I used to advise Senators like you. As former Military (ARMY) . My advice now is to take the gloves off and go bare knuckles. Never did I think I would see my own government fall to internal treason by a party I used to belong to. Regan would call out the Army and jail them.

tb5254.bsky.social•97 days ago

Senator you all have to stop this takeover of our government. They are destroying the country brick by brick!!

annem6.bsky.social•96 days ago

When so much destruction is going on this seems sort of oddly calm. Would prefer to know what you are doing for us citizens right now.

superman55.bsky.social•96 days ago

I know!! You just want to fucking sake these democrats and say wake up and look around at what is happening!!!! Rights are being stripped away daily and he’s holding up a plaque. I’m really starting to believe that they don’t know really what to do in this situation or they have secretly given up.

melmcxiv.bsky.social•97 days ago

Peace be with you and all who loved your Dad. The men and women of our military deserve everything we as a nation could provide; the best Healthcare (we don't have) adequate housing (greed won't allow) better training to go from military to civilian life.

karijohn.bsky.social•97 days ago

You have a lot of work to do to make sure veteran's do not lose their benefits, their jobs or the VA. i know no one on your staff reads this so...

computerguyglen.bsky.social•97 days ago

So sorry for your loss, Mr Schiff. 🫶🏼

mrsrobotbirdie.bsky.social•97 days ago

What are you going to do about the 200k federal workers who are now unemployed with a majority in California???? We are only seeing lip service from you and no actions. Lead some webinars to communicate with your constituents.

informationbank.bsky.social•97 days ago

The Dems need to Organize, Publicize, and Mobilize. There's a lot of activity going on nationally but without organizing the information, the impact is lost - especially when Trump & Musk rule the media. https://sharonlawrence.substack.com/p/elections-an-action-plan-for-voters-e73. Dems instead are just fundraising.

Umm….. nice plaque, but how about fixing your voicemail so you can hear from constituents? With all respect, posting abt a plaque seems tone deaf at this moment.

Feel free to tell the DNC that now is the time to summon all the wisdom of our great leaders to face the challenges ahead. Hitting us up for campaign cash when we go to the DNC website is soooo off base. They seem not to know what's going on. Compare to the Working Families Party.

nebulousbobcat.bsky.social•97 days ago

As a veteran I want to know: what are you doing about this bloodless Coup D’Etat?! What have you done to restore democracy!?

informationbank.bsky.social•97 days ago

Here's the plan. I'm fleshing it out as rapidly as I can. Sadly no Democrat seems interested in taking a leadership/organizational role in the resistance (although Bernie and Elizabeth are doing great on their own).

Nothing and nothing. It’s up to us. Boycott whatever you can, blow up your representatives phones and email (for record; we know most of them won’t act) save funds and goods if able. Be ready to share and stand up if necessary if a situation arises. Like OH residents did when Nazis showed up.

So a plaque keeps Dem Senators acting like everything is operating as normal...got it.

cannonball-titcomb.bsky.social•97 days ago

I have a friend who is a retired Navy officer. I asked him is the military will follow the Constitution or Trump. The way he answered causes great concern since most officers will simply claim "they were just following orders." The Nuremburg Trails are so long ago the military has forgotten.

uranium69.bsky.social•97 days ago

After the fucking trump gave them in Afghanistan making a deal with the talabon I hope they remember.

wiremanlookswest.bsky.social•97 days ago

They are under no obligation to follow unlawful orders. That’s why they’ve been trying to fill up the military with those who will. However I do have faith that our military leaders at the highest levels still believe in their oaths and will hold the line as best they can.

bluejwoo.bsky.social•97 days ago

Super. Now please do something to stop the madness that is going on all around us. It’s the least that you.

informationbank.bsky.social•97 days ago

Dems don't even have to bother with making up a plan of attack. I'm doing that for them. https://sharonlawrence.substack.com/p/elections-an-action-plan-for-voters-e73 They just seem disinterested in doing anything but hitting us up for money.

druidscircle.bsky.social•97 days ago

Please issue an immediate response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,”, and of his taking back $80Million in appropriated funds from NYC in a clearly retaliatory attack on a blue state. These are classic fascist moves and he needs to be removed from office ASAP

brookeo.bsky.social•97 days ago

Please ask them not to turn on the people we when mobilize in resistance to this nazi regime.

straightgoods.bsky.social•97 days ago

Do not fund the government....Shut it down.

It's your and sane Americans' only leverage over an out of control tyrannical dictatorship.

Shut the fucking government down

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social•97 days ago

You'd better man up then because the book banning shit going on at Ft. Campbell ain't flying and the 101st is on the side of the Nazis now.

lajardinaire.bsky.social•96 days ago

Nice plaque. Now please stop of this literal coup.

superman55.bsky.social•96 days ago

In addition, you and others should be investigating these alt-right organizations such as
The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society. This is where a lot of this dark money is coming from allowing all this weirdos, racists, pedophiles, to run for office.

"A patriot" would do something about the coup instead of farting around and taking 3 and 4 day weekends every week.

spencer1751.bsky.social•97 days ago

Whenever you're ready to fight, I'll be waiting. Still waiting.

minxsmum.bsky.social•97 days ago

Beautiful plaque, maybe Musk&Felon (M&F)will let you take it home when Congress is shut down! You do realize federal employees are being fired for no reason!?! M&F will likely shut down Congress at some point.They don't need you. WE need you! Stop the coup! Please.

zara2355.bsky.social•97 days ago

How about you cut this performative shit right the fuck out and, oh, i unno, do your fucking job and at least attempt to save democracy?

Oh fuck me, who am i kidding, the billionaires own your feckless ass too

oligarchymalarkey.bsky.social•97 days ago

Please organize a walkout of Trump's state of the union speech. Everyone should rise just as he starts his speech, hold up a copy of the U.S. constitution, and file out of the room silently.

minxsmum.bsky.social•97 days ago

Maybe instead of silently leaving (that would please the Repubs), they could make some good trouble. Chant "Stop the Coup" or "Save the Constitution!" at applause breaks? Or small placards on a stick to hold up with the chants on them. LOL, We're saving our country...desperate times and all.

katefox1.bsky.social•97 days ago

So glad you got an award. Are you twelve??? How about doing something to save our democracy!! Do your damn job.

markybob.bsky.social•97 days ago

That’s great, now please begin using the correct language to describe and trump and musk are engaged in: it’s a “coup.” You are your colleagues should be SCREAMING this at every possible opportunity!

bargdaffy.bsky.social•97 days ago

The Corporate Coup d'Etat of our Government has already happened, its over, this is just the Corporate Oligarchy coming to take full claim over the Government of the Untied States.

informationbank.bsky.social•97 days ago

Dems have no plan. I've created one for them. Now just need to get someone to BE A LEADER!

uranium69.bsky.social•97 days ago

This is a new game it takes time to figure out how to deal with it.

katefox1.bsky.social•97 days ago

We don’t have time.

uranium69.bsky.social•97 days ago

yes we do and once we learn the game we will play to win. this is new to all of us and we are getting a handle on how to fight trump/muck and yes it takes some time. don't get discouraged.

dangfine.bsky.social•97 days ago

That’s nice but the Sec of Defense just told everyone how weak we are and how long it would take us to not be and then the US Army retweeted Libs of TikTok. I could go on but there’s letter limit.

As a vet myself, that plaque is well deserved. Thank you for all you've done and will do for this country's service members, active duty, reserves and veterans. And I'm sure your father led an amazing life.

digitalforest.bsky.social•96 days ago

Trump sticking his fat face into this with Putin is going to lead to a wider war. Europe has no respect for Trump. They will rally behind Ukraine. The UK is signaling they won't hesitate to call up the troops if needed.

If this should escalate will maga rally behind Russia or our European allies?

plutocracynow.bsky.social•97 days ago

Why are you and other Dems in leadership being so complicit?

mdgh.bsky.social•97 days ago

So, just like Amy K. and a few others, these lil tidbits of info is most likely posted by a staffer. If you haven’t noticed, they do not read responses, acknowledge or reply to them. They are not paying attention to what you’re trying to tell them. It’s all fluff and happy happy news.

braveartisan.bsky.social•97 days ago

That's a nice plaque. Now how about you rally some of those Army folks to help us citizens stop the coup.

katefox1.bsky.social•97 days ago

Please! Remove these treasonous monsters. Is a coup Adam. Why are none of you saying that. We’re on fire!

superman55.bsky.social•96 days ago

That would be a logical step forward!

informationbank.bsky.social•97 days ago

Here's a plan ... I made it easy for them. They just need to step up and invest the resources needed into coordination of the resistance. Tremendous lot of activity but the impact is being lost because it's scattered all over the US and Trump-Musk are dominating the media.

wiremanlookswest.bsky.social•97 days ago

Those of us who are able, are willing and ready. But we can’t wait on them to do their jobs. If they were going to do it, they would’ve done it already and we wouldn’t be where we are right now. It’s up to us.

I made it easy for the Dems. I developed a planhttps://sharonlawrence.substack.com/p/elections-an-action-plan-for-voters-e73. Now if I could just get someone interested in doing something other than raising money.

superman55.bsky.social•96 days ago

There will be no donations until We The People see a real swift in the Democratic Party. Meaning younger, tougher, progressive, fighters both literally and figuratively and with a solid foundation of destroying Trump and maga.

We won't be getting plaques but I'd like to honor my father He served in the Army in WWII, a purple heart: Max Finestein. A finer, more honest, kind and generous person has never lived. He unfortunately passed when he was 63, an age he kidded he would finally get on public transportation for free.

mr-gecko.bsky.social•97 days ago

Careful! Hegseth will fire all involved in giving that plaque.

Re: Musk. When Trump invites the world’s richest man to smash the government like a piggy bank in order to grab billions in tax cuts … that's THE conflict of interest.

(No need to dig into FAA vs. SpaceX, or NLRB vs. Tesla, etc.)

sargeadam.bsky.social•96 days ago

So, business as usual? While Trump rapes & robs our country? Great job doing nothing about it, Sir. Keep playing, Senator, while our country crumbles. You should be working on stopping Trump 24/7 and nothing else. Anything else is a waste of time and nonsense. Stop this MONSTER!

Every time he posts about how normal things are, he gets ridiculed. Yet he continues. It must be a cry for help. Adam: blink once If they've threatened your safety, twice if it's your family, three times if they have dirt on you. Either way, please resign so someone can be appointed to replace you.

informationbank.bsky.social•97 days ago

The biggest priority is to organize, publicize, and mobilize. There's an enormous amount of grassroots activity but it's not being coordinated & publicized, so the impact is lost. Gotta impress upon the media, Republicans & voters the magnitude of the push back. That's what my plan recommends.

Excellent. Yes we need our military service members.

Please have the veterans who have been fired from government work on social media and tv endlessly starting now talking about the impact to them and country of their illegal firing. We need people to see what’s happening to vets still serving

informationbank.bsky.social•97 days ago

Here's a plan for doing what you're talking about and much more. I am posting it all over but I can't get any Democrat to be interested. In the meantime, the impact of all the protest work is being lost because Trump commands the media. We need to Organize, Publicize, and Mobilize.

gumshoeless.bsky.social•97 days ago

This is an excellent, well conceived idea. Kudos.
