I don't want their empty words, I want action. "Yeah, that fire sure looks hot, hope somebody puts it out" as they hold the only water hose but do nothing.
Problem is the water hoses are being held by the arsonists. Unless sane Republicans help (if there are any left) there isn't anything they can do but file endless lawsuits. Or assemble some kind of militia.
I'd happily hear that they AT LEAST stopped voting with them. They're state representatives. They control their states. State officers should be arresting elon and his Goon Squad of children next time they try gaining access to their state.
Agree!!! They should ALL speak and DO SOMETHING. Maybe if the democrats had done something, trump would be sitting in courtrooms, prison and not in the White House
Work resumes tomorrow. The Speaker of the House has kept them from working, AFAIK. Musk's been using the weekend lull to gloat and access facilities with next to no impediment.
Rally your representatives. Even if you live in a red state, press upon your elected how this will destroy your community.
I live in one of those Red States and since the djt came down the golden escalator I have written letters, made phone calls & tweeted my concerns to my Representatives & Senators in Congress. They don’t care about us, they care about all the benefits that come with their jobs.
If you're at the point of a constitutional crisis, you better have your butt out on the front lines even on your day off. This is what you signed up for!
"Now is not the time for bipartisanship when the other party is in the process of an authoritarian power grab. I expect you to use every democratic means to slow and resist. Our nation is under attack from the inside out."
"We the people need you to keep Elon Musk's unauthorized personnel out of our nation's database and fight their access to the Treasury. Our collective futures and lives are at stake. The information of the American people cannot be in the hands of unelected private citizens." [3/4]
We don't need them talking, we need them taking action. This is not business as usual. This is a coup in plain sight. And people are talking about what to campaign on. If something isn't done, there will be no campaigning because there won't be another election.
Yes. Demand all Democratic leaders to hold press conferences like Murphy’s. Encourage our friends and family to join @bsky.app and collectively support the resistance. Share productive plans on how to effectively resist. Rest, recharge, and repeat tomorrow—and every day after.
While action is what everyone wants, it is through powerful speeches—informing, explaining, persuading, and inspiring—that people are motivated to come together and rally behind a cause. Every meaningful movement begins with authentic, compelling words.
I am writing some of the main people who have strongest voices in Senate & Congress to DEMAND ACTION ! THAT they DO something! Stop 'talking' and start "Walking" the Walk. Where was ACTION re BEING Disqualified? Crickets! Amnesty Bill? Crickets! Impeachment? Crickets @schiff.senate.gov
There have been at least 19 or so. This was a press conference in front of the USAid building where many Dems spoke out and later there was another press conference at the Capitol where about 10 or so Dems spoke out. Media hasn’t shown any of these. Hopefully Lawrence and Rachel, Chris, Joy will.
Stay loud and keep demanding what WE want! They represent US. That means we have to communicate our expectations en masse, over and over again. Don’t let up!

Disorganized we fall.
We’re falling. Badly.
Please, Democrats, get your act together. The country needs leadership RIGHT NOW.
