Here’s what’s on the table:

Cutting funding for nursing homes.

Slashing health coverage.

Taking money out of the pockets of parents.

All so the GOP can hand more tax breaks to the ultra-rich.

One of my patients just got laid off. He works for a print shop. They have a lot of NGO clients. This recession is going to suck.

What are the Senate and House going to do about this?

atlasgoes.bsky.social•18 days ago

We need to cut the defense budget. They’ve never passed an audit and I’m tired of paying taxes that are misused and distributed to Elon Musk and his ilk, while people are unable to access needed services.
Government is supposed to PROVIDE SERVICES in exchange for our taxes

noodlehead70.bsky.social•18 days ago

Senator, as you see in this thread. The people are desperate for action.

noodlehead70.bsky.social•18 days ago

Start with grinding the Senate to a halt starting with RFK Jr. Nomination.

poetdevotee.bsky.social•18 days ago

Senator Warren, How do we get one of those votes of No Confidence like other countries have so that we can remove this excrement?

scrapplebottom.bsky.social•18 days ago

It goes way, way beyond tax cuts. Techbros like Thiel and Yarvin have been openly talking about accelerating the decline of the US in order to break it apart then remake it into corporate-controlled provinces where residents have no rights.

It’s a happy marriage between Christo- and techno-fascism, too, with Project2025 playing a big role

Will you please immediately do what Kinzinger suggested and physically go see what Musk and his nerds are coding on the servers? I do not authorize him to have access to my PI!

Can we the people, just stop paying taxes all together? Can't we just bleed yall dry? Hurt Y'all wear it hurts considering this what you/others have done to us? Just spitballing here.

And when everybody is dead because of their regime, what are they gonna do then? Where will their money come from if there aren't any taxpayers left?

deutchmann.bsky.social•18 days ago

If this would have happened in France it would have been mass strikes, tractors blocking all major roads and rich people sent to the chavotte. In US, democrats complaining on Twitter. You guys deserve this.

randy-raccoon.bsky.social•18 days ago

I could have made this post. Why are we paying you to make posts that I could have made.

DO SOMETHING

objectiveoutrage.bsky.social•18 days ago

Object to unanimous consent! Get loud on the floor, dig in and drag your heels. You have this power, senator. Please use it.

walteriv.bsky.social•18 days ago

This plays a bit stronger

Thank you. What are the Dems DOING to stop this?

Time for sand in the Senate gears and no more nominee approval. What would Mitch do? Shut it down.

lambdabeta.bsky.social•18 days ago

Not surprised. Republicans have no heart. All they work for are rich people and not their own constituents. I don't understand why they don't get voted out.

natty825.bsky.social•17 days ago

Do the Democrats have a plan to prevent this?

alohawk.bsky.social•18 days ago

And yet still no action from the Democrats. Start talking about getting our military in there to stop this coup! No one cares about the other stuff right now you need to stop the coup and then everything else will stop

wokeaf247.bsky.social•18 days ago

They have no control over the military. Unfortunately 😔

alohawk.bsky.social•18 days ago

wokeaf247.bsky.social•18 days ago

Who controls Congress?

alohawk.bsky.social•18 days ago

Well, that was me assuming that the Republicans might pull their head out of their ass and come together to do what’s right for our country and for their own families if they think they’re gonna survive this if it doesn’t get stopped, they’re dreaming

wokeaf247.bsky.social•18 days ago

Don't hold your breath... they seem to be all in. Mfs!

andreaeagle.bsky.social•18 days ago

It was at stake in the election and now there's nothing we can do about it, apparently.

fortheloveofcats.bsky.social•18 days ago

The GOP are POS. They’re the anti-democracy party. My hope is that they, along with Trump, do such irreputable damage to this country that it leaves a mark on the American people for decades to come.

amedilla.bsky.social•18 days ago

We must make it stop. He is killing our country

blackshagreen.bsky.social•18 days ago

During the Obama years, republicans obstructed, delayed and denied everything all the time to kill his agenda. Why do democrats not do the same? This is a hair on fire emergency, starting with prez musk and his band of hackers. OBSTRUCT, DENY AND DELAY ANY CONFIRMATIONS until elon is removed.

bonhillboy.bsky.social•18 days ago

@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social I have great respect for you but you’re looking at the trees while Trump is killing the roots of the whole wood.
Without fighting for your democracy none of the things you care about are safe.
Voters do care about this stuff but they need to be able to vote to stop it.

grady17.bsky.social•18 days ago

As an Australian, I want to apologise for inflicting that vile creature Murdoch on you guys. Saw his ugly smirking face yesterday with Trump.

jasonlassiter.bsky.social•18 days ago

Elon Musk is hijacking the finances of the entire US government. None of this other stuff matters in comparison.

hanoiski8.bsky.social•18 days ago

It’s obvious GOP is being threatened en masse to do nothing but what the felonious psychopathic rapist and his klan have ordered. Is there NO ONE among them who can break the spell and bring them to their senses? I know the answer but just have to put it out there.

gamsilroy.bsky.social•18 days ago

It's not that I need more information about why I should be freaked out, it's that I'm looking for plans and lines of attack from you all

ariabehbuh.bsky.social•18 days ago

Removing all support from the system won't be enough for the GOP or the cleptos in your gov. The rich never have enough. But, they should be careful and not poke the "armed to the teeth" bear too hard. There's so much people will be able to handle before it boils over. This is how civil wars start.

aerie9.bsky.social•18 days ago

Think we also need to develop and disseminate a plan for when the Musk/Trump administration collapses the government.

patrick-gerard.bsky.social•18 days ago

So do something about it? Your bluesky posts aren’t doing shit for us. Get off your ass and do something instead.

churanah.bsky.social•18 days ago

Ok but y'all know they are in the process of a coup right?

whitepines.bsky.social•18 days ago

The Senate has numerous procedural tools to gum up the works. Use them!!!! Make everything as hard as possible. Run out the clock. Ask yourselves, "What would Mitch do? What *did* Mitch do as Senate minority leader?" Y'all need to really get on Chuck's case about it. Stop trying to normalize this!

spikeddoormat.bsky.social•18 days ago

Senator, have you comsidered the possibility that Musk's engineers might have sold people's information including their SSNs on the Dark Web already? The possibility of an identity theft epidemic in the future sounds like something you could bring to the public's attention.

texast24.bsky.social•18 days ago

So we're at the mercy of not only reckless companies who are incompetent and can't keep our sensitive personal info safe. Now, we have to worry about the government mishandling it while sucking us dry at the same time? Really?

Logic tells me that a lot of these programs could be easily funded by wealthy paying more taxes. Logic also tells me that ultra wealthy should jump at the opportunity to see programs funded that add to the betterment of society so society can buy their products or services.

tabris-sky.bsky.social•18 days ago

If they continue to push their boot to our necks we will have no money, no value, and no way for them to grow their business. Recessions affect their incoming income. They should want a liquid society that is happy and fruitful to spend.

All this makes no sense long term.

arttrueistic.bsky.social•17 days ago

Rarely have corporate leaders and investors considered the future beyond greater and greater profits. They seem to forget that they require consumers/customers to be fiscally sound enough to purchase their products.

lucyksy.bsky.social•18 days ago

We know what is at stake. What we want to know is what you and the other Democratic "leadership" are going to do about it.
