Funny. After inteacting with you, I'm now less sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians. Good job.

Upon reflection, I'm more concerned about US Senators being manhandled by our authoritarian executive branch than I am about those poor Palestinians. Much more concerned.

Want to think you have our backs if those thugs come to Eugene and start harassing our neighbors. If that happens I promise good trouble and might need your help.

Political weathervane is back on Gaza now? Why is this the most important issue for us in the middle of Oregon? Hint: it isn't. Please stay focused on stopping your R colleagues from screwing things up even worse here at home.

What?

Wish Democrats would quit with always playing defense, telling us how bad Rs are.
What are you going to do when back in power? Go big this time.

The majority party does not care. Try new tactics.

I don't like that they changed the rules either, but they have changed whatever rules used to exist. We won't be able to gently nudge them back to our idea of normalcy. Strong words and letters won't cut it. These bullies and idiots will have to be beaten and humiliated until irrelevant again.

That's always my question too. We here on BlueSky are not the voters she needs to be talking to. We're already on board.

Good work.
Will be watching the 1am circus tonight. Counting on you to make everything difficult for those dishonest Rs.

Their voters believe it and won't punish them for it. Whose fault is that? Unless and until you change that dynamic these posts are just whining. Leave that to us. We need you to lead.

You're acting like they *want* things to work.
As long as your R colleagues are fine with the way things are going, your little complaints play into their game.
Either fight them or refuse to participate.

I'm slowly coming to realize how much their voters, our neighbors, hate us. You are right of course, but they do not care. They like liberal suffering, or have been brainwashed into voting for it no matter the consequences in their own lives.

That's great. Almost 4 months late, but great.
Don't understand why you worked with those people in good faith when they weren't showing any.

Preaching to the choir here on Bluesky. We don't need cheerleading. We need to see someone getting through to our neighbors who voted for the felon. Talk is cheap.

You're not wrong, but this is whining.
What are you doing to get through to our rural neighbors?

Signal has never been permitted on White House or Pentagon devices, but incoming Trump officials started using it when the Trump-Vance transition refused government IT help to avoid record-keeping laws and kept using it after Inauguration Day. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We need to see trials for these people. Not enough for them to resign and get plush gigs with right wing think tanks. Charges and trials.
And using Signal means they have no intention of there being any record of their crimes. Crack down TODAY on the use of unsecure software by federal employees.

And 4 soldiers killed in Lithuania?
I was Army 11B. I get it. Soldiers die sometimes. But after the endless Benghazi hearings I expect someone in the US govt to address this.

Resign sounds nice. Too nice.
I want these people in jail. As long as it takes. D's need to make a promise to American people that they will be tried in whatever courts of law still exist when this is over.

Admirable. Good job. Great for normal times.
Right now, kind of hoping Democrats will be spending their energy making the R party absolutely toxic to their voters. They're giving you the rope. Make sure they hang and are irrelevant for generations.

Your R colleagues are insincere and dishonest and you continuing to treat them as legit lawmakers is insulting to this constituent.
Will somebody in your party ask why our executive branch is apparently conducting national security business on an unsecure social media app?

Maybe only in leadership. Bernie still technically an Independent. But those two and Crockett, Raskin, Swalwell + a few others the only Dems speaking my language. My Oregon D rep seems lost and overwhelmed by it all.

Good on you for doing these. Your staff too. Good job.

Strong. Good. Thank you.
Now can some of your staff huddle with Schumer's people?
comment in response to

Is 'bipartisan' still a thing? Please make sure your R colleagues have to own every bit of their power. Rub their noses in their mess and don't help clean it up.

These are not normal times Congresswoman.
Seems like you default to these light posts with lots of exclamation points (!)
We really need federal representation right now. Someone who sees that the only government we've ever known is under threat from within.

Missed it. Will a transcript be available?

'Speaking out' sounds great, but many of our neighbors don't believe a word we say and never will. What we need is a strategy to reach those voters who are comfortable in the disinformation bubbles they choose to be in. They have a winning tribe. Why should they listen to us?
comment in response to

Will never admit a mistake. Everything is Dems fault. Double then triple down.
This is why I'm concerned by the sane, rational approach. Need more confrontational tactics.
comment in response to
post
That's nice. You act like everything is kind of normal, like things were a year or 10 ago. Not giving me confidence that you are the representative we need right now.

@Weather_West
I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

Was just thinking about you . . we're in a bar fight and we need leadership that can win those. Count me as an old white guy all in for you.

I was in Berlin in '87. The USSR was a real enemy we trained for and hated. I'll betcha nearly every guy I served with over there now has sympathy for Russia and contempt for libs like me who still hate them. Russia wins.

This reads true. Hope you and your staff look at it. This is the moment I want our leaders to be meeting. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...
