If you're wondering why congressional Democrats spent 3 months after the election rolling over and playing dead, it's because they were listening to these guys.

Sen Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) letter to chair of Senate Judiciary Cmte, which is poised to vote on confirmation of Kash Patel: “We regret that you have rejected our efforts to inquire into the first-ever invocation of Fifth Amendment protection by a nominee seeking to lead the FBI”

As a prosecutor, we investigated cases where bad actors left themselves a back door in govt systems. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse suggests Musk’s team could “manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u...

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored. They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”

Everyone has the right to plead the fifth. But the Judiciary Committee ought to care why Trump’s nominee for FBI Director felt the need to do so.

Thank you @whitehouse.senate.gov for your words overnight in taking over the senate floor in solidarity with @schatz.bsky.social and other senate dems. We need more of this every single day!

This is a start but, to be clear, still nowhere close to maximum obstruction. No UC, on anything. No unrecorded votes, on anything. No waiving rules, on anything. Fight even on adjournments. Quorum calls every time you can. Make every dilatory motion in the books and new ones you just made up.

Russ Vought, the architect of Project 2025, is unfit to lead the OMB. Senate Democrats and I are holding the Senate Floor to oppose his disgraceful nomination. I'm up next.

Tomorrow I’m taking to the floor in opposition to the nomination of Russell Vought. An instigator of #Project2025 who failed as OMB Director before should not oversee America’s budget.

Ok, since we are here, here is what I know about the 2/5 rallies: No major org has endorsed them. No flyers I or others have seen identify any partners or organizers. Senior organizers at mobilizing orgs you all know have no idea who is behind the 2/5 events. Exercise extreme caution.

Folks, I need to say something. The number one rule of protesting is know your organizer. If you don't know who is organizing an event near you (including a widely advertised rally), you should find out. I have DEEP concern right now about "peaceful protests" seeding violence.

No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.
