Q at the Town Hall:"Why is our legislative branch not stepping in to stop the chaos??" Sen. Merkley: "Elon Musk isn't finding waste fraud and abuse. He's not going in for the purpose of finding waste, they're coming in with a philosophy of destroying a govt that functions to serve the people." - ThreadSky

I've started asking them to live stream all town halls for visibility and accessibility. Maxine Dexter had almost 10k in her virtual town hall- not all of us can be in person but we can show up and we need to see those numbers!

Yes - refer back to the question in this infinite loop of crazy making!

parkroseperma.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's true, but you didn't answer the question: why is Congress not stopping the illegal actions of Elon Musk? Why is Congress so freely giving up their Constitutional powers?

derekmalaney.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes! Keep at them -- no accepting non-answers. Make them return afraid to do nothing

Hey Angela, this is adjacent, but thought you might find this interesting. Not sure how to verify something like this. (Title is clickbait but it talks about redlining and claims to mention federal data). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3PM15wCVn0

After watching that I feel like some shady stuff went on

But is this a smoking gun? IE isn't voter suppression "legal"

There are no specific laws against it as far as I'm aware?

Democrats suffer from severe feck deficiency.

Because they will each receive one gold bar from Fort Knox, signed by the President himself.

At least they’re aware. I think people are catching on quick. All of this is happening at light speed!

I have so much hope that We The People can save us and save our neighbors and our communities, and go on to build something better than establishment politicians and billionaires would have ever given us.

shellygee.bsky.social•8 days ago

By next week it appears! I joke & I share the same hopes. Thank you for all you do to educate people with your channel 🫶🏻

On another note I left a voice mail from Rep Bentz and asked him to vote No on the budget. He's not my rep....but, doesn't hurt, I guess.

foodogflowerfloozy.bsky.social•8 days ago

He’s not mine either but I called the boob to complain

bioloprof.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, his stump speech-y answers were pretty unsatisfying. And telling us all what we already know without any action plan beyond "ooh, good idea! We should now start a project 2029 for us!"...JEEZ.

My husband and I went to a town hall of his today and he didn't even do an hour of questions. There were hundreds of people there. It was wall to wall. Softballed everything. Very disappointed.

"Well, your mother said not to, to it's not MY fault she said no."

Wow, totally sidestepped the question

herbwitch1.bsky.social•8 days ago

I hope no one was carried out kicking and screaming like 1 amazing woman in an Idaho townhall. 😵‍💫😪🤧

theoldboy62.bsky.social•8 days ago

No sure this is the answer they think it is.

innervoiceout.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think the motto of this administration is a twist on the old 'you break it you bought it'. For musk and trump, it's 'I bought it, I break it'

skeggox.bsky.social•8 days ago

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social Any chance you can clarify, and maybe provide a pertinent response, please?

ka0tt.bsky.social•8 days ago

Okay senator, do your job, rather than collect the bribes and all of the influence you can get. You know the issue, so do something, anything. You won't, I and others will.

askariali.bsky.social•8 days ago

Congress isn't willing to do what it takes to stop a Nazi overthrow. When Maxine Waters was locked out of the DOE building 2 weeks ago, why didn't she tell us that DHS police officers in tactical gear were standing behind the locked doors AGAINST her. FF to end of video. https://youtu.be/u4viueoaEHg?si=Ix6JJIWjyKEBj3by

jamiepalmquist.bsky.social•8 days ago

Thank you, Senator. What are you doing to stop it?

jamiepalmquist.bsky.social•8 days ago

lucyrosef.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah. Good statement, but doesn't answer anything, does it? *sigh*
