No on cloture! Donโ€™t believe that any Dem will pass under reconciliation. Keep your powder dry!

Glad to hear it, and donโ€™t vote for cloture, either! Donโ€™t listen to Schumer. That guy has got it all wrong!1

Good job, Merkley. Perhaps begin holding meetings with some of our fired / laid off federal workers. Get them to tell their stories and explain a little bit about their service to the country. Gather them together and put a microphone in front of โ€˜em.

Those jackasses are just pathetic. I guess their mama and daddy didnโ€™t raise them right, or something.

At least 600 workers to leave BPA, spurring concerns about transmission grid The Bonneville Power Administration, the regionโ€™s largest transmission grid operator, will lose at least 600 workers under President Donald Trumpโ€™s sweeping efforts to reduce the federal workforce.

Heard about this one today. I know youโ€™re both holding town halls, but wonder if those couldnโ€™t wait until the Musk/Trump crime cartel and coup has been stopped.

Errrr, not feeling it, what with the Musk/Trump crime cartel and coup raging. Wish you folks on the hill were as alarmed as us citizens are.

How is disturbed are you? The scale & impact of our constitutional crisis is so severe that you & your colleagues should be abusing parliamentary procedure to hold the floor in the House & the Senate until the coup ends. Get angry, get loud, break some rules. Repubs do it all the time, make them cry

You and your colleagues need to be speaking out every day. If the mainstream media wonโ€™t show up, then reach out to podcasters, etc. Those folks would be happy to give you a platform. Democrats really need their own press office.

Why arenโ€™t you & the rest of our Democratic Senators and Representatives holding press conferences to talk about the Musk and Trump constitutional crisis and crime wave? Simply posting on Bluesky isnโ€™t going to cut it, youโ€™re preaching to the choir, itโ€™s the rest of America that needs to hear this.

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov Iโ€™ve been pleased to seen Oregonโ€™s senators step up their game in opposition to Trumpโ€™s crime wave and constitutional crisis. However, something like what Simon is suggesting in this post is desperately needed ASAP. Many other good ideas in this thread.

Whereโ€™s your profile in courage, Chuck? I saw in todayโ€™s Politico that youโ€™re not planning to use a potential govt shutdown as leverage to get the Muskrats out of our government systems. Seems like capitulation.
