"Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief." - Chris Murphy (read his summary below)

Impeachment. Focus there please. The country is on fire NOW. 2028 is the least of our worries. Be clear eyed and steady about what this really is.

Thank you! Keep getting loud, keep bringing it up, keep doing all you can to get them out of power and put the GOP on record as harming their constituents. Be disruptive!

How about you guys focus on TODAY, YEAR ONE (or year 5 if you prefer). Work on fixing the NOW and stop chasing the distraction bell ringing 4 years down the road. A lot of us won't even be alive by then.

kenparkerlaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good question, Senator. Possibly because they are afraid to go on record voting against Trump?

beck-a-boo.bsky.social•5 days ago

He doesn’t like the cut of your jib?

salemcatlady.bsky.social•5 days ago

Said he wasn’t joking.

KEEP TRYING! SPEAK LOUDER!

Rick Scott the guy who objected your resolution should be dragged out of the senate kicking and screaming by the capitol police over that.

mcastro375.bsky.social•4 days ago

So true he just wants to be able to keep talking about it

nerdotim.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump has Dementia that's getting worse. He doesn't even read most of what he signs. Not sure he would understand it if he did. Him talking about shipbuilding like we haven't been building ships for years at the State of the Union shows he's lost something. The look on Johnsons face said it all!

mememe2419.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because they are unsure what he wants or will do and they are afraid.

jenfriesarts.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's because they don't care if he's eligible or not. Consider the "other methods" he hinted at. He will declare a fake emergency & suspend the Constitution. Mark my words. He won't need to be eligible for a 3rd term if his 2nd term never ends. The GOP are 100% on board with such a plan.

jenfriesarts.bsky.social•5 days ago

I mean, ffs, Maga Mike Johnson in the House just declared that yesterday will never end just to prevent an inconvenient measure from taking automatic effect. Do you think they'll have a problem with Trump literally crowning himself our literal king whenever he likes?

A blue butterfly indicates that the Senator has a Bluesky share button prominently on their government website. It's important! Please, Senator Warren and Senator Markey, keep up with the times!

7kats.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well if he's eligible third term then so is Barack Obama and I would looking forward to seeing him back in the White House

robsco69.bsky.social•5 days ago

Gee, I fucking Wonder

You know if somebody could convince the lobbyists who own the Republican Congress (and most of the Democrats) that this needs to stop, I think the Republicans would fall in line.

merri24.bsky.social•4 days ago

He’s not joking. They don’t plan on conceding power at any time, regardless of elections. If you read project 2025 and look at phase 2, that’s what they’ll do.

rustyfrog.bsky.social•3 days ago

Mutineers in the ranks, and at the Helm ----- just remember how dumb, and inadequate they are at everything ( except , they all participate in voting ). THEY couldn't t even hang Mike Pence .

….because they are not joking

And Senators need to act like America is dying on your watch

Because he said he's not joking

maxwelltomato.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump's path to a third term has been outlined numerous times .
That's why you introduced that resolution , you know he can, and you're scared.

Why do you need to 'reaffirm' the Constitution? It's the freakin' Constitution! That's all needs be said!

mabel-max.bsky.social•3 days ago

You guys better put your heads together & figure out how to stop him. He needs to be put on trial for TREASON!

jessistired.bsky.social•5 days ago

I mean. He said we'll never have to vote again. The "LOL calm down he didn't mean it" responses were gaslighting. We need to find a good candidate NOW.

beacape85.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you Senator

Here's my question: Why did you vote to confirm Rubio?

belovedchristmas.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's a fair question.. however, can we focus on all the good he's done since then?
It's done. No point rehashing it now. He's made better choices since. One of the worst traps we fall into is picking apart our own because of one or two bad decisions they made. He did good today; boost him up.

waterfall.bsky.social•20 hours ago

No, he didn't.They continue to try to pass this and that, knowing it will never go through.Just a dust in the eyes of his voters.Nothing meaningful, no strategy, no idea what to do. May be at this age, people need to retire and let younger generation to take over.May be 20 terms are enough ...

donigula.bsky.social•5 days ago

Where's your 24 hour protest, btw? Was Booker all we get?

donigula.bsky.social•5 days ago

We need better. We need him charged with treason. We need his enablers charged with treason. We need him and his enables charged with espionage, sedition, and terrorism.

No joke.

jerseygirl1999.bsky.social•5 days ago
