I know the Senate has a tradition of being the less hostile chamber, but I would love to see one Dem Senator today, stand up & demand the resignation not just of Pete Hegseth, but of every Senator who voted to confirm him. They know what they voted for.
Fuckin’ A.

25 hours plus of calling for his resignation and detailing all the reasons why with a retrospective of all his many deeds. That could take 48 hours.
Thankfully not a single D or I voted for this raging alcoholic monster.

Yes, it's each and every one of my teacher's fault I care about my country. And my World History's teacher's fault I care about the world. They did their job.
Yes. Absolutely. I have a greater appreciation for the importance of their work of late!
My english teacher tried she's did.
Fuck yeah ✊🏻
Fifty senators voted for him with JD Couch Potato breaking the tie.
Democrats are cowards
Fuck off.

Totally stole this. Did you draw it? Love it
I did not. No stealing. Just sharing! Lol
Oh, but then how would Chuck Schumer ride the stationary bike next to one of these cowardly GOP assholes in the Senate gym? No, if you’re a Dem Senator, it’s best to follow Schumer’s lead and just sit in a dark closet waiting for Trump’s poll numbers to fall.
. Data and passwords of top US officials are easily available. The US National Security Adviser, Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Defense leak data all the time, placing allied lives at risk. Signalgate is tiny compared to the risks they posed. . www.spiegel.de/internationa...
Bring back Congresspeople in both chambers solving extreme disagreements with dueling
Great idea. TFG has proven to be practically untouchable but his henchmen and sycophants are not. We should be going after them so they don’t make it a ‘circle the wagons around trump’ opportunity. We start picking off the low hanging first, he took away our allies, we go after his.
they are all sleeping this week! the pansie asses they need to standup EVERY DAY AGAINST THIS ADMIN!
And the result would be, possibly, one 20 second mention on some news programs. Nothing else whatsoever. But everyone would "feel" better.
Shaping narratives is about feel. Dems need to learn how to better created and spread narratives. Sadly, the right and their media have mastered it
That's essentially what I've been saying and repeating for at least a year. But I haven't seen any sign of it yet. What I do see are people calling for Dems to "do something" ... but few can define what "something" is ... other than stamp their feet, yell and make a speech about Bad Trump.
14 members of Congress now support impeachment. If yours is not one, or isn’t yelling loud enough for you to know, call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121 and ask why not. Or just go to their Congress website and email them every time you feel angry. It’s therapeutic! (Please repost)
I would like to see any elected official point out, 53 republican senators could be prosecuted for confirming national security threats to national security postings. Noem has not one qualification required to head the DHS. States can prosecute senators for violating their oaths of office.
Where are decent republicans? We used to have them. None of them care that our national security is blatantly in the toilet?
The last republican with integrity was Bob Dole.
Hiding in the closet. Lindsey Graham is hosting
I’m getting really sick of the democrats. DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!
Chris Van Hollen did a tremendous thing and press covered it. Adam Schiff speaks out forcefully. The GOP need to go to Dem side in both houses to stop this. (Bernie is not Chris van Hollen. Bernie speaks to crowds but he doesn't really do anything. )
Van Hollen did A thing. One. Nobody knew his name before this. I'm glad he did, don't get me wrong but Bernie is a household name. To say he "doesn't do anything" is ridiculous. He's been fighting for the working class his entire life. Now he's passing the torch, and you call it "nothing". Psh.
Being a household name doesn't mean you get things done. Adam schiff was a "nobody" until the impeachment. Because people like Schiff, Van Hollen, actually are working and getting a things done and building their knowledge. Bernie has always been a career politician who is drawn to the limelight.
That's pathetic. He's always been a man of integrity who fights for the working class. He's actively passing the torch. What has Van hollen been doing until his One Big Thing? Bernie has been talking the talk and walking the walk his entire career. From civil rights era to today. "Limelight" my ass
Integrity matters. You have it or you don't. He has it. You know, Bernie won the Michigan state primary over Clinton all those years ago. And your own cited article has something like 44 or 45 photos of Bernie being endorsed by Killer Mike and Bernie endorsing Clinton herself as early as July.
The progressive left is not progressive, they are male identified.
Bernie could never have gathered the African American vote and we knew it. But he still stayed in the race because he is egotistical. Bernie is a white liberal from Vermont without a clue.
Your memories of the facts are clouded by what ifs and should have beens.. but the facts are all right there for you to look at for yourself. Get mad and stay mad, but for fucks sake direct it somewhere useful.
The so called progressive left are as ideological as the magas. Women's rights is not part of your priority list and that's why w You followed and backed a finger wagged who never did anything.
Keep arguing with yourself. I'm done. You don't even make any sense. You can't.
.. taken seriously as a woman meant betraying your gut instincts and sacrificing everything for a seat at the "men's table". We aren't fucking playing that game anymore. A woman CAN win, not in SPITE of but BECAUSE of being a strong woman. It's about fucking time. He's making it happen.
You're out of your head, arguing with yourself. He's currently passing the torch to AOC, because her beliefs are aligned with his-not because of gender or skin color-but the values she stands for. yup.. it's all about white men tho🙄 Clinton and Warren both came from a different era. One where being
And he didn't think a woman could win and that's why he stayed in the race and hurt Clinton. He is a patriarch. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/01/...
In 1972, the height of the women's movement, Hillary Clinton was working for women's rights and Bernie sanders wrote this drivel. . www.cnn.com/2015/05/28/p...
He is a career politician and jumps in front of a parade. He couldn't win the African American vote and that's why he lost. He is a white liberals dream candidate- talks big, acts small. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hil...
What? He is doing something
They’re afraid too. Lisa M told us… but she didn’t clarify if they’re physically afraid or just afraid to lose their seat… insider trading comes with that so you know
I think Republicans are scared of primary challenges, but Murkowski has already survived that. There is a physical fear. The amount of threatening correspondence all the folks in DC get is staggering. And as we just saw in PA. It's an ongoing real threat
Well I can say as a citizen there’s much MORE fear bc we have no idea how this is going. She …can hire security off the money she made insider trading
Only a few Dem Congress members are not weak, inept, old school Failures. Biden also too old school for todays vicious, illicit but clever GOP
It will never happen sadly. The entire GOP congress senate and house is full of capitulating cowards.
It’s such an easy position to take, especially since he has put our service members in harms way by being so careless with confidential information. Come on Dems, let’s stand up for what is right in ALL facets of our country and rule of law.

@judiciarydems.senate.gov @commerce.senate.gov @budget.senate.gov @senatepress.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov Excellent question…
Monday morning quarterbacks say what? 🙄 Did any of you watch Hegseth's Confirmation Hearings? That's what I thought. The Dem Senators WERE BRUTAL. But it didn't matter because *Republicans. Get pissed at them for a change. Try to take down their party.
youtube.com/shorts/KRNoA...
MEANWHILE these are the kinds of questions the Republicans asked Hegseth during his hearings. Omfg youtube.com/shorts/Q_6ct...
Why aren't we screaming at Republicans to explain this? To denounce Hegseth? We spend so much time & effort cleaning up after them that we can't accomplish anything else. REPUBLICANS DID THIS ⤵️
And they All voted to confirm Rubio so that's a thing..
www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Yeah...and wasn't there a Dem or two in that bunch?
Hegseth did not get a Dem vote in final confirmation
Thank you. I am very happy to hear that. I know some approved other cabinet members.
bsky.app/profile/murr...
Senate, like the House, is in the second week of their Easter recess… No speeches today.
I'm sorry most can't do to their hands are dirty,so that would be calling the kettle black. BUT WHAT WE DO NEED IS FOR US TO SET THE RULES AND GET THE DIRTY OUT FRESH IN THEN IT SMELLS BETTER. AMEN
Democrats still think that republicans are their colleagues instead of the vile snakes they are
I'm not sure what they think anymore. These days there seems to be thought paralysis with too many
Excellent idea. Requires a spine, in short supply there.
Exactly. Imagine the response if it were the reverse. We now know that the strong defense, military support, and patriotism Republicans have regurgitated over and over was, and is, Cosplay. Of course the moment they lined up behind the cretin with tiny hands and a small dick was a sign too.
My thoughts exactly
Well said 👍👍
Senator Tillis should be the first to go since he was reportedly going to vote no and then they pulled him in the back room and he came out and voted yes. Then V.P broke the tie.
So you still have the meth problem. Sorry to hear that.
👍
Both of the Senators from NC did! Tillis is scared of a primary and Budd is an insurrectionist - Go figure!
North Carolina should already be a blue state. It has been the epicenter of GOP interference for a decade
he needs to go but who will be put in to replace him? We sure as hell do not want mike flynn
Duckworth would do it.
Surely there must be one Senator who wants to make a name for themselves if nothing else? Even if standing up and doing your duty is too much to ask on its own, becoming well known for standing up for freedom ought to be worth something, no? We need fighters, not sideliners.
Need to hit a message. Rinse , repeat again & again
they say they 'hold to a higher standard' than congress...
That's not saying much
Agree. JD, the pope killer, put in the tie breaking vote.
Chuck Schumer will do everything in his power to prevent this from happening-after all, it is a breach of 1950’s decorum
Yup
Unfortunately the Dems don't have any balls! Hopefully they grow a set soon! @aoc.bsky.social
If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.
Demanding Hegseth resign is one thing. Demanding everyone who voted for him resign would be met with laughs of absurdity.
Did you watch the confirmation hearings? Thought not.
We do live in absurd times. We've seen a great deal of absurdity spoken & bludgeoned into reality
By one party…not ours. Zero chance such a demand is taken seriously. One person, sure.
Certainly no one will act on it. But you can hammer a message. It would be fun if people start chanting resign every time these clowns appear in public.
The GOP are allowing a coup and destroying America. They are an insurrectionist party.
Not sure why Dems don't say it but if one goes the whole story shifts to them while the coup continues
Just as some of these morons want. They’ve made a living bashing Dems . They can all go back to ruzzia.
I would pay to see that!
Less hostile my ass.
*knew
They are NOT & never have been for US. Get it???
Agreed.
The ancient Japanese tradition of Seppuku would be ok for me.
Works for me
Pete will survive mainly out of spite.
You are likely right
Pete Hegseth puts paid to the old Adage “You get what you pay for”. You’re paying for a Secretary of Defence. But all you’re getting is a “FOX Talk Show Host” You made a bad choice there SENATE ENABLERS!!
I wrote my senators asking them just this one favor, not to risk our national security with Hegseth. They care not. Shame have they, yes, I am sure. Power? Naw. Zilch. In the clutches of the monied. Sold their country to the highest bidder. Whores, they are. They have a master, but no country.
The Democrats in the Senate should ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE DEMAND HE RESIGN….
Grow some GOD DAMN BALLS!
unfortunately most dems are using the excuse of "decorum" to be fucking cowards
And the orange one who nominated him.
It would be great. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
And they are too chicken shit @wyden.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov Plz relay to the gop
The less hostile!? You mean where McConnell works?! Less hostile?! He actively worked against Obama therefore against the ppl I vehemently disagree w/your statement
They are hostile with us. No doubt. But many Senators behave toward each other with a deference that should now be a relic
And could we arrest the coup/regime leader while we’re at it❓⁉️
These days, I think that 'hostility' is entirely appropriate.
It's their way of life. Might as well return serve and listen to them whine
💯💯💯
Our Senate is a joke. Our House is a joke. Both parties are self serving. Time for a third party. The time is now. There were people that were quoted last election saying “I don’t like either candidate” in droves. Whatever their reason, one thing is certain. We are hungry for the third option.
It’s definitely time for a revolution in the Senate and the House.
There are a handful of democrats but republicans and the rest of democrats need to be voted out of their seats. Obviously they are not in this for the people . They don’t have enough guts to stand up for nobody.
Sadly, Dem senators are still clinging to this notion of “civility” that GOP senators abandoned long ago, both to our disadvantage.
I'm past the point that f civility. They are not civil with us
Agreed. This is no time for civility. They are anti-New Deal counterrevolutionaries so We must be countercounterrevolutionaries! See “Constitution in Exile”
Dare to dream!
It's all I've got. And the THC gummies I need to sleep in our crazy times, makes the dreams even better.
If the Dems are not all going to step up, then we need a party who will. The fact that the Democratic leadership didn’t support the 4/19 Rally says volumes. They are too comfortable and may need to be replaced with leaders who are alive like Bernie and Corey Booker. We’re done waiting.
They won't lead us. We need to lead them. We show them where the energy & the money is. They will come around or be cast aside
Well that would make the chaos perfect.
Light up the phones and demand the Senators stand together to demand his resignation!
This @duckworth.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov
Why stop there? If they’re making demands that no one will listen to or care about and will affect nothing why stop with demanding their resignation? Why not stand up and demand that AOC be crowned queen of the galaxy? Ban Mondays, capitalism, and sadness? Demand Blizzard finish Starcraft Ghost.
….and every Senator who voted to keep trump in office after being impeached, twice!
I would like to see them after F47’s next impeachment vote to convict and remove.
Here ya go. www.senate.gov/legislative/...
Cory Booker sent out a tweet..does that count? Lol
Drop everything and fight for due process. Without it, we’re nobodies.
And remember when he said give me this job and I won't drink? Submitted into evidence.
His "mistakes" do seem to resemble those of a drunk uncle who sends out drunk texts to unknown people.
More often than not.
And the man that chose him.
As GWPDA looked at the security clearance card which enabled work for USARPAC. I guess Pete hasn't gotten his. Yet.
Not sure if truly low hostility, there was a caning on the Senate floor.
Cantwell will be up for that. Hahahahahahahaha
He’s the boozer loser
Good time for some confrontation!!
Long overdue
It will never happen do nothing dems doing nothing it's insanity
That would require a spine transplant.
Transplant means one is already there. Implant !!
The Dem's need to go bat shit crazy. Like throwing a shoe at the Repubs. Then a chair. Anything else within their reach.
I concur! Please, stand up and say this guy needs to GO! Show some courage!
Out of 100, I don’t see a single one standing for working folks with a single exception
So far the following Senators have called for his resignation. Most of them three weeks ago: Three weeks ago: Coons Kelly Wyden Gallego Duckworth Ossoff Murphy Yesterday/Today: Schumer Duckworth (called him a "f-ing" liar) Booker Slotkin
This!👆
Hell yes, it is time.
And Vance.
Any institution allowing the fascism to take greater hold is an extremely hostile chamber.
Hostile to us. I'm referring to amongst themselves
Those pussies Good luck
bsky.app/profile/anti...
Or this nocturnal a-hole.
The Republican Senators need to be shamed each and everyday by a Democrat Senator.. Every Damn day Every Damn one of them …
We must be stronger and with more resolve than the gop cult
Politicians have no morals anymore so don’t respond to calls to resign. It’s about time the whole Trump entourage started getting dragged through your legal system
Unfortunately when they are in office, Congress has the only real authority & they have abdicated it
They're clearly signaling that we're on our own.
Yeah, where are those people?
Schumer has to go! He's not the man for the moment.
To complain about Schumer is like eating your own. Let the MAGA crowd do that when they reach a point of regret. Bitching about Schumer will not solve anything.
One thing Democrats never seem to grasp is that you should clean up your own house before inviting others to visit. We only win elections now when it is to clean up the Republicans' mess. Having your own house in order is the way to lasting success. So criticizing our own is fair.
...and if he is replace with a Maga freak? What then?
I highly doubt the Democratic Senators will elect a MAGA freak to lead their caucus. As for New Yorkers, if a Democrat loses in that state, they probably deserve it.
If you really want to gripe about something why not gerrymandering? Keep after your state reps to vote for fair district boundaries. That is something useful and productive. Trading one Dem for another is like drawing a card with 4 of a kind. At worse it is like drawing to an inside straight.
Hell if New York Dems gerrymandered like a red state , we wouldn't be in this mess. We'd still have the house. But you play by old rules, you lose to those who don't follow them. Which brings us back to Schumer, he's playing a game that no longer exists. It's all part of the same problem
It the same problem... no matter what is done. Removing Schumer will change nothing. Schumer believed that shutting down the gov was worse that voting yes. He knows better than I do. Actually I would like to get rid of congressional districts and have all reps voted on by the entire state.
A Gallup poll found that Schumer is the least trusted politician on the economy. Even lower than the average Democrat. He’s done nothing to inspire confidence in Democrats on kitchen table issues, and he obviously isn’t inspiring anyone on social issues or democracy. He must go as soon as possible.
...and if he is replace with a Maga freak? What then?
His “leadership” already has already led to the Democrats losing the Senate. Probably because in his own words, his “biggest job is to keep the left pro-Israel.” Maybe he’d be better off running for Knesset if that’s the case. But how are you worried that New York State would elect a MAGA senator?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯💯
I think we should re-introduce having Senators cane each other.
Or maybe some Secretaries shouldn’t be confirmed on a simple majority vote. Some, like National Defense, should be a major majority vote to succeed.
Agreed. We're all standing here begging for the Dems to fight loud hard and UNRELENTING.
And more importantly in unison. Everyone on one coherent message
Yes preach!
Their job is to protect their constituents, but in real life, it's just to take Elon's money and kiss his orange buffoons "ring". It's disheartening to watch. Worse is that people will vote for them again!
This is what I’ve realized- they often get up and say (in session) a lot of things that we never ever hear about. So someone, or several may have done this already.
Dems suffer from a lot of people saying multiple things. The Fox News talk shows all hammer the same points which the elected leaders run with and amplify. MSNBC doesn't have that sway or focus. Many different themes per night.
Good point.
That’s not going to happen. You really need to read up on what their futures and rules are.
United States Military, you are sworn to uphold the constitution & defend the US against enemies both foreign & domestic. The GOP & Trump are violating our laws & Constitution. They are siding with our enemies! Where the fuck are you! Arrest these motherfuckers and end this fascist bullshit now!
Booker did
Oh, well not that second part. That’s also a good idea
Well, we got Booker on the former, not the latter.
We can’t even get all Dem Caucus to support removing clearer cut JimCrow/KKK prejudice with #DCstatehood. Shockingly only 43 so far. All Dems & Murkowski R-AK, Collins R-ME, & McConnell R-KY, so 50, voted against Hegseth for #SecDef in RCV 15 2025 #RCV15 PN11-7 #PN11_7. bsky.app/profile/npen...

I regret to inform you that they will not be doing anything even close to that. bsky.app/profile/jonr...
Well aware
And for RFK, Jr., Gabbard, Noam, Bondi - the whole Nazi cabinet.
Indeed
Better yet have them stand up and demand they enact the 14th amendment section 3. A simple majority and fire this garbage regime!!!
Sadly the majority doesn't see Jan 6th as an insurrection
The supreme court said the senate can do it (duh moment for them) and that orange shitstain has done more than enough to warrant it.
Yes, these Republican Senators knew what a horrible job Hegseth would do; knew how supremely unqualified the man was for the job of leading the largest military operation in the world, yet they blindly confirmed him anyway. They have no business governing our nation.
But her emails
That would be a dream come true
Yes. The Republicans didn't do their job of advise and consent. They just enabled a rape of the process.
48 crooked Corp Dems voted to confirm DT's picks. They all know they're all unqualified but bec their dirty those 48 Corp Dems take the same Corp money that Repubs take they protect their interest by voting w Repubs. The leaders of the party doesn't even mention the 48 Corp Dems that voted w repubs
I’d settle for the first
