Emil Bove will put Trump’s political retribution above the law. Senate Democrats are standing up against this blatant attempt to rubber stamp Trump’s agenda.

Guys, it worked! By walking out the Democrats have completely shattered MAGA, Project 2025 and this administration! Donald Trump just resigned and is now in jail! Why didn't they think of this before?!

Dems keep trying to appeal to GOP's decency, which they no longer possess. They're under full control & influence of Dear Leader. So, gloves off! Dems need to put forth their best talents to speak out strongly against the regime. They need their own clear vision/plan & communicate it repeatedly.

MiddleMolly @middlemolly.bsky.social

Yes, federal judges can be impeached & removed with a 2/3rds vote of the Senate. 2/3rds means MANY Republicans would have to vote with the Dems, as it is unlikely either party will EVER get 2/3rd of the Senate.

That's you. That's not me. We all have a right to choose our lives, positions. Bernie Sanders is old. Should he be ushered out of office. I don't think so. That would be ageism. Nancy Pelosi too. Plus, who decides the age limit?

Nancy was feared by them and rightfully so. Master strategist. We need her right now as speaker. Shake things up? What's the plan? Congress is not a reality shows it is where policy is maxes social media and 24/7 news has turned it into a show and we the people suffer.

It prevents a quorum which they need to have a legitimate vote. So even though the Rs voted whether it is legit is in the hands of the Senate Parliamentarian.
