Goddamnit, both my Dem rep and senator voted Yes. WTF

Most likely they voted YEA due to inclusion of funds to rebuild the Key Bridge?

Fucking Schumer, you vast hill of chicken shit

oh hey look it's "we are making the bald eagle the national bird" and "we have to investigate these drones" both dipshits made the list I cannot even feign surprise at this point

and ossoff for that matter. smh

I asked Schumer about it and he sent me an email detailing how much he totally cares about protecting trans people, though!

It's not "I can't vote to hurt the military by withholding funding so I have to vote for the funding even though it will hurt trans people"; there are enlisted trans military personnel and there are enlisted people with trans family members, so you end up hurting the military either way.

I take a different approach. Trust a Democrat to be a liar and a thief with a golden tongue. They cannot dissapoint me because it's expected...that said they as a whole disgust me. A pox upon their names. May they be known for what they are. Traitors of the Marrow

So the fuck what?

Doesn't matter if they didn't have the votes. You don't vote on the fucking bill. "couple lines of anti-trans stuff" fuck you. Fuck you.

The problem with "compromise" in politics is that gradually the things you refuse to compromise on become fewer and fewer. The right goes farther right and the "left" follows them.

GOP has cornered Dems: be the party for minority issues that they will use to completely define Dems as in your kid returns from school surgically altered into another sex or be centrist. Similar to abortion, painting the Dems as afterbirth murderers. Does this explain their vote?

Defense contractors are the number 5 employer in RI and numbers 3, 4, and 5 in CT. The bluest electeds there will still vote for every military bill ever no matter who gets sacrificed.

Same, but it's not really shocking -- I write to my senators all the time, and his office responds to a lot of things, but pretty much NEVER to anything involving trans folks. He doesn't care.

These cowards look at a few polls and lose all sense of morality. AND they were probably pushed by the Pentagon when we give the military billions and billions.

These assholes deserve hell in their lifetimes

I'm especially disappointed in Tammy Duckworth, she's given lip service to LGBT issues her whole career, but when it comes time to show up or shut up her ass is quiet.

As a Transgender US veteran I feel betrayed

Silver lining in the rage I feel at reading this thread is it leading me to Anne Ursu's Bluesky account. Anyhow, time to follow suit and yell at our spineless senators!

That is A LOT 🤯

Both VA senators??? @kaine.senate.gov I door knocked for you! @markwarner.bsky.social this is unacceptable. The democratic base does not appreciate capitulation to republicans on trans rights or any other issue for that matter!

Fuck every Democrat on this list. Y'all are a disgrace.

@schumer.senate.gov, I'm your constituent and so disgusted with you. What happened to "Support the troops" and "Thank you for your service?" How dare you vote against giving trans* troops basic healthcare for their bodies and hearts?

I'm tired of getting canned fluff responses from Dick Durbin so I just sent an email that said "Retire you 80-year old loser"

Shaheen and Hassan are terrible, but so are most the people they represent. NH is Florida of the north

Shame on you @schumer.senate.gov. You are on the wrong side of history (and morality) on this one. I am so disappointed in you.

Goddammit. That sucks so hard.

I tried calling Duckworth's office yesterday about this but they were redirecting people to their online comment form (which I just used to register my disappointment). Durbin cosponsored an amendment to keep his care coverage so his vote is a reversal and extra disappointing.

Warnock and Ossoff, you absolute ASSHOLES.

Shame on all of them. It's repulsive. @senatedemocrats.bsky.social have been absent for 2 years, but they have the time and energy to vote against the trans community. Sickening.

I also submit to the list of shame: King (I-ME) who caucuses with the dems.

@warnock.senate.gov Religious leaders should not be voting to increase military spending

Very proud both our Oregon senators voted against, but fuck.

Senator @whitehouse.senate.gov: I deeply disappointed in you. Shame on you. Hurting vulnerable families to please reactionaries. Shame.

Oh good… fucking both of my senators…

done.

Wrote my senator. (the other's a lame duck).

why did Tester? he’s on his way out, he had nothing to lose! Whitehouse is usually on the right side of this stuff, too, very disappointing

This was a very disappointing list to read. I guess they felt like they needed to jump on the anti-trans bandwagon.

because they have no fucking spines. or because they really hate trans kids. its one or the other

Shame on you, Senator Padilla! You’re my senator, for whom I’ve voted, and I’m completely disgusted by you right now.

Probably a copy-and-paste error while making the list. In the Bluesky app if you copy-paste a link, and then delete the link from the text, the link itself still stays unless you X it out.

Ugh. Padilla will hear from me.

Murphy ain't off to a great start trying to capture the Left in 28

Yeah. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Why are you posting about real estate?

Murray? GODDAMMIT.
