🚨EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Mark Pocan just blew the lid off a MAGA cover-up: FOUR Republican Senators switched their votes to confirm Trump’s cabinet after their families got death threats from MAGA lunatics. That’s not democracy. It’s terrorism - and it’s infecting the GOP from inside.
Maybe the votes should be anonymous so they can vote their conscience.
America is ruled by a lawless puppet regime, a front for far-right billionaires and Russian mobsters. Courts and judges will not remove it for you. And neither will the Democrats. A general uprising is the only way and resistance at every step is your civic duty. Thread: bsky.app/profile/idio...
Is anyone surprised?
BULLSHIT!
@jesscraven101.bsky.social I feel sick about this & how they can sabotage the Medicaid budget bill by terrorizing senators.
I thought this was public knowledge. Thom Tillis revealed this when he was forced to vote for the raging drunk Signal chat enthusiast Whiskey Pete after getting death threats.
Yup. Months ago. I hate him with the fire of a thousand suns, but he came forward.
How come the Dems are not getting death threats? Or are they just ignoring the threats they are getting??
Because the dems are voting against all this harm. They are doing everything they can to get the word out. They are introducing bills to stop the blood.
and as soon as they gave them what they wanted, the senators knew they'd never live in fear again
Sarcasm detected.
I applaud him for telling the truth
Wasn’t this covered already? Like in January? www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Yes.
Truth to power.
No courage
So bring the threats to light and have them investigated. I thought they cared about law and order lol. Spoiler alert they don’t give a shit about law and order! This kind of thing used to be important! Corruption is what is important now. It’s like MAGATS are applauding corruption!
It's not just terrorism, it's pure chickenshit cowardice. Without flocks of gutless, groveling sheep who run and hide when threatened, dictators and tyrants cannot prevail.
And now you know the real reason why they don't vote against him! Right out of the horses mouth !
"The calls are coming from inside your house"
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. You work for your constituents not yourself.
It's a shame they didn't loudly, frequently, make those threats public. Evil flourishes in darkness.
📌
📌
Putin and trump have henchmen.
The mafia state
That’s where we are
The four legislators should be asked to step down. We don't need cowards with everything that's at stake. At this point in history you must have the courage to help the American people, not grovel at Trump's feet. If they are not up to the job, then step down and move aside.
Aha! Now we must investigate and punish the offenders. Except the people that do that are helping and on the side of the offenders.
Rubio aside, this entire cabinet was seated at gunpoint. Kamala Harris would not have seated a cabinet at gunpoint.
@maddow.msnbc.com @aoc.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov
oh that is some dark shit right there.
sound like death ☠️ threats work to push policy. guess they want everyone to buy a burner & faraday cage bag til away from any regular spots & join in the corruption. 🥶 race to z bottom is a terrible way to govern. 🫠
👀❤️🔥🤮 threatening folks is assault & illegal. following thru is battery. also illegal. perhaps 🤔 anonymized voting 🗳️ for our public servants… so they can vote 🗳️ for their constituents & not a corrupt gangster drowning in rico extortion & racketeering. ❤️🔥 ⚖️💞🗽
"The death threats are working" said every Republican.
I never saw in this in mainstream media. It needs to be reported as many times as possible. Domestic terrorism that the GOP along with the current administration condone.
I believe one was Tom Tillerson? Also Lisa Murkowski has also spoke out about this and yet NOTHING has been done? You can bet that the 1550 insurrectionist whom he pardoned are a big treat to anyone who opposes him!
What Else Is Hidden In One Big Beautiful Bill? Call your Rep NOW ask them why they support fascism! Phone 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XOL... Do a Chat GPT or any AI, or any search engine to compare The Big Beautiful Bill vs Hitler's Enabling Act of 1933
One of the downsides of being part of a crime organization.
All those saying if you're afraid quit are right. I just hope they knew it wasn't just a great of a man tweet or getting primaried out of a job. It's a fear of physical violence and death threats from the MAGA cult.
*fear, *mean
Where's the FBI investigation into these threats?
I see. So, the solution to death threats is coming to Congress to give tax breaks for gun silencers?
The losses keep mounting for King Orange! If he beautiful bill passes, the 99% know what to do! Peaceful protest en mass is the plan!
This is old news. Tillis was one of the Senators. Then he turned around and said he wouldn’t hold town halls b/c of death threats from constituents. He is, was, and will always be spineless. But I’m always happy to be proven wrong.
bsky.app/profile/soph...
Anyone surprised?
"Elect me again despite the outcome this time"
Is this really news? I mean we've been watching this go on for years now. Right? RIGHT?!
WAKE UP AMERICA
Who?
Huh? Can't they call law enforcement or other agencies who combat these violent threats. What is it about "these" death threats that coerces GOP to bend their knee?
I hope the families are safe, but their silence doesn't help tackle the growing problem.
Over half the police are Maga. They're likely to arrest you for complaining.
You are what your votes say you are
🤬
They should out the people making threats. Knuckling under just makes things worse
They’re using that as cover to continue their conspiracy grifting.
You’d think Kash-me-out Patel would be all over this but…oh, right, it’s Kash Patel.
He's probably the one ordering the threats in the first place...
No doubt there will be similar threats to senators and their families if they fail to rubber-stamp Trump’s budget reconciliation bill.
Fucking cowards!
Mitt Romney reported the same thing several years ago. I think Republicans are just using those threats as an excuse to take the politically easiest path forward. They would have had to pay for a 'no' vote regardless.
If this is true we are in dark times
Before Times: 11/4/2024 End Times: 11/5/2024 - present
Then GTF out of politics!!
thats how its done, right out of Putin's play book, they threaten or worse. Not sure how this can be fixed, many spoke out against Trump originally and all of a sudden they were his best buddies again.
The *entire* MAGAt movement is a terrorist enterprise, led by a Führer as insane and evil as Hitler himself. And the DOJ is led by one such lunatic. They claim otherwise, and say there's no political persecution anymore. "The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil"- Senator Mon Mothma, Andor
That party is getting EVERYTHING it has wanted, for decades. These "fearful representatives" can pay for personal security with their salaries, and can probably write it off as a business expense or something similar. Don't buy the " we're scared and helpless bs.
Dems, judges, democratic influencers all get death threats on a daily basis. We fight on, but the "masculine" GOP run like babies to their momma.
Time to act! Dismantle authoritarianism Rally on Flag Day! Repost and see you all there! More info at: app.antimagaclub.com @david-greybeard.bsky.social @pawix64.bsky.social @bamesjasler.bsky.social
I call BS on this .Those Sen. are rich when they get in..they get richer as they go..so if they or fam got threats..they have money for security..they're full of shit, cowardice, and are just plain cheap..no excuses for weak little bitches🦋💙
If they got together he'd be gone and NO MORE THREATS
You are right about that!
It is also cowardice.
Names or GTFO.
America has ALWAYS had a right-wing terror problem from day one and it's never addressed it head-on and soundly defeated it.
Bending the knee to get beheaded.
When you a yellow chicken shit sack of trash you susceptible to that kind of thing
What they should have done was called the media and their lawyers and exposed them instead of fucking over America. Cowards.
They should have never surrendered. You screwed yourself along with us, buddy.
I think I’d go straight to the media. Sometimes the best thing you can do is shine a light straight on the darkness. If four senators came forward, it would have become a real fugging issue. But no… they did the Republican thing. If they aren’t in the shadows, they can’t function.
ok, agree that the threats to elected officials/judges from MAGA is awful and should be punished, but elected officials have protections ordinary people don't have from these thugs. If they can't take it, they should give up their positions
But none of those FOUR Republican Senators have come forward to tell the public. This is hearsay.
Tillis did. Months ago. bsky.app/profile/soph...
Why would they come forward, and admit their cowardice?
Because it's the RIGHT thing to do? Or is that not a thing anymore? Never mind, I just answered my own question.
lmfao yeah you did
They're not going to come forward because if their names got out then they might be out come midterms!
Repost and share! We must stop this from happening in the senate!
Family members threatened. This is what the Nazis did! @tribelaw.bsky.social @judgeluttig.bsky.social @marktushnet.bsky.social
Was it the threats that made them realize they were in a cult?
those senators are spineless. as if Maga lunatics ain’t threatening american citizens everyday. we don’t give af about them clowns!
Americans. Make it stop!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I thought they all believed in Stand Your Ground but I guess they can talk the talk and not walk the talk! It’s time for States to stop the Fetal Personhood Act and stay the fuck away from Women and their reproductive rights!
When have we ever heard of such egregious behavior and, by the way, isn't that illegal??? Authoritarianism is just around the corner, sad to say...
Authoritarianism is HERE and we do nothing
Fascism is here.
This is Trump's Amerika.
Death threats?
They are still spineless humans.
MAGA ARE DOMESTIC TERRORIST.
Dotard makes a call j6 respond!
🤬🤬🤬
Probally the same people that threaten on a weekly basis AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Eric Swalwell
Trump is a mobster.
Ok, so what does our government do about this? Find who the threats came from, provide security to families, and vote. This shoukd have been made public immediately. Being a public servant shouldn't mean risking lives, government needs to do better.
The extent of their pussyhood is startling. If only they understood strength in numbers. Pussies.
Why didn’t these senators report the threats instead of allowing a cabinet of dunces?
He’s right. Repukes need to grow a spine. Bullies need to be pushed back. If they’re so worried about their families, then they should step aside.
If these situations were reported, but with the name of a different country instead of USA, and also the names of that country’s political figures instead of the U.S. Senators, all Americans would be outraged. A reveal of the actuality of this being 🇺🇸 would have Ds outraged & Rs saying “So what?”.
I wonder if Roger Stone and his thugs are involved?
Damn right they are
The " Anonymous cowards with burner phones " party.
The #OrangeCockroach is a mafia frontman and comes from a long family line of them as well. I've always believed that a handful were being threatened while the others are joyful doormats. So now that this is known, which billionaire is going to step up to provide them with security?
I have been saying this all along. It’s the Putin playbook, vote for this ridiculous bill or appointment or we will come for your family. God help you America.
IMHO, any senator who complies with the fascist thugs’ demands instead of resigning is just giving them more strength.
The call is coming from within the house. It was not maga idiots that threatened them. And sorry, you signed up, do your job or quit.
Obviously a compromised vote (to say the least). Call for another vote!
Didn’t McConnell’s sister in law mysteriously die?
It wasn't mysterious, she was killed by a lethal design flaw in her Tesla that should have gotten Elon Musk arrested for negligent manslaughter but of course we live in a corporatocracy so nah
Or “blood alcohol level”
I wonder how those lunatics knew to target those particular senators’s families. No, actually I don’t. I know exactly how they knew. They were doing what they were told. This is how dictatorships work.
Why didn't they report them to the police and/or Secret Service or FBI? Good grief are they ALL THAT STUPID?
MAGA is the mob. Trump is their mob boss!
Bullshit. Their cowardliness puts American Citizens lives in danger, but do protect yourself and families exclusively. . We will remember this.
Seems like something the DOJ should be right on top of these threats 🙃
I knew it!
did these senators file a report with the police? what happened when they did so? what was the result of the investigation? are they not calling the police? Democrats get those threats too. they still vote right.
🦗🦗🦗
THIS is the way bsky.app/profile/jose...
KILL HIM! HE HAS TO DIE! THERE'S CURRENTLY NO OTHER WAY. Dictator Putin gets annihilated, (Orange Shitler), (It's) Nazi cultists, & international corruption, will follow his demise bsky.app/profile/euge...
Why is this not being investigated.
Trump Cartel
I honestly don’t care though. If they are afraid to do their job, then step down and let someone else do it.
Do they think its going to get better over time by capitulating?
I think Congressman Pocan said that’s what he signed up for and pretty much addressed that but, I do concur with you.
Agree
💯
You are either MAGA or you’re not ! There is no in between
Why isn't Tapped investigating this???
That’s fascism one on one
Do the rules in the Senate and the House preclude having personal recording devices in use when you are in either, without prior consent of all present? "I heard" is not a strong basis for reporting the situation even when it isn't in a 'trial' testimony!
They created this monster, I literally DO NOT CARE how many of the bastards it eats. It was as stupid as it was evil as it was just completely irresponsible.
Then resign if you cannot do your job.
Exactly!!!!
Right, in your own mind, you changed your vote. No excuses! Find another job.
Cowards, not leaders.
Come on, cheeseburgers!
We've gone from a country that claimed, dubiously, "We will not negotiate with terrorists!"to a country that is run by a terrorist regime... in just a few months... ugh🤬
they have the power to call this out and push back - their cowardice is costing us all...
We're the threats from inside the government?
*were
Of course they were. That's how he rules. Mob boss.
Or Miller's minions
They need to stop protecting these cowards and name them by name. They shouldn't be receiving death threats but part of their job is facing them down and not giving in.
I don't get it Republicans have the power to stop this! I guess they don't mind their loved ones getting death threats 🤔
“From maga”. I’m guessing the call was coming from inside the house.
It’s only a cover up if they are taking this srsly. Otherwise it’s considered sour grapes. So, put up or shut up. We don’t have time for BS
Yeah and the US elected a 34X FELON. No one cares. The GOP won’t budge and the Christofascists hide behind camera filters and soft lighting. If you can’t prove this, which doesn’t really matter any more, it didn’t really happen, right. It’s just hearsay.
Former moderate GOP rep Don Bacon went full MAGA after his wife received death threats because of his opposition to Jim Jordan's Speaker bid.
How about this. If we the American Public started giving death threats to members for voting for the Bill. How would that go down. Like this. These same Senators would Public about them. Asking the FBI to investigate. They would be all over the News.
The FBI is no longer on the side of good
Oh, Clearly Republicans and the FBI would be doing it for show. If it came from us.
That sounds like a typical Thursday on social media these days… what a bunch of wusses.
It would seem that if anyone could do something about this, it would be members of Congress. Republicans enabled this to happen. Do something!
THE CAN but THEY WON'T.
Rep Pocan calling them nuts and no spine is what needs to be constantly said. Well done!
Abso-freaking-lutely since it’s simply the truth about them.
You know that’s what I’m talking about.
They're supporting a mobster. They're in for good.
MAGA is a domestic terrorist organization lead by trump
Freakin EXCUSES. The country’s future is at stake. They’re not ‘nuts’. They’re cowards. Fascists love cowards. They’re easier to manipulate.
Like they won't be watching their backs if they gut Medicaid?
This will probably happen with this budget bill. If it worked before, it will likely work again.
I am sorry but they should have resigned and said why. You can’t let threats run your democracy. Not that I blame them for being scared for their families. But now they will receive threats before every major vote.
“I had heard” is not “blowing the lid off” anything. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is true, but it’s so important, especially now, not to over-sensationalize your reporting.
(For the record, the budding conspiracy theorist in me has believed those threats came directly from Trump/Vance, all along!)
Unless you provide names you are the one that's spineless. Talk is cheap
If you’re going to be a pussy, then retire and go home. We Need leaders who will work For the people who VOTED For them.
Go after MAGA and get over your cowering
If we ever get control of our gov't they need to pass a law against threatening families and friends. This is #gangsterism and against the law. The stress and pressure is #terrorism & should be treated as such.
This is extortion on every level. Without finding and punishing these, mainly cranks, it will ruin our Democracy even further.
Murkowski said the same thing…. That’s why she voted for EVERYTHING!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Then they should NOT be Senators!
Bull shit. If she’s that scared then don’t BOTHER running again and in the meantime, don’t vote yes on crap that’s going to ruin things for ALL OF US. Just say “present” or just stay the hell out of the way.
They “make” enough money to pay for security. Though families should be off limits these groups learned from trump anyone is fair game. If you can’t handle the job, quit.
