In case you missed it with everything else going on: yesterday Senate Republicans voted to bring back overdraft fees. Everything Republicans do is to make corporations and banks richer at your expense.

WHAT must they do to cause a mass revolt? WHEN will the gullible, incurious shit-swallowers become WOKE citizens? I hope I live long enough to see our 2nd revolution.
I have an action plan posted under my Bluesky name. Please check it out and share with your coworkers. I’d like to know your opinions as to how I can make the plan better. Send me a DM when you’re ready.
It’s obvious that republicans represent the wealthy and corporations not their constituents who sent them to congress!
I think it’s time for Republican voters to open their eyes to the lies they have been told!
Hey how about encouraging someone in the House to start impeachment proceedings against every person involved in Signalgate and then the Senate can do their jobs? Bank overdraft fees suck, but what sucks more is Democrat politicians doing fuck-all to take the fight to these bastards.
The foundations of democracy feel increasingly precarious, not under siege from tanks in the streets, but from something perhaps more insidious: a 'slow strangulation' conducted from within. Across the democratic world, norms erode,
Cool so what’s Leader @schumer.senate.gov plan for handling this? How will he slow, delay, or impede the republicans ability to push stuff like this through? OR is he continuing to operate BAU? All I hear is how bad republicans are (they are) but I never hear how you are fighting them. #ChuckMustGo
No offense @wyden.senate.gov , you and your colleagues should’ve brought more attention to this vote before it occurred so that constituents could call their senators and voice concern.
No one wants to pay these junk fees. You guys failed at keeping people informed this was happening
I fail to understand why many Americans keep voting against themselves. This was one of the many good things Biden did for the average American. This, coupled with lowering drug prices for seniors on Medicare for drugs like insulin were fantastic breakthroughs for Americans. Undone now.
This is what one gets when one listens to cultural dog-whistling and votes against one’s own best interests.
At some point real pain is the only remedy available,
The cultural and mental degradation is too far gone to be saved without significant consequence.
Stupid does as stupid is !!!
Remember when you did nothing to replace Schumer despite his plunging popularity and his complete failure to be a leader. Or remember when you voted to confirm a secy of state who is pro-kidnapping people off the streets. Everything you do also helps consolidate their power.
When do we become great?
With the crippling & dismantling of Social Security, what impact on adding homeless to our sidewalks with sickly Elderly with no means of food or meds?
Trump and Musk have declared war on the working class and almost every nation in the world. Trump claims America will be rich beyond its wildest dreams but in reality on the top 1% will benefit from this. Trump literally hates America but yet they absolutely love him. His fans don’t mind eating dirt
Senator, at what point will you feel comfortable saying that this regime is aiming for dictatorship? When will you use your voice to help the masses organize militias of the people and do what needs to be done? Is this shocking to you? Because if it is, a cowards heart beats in your chest.
The transition to a dictatorship is fast approaching. They are following project 2025, and the transition will be complete after 180 days. We need to do something SOON!
Ma'am, you let me know where and when. Right now it seems like I'm screaming into the void. But I'm not. I'm looking for allies. I'm willing to take this off the internet and into the streets. The streets WE own, WE live on, and WE pay for with our taxes. This is our country. Not theirs.
These forces are already eating from the table of hard working Americans by issuing fines they can't pay and forcing them into prison, modern day concentration camps for forced labor
I made a comment back in the late 2000s/early 2010s that people needed to start voting for their own best interest. 2 libertarian/GOP voting service worker idiots I knew responded with why?
I didn't bother after that They wouldn't listen These 2 also think corps shouldn't pay taxes
White conservative voters have been voting outside their own interest for generations. You can trace it back to the 1860s when 10% of property owners w/slaves got the 90% who didn't to fight for them. Those states have been conservative since before the country's founding.
Federally you mean. You see, I don’t live in a shithole state like Texas. Oregon has a higher minimum wage than much of Europe, parental leave, women’s rights, mandatory sick time, a state health plan.
Also, parts of EU aren’t so great. The Netherlands has a right wing govt as does Italy.
Federal trumps states unless the state toes the federal line. Which states like Texas and every other for CSA is doing.
The rural areas of your state are just as shitty to people as Texas is. Ignore that fact will ya. Your urban can keep them from being a majority is the difference.
It's been my experience that "contrarians" aren't for or against anything, they just seem to oppose whatever the popular position may be on any issue. I don't see much independent thought involved in consistently going against the grain just for the sake of being anti everything.
3 part plan: 1. Blue states exercise state constitutions to impeach, recall or remove him from office (if Congress abrogates their art 1 power, states must fill void) 2. Blue states use removal as legal basis to stop funding federal govt 3. Blue states form compacts for joint security and safety
because unlike taxation, this is just TAKING MONEY FOR NOT HAVING MONEY as opposed to taxing 'em and making something useful out of it...like health care.
I see what you and others are doing and appreciate it. I am also underwhelmed by the level of organization that I, an average person, is seeing from the Dem party. UNIFY and ORGANIZE others on power around stopping this and aligning with a new vision for our country!
ALL Elected Officials Should Be Required to Wear Jumpsuits With ALL of Their DONORS Logos on them,
JUST LIKE NASCAR
So At Least We The People Will Know Whose BOUGHT & PAID FOR & BY WHOM
the corrupt clown car regime, with their spineless dopes in Congress, is making sure their billionaire bank buddies maximize their bonuses by ramping bank fees up to their maximum level - at YOUR expense
Biden, in capping bank fees, was on YOUR side. trump/musk are NOT
Seems to me the proper response to everything they do would be for you and our other adult leaders to make some videos instructing the public how to stop paying tax.
Why shouldwe give them any money, from now on?
I would like a response to this.
We have bigger fish to fry. He is threatening other countries with takeovers, and has led to our humiliation, financial hits, and fear for all countries. STOP HIM NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!!
It's true that Senate Republicans recently voted to bring back overdraft fees, a move that primarily benefits corporations and banks at the expense of ordinary consumers. This decision highlights the Republican party's tendency to prioritize the interests of businesses over the needs of the public.
You could have ground the vote to a halt by denying unanimous consent. But you chose not too. Weird when Dems fail to do everything in their power to stop a garbage bill, then when it passes run to socials to tell us how bad the bill is. So fuck you too Senator.
Total bullshit. When is everybody going to wake up to the fact that Maga is trying to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY? Breaking every institution, putting incompetent people in positions of authority, ruin education, destroy SS, Medicare & Medicaid, ignore law, destroying clean air and water standards…
And these fees are totally targeted at MAGA America. Right out of their pockets and into Big Banking and their investors. That's why they back trump and gave him tons of money...
Okay, so checks and balances no longer means that the branches of government are keeping democracy viable. Totally different interpretation being put into play here! The rich get richer and screw the working poor! The poor get poorer.
Have you ever played a game of Monopoly? Do you know what happens when the bank runs out of money? Just write down the amount on a piece of paper. Keep rolling the dice like nothing happened.

Thank you,

Clearly the same kind of fools who believe in trickle down economics believe that businesses should be able to screw consumers

they're usually nice enough to reverse it, but that's already too high

Like this.
Wins the game. Wells Fargo, looking at you…
But, no one in congress seems to care about war crimes.
It's puzzling.
I didn't bother after that They wouldn't listen These 2 also think corps shouldn't pay taxes
Left messaging has the burden of precision and appealing to more than immediate self interest
It’s not unique to America but having broader social programs like Canada and EU makes it harder for conservatives to exploit division
The last group of mass immigration from Europe happened in the 1990s after the Iron Wall fell across eastern Europe and the fighting that caused.
America has been falling behind EU for decades.
Also, parts of EU aren’t so great. The Netherlands has a right wing govt as does Italy.
The rural areas of your state are just as shitty to people as Texas is. Ignore that fact will ya. Your urban can keep them from being a majority is the difference.
We have no representation.
Oh, also they don't like brown people, children and women, just like me.
*please understand sarcasm
In The Streets Now
But you have enabled the kidnapping of people on the streets by masked gestapo by voting to confirm lil Marco Rubio.
Fix it now. Overdraft fees are going to be the least of our worries.

And these fees are totally targeted at MAGA America. Right out of their pockets and into Big Banking and their investors. That's why they back trump and gave him tons of money...
...for the chance to FLEECE HIS MAGA VOTERS!
And then I say that realizing that redlining did not make the experience that I had a normal experience for everyone.
I pray for a new way.
This is great trickle down economics guys
Every one of these clowns were voted in either in the 1980s or 1990s.
I was a junior in HS when McConnell was a Freshman Senator.
