Luckily I don’t have to. Both of my senators are Democrats who would never approve this dude who’s clearly unqualified to hold this position. I just hope that the Republican senators are sensible too and reject this guy.
While it's a good idea 4 some, won't do any good 4 me to do that.
I've no representation in my Tennessee district.
Corrupt, complicit, disgusting, Trump loyalist Marsha Blackburn has already said she supports Hegseth by her actions.

My senators are Laphonza Butler (until Jan 3rd when Adam Schiff is sworn in) and Alex Padilla. Should I still reach out to them? I assume Adam Schiff will definitely not confirm any of TFG’s picks with or without my input.
Will sign, however, will be changing the first sentence. Americans were deceived about inflation and immigration by the GOP. They weren’t told 1 million people were deported in 2023. They weren’t aware of GOP obstructionist tactics to be reelected. They were lied to about the inflation rates.
A small part of me is like...yeah, I should try. But the biggest part of me is like...where can I put my energy that might actually matter? Red NC--my efforts right into the trash bin. Dem Senators are already going to be against him. Convince me, Scott, or anyone that it isn't wasted energy.
They can’t get R Mike Braun to come back to vote against D judges.He’s getting trolled by R Senators. Worthless. So why bother. But Todd Young is a yes.
I’m in Florida. There’s a better chance sending a letter to Biden begging him to surrender the country to the military right before the inauguration then dealing with the FL puds
I live in NC, my Senators will burn my mail immediately upon opening it. It's bad enough they have threatened to chain our newly elected Governor up overriding his powers.
I’d love to but one of my senators is going to be the next vice president and the other one, newly elected, is a used car salesman and trump lackey. I will do miss Sherrod Brown.
I just phrased mine (before MG stepped away) that I had issues with a felonious rapist appointing more sexual assault perpetrators to the cabinet. I'd be watching who did what during confirmations.
My Senators are already "NO" votes for him and Gabbard, as well as so many others named, or yet to be named. Think Pam Bondi, of the $25K donation from Trump to stop Florida from investigating Trump U as the new AG... Then think of Kashyap Pramod Vinod "Kash" Patel...
I just emailed Senator Duckworth and Senator Durbin asking them NOT to vote/confirm the following:
Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense
Pam Bondi for Attorney general
Tulsi Gabbard Director of national intelligence
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Health and human services secretary
For those of us with Democratic Senators, getting them to no is easy. Republican Senators will likely do what trump tells them to because he’s got their constituents in his the palm of his tiny little hands.
This is a very stupid question, but what do you say when you call? Would something like this be enough: "I'm calling to voice my displeasure with [nominee's name] and I urge you to not vote in favor of their appointment". (My brain needs scripts for these types of actions)
"I'm calling to voice my displeasure with [nominee's name] and I urge you to not vote in favor of their appointment." This is perfect. You can also let your concerns be known regarding cuts to veteran's healthcare and social security, etc.
Thank you! I sometimes freeze when calling, so having a plan helps. My new years resolution for 2025 includes calling my fed and state reps & local politicians regularly. They're going to know me on a first name basis soon enough. 😂
I also said I was unhappy that the country was heading towards a dictatorship and that Trump should not be allowed to remove three and four star military generals to install his own MAGA loyalists to help him destroy our democracy.
I’m in MA w/Warren & Markey & still did it. This is not a waste of time no matter the state. The purpose is to show unprecedented outrage regardless of whether we think it moves the needle. It’s not just about likelihood of affecting outcomes, it’s about sending a message - critical in every state.
Real question. I live in a blue state and I know my Senators will oppose Dump's junk drawer of crooks & clowns. Would it make a difference to call or write to the Senators of red states asking them to oppose?
He is a white supremacist, without the ability to manage one of the largest budgets in the world ... and is accused of drugging and raping a woman. I bet there's more of them out.
Thanks. Let’s find out which Senate committees and Senate subcommittees these two are on, then contact the other members of those committees and subcommittees who can advocate for us and put pressure on Rubio and Scott.
Because of you, I've been emailing my representatives and senators almost daily for the past week, which is more than I've ever done. I plan to do this daily (and call them, too!)
Sadly I’m stuck with Bernie Moreno 🤮
He’s salivating to start deporting Haitians out of Springfield OH.
I cannot stand that bastard. I knew Ohio was bad, but at least we had Sherrod Brown 😞
Seems to me the Large Orange Lardass is choosing cabinet members that behave just like him. No respect for women and any female is fair game to them. Sick fuckers.
Senators Van Hollen, Cardin & soon-to-be Alsobrooks will oppose Hegseth who is doing his best to reach "Newt-onian" Gingrich levels of #GOPHypocrisy beside being 100% INCOMPETENT
No. Republican senators loyalty are to Trump, to whom they owe their election! So they think. Besides, when your enemy is on the path of madness why will you want to stop him/her? Let them dig their own pit. Hopefully, they’ll dig it deep.
And Vivek for the fake Dept. Soldiers/sailors and veterans have to be protected from these guys. I/we were exposed to Agent Orange, and like Burn Pit vets, we are owed VA coverage and healthcare. Not to mention other problems vets face. Write your Senators, I did. We must fight as a team.
I wrote to mine, Marco Rubio & Rick Scott on endless issues & got only 1 crazy reply from Rubio. I'm pretty sure I got my account suspended on X for my replies on Scott's majority leader campaign posts exposing his Medicare fraud and more. May be better to ask Biden to do FBI checks & release info.

Tammy B would oppose Hegseth 100% of the time.
Ronnie J will approve whoever Putin throws his way 100% of the time.
Also using “hide my email” the generator gave me this. That’s fun.
Maga boots.
it will noy matter

And I just wrote my Congresswoman about BONDI.
From @dworkin.bsky.social article today!
They’re probably popping champagne corks at MaraLago as we speak. 🙄
Oh and he is a serial cheater!

Signed, a disgusted Ohio resident.
👍😁
This song was written for him.

Sherrod Brown is outgoing and won't be voting in confirmations. Is there any point in calling him?
Is there anything else someone like me could do?
https://x.com/RichardClip/status/1860163813036949639
You can't tell him what to do
The other is Dave McCormick from Connecticut wall Street tells him what to do
Especially when Yaas the billionaire yanks Dave's leash
