Senator, do you have insight into what precisely is causing Republicans to completely abdicate their power as the legislature and succumb to this takeover? Are they afraid for their lives? Or just their political positions?

Dems in Congress need to stop tweeting and start taking other actions. Leave the tweeting to us.

If you have to stage sit-ins at the Capital, do it!

Call for protests!

Organize!

Fight!

How do you get 4 GOP senators on board with the fact that trump has gone too far? Will any risk a primary to defend our republic?

laurarc.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think we can help by keeping the pressure on and continuing to call offices. I know both Ohio Senators, so I make a point of calling their offices and leaving very specific messages—ones that remind them of our shared history and that the community is watching 😉

I sure as hell hope you are forming some freedom loving coalitions behind the scenes. https://bylinetimes.com/2025/02/07/silicon-valley-whistleblowers-warn-elon-musk-hijacking-republicans-to-control-entire-us-government/

Senator, please make sure the SAVE act gets filibustered. Voter ID is voter suppression.

Tyrants don't care about popularity, and we are no longer a functioning Democracy.

In a time of kings, democracy was a redistribution of power. In a time of billionaires, unconditional basic income is a redistribution of power. Democracy and UBI support and reinforce each other.

Could an impeachment work?

cld9vineyard.bsky.social•2 days ago

Impeachment. Surly there are some republicans not up for re-election (like Mitch who got us here) who would vote to impeach

Have you tried punching? You should try punching. Punch some people. Hard. And then keep doing it.

Is there any sort of, you know, oversight you guys could perform here or is just posts on social media?

Research & challenge if Trump Executive Orders are legal. An Executive Order is a directive by POTUS & subject to judicial review. 1st stack was put on desk&signed were written B-4 he was POTUS. Who is writing & reviewing them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_order#:~:text=The%20ability%20to%20make%20such,being%20issued%20by%20the%20president.

He declared himself king and you agreed to unanimous consent four times in two days to speed along his nominees. Do you oppose him or not?

Except we aren't a functioning democracy because we ARE allowing it.

Bye Bye America. It is ruined. The republicans have trump the power to destroy our institutions and country. Ruined.

We support you in resisting Rep agenda! They are not proposing bipartisan budget; there is no need to offer bipartisan support. Worse, they are hamstringing Congress during Trump's illegal power grab.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Please convince some of your republican colleagues that they are being used and will become powerless and irrelevant if he
succeeds. He has shown himself to be untrustworthy and once he doesn’t need them he will turn on them too.

If you stand with Chris Murphy repost this. It’s time America; we’re losing too much to wait. If “We the People” don’t act now America, the Beautiful will become a morally bankrupt wasteland. Wake up!

Time to stop calling them billionaires.

Call them TRAITORS.

Traitors to our Allies.

Traitors to our Constitution.

Traitors to our Nation.

Traitors to legacies of Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, and every other President who put country above self.

Domestic Enemies, every single Republican 🇺🇲

toxik56.bsky.social•2 days ago

The idea is to destroy it. It’s working. You and your colleagues need to stop it! You all need to be screaming endlessly. We also need leadership to spearhead mass strikes and boycotts.

upwardfalling13.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hear your anger, but what do you plan to do about it?

I have an idea based on Tim Snyder’s ideas about a “shadow cabinet”. Would like to hear it? If so, DM me.

misterdave.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are not acting like people who think there will ever be another election. You guys need to start planning for how you're going to deal with that right now.

#VoicesofCongress Cut your sound bites down to 30 seconds. Use plain language. Try two or three short concise sentences that speak the message. Get some speech writers that can help you. America's attention span has shortened over the years. We pay less attention to crap. Make your words count. 💪🇺🇲🤓

Please, somewhere deep in Sochi is a countdown clock. Everybody thinks theyre going to be the co-king except the king.

3 republicans in each house.
- Stay in NATO
- Kick Putin out of Ukraine & W. Europe
- Dont occupy and become developers in the mideast.
- Dont invade canada or
- Save Taiwan

He’s got over 1M on X too, but his comments section breaks my heart. Lots of bots, lots of cruelty and abuse. I go to battle in the comments there with my shadow account when I can to provide access to a sane counter-viewpoint. Civil discourse and basic empathy feel almost nonexistent for Dems there

You people in Congress and the Senate better f-ing do something a lot more drastic than posting on Bluesky and Twitter. You guys need to call in Rick Wilson or someone like him to show you how to fight. JFC. We are now a part of the new Axis of Evil with fucking Putin!!!

mrhimbo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Senator, what are you doing about it? We need to see you walking across the aisle and having these conversations in good faith with your R counterparts. They are acquiescing every single thing trump does, and its terrifying to see such blatant sycophantic behavior.

camerondurham.bsky.social•2 days ago

Right. If they had the votes for it, they’d do it that way.But they don’t have the votes, so coup it is

civil4liberties.bsky.social•2 days ago

Citizens think “no MAGA wouldn’t do things to deliberately hurt the economy, or
stock market”. Really? Elon warned us there will be economic pain. So did trump. This is part of their plan. MAGA wants us poor. They don’t want agencies that can fight back at them (MAGA.)

afterophelia.bsky.social•2 days ago

I appreciate your fight. Would be nice if you could get some Republican colleagues to recognize out loud how insane this all is. Privately, they must know

Trump is not King, and Musk works for China. The Russian influence on both doesn’t seem to matter anymore, but have we surrendered to China too?

afterophelia.bsky.social•2 days ago

If they don’t care about selling out Ukraine, or aligning America with despots if it serves person business interests, and they don’t care about him granting himself the exclusive right to declare what the law is — surely they care about the explicit deal Musk clearly has with China?….

afterophelia.bsky.social•2 days ago

Steve Bannon knows. Musk knows he knows, and Bannon might be the only one who scares him.

MAGA still listens to Bannon. Trump still listens to him… you gotta get Repubs to see Musk can be dealt with

Musk has said Bannon’s name 3 times in 7 years. If you know Musk’s usual style, you sense the fear

Just bend over and let him do what he wants. Just like your colleagues.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Thanks for speaking up passionately. Saw J Crockett on a show yesterday stating that dems should have regular press conferences. It was compared to Cuomo's briefings on Covid vs trumps' lies. Excellent idea and recommended by authoritarian experts.

Somehow it feels darker than a pure power and money grab.

saltyaltruist.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why isn't the DNC pouring everything - words and $$$ - into the 3 upcoming special elections?

Support Gedebien, Valimont & Weil!
