Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

Where the Hell have you been?!?
Are there any left?
He’s done nominating.
Too little too late.
Some people have been so slow in recognizing what is coming. Our elected officials at the top of the list of not seeing it
On Bluesky, a left-wing echo chamber, it wasn’t even appearing in any search terms the next day. Sunday news shows barely even showed footage.
3.3 million attended, so that’s a good start, but they are not sustained, so not going to impress him.
Day 1. Every Democrat who voted yes on nominees should be primaried. Full stop.
For fuck sakes every frickn nominee he brings on board to continue raping America is worse than the one before!!!!
The Supreme Court seems to enjoy being on trumps side, too!!!!
Greed > morality
Profit > People
Denial > science
We the few > we the many
White > brown
Russia > World
can't you see what a futile attitude this is ?

You hear me @schumer.senate.gov ? YOU ARE TERRIBLE!
RESIGN!
I heard and saw what he said and what it did for folks in the resistance.
Get busy fighting back instead of tearing down Dems.
I'm tired of people complaining about what congress has or hasn't done without doing the mosf they can do.
It's fine to want more. It's not productive to bash steps in the right direction.
We need additional ways. The shadow hearings will reach some. Maybe something like community advocacy workshops to help people get heard and helped?

And you're right, there are pockets of good in the party still. Bernie, AOC, Booker, Rasking, Murphy...
If only the party could get on the same page. I hate to say... like the GOP 😬
So nothing will happen unless there's a law, or rather, an amendment.
Sometimes you have to let these idiots beclown themselves for the world to see before you act to intervene.
Counterfactuals are impossible to prove.
like Rubio.

Dems could have held any nominee.
These are failures to fundamentally understand the moment

And they should be shamed for such poor judgement
Not that its the right choice..
parlimentary proceed is not simple, nor straightforward
Are you kidding!
ReTHUGliKKKans drop nuclear bombs again and again and again and again and again …🤑
Dumbocrats are cannibals
Dumbocrats wannabe Republicans
ReTHUGliKKKans unite behind their flawed candidates
ReTHUGliKKKans DOUBLE DOWN on ProjeKKKt2025
Dumbocrats defined by GOP🤦🏻
#duh🤷🏻♂️
Now that they're seeing just how furious we are, SOME of them are starting to get the message.
Keep up the pressure.
Boots on necks.💙
I can maybe kind of understand not wanting to appear partisan, but for fucks sake! Trump literally appointed an anti-vax scammer with a history of brain worms!
That way, no-one will ever yell at you for not doing it earlier.
True opposition would require becoming a true party of the working class but they only want to defeat fascism if they get to go back to neoliberalism
You awake Chuck?
(An expression I never ever use.)
That’s my senior senator! I am calling Blumenthal tonight to thank him!
Shoulda done it starting January 21, but better late than never!
EVERY SINGLE DEM will have their record scrutinized at reelection time. Most will fail miserably. The gravy train of power, deceit, corruption and greed is over. We're burning down the party and starting fresh.
Democrats tend to want to get along
Michael Moore called it way back in the 90s. Corperate media is blinding us. It used to be cable. Now it's much worse with the internet and algorithm-based "feeds".
I got a shirt in the mail today. It reads, "Make up your own mind. C-SPAN". If only...
Still, an action that should be lauded,so it will serve as an inspiration to others elected Ds.
Feeling pressure to act after Cory Booker.
It's April 7th. ...IDIOT.
I'm not arguing, I'm trying to understand these electeds.
Think like a member of the "French Resistance" and resist, resist, resist.
Do you not know how the Senate works?
But that only happened *because Republicans controlled the Senate*.
If Dems controlled the Senate, well, they could do the same.
Hold on
Make a deal with sufficient GOP lawmakers, such that they would help remove the current executive department, in return for them not being burned at the stake at a later date.
America deserves better
Now the MAGA nazis want him lynched.
