And yet here we are. Republican lawmakers can’t bring themselves to withhold confirmation of extremely unqualified & downright dangerous folks. I mean seriously, my country is at stake and senators can’t convince each other to use logical reasoning & make responsible decisions for America? We’re f*d
Oh man, gottem. Now the country is safe! You made a post, that'll show em! Dems out here showing just how impotent, irrelevant, and complicit the party is.
Congress is orchestrating a coup by offense on the Republican side, and by sleepwalking upon the status quo on the Democratic side.
And Merrick Garland should have been removed and replaced in 2021.
And it's hard for me as a world citizen to watch Democrats try to do "business as usual"
You need to behave, like Mitch McConnall behaved towards Pres. Obama.
Don't vote on anything, don't vote yes on any cabinet members.
It is furiating to hear Min.Leader Jeffries still talk about "bipartisanism"!
It is hard to imagine a political party who has failed the American people harder than the Democratic Party.
Spoken as a former Democrat. This country needs a Labor Party that actually believes in social progress and fights for the working class. Liberal Democrats be damned.
Why are ANY of these nominees ever getting confirmed? I expect the Republicans to rubber stamp the nominees, I can’t figure out for the life of me, why ANY D-Sen. would EVER vote for any of the nominees that have been confirmed? This is a complete betrayal of their Constituents & Oath of Office
Well, gee, we got the most disqualified person to run health and human services, we’ve got the most disqualified in the defense department ….. I mean we’re on a roll here……😳
You guys need to be doing more to wreck the machinery. If the oligarch-owned news media won't air you then produce some spots letting Americans know what idiocy is going on in DC.
Well, the Felon could technically ask her to hold his beer on that one! Unfortunately for America there appears to be no shortage of people who should be disqualified for any one of the positions in this administration!
the only difference is that dems allow themselves to be bullied into expelling members as republicans spin / lie / justify their members' bad behaviors.
His goal is to weaken the United States to breaking so that Putin can take advantage of our failing on the global stage, and to crash our economy so he and his inauguration billionaire policy can buy the pieces at bargain basement prices.

Hoebert, Marjorie 2 Toes or Palin might fit the bill, Ogles, Biggs, Paul, Massie, Cotton, Hawley and a bunch more mediocre white men robbing the countryby pretending to work for America. Wage theft at its finest
That's what I'm talking about! Straightforward, real speech. Now just add on 'That is why I will oppose her nomination' and you have an action item, too.
I have a job and I'll be there. You are an imbecile for thinking you know who would go or who has jobs. These are taking place in capital cities, not rural piss holes where people live off the government teat and don't work because they're drugged out on opioids.
I lived in Austin. That's about as South as you get. I've been to many of the other capitol cities as well since I've been to every state except Hawaii.
Since all the “well actually” people are popping up, change the word block with fight! Stop acting like rolling over and doing nothing is a plan. Stop being so hod damn helpless.
It only takes 51 votes to end debate and confirm Executive Branch and Judicial Branch nominees. Republicans hold enough seats to prevent Democrats from using the filibuster to block votes.
Ok, so what do you expect them to do? This isn't complacency, it's reality. The reality is that there are currently no Congressional guardrails that Democrats can use. They can try repeated calls for quorum, but only 51 Senators are required for a Senate quorum.
Don’t pass the budget. Shut it down. Stage a protest. Do fucking anything. What’s the point of rules when there is an active coup taking place? I want every dem spending every moment causing chaos. I’m tired of decorum.
Refusing to vote for the spending bill is probably the best shot they have right now. No House Dem should support it in the House, make the MAGAts do it themselves. Then Dems can and should filibuster it in the Senate with no Dem voting in favor. Also, they have been staging protests.
okay - your job to DIRECTLY LINK THE NEXT TERROR STRIKE to GABBARD - time to start the daily Pressers naming what trump is doing / not doing.. we are waiting for someone to take the lead.. @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @mcuban.bsky.social
Pete Hegseth? But yeah, she'd never be nominated in a democracy. Her utility in an Autocracy sort of eclipses the dire and absolute threat she and that entire Administration represents to National Security. Why Trump was allowed to run will be puzzled over for generations.
It was a failure of the people sworn to uphold and defend it. We now live in a lawless oligarchy, where there's no fealty to the Constitution and everything is profit driven and transactional. 250 years was a decent run.
It's hard to believe a politician like you got elected to the senate.
All the lies you told.
The pardon...won't save you.
Don't think for a second that Trump and DOJ have forgotten about you.
Get a lawyer..get in line..and wait your turn..they'll be with you soon
"If you're a Republican, and you love the Constitution more than Trump, now's your chance... If you love Trump more, then we will lose the Republic, and become the Technate of America. You will decide, and your names etched in history as those who sold the Republic to Elon Musk."
When are gop congress members going to wake up and realize they're giving away their own power and will be the targets for the next round if "firings"?????
Yes, Katie would have been out there with her whiteboard raising holy hell, while Adam sits back and regurgitates media reports. We need action — not a Senator acting as a reporter.
The FOTUS. He's a felon and 99.99% of federal employees convicted of felonies or anyone apply for federal jobs would never get security clearance because of a felony, unless they get a waiver. The 34 felonies are recent and therefore federal law applies to even the FOTUS. Ask SCOTUS for a ruling
Call in the military, marines, US Marshalls, National guard! Whatever it takes! Arrest musk now! What are you waiting for? It’s a coup and they are not playing by any rules but their own. Someone needs to realize this and stop trying to stay with protocol or we all lose!
Why is he an unelected man allowed to do any of this. He is close To Americas enemies has businesses there. He’s not a true American he has several mental health frailties . His own businesses do not let him do anything meaningful . In their words they keep him a virtual playpen.
I guess the Five Eyes accord is dead now. I mean really sharing intelligence with her. Reminds me of Bernard Woolley telling me in the 80’s. “ The Kremlin usually gets NATO defence information before it filters thru to us at Number 10 ”
Well with Dems we lost everything ! How about you step aside and let the younger people into the picture . Jerry Connolly? Really ? We need younger voices, they’re louder and get it. Dems lost an election to a flippin felon !
Yes, exactly this…
It seems like the senior democratic leaders and the DNC have always hamstrung more progressive voices and up-and-coming Democrats. Like AOC, Bernie and others. Also, Nancy Pelosi endorsing Henry Cuellar over candidate Jessica Cisneros. He was under FBI investigation.
As the minority party in the Senate, there is little they can do to stop this. It only takes 51 votes to end debate and confirm Executive Branch and Judicial Branch nominees. Republicans hold enough seats to prevent Democrats from using the filibuster to block confirmation. It sucks.
They can stop voting for these unqualified nominees… That they can do… Seeing the list of the Democrats who have voted to confirm these nominees is horrifying…
Yes, on that, we agree. The number of Democrats voting for these nominees is absolutely appalling. Each and every one of them deserves to lose to a primary challenger.
Agreed, but on the other hand, have you met the 19-year-old Dogebag named Big Ballz, whose accomplishments include graduating from high school (maybe?), illegally accessing internal data at the US Treasury, and currently serving as Advisor Bro with State?
Shut down the down government I am so sick of the Republicans bullshit they work for the people not Trump they all need to resign if they are not going to protect the people
Sharing an idea:
Zoom call protests… huge numbers of us get together in short zoom meetings where we BOO loudly. All are collected and widely distributed throughout YouTube and social media.
Please detail what your strategy is to stop the onslaught of unqualified people destroying the Federal government. As a constituent we need townhalls and information.

John Fetterman for starters
So top of list voted mainly against, typically Rubio got the green light across the board for some reason.
Bottom of list are the complicit fucks that need to go.
The middle are obviously getting kickbacks from the Republican party too.
Vote NO.
SORRY! 🍁
But hey, keep confirming them. We'll be completely fucked by the summer.
But this is not a race to the bottom or a "qualified is sufficient"
The question is " is she one of the best in the nation" which she is not.

We're getting "Punked" but it's life or death stuff.
We need a second coup in 2025
See this department doesn't work...begin dismantling
dumbing down the infrastructure
disqualifications are the goal
don doesn’t do “diligence” 🤦🏻♀️
