Shocker- Trump’s nominee for treasury secretary is an alleged tax dodger. @wyden.senate.gov passing around a memo with details. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

We need fighters in the democrat party not lip service. Maybe remind Fetterman it was democrat voters that got him elected even after his stroke not republicans.

Wyden passing around a memo, but incapable of doing anything.

jeannels.bsky.social•100 days ago

Hey Senate Democrats:
Don’t tell us you are going to be the bulwark against authoritarianism and then help pass a bill that ushers that in. 64-35 isn’t resisting.

samhendricks10.bsky.social•100 days ago

So what are you going to do????

popeye2.bsky.social•100 days ago

Anything less than 100% opposition at all times is unacceptable. Vote no on everything and every nominee.

pnwsteph.bsky.social•100 days ago

Do you have a plan to fight back? So far I'm not seeing any plan here. Are the Dems just going to rollover and let this happen?

carmenyayapdx.bsky.social•100 days ago

Come ask in person if you can! Bring your friends and neighbors! https://www.merkley.senate.gov/merkley-announces-first-town-halls-of-2025/

Thanks so much for sending! Will definitely be attending when he has one closer to where I live.

gem-charlene.bsky.social•100 days ago

Resist! It's all we can do right now.

Thank you, Sen. Wyden

Thanks for the update, we know leopards will be eating our faces. Because you and the rest of congress and justice have allowed an insurrection.

chrisatchs.bsky.social•100 days ago

Time to fight back

monafran11325.bsky.social•100 days ago

Thanks for pointing this out Ron.

Here we have a millionaire senator of Oregon. That's mainly a grifter that doesn't even live in Oregon. His wife and children live in New York City. He's lecturing us. Ron would probably be happy if he stuck in extremely poor person that's never done anything in his life as a treasury secretary

nemeoresunborne.bsky.social•100 days ago

Arresting him would be a good start, no?

kjt1212.bsky.social•100 days ago

Senator Wyden, I have the upmost respect for you as your constituent. This is not time for polite politics reaching across the aisle. Please realize, the guardrails are off! Our Democracy has been broken by greedy people who cheat. Fight fire with fire.

edgelife.bsky.social•100 days ago

I think Ron is right up there with the rest of those people that are cheating that you're talking about.

kat-n-srq.bsky.social•99 days ago

Saw your segment on Amanpour. Realize you're seated against a cadre whose leadership operates via reactive nihilism. Now ask why there are so many foreign fingers in the WH backing Trump.

elaine14360.bsky.social•98 days ago

What is your plan to preserve this country Senator? We want to see plans carried out. Not just articles.

demsrock.bsky.social•100 days ago

Get a new minority leader. Dems are fed up with “bipartisanship” bs. Learn the word “no” and use it liberally. We need fighters, not collaborators.
Get your butts out there today. Hold a press conference. Demand a vote to condemn the freeing of violent offenders who beat the police officers.

orionjack.bsky.social•100 days ago

Why are you allowing unanimous consent on any of these nominees?
