, tariffs, and terminations”.

mikemillennial.bsky.social•1 day ago

genxsher.bsky.social•1 day ago

You should be the democratic leader in the House, not Jeffries. He’s not got the backbone for it.

Nobody gives a shit who members of Congress brings to hear the Nazi give a speech.

This is not "messaging" this is ineffective DC brain perforative nonsense.

Trump and Musk’s illegal chaos sacks Dr. McGee, a cancer-fighting hero. Kids lose cures while this admin burns science to ash. Pure disgrace.

I care about the guests’ lives, and I understand the tactic, but this was the time to take a stand and collectively walk out in protest. As an older veteran and someone who values decorum, I am even saying it’s time to fight fire with fire. We can dissent in a peaceful yet powerful way.
