Despite all these Senate Democrats talking about how frustrated they are with the Trump administration, they continue to help confirm his nominees.
The nomination of Doug Collins to serve as Secretary of Veteran Affairs was just confirmed in a 77-23 vote.

Democrats won’t protect democracy because they might lose their position of privilege.
@support.bsky.team we need edit option
business as usual?
ANY leader, Dem or Rep, who fail to stand up, because of fear, will loose power because US Constitution will no long exist &
you won’t have a job when this COUP is done.
Please Do What You All Swore An OATH: Support and Defend the US Constitution.
That’s where I throw in the towel for Democrats. They’re capitalist whores.
All of them.
This is silly. Democrats truly have bigger problems than confirming uncontroversial nominees. They know full well that Trump can always use recess appointments if they balk, and that doesn't help Dems one bit.
And they need to FOCUS.
If Senate Rs insist on being idiots & voting for RFK & Tulsi & their ilk, the best form of recourse is likely via the courts.
Like this.
I think you fail to understand the gravity of the threat.
If they're federal judges, they have to be confirmed by the Senate – and if one party controls it & the presidency, they likely get to pick whomever they like.
You suggested a judicial remedy.
She gave us some garbled “reach across the aisle” garbage in response, of course.
Grind the Senate to a halt.
Absolutely no confirmations until Elon Musk and his minions are dragged before the Senate to testify about what they’re doing.
Fucking worthless
Why is is that Dems never seem to do this?
A-men!!!

Could. Not. Agree. With. You. More. If. I. Tried.

Which was the "fascist party" in 1940? Seems to me that it would have been super-easy for the US to ally with Japan and Germany instead of the UK and the USSR.
You're also torturing the definition of 'apartheid'. And you're diminishing the crimes of South Africa in doing so.
And I'm not "torturing the definition of aparthied" you just have an ahistorical and whitewashed understanding of US history.
