OMG EXPOSURE!!

Whatever will Trump do!!! You’ve EXPOSED him!

Let me get my fainting couch.

basterdius.bsky.social•18 days ago

Focus Chuck! They can pass anything they want. It doesn't matter if the Democrats keep letting him do whatever he wants, Trump will not follow the law anyways . He just said today that only him can say what the law is. Jesus Christ. You are one thick SOB.

jasongeorgebalt.bsky.social•18 days ago

I appreciate this but it is not enough. We are in the process of a coup and you need to take every possible step to shut the government down.

les-1.bsky.social•18 days ago

You people are doing NOTHING. Nothing at all. You don’t fight, you don’t bring anything solid to the table wtf is wrong with you?

appletarts.bsky.social•18 days ago

Republicans control all three branches. What you like to have happen?

les-1.bsky.social•18 days ago

And who is stopping Trump from joining Putin in an alliance to drill in the Arctic?

appletarts.bsky.social•18 days ago

No one. That is the point of Republicans controlling all branches. We only have the legal systems and pressuring Republicans.

appletarts.bsky.social•18 days ago

No one is stopping Trump from putting Religion in our schools. No one is stopping Trump from going into Ukraine with Putin. No one is stopping Trump with anything because we had 80 million non voters and 73 million Trump voters saying this is what they wanted.

les-1.bsky.social•18 days ago

Here’s an article about what the judge stated in the latest denial https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna192708

les-1.bsky.social•18 days ago

Oh I know. I’ve been railing about that. 1/3 max of the voters calling the shots and less than 1/4 of the population is calling the shots

les-1.bsky.social•18 days ago

Hold town halls, rally the grassroots, bring solid suits to judges so they can make a decision that is bolstered with evidence and so on

appletarts.bsky.social•18 days ago

So lawsuits are being filed. Town halls are being held and they are letting us know what is happening. So maybe start pressuring Republicans to stand against what is going on?

les-1.bsky.social•18 days ago

I already do that. I’ve been calling.

appletarts.bsky.social•18 days ago

Awesome

Yes and how many have flimsy arguments that are going to get tossed. They just tossed a big one today. Flimsy case. Why are these people drafting flimsy complaints. Meanwhile Trump is committing crimes with Elon and violating the constitution all over the earth

appletarts.bsky.social•18 days ago

Which ones aren’t flimsy?

Then why even show up at all? What’s the point of being there for the proceedings if Republicans have complete control?

appletarts.bsky.social•18 days ago

To Delay

sthelen.bsky.social•17 days ago

Then why are they providing unanimous consent to proceedings?

les-1.bsky.social•17 days ago

Who is? I only saw a 3 day weekend approval

oddman.bsky.social•18 days ago

Don’t worry, the parliamentarian will stop this dastardly plow!

narcoticisland.bsky.social•18 days ago

And then do what?

donellgmab.bsky.social•18 days ago

Today's executive order.
The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations.

inlaidanchor.bsky.social•18 days ago

Then what?

trainboy.nyc•18 days ago

Deny. Unanimous. Consent. You. Dullard.

melissamctastic.bsky.social•18 days ago

This. McConnell did it now it’s our turn.

trainboy.nyc•18 days ago

If Tommy Tuberville can hold up COL raises for generals, IDK why Chuck Schumer can't hold up his pants without a belt and suspenders.

geeklingcreations.bsky.social•18 days ago

you are also feckless

xena3.bsky.social•18 days ago

Are you powerless?!
Stop this fascist clown show now, Chuck. Do whatever it takes, please.

frozzbot.bsky.social•18 days ago

Try to remember there are actual fascists on the other side of the aisle. At some point you may want to expose that fact.

speshul.bsky.social•18 days ago

"my colleague and good friend from across the aisle"

omegamom.bsky.social•18 days ago

Uh, what about Trump signing an EO that says the president is the final authority about the law? What about DOGE firing the Nuclear Security folks, then wanting to rehire them, but unable to do so because no contact info? What about USDA bird flu experts being fired? 1/

omegamom.bsky.social•18 days ago

Chuck, let them screw up the reconciliation, then say, over and over, the GOP did this, the GOP screwed you. Don’t you think we have some other IMPORTANT things to worry about?!? /end

mervburger.com•18 days ago

so are you going to like, actually seriously fight against this, or are you going to fight more to give yourself a fucking three day weekend whenever possible?

Maybe you know some folks that can slow the roll???

lilymarswrites.bsky.social•18 days ago

WE ARE JUST SPITBALLING HERE, CHUCK.

aafror.bsky.social•18 days ago

Once again I ask, will the dems use the rules of the senate to prevent this from going forward? The executive is making a mockery of Congress and yet decorum remains the priority. Or is it something more? Because it sure looks like passive complicity at this point.

wildstarryskies.bsky.social•18 days ago

What rules?

Spell it out, what can the dems do?

aafror.bsky.social•18 days ago

bluenatalee.bsky.social•18 days ago

Do something!!!

jneene.bsky.social•18 days ago

We all know what a fraud the GOP budget is. We don’t need you to expose it we need you to stop it. And stop the destruction and massive data privacy violation being wrought by Musk. Please tell us your plan for that.

kristykowalski.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yes, AND…

riotsquirrel.bsky.social•18 days ago

I get $5 credit if my Temu package is late. So there’s that.

seemsright.bsky.social•18 days ago

The GOP flat out does not care for the American People. The only answer is to start Recalling every single one of these clowns.

irobotiam.bsky.social•18 days ago

People always overdo the matter when they attempt deception.

genkidesuu.bsky.social•18 days ago

SHUT IT DOWN. We already know it’s awful, no need to “expose” anything. Just shut it the hell down. If you cannot commit to that, please resign.

objectiveoutrage.bsky.social•18 days ago

Deny unanimous consent

have you considered forming a bipartisan committee to study the implications of fucking yourself?

micalmical.bsky.social•18 days ago

Deny them quorum! You are letting them pass laws closing the Department of education! You let them confirm RFK! Deny quorum. Otherwise you are complicit. #denyquorum

speshul.bsky.social•18 days ago

Don't forget to reach out to Chuck Schumer directly and let him know what we all think of his social media team, and what you think of his performance so far

PLEASE DONT CAVE

crystalpepsi.bsky.social•18 days ago

Hey Charlie why are you still allowing unanimous consent.

zerophcksgiven.bsky.social•18 days ago

dont ya know that your Minority Leader NOT Minority LOSER?? Start leading ffs...did you hear, BRAZIL is charging their Coup plotters.the US is now the Fading beacon on the hill because of YOU!!!

herdingphotons.bsky.social•18 days ago

Oh. Expose it for what it is.

Well, that'll certainly teach them a thing or two. I'm sure that they'll run home crying. "Mom! They exposed our plot!"

How about blocking the bill and protecting us? Or exposing the Nazis across the aisle? You *have* thought about it, right?

Right?

cartwheelhegelian.bsky.social•18 days ago

FFS WE KNOW. "Exposing" them does nothing. This IS FASCISM. Step up to the plate or step the fuck down.

lowfeller.bsky.social•18 days ago

What would you do?

cartwheelhegelian.bsky.social•17 days ago

Obstruct everything. No rubber stamps. No decorum. Track the movement of DOGE, relay it to the public. Coordinate with DAs to land them with arrests. Start mapping out people. Collect blackmail on Republicans. Be willing to get carted off to jail if it means stopping or slowing fascism.

cartwheelhegelian.bsky.social•17 days ago

/2 Slow down every process. Introduce time wasting bills to slow Republicans down. Become the most annoying congress person to ever live. ID weak points within congress and monkey wrench like my life depended on it. The options are limitless if you have a spine.

lowfeller.bsky.social•17 days ago

I see. So a lot of panicked, scattershot, disconnected things then. Ok. Good luck.

cartwheelhegelian.bsky.social•17 days ago

The main theme would be obstructionism, but if I turn out to education because there's fascists outside, I'm getting into the building. And I'd be letting every organized person, gun owning and otherwise know where to show. I'd probably turn over a lot of the rest of that to staff.

tprophet.bsky.social•18 days ago

You guys could filibuster it. Instead, you'll just whine a lot, raise money on your whining and let the bill pass. The reality is that you work for the same billionaires as the Republicans, so you have no reason to fight. Resign, and let the next generation start to clean up the mess you left us.

jackscarab.bsky.social•18 days ago

Cool. Do that. And then do something else to actually stop them.

strivingally.bsky.social•18 days ago

Oh my gosh that sounds serious. Thanks for letting us know!

lilymarswrites.bsky.social•18 days ago

Thanks for sharing. I hope you had a nice four-day Unanimous Consent Day weekend!

civicsforall.bsky.social•18 days ago

Then you better explain it better - and simpler! Most people have no idea what "reconciliation" is. Dems need to simplify, unify and repeat, repeat, repeat a FEW CORE MESSAGES!!

modcon2.bsky.social•18 days ago

STOP THEM IN THEIR TRACKS.

rewhan.bsky.social•18 days ago

The president just declared himself above the law, Chuck - maybe give some kind of indication you're taking that seriously?

stu-gots.bsky.social•18 days ago

Chuck, you are not up to it. We have ZERO faith in you. You had a good run. Hand the keys over to someone else. If you don’t, you will run the risk of destroying what’s left of your legacy.

maxtropolitan.bsky.social•18 days ago

call for Eric Adams' removal from office you coward.

coziiiii.bsky.social•18 days ago

You and the senate dems agreed to unanimous consent this afternoon to move forward with Republican business. You know that’s all public right??

ronhogan.bsky.social•18 days ago

And how do we deal with a sinister front in the United States Senate, Chuck?

Do we sit on our asses and skeet about it?

popecorkyix.bsky.social•18 days ago

So you're not giving unanimous consent and you're using every procedural trick in the book to stop it or at least buy more time to expose it, right?
