Wait. Is that outline of a backbone I see on those three Senators? Let's see if they actually use them ... 👀

michaelanes.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yes, exactly. I'll believe it when I see it.

empirical62.bsky.social•62 days ago

True, but in these moments where there is a crack of light shining through we must use these moments to embrace them and go in and share truth with them and tell them to join us to fight authoritarian rule. Remind them of their oath and that we can work together to root them out to preserve freedom.

xicanodekcenmke.bsky.social•62 days ago

Oh, I agree 💯. My wish for all members of the House & the Senate is for them to exert their standing as a co-equal branch of the federal government. Most of them - mainly the GOP members - are simply abdicating this role. How can we encourage them all? Perhaps these three are a good place to start?

kindler.bsky.social•63 days ago

The bar has gotten so law that we’re relieved to hear Republicans say that they are not willing to *completely* blow up our 250-year-old system of checks and balances.

rankxiii.bsky.social•63 days ago

Perhaps, but we should still be interested in that material reality. It can ALWAYS get worse, so don't lose hope and keep trying whatever you think will be most effective. This effort to push back will be through a combination of tactics.

mandycammy.bsky.social•63 days ago

That sliver of hope is what I need right now.The little voice in my head begging and pleading for somebody, anybody, to put an end to this menacing behavior.Dems need three Repubs to join them and throw a wrench in their barrage of misdeeds.Keep up the pressure on your R leaders.The world needs you

myonlyneuron.bsky.social•63 days ago

But will they stand up and support those judicial orders by voting to uphold those orders when it comes down to it?

empirical62.bsky.social•62 days ago

Let's keep up the pressure.

Credulous. Their disingenuous mouth-farts are just cover. Part of the fascist propaganda game is checking growing with soothing rhetoric from some quarters to demotivate resistance. This feeds the fascist collaborator media and its collaborator bobbleheads something to "debate" to sow confusion.

fairorchard.bsky.social•63 days ago

What are they going to do about it?

mitch-sharp-1013.bsky.social•63 days ago

blupotluv.bsky.social•63 days ago

The bookies in Vegas are taking bets on how long before Grassley, Thune, and Rounds will cave

petticoatdespot.bsky.social•63 days ago

I like where one says that no one is suggesting that court orders not he followed, when courts are already calling Trump on not following them.

auntmarilee.bsky.social•63 days ago

Hawley too! He’s quoted in that abc article.

cadesigns1212.bsky.social•63 days ago

Republicans historically like their constitution

crs1.bsky.social•63 days ago

Republicans historically like money and not being doxxed to rabid MAGA cultists more than "ideas" or "concepts" like "rule of law"

cadesigns1212.bsky.social•63 days ago

That too

careygister.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yes!

cascada57.bsky.social•62 days ago

wow, can't believe they took a stand of any kind

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•62 days ago

This is probably not true, as we know that Grassley, supposedly a big defender of Inspectors General, sent a very mild letter re Trump's firing of the IGs last week or hte week before

clewis.bsky.social•63 days ago

Talk's cheap. What are they prepared to *do*?

ariellaelm.bsky.social•63 days ago

Sounds like there constituents have some calling to do

winterwarpath.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yep! If everyone who said "My senator is a republican, what can I do?" Was waiting... here's what they can do!

chrisbyc.bsky.social•62 days ago

Wow! THREE Senators!!! 🙄

ariellaelm.bsky.social•62 days ago

Five. and every single person matters because DT isn’t listening to our voices but he is listening to theirs. We need to pay attention to what happens after this not necessarily what they do but what DT does is he still talking about not following court orders

thedenature.bsky.social•62 days ago

Ok, but what will they actually DO about it, other than mutter disapproval?

madmaymermaid.bsky.social•62 days ago

Exactly! Thune is the majority leader of the Senate. Sadly every correspondence I’ve had with his office has indicated he’s fully in support of whatever Felon 47 is doing. Will they gain a backbone before the Executive has totally neutered Congress? Doubtful.

josephebacon.bsky.social•63 days ago

All THE GRSSHOLE, Thune and Rounds are doing is bullshitting. They won't lift a finger to stop what Trump's doing because they are all in with destroying as much of the government as possible.

sabler.bsky.social•63 days ago

Look! Signs of spines!

chris-lee-cal.bsky.social•62 days ago

So at least SOME Republican Senators are actually against ending checks and balances and destroying our Constitutional Republic?

Cool.

driretlan.rocks•63 days ago

Kinda supports my theory that we have a "Weekend at Grassley's" thing happening

sobrienmusic.bsky.social•63 days ago

then let's see them standup and oppose these Fascist cunts, instead of being merely "troubled" like that idiot Collins...

sharonringel.bsky.social•62 days ago

Watch what they do, not what they say. Don’t fall for the okie doke.

ariellaelm.bsky.social•62 days ago

Here’s a thing what they say, affects what others do. If it’s just DT saying something that’s one thing but if what they say means that we don’t hear any more talk of not listening to judicial rulings then they are also doing something behind-the-scenes

pecan7.bsky.social•63 days ago

How many Republicans have said this now? Hawley too, right?

ztopia.bsky.social•63 days ago

Oh dear. That snake will flip with a cool breeze.

daves211.bsky.social•63 days ago

The pussies in the GOP can hide behind the robes. These assholes should have spoken up on day one, and they should be speaking up now.

These pussies just don't have the courage to honor their oaths. I guarantee they won't do or say anything when trump continues to defy the courts.

winterwarpath.bsky.social•63 days ago

Oops accidentally pinged u in your own post lol sleepy

bmcaymanian.algo.xyz•63 days ago

They packed the court with unqualified judges, now Trump and musk are going to throw their life’s work away. Shame.

soverynotcalm.bsky.social•62 days ago

Of fucking course Grassley approves of this shit. God forbid you don’t respond to his blathering letters but sure ignore the ruling of a coequal branch of power

badkittee.bsky.social•62 days ago

But they won’t do anything

breadthieves.bsky.social•63 days ago

Drip, drip, drip..........flood!!!

rgh1205.bsky.social•63 days ago

That is so reassuring. I will not hold my breath to see whether they will act on it with their anti-Constitutional Fuhrer and his puppet master.

kat5501.bsky.social•63 days ago

Actions speak louder than words. If the lips of a member of the cult are moving, they are lying!!

gockomo.bsky.social•62 days ago

I'm confused. Where did this minimal courage come from. More of this please!

matthematics.com•63 days ago

BREAKING: Republican fingers set to join Democratic fingers wagging impotently at Trump, Musk

2plus2equals.bsky.social•63 days ago

Only need 3 to do that consistently before it becomes a very real threat.

The Mumps know that they’re only going to get away with this as long as Congress looks the other way.

dontinnovate.bsky.social•62 days ago

But, will they actually vote that way? Switch parties to force the issue? Words from them are cheap

suzylaineoc.bsky.social•63 days ago

Grassley, Thune, Rounds and more should be worried. If this coup does not work, you will pay big time. Hey guys, is Trump really worth it to you??? The people will come for you! We will not forget.

natlaowai.bsky.social•63 days ago

What are they going to do if the admin does not?

Best news I’ve heard all day

mastermarx.bsky.social•63 days ago

I mean, if we aren’t going to follow the law can we release Luigi already? Man’s clearly got more work to do.

1moreday.bsky.social•63 days ago

Going to call my senators (both are republicans) and ask them to do the same. “If they dare!” And list court orders being ignored or violated.
