Wonkette · Congressional Librarians Tell Trump 'Appointees' To Wrong Branch Of Government To Get F*ckedBy Marcie Jones

#DEMOCRATIC #SENATORS have got to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk!

#CONGRESSIONAL #DEMOCRATS must #SUBPOENAELONMUSK!

#DEMS must hold their own public probes of #ElonMusk #Musk #DOGE in front of cameras, even if the hearings are in a broom closet at the #US #Capitol!

#SheldonWhitehouse #AmyKlobuchar #DickDurbin #ChrisCoons #ChuckSchummer and #TammyDuckworth, to name a few, have been talking tough for years while slow walking #USA into #FASCISM hand in hand with #Republicans.

The #DemocraticParty had #4YEARS to #PROBE #JaredKushner and #IvankaTrump and the #2BILLION #Kushner and #Trump illegally acquired from #SaudiArabia yet they did #NOTHING!

#SENATE DEMOCRATS #FAILED to hold even #1HEARING on #DonaldTrump #Trump #CRIMES WHILE IN OFFICE!

The #FAIL of #JoeBiden and #MerrickGarland's #DOJ is matched only by the #FAILURE of #SENATEDEMOCRATS!

DEM SENATORS have proven they care more about maintaining the #StatusQuo than #Justice and #Liberty for #All.

#SUBPOENAMUSK!

civicshout.comTell Congressional Republicans: No One Voted for Elon MuskRepublicans in Congress just narrowly avoided a disastrous government shutdown—one that Elon Musk actively worked to bring about. Earlier in the week, Musk inserted himself into federal budget negotiations, using his platform to push misinformation and pressure Republicans to oppose essential funding legislation. His reckless and uninformed interference risked the livelihoods of millions of Americans. Musk’s meddling is a stark reminder of the dangers of unaccountable billionaires influencing our government. With no experience in governance and little understanding of how federal policies work, Musk has no business dictating decisions that impact Social Security payments, air travel, and the paychecks of hundreds of thousands of federal workers. Yet some Republican lawmakers were willing to listen to Musk’s delusional rants over the needs of their own constituents. Musk’s behavior isn’t just irresponsible—it’s dangerous. His reckless lies and ill-informed opinions could have derailed our economy and thrown countless Americans into uncertainty right before the holidays. We cannot allow one man’s whims to hold the government hostage or jeopardize the well-being of millions. For the sake of the American people, Republicans must stop pandering to Elon Musk and start prioritizing the voters they were elected to serve. Letting a self-serving billionaire dictate national policy is not leadership—it’s an abdication of responsibility. We call on Republican lawmakers in Congress to stop listening to Elon Musk’s lies and focus on serving their constituents. The government must work for the people—not billionaires with dangerous agendas. Sign this petition to demand that lawmakers stand up to Musk and put the needs of the American people first. Let’s make it clear: no one voted for Elon Musk.

#Politics #VPOTUS

This morning, the #TalkingHeads started saying that #Harris only chose #Walz over #Shapiro because it was the "safe" choice.

Now, they're saying that it was the "smart" choice.

IMO, it was always the SMARTER choice.

Shaprio isn't going anywhere & he'll be in #PA as governor to support the #HarrisWalz ticket. So, Harris didn't need Shapiro to win in #PA.

However, Walz can help Harris with the #disaffected #white #male #bluecollar & #rural voters who are unhappy with #Drumpf (but didn't see another choice until now) not only in PA but also in the #Midwest (where he's from) & across the country in red & purple districts & states which could also benefit the Dems in Congressional & Senate races, not just the race for #POTUS .

Note that, Walz was a #Dem who represented a rural #GOP
#Congressional district for over a decade.

Shaprio would have ONLY helped Harris in PA & he would have alienated the type of voters Walz is more likely to attract.

So, Walz was definitely the SMARTER choice!
