Block them! Use every single tool in your toolbox to slow down DJT’s march to consolidating power. On a scale from 1-10, with 10 being full blown fascism, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an expert on authoritarianism, said the U.S. was at 7 a few weeks ago. The GOP senators are complicit. No appeasement!

Barrasso should cry harder

Barrasso whines about the lack of voice or unanimous consent confirmations because he doesn’t want to accept responsibility for Trump’s lousy nominees. Why is he trying to avoid accountability?

Why aren't you calling for Schumer to step down as minority leader?

Which nominees are you currently most concerned about?

Wait so Schumer is doing something for once? That's unexpected.

I was pleasantly surprised as well!

So nice of Barrasso to advertise Dem Party achievements!! Please make sure your supporters know all about this because we love to see obstruction to all things Trump.

WSJ Opinion is not a serious outlet.

Keep going! Block it all! Dem base is behind this tactic and want to see it supercharged!

They seem to suffer from selective amnesia.

Mention of Garland reminds me more of this story www.cnn.com/2023/06/19/p...

got that right, Senator Murphy

Why wouldn’t these nominations be blocked?? Most of them just boldly lie during their confirmation hearings… see Patel, Bondi, Hegseth, Gabbard. And don’t even get me started on Little Marco…🙄🙄

Please reassert congress as a equal third branch

Check in with Tuberville entirely blocking all military promotions because....why? Nobody knew but that is what he did. Write about that WSJ.

its controlled opposition trying to make democrats think chuck finally gets it becasue look how effective! like they did w pelosi. who in the end was the bst friend the nazis ever had in the demoratic party this side of manchin

“Now do McConnell”, you mean.

Bless his heart. Mitch McConnell started the conversion of the Senate to the Chamber of Futility, and Peepaw Trump has finished it off. Don't blame Dems for this one.

But Chuck is doing nothing....ah, wait a minute. Guess the progressive attack dogs don't understand that people resist in different ways. After all, that attitude is what got us here. And, yeah, Chris, and to the Dumbublicans, payback is a bitch, ain't it.

I think Merrick Garland has been involved in enough slow rolling, thank you. And by that I mean how he waited like 2 years to bring charges up on Trump for Jan 6

Trying to shame them is a waste of time.

I encourage every Democratic Senator to blockage every damn nominee of dic-traitor trump! Throw sand in the gears to slow down these filthy fascist thugs!

@schumer.senate.gov keep up the good work! Blockade the hell out the dic-traitor's nominees!!!

And Tuberville.

Hahahah

Barasso must have the memory of a nail. McConnell was doing this all the time, and on Hannity's show chuckled that he'd left so many open for Trump 1 to fill.

Yay chuck shumer!! Glad to hear it.

Now do John Roberts. Garland’s DOJ had two cases against Trump. Roberts court shut them down.

That’s… not the point here. GOP senator is crying that Dems are obstructing Trump’s nominees. Murphy pointed that Republicans blocked Garland’s nomination to SCOTUS for a year.

Yeah, but given the headline, he should have written “Now do McConnell”.

Garland waited two years to even start anything meaningful because he was worried about the DOJ appearing “too political”

Nice point. But re @schumer.senate.gov, *if* he caves and again votes to give the fascist Trump regime the budget it demands, will you call for his replacement as minority leader? We don’t need a minority leader that does the work of the majority. Please enlist your caucus and be ready.

Womp womp

Bailey-Approved✔️

Link?

You mean @schumer.senate.gov the AIPAC stool?

This could mean so many things 🍿

Isn't Schumer off somewhere selling books to excuse Israel's genocide in Gaza or is he having luxury dinner with Trump and Republicans? Time for a new Senate Minority leader. bsky.app/profile/joem...

Merrick is probably enjoying retirement, awaiting the inevitable DOJ investigation into his handling of the actual crimes of the current President, after moving like a snail to indict over 2 and a half years. If Schumer is also, moving at a snail's pace - come out and and say so!
