Murphy needs to have a sit down with Hakeem.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social, if that’s your 1st, 2nd, 3rd … job, concede nothing to the GOP. Act like a genuine opposition party. Impede, obstruct, undermine, and ridicule their every move. Get constituents involved en masse. Shut this shit down!

Chris Murphy, AOC, Elizabeth Warren and a few others - but not enough

#dontcollaborate

Ds need to act as a TRUE OPPOSITION PARTY!!! And to free our Congress members to do their work, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social should be hired to be the OPPOSITION PARTY PRESS SECRETARY with Daily Conferences to inform, encourage, and SHRED THIS REGIME!! Tell your Ds to Make It Happen!!

Yes yes yes

Find the ones you could talk to before the Reich took hold. Those are the votes you can move. The Save ( which saves nothing) must not be voted in. You only need 4!

The GOP have no souls or integrity. And frankly, unless you’re screaming from the hilltops and every corner nonstop, neither do the Dems. The people are all that is left.

Hell fucking yes. Tell that to that schmuck Chuck.

Yup yup and yup

Loudly and in front of many cameras!!

Stop the coup Chris.

Every hour, every day.

Just because you don't see the flames doesn't mean the Reichstag isn't burning. This is an electronic coup by Trump & his brownshirts. The mob is with him. Our only hope is resistance & that the U.S. military will refuse illegal orders & support legitimate court decisions. All is not lost...yet.

Today would have been a good day to be celebrating the third anniversary of Donald Trump being sent to a federal prison to begin serving a 20-year sentence for sedition.

Absolutely wrong message. The message should be, they’re gutting programs that benefit you in order to justify a massive tax cut for billionaires. Talk fairness, not democracy. Billionaires. Are. Robbing. You.

.. and to finally put MAGA out to dry! Why are democrats always on their heals??!! GET AHEAD OF THE GAME finally!

Every Republican has caved in to MAGA. There is no room for compromise. We must learn from the past and say NO. If those who want to rely on the idea of Republican want our vote, they must stand up and vote WITH DEMOCRACY, NOT with MAGA.

He’s been so good

Not sure why they can’t see where this is headed …

Talk is not action. Obstruction is action, and Dems have done almost nothing in that regard to stop the awful nominees. They could have used their procedural power to freeze the Senate, but they barely tried. They need to get real and brave, or resign and step out of the way.

Better late than never I guess? They confirmed Rubio 99-0

When democracy’s on the line, can compromise still save us? With limited tools and partisan gridlock, is it time for a new approach? what are your thoughts🔍 @infinitelyloopy.bsky.social @alreadydidthis.bsky.social @kanaga.nz vote here, no register needed👇

Republican budget adds $25 trillion to national debt #GOP-mega-Debt Where are the cuts and firings at the Pentagon? www.thecentersquare.com/national/art...

Call Republicans & ask them explain why Trump, Vance, Elon, are siding with Putin, neo-nazi far right extremists in Germany - the AfD, while threatening our allies in EU, Canada, Mexico and NATO, & other concerns Spend your time and$ at democracy friendly businesses, use your wallet to protest.

I'm still missing @chrismurphyct.bsky.social describing Republicans for what they are: "bastards", "cowards", "sellouts" (at very least). Whenever I hear "our colleagues on the other side of the aisle" I want to vomit. Start talking like normal people, & normal people will start voting for you.

“The wholesale theft of our government.” Wholesale, as in every administrative department is up for grabs… unhindered… and Trump will take it all in order to get retribution, more power and money for President Musk.

True statesmen don't conduct themselves in this fashion. Integrity is gone. Trust in the party to do the right thing is gone. The european nations need to leave the US in the dust for all global issues.

And less equivocally

Kudos to Sen Murphy for naming it: "in the middle of a constitutional crisis." Weary of hearing "heading towards a ..." Enough!

Idk the save democracy mantra didn’t work well with a majority of Americans during the election so doubt it’s going to resonate again. Think they need 2 hit hard on the broligarchy stealing & that all this is to give a $4T dollar tax cut to the top 1%. Make it abt class war bc that’s what it is

Yes why aren't any of the former presidents saying anything? Where are ALL the senators and house members? All those rich yahoos that wanted to buy a presidency. Does anyone give a shit that the country is being taken? I'm getting donation requests and nothing else.

Compare him to Schumer and not want to open your veins right then and there. There is a whole cohort of leaders waiting and able to take the reins at this critical moment and the seniority system is squelching them. People like Murphy, AOC and Crockett are who we need in leadership right now

Enough professorial chats about process and what democrats should do.

I don't perceive these people as being similar to the Once Republican Party....from that image of the golden calf...at a Trump convention...these people are MAGA folks. They hold old habitual beliefs and patterns...sadly.

The ‘once Republican party’ built the door MAGA walked thru.

By holding old habitual beliefs and patterns...

One of the biggest problems of this is that the Rs have given their power to T/M so there is literally nothing to work with. Ds are on their own with our support to do the hard stuff.

Democrats might want to save Democracy , not sure Republicans are willing to do that

I don’t know how anyone can work with cult -like members of a party. This is a cult as we all know.

Oh for gods sake just get your shit together and do something.

While you can’t work with the GOP Congress, you can work with voters in red states who are increasingly vulnerable to Trump’s budget cuts. Create an app (like 5-Calls) so GOP voters can call their representatives to complain about issues that are important to them.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Dems are only interested in fundraising and getting reelected. Some of us keep trying to push Dems to take action, but it’s wasted effort. They should be LEADERS running our country. Instead they ride the gravy train and ignore our pleas.

The issue is if they were interested in DOING that, they could. They aren’t. It’s clear they aren’t.

On Instagram live…we gotta reach the people

My answer! Hell F$&@ing NO!!

The press has to WANT to air the Dem’s message. Too much dragging Dems, not enough calling out dragging the media.

Chris Murphy can deny unanimous consent any time he wants

Agreed! More of this rhetoric doesn’t at all have the tradeoff of the procedural shit Congress is trying to do right now (which I appreciate), and it would go a long way towards making the general public more alarmed at what’s going on.

Democrats should vow to work with all Republicans who acknowledge that (a) what DOGE is doing is patently unconstitutional; (b) Trump is an autocrat; (c) Congress must assert its constitutional powers or it will lose them; and (d) democracy is always better than autocracy.

And (e) Trump lost the 2020 election fair and square (f) J6 was a Coup against our country and Trump and his minions planned, supported, instigated and participated in it.

Lots of windbag politicians doing nothing. How is this even a question?

Yeah, but the "there may be one or two who are reasonable on their face" spiel is how Marc Rubio was confirmed 99-0. Murphy and Schumer and Jeffries, et al, still don't really get it.

Shouldn’t the republicans want to save our democracy?

No..you don’t work with the devil..It has to stop now..

The question is, "Can you work with Republicans who are supporting this Constitutional crisis?" The answer is no!

No
