My US Senator @amyklobuchar.com continues to vote for Trump’s repulsive nominees. Pathetic.

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army.

And yet....16 Democrats just did so

Fetterman is no longer a Democrat. PA needs to jettison his ass in favor of a REAL Democrat.

billcorbett.bsky.social•4 days ago

Guess @amyklobuchar.com still desperately wants to be seen as *bipartisan* in her eagerness to support fascists and their corporate sponsors. ‘Cause she craves that same corporate $$. We see you, Senator! We see what you value.

jasongrvin.bsky.social•4 days ago

Let's not be too mean here. She did step up and handle that super important legislation to *shuffles papers* make the bald eagle the official national bird.

Cause in these dark times it's nice to not have to struggle with that age old question of "What is our national bird, anyway?"

commodoreperry.bsky.social•4 days ago

One small microscopic relief to see NJ on the Nay list.

vance.bsky.social•4 days ago

She wants to make sure it's not a hollow thrill, her eating a bald eagle.

With a comb.

jasongrvin.bsky.social•4 days ago

Will she invite RFK Jr. over, do you think?

billcorbett.bsky.social•4 days ago

Our other Senator @smith.senate.gov has been much better at meeting the moment! She’s never been a radical but seems to understand the reality right now. Unfortunately she’s retiring. Though that may have made her braver (see: calling Musk a dick boss; increasingly pro-worker statements).

audreyii.bsky.social•4 days ago

The fire came after her announced retirement. I'm glad she's letting loose now, but let's face it: she only started fighting once she determined there was no political risk.

newskull.bsky.social•4 days ago

If knowing this is your last term is what lets her actually take swings like that I don't think anybody should ever get a second one.

thelibraryces.bsky.social•4 days ago

Bennet and Hickenlooper are the same. Absolute cowards.

horizontalhold.bsky.social•4 days ago

This could be that she’s working with Durbin and Graham to revive KOSA.

engy5150.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes we sure see her in her new 6 year term too… ugh

Love you more and more, Bill. Keep making noise!

bluntzkrieg420.bsky.social•4 days ago

She's been disappointing for so long now, hopefully this helps get a good primary challenger

chrisvrennashairdo.bsky.social•4 days ago

These senators need to wake up to the fact, that BIDEN'S BIPARTISAN BULLSHIT IS NOT WHAT AMERICANS WANT! We want the other side to have it stuck to them, and the sooner they realize this. The better the democrats will be, and their donors will finally get engaged again.

adorasidhe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can't wait to get there so I can vote for her primary chalmenger

undrewsual.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well that’s 16 senators who need to be primaried.

russet-burbank.bsky.social•4 days ago

All Dems need to be primaried. If they're worth a damn, they can handle it.

superba.bsky.social•4 days ago

No bipartisanship with fascists @amyklobuchar.com

firebunicorn.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's disgusting and a betrayal 🤬

nerdytextileartist.bsky.social•4 days ago

Amy Klobuchar accepted money from AIPAC. She clearly values colonialism and apartheid.

faithfalkner.com•4 days ago

Unfortunately, I believe this is because @amyklobuchar.com believes she can pigeonhole these actions, having just been re-elected and not facing a challenge for the next six years.

jdhovland.com•4 days ago

I'm working on something for that, bought it at the beginning of February. It will be up and running far before primary season. https://www.amyvotedfortrumpsnoms.com/

hgeditor.bsky.social•4 days ago

I just cannot understand why they choose to do this.

ryanhide.bsky.social•4 days ago

They think (or in cases like Fetterman probably know) there will be a place for them in the dictatorship.

hgeditor.bsky.social•4 days ago

This was really more rhetorical.

Colorado is the only state with a blue shift in the election, and yet its senators, @michaelbennet.bsky.social and Hickenlooper, keep voting in line with Trump. Coloradans will remember that come primary season.

@shaheen.senate.gov and @senmaggiehassan.bsky.social rolling over and allowing this to happen saddens me.

dragqueen.racing•4 days ago

I really don't get it. Their vote does nothing, so why risk pissing off your constituents? Do they think Trump will drop some crumbs for them at some point if they act like good little appeasers?

badjohnbrown.bsky.social•4 days ago

Klobuchar sucks, has always sucked, will always suck.

rulpeterson.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am perpetually baffled by people who say, "I like Amy Klobuchar," who are now, belatedly, pivoting to "I like Amy Klobuchar, but...." Why did you "like" her? What was there, ever, to "like"? Smith commands no such fanbase, but has been, from Day 1, exponentially more effective.

rulpeterson.bsky.social•3 days ago

To be clear, these people never provide(d) any substantive reason for "liking" her. It's all "I'd like to have a beer with her" vibes.

vikesfan47.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m sooooo sick of these weak ass Democrats! We have like 5 good ones! Sick of them being the paid opposition

lazye.bsky.social•4 days ago

Surprise! She's always sucked.

marcmcd.bsky.social•4 days ago

Do you ever feel like dems draw straws to decide who will vote with republicans? You know to keep us guessing? I rarely see a recidivist pattern (Merchan and maybe Fetterman come to mind) but the dems seem to constantly cross the aisle for GOP bills/appointments.

ttrioxin245.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wasn’t she out in front of the VA a week ago complaining?

davidmckinney59.bsky.social•4 days ago

Replace her with Al Franken, Minnesota!

kdiggity8.bsky.social•4 days ago

She's been quite disappointing as of late (understatement). I'm not sure what happened.

ferretface.bsky.social•4 days ago

I hate the idea as much as you, but to be clear, was this just a vote to end debate and get to the actual voting?

queerjoan.bsky.social•3 days ago

In Seattle, a crowd showed up to the federal building on 2/5 to protest, but were instead invited into an audience room by Senator Murray's staff. Cantwell's staff also attended, and they were dragged over the coals about her votes, which have started to change. Make them feel your rage, it works!

bullpen-beeswarm.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm not sure what's worse, a Democratic senator wanting bipartisanship with a fascist regime, or where I live, having fascists as my representatives - Jim Jordan, Bernie Moreno, and Jon Husted.
