@schumer.senate.gov better use every procedural delay possible to stall these nominees!

cgblue.bsky.social•20 days ago

That's a start. They all need to vote NAY on every fucking bill, bar none.

No. No. No. No. No.

If Republicans can bring the Government to a halt, dems can too, if they want to get re-elected

jholston.bsky.social•20 days ago

Fine same for every nominee from here out. The American experiment is in its death bed.

ianrobo.bsky.social•20 days ago

even Fetterman has seen the light ?

blandphilosophy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Fetterman's an asshole but he does vote Democrat well over 90% of the time. He's just not the progressive he pretended to be when he ran.

ianrobo.bsky.social•20 days ago

nope but the then bent the knee and looks like realised that was stupid !

Came here to ask the same thing...

coreyastewart.bsky.social•20 days ago

They should have been doing this with ALL of them.

He’s Himmler

matthewsp.bsky.social•20 days ago

Good. Now take the same stance on all of Trump's remaining nominees. Every. Single. One.

timdniles.bsky.social•20 days ago

too bad so many dems voted for Scott Bessent and one of the first actions he took was to give our SS Numbers over to Musk.
How is that working out @gallego.senate.gov

fortheglory.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not for nothing, but there are only 45 Democrats in the Senate. King and Sanders are Independents.

ladyviolalloyd1.bsky.social•20 days ago

And every scared, spineless GQP senator will vote yes, and he’ll get through. Same old story. Our country is finished. You think these people are just going to hand over power in four years either? They are already setting it up so they don’t leave. And Trump now has his J6 brown shirts who are his.

Signs of life..

montanahuntress.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes

ptpower.bsky.social•20 days ago

When the nomination fails, he'll be appointed "Acting" Budget Director.

I'm not saying that the Democrats shouldn't vote No, but Trump will get his villain planted one way or the other.

Block and filibuster this Project 25 author and enabler of Elon Musk's government checkbook takeover. @schumer.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov

jenniefields.bsky.social•20 days ago

They should be doing this about every single one of them without even a moment of exception or question. Jesus.

mbou.bsky.social•20 days ago

after much time and consideration the dems have decided to do the absolute minimum

democracy is saved

tylerbigbyrd.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yeah you got John... smfh

lbennet.bsky.social•19 days ago

They should have been “united” long ago- not like no one saw this coming.

glittergeezer.bsky.social•19 days ago

Even @fetterman.senate.gov?

flobby.bsky.social•20 days ago

And I… I would like to announce that I will not be punching my own mom in the face repeatedly until she is nothing more than a puddle of unidentifiable moisture. I am now accepting praise at this time. Also checks.
