Who do these bastards think they are? They forcibly detained a United States senator at a press conference because he had a question to ask?

This!

Please talk to a few colleagues across the aisle and come up with a plan. Because some of us who have backgrounds in particular areas-- history, comparative polities, human rights, international relations or others--can see pretty well what's happening.

Well, Sen Coons, perhaps if you reviewed your record you would note how you helped facilitate this slide toward autocracy by enabling incompetent and unqualified nominees among many other bills that helped YOU but not democracy.

"...What is happening?" - you're giving democracy away with your feckless cowardice!

Ahh, he's "gravely concerned" a la Susan Collins, so there's that!🙄

Wow, he's gravely....!!!

Goons is a dedicated Trump ally, like much of the bulwarks staff.

She could have stoped it.

About time he got gravely concerned.

Pretty sure this ends with him asking me for three dollars to save democracy

planning on attending the picnic, Senator Coons?

##TheFascistTrumpRegimeMustGo Now!! Impeach. Convict. Remove. ImpeachTrumpAgain.org

Just saw Sarah Longwell speaking to the Senator Padilla situation. She’s terrific. Her righteous outrage should be echoed by us all.

SAVE IT

Awesome that you are going to subpoena those pigs to answer questions under oath..... oh wait....

this dickhead hobbled impeachment hearings because he had holiday plans

You all didn’t fight to get Kamala elected

Then why did you ignore a coup? Someone explain this. They had one fucking job. Arrest all of them.

Is it earned by flooding the country with illegals?

The men who manhandled, shoved and handcuffed our United States Senator Padilla, must be arrested, removed from their positions and prosecuted. If we do not insist on this, then others will continue to do likewise. Make them an example so all understand “I was following orders” IS NOT an excuse.

What's happening is you guys are standing around with your thumbs up your asses trying to engage in traditional bipartisanship while a fascist regime assaults, jails, and abuses anyone they don't like.

The Republican Party is now the American Nazi Party. 100% fascist, with not even the slightest pretense of democratic values.

I called

If you don't know what is happening, what are the rest of us supposed to surmise about all this bullshit. Come on.

Shut the Senate down. Stop voting for Trump’s nominees.

Senator Coons: ~Sees families, faces, and communities shattered by ICE agents and rubber bullets, across the country: 🤷‍♂️ ~Sees one old RICH guy get roughed up a bit: 🤯🤯🤯 "WOAH HEY NOW STOP THAT'S AN EXPENSIVE SUIT"

What's happening is we are in a full-blown police state with a dictator instead of a president.

We cannot afford to pontificate on the reasons to keep our democracy…..we need our leaders to come together, plan strategize & act in bold ways to stop this INSIDE COUP…..leaders need to engage the moderate GOP…..while at the same time investigating those who are breaking the law….Noem for starters

GOP are flirting with an IMPERATIVE to stay in power. Their complicity in the outrageous, vengeful behavior of this Adm. may well push the Democratic base to demand reciprocity from any future Democratic Adm. “Better Angels” have their limits. And “cycles of trauma” HAPPEN.

I’m so proud of him. I am so disgusted in all our representatives that will not stand up for the American people. Those people are useless traitors!

What’s happening? Project 2025. It’s the script, he should read it.

I think we all know what is happening? The real question is what are these people in power going to do to stop it? 🦗🦗🦗

Well, some of us see a coup happening.

👏👏👏

Another speech. No action, just prattle. This is why the US is in the toilet. Prattle does nothing to deter fascism. NOTHING.

GOP.gov are a bunch of cowards!!!

At this point all I hear from most Dems is BLAH BLAH BLAH Now I get how my cats feel when I talk

Republicans are stealing our money and our democracy. Fire them all.

“What are we, those of us with real levers of power, doing? Nothing.”

People grow up. Republicans don't want democracy or majority rule because they are a minority which is shrinking. The @GOP House and Senate wants a dictator that will hurt and the marginalized, and then the mainstream. Now that you know that, what will you do?

What is happening? A full facist takeover of the government is what's happening. Inside the ugly BBB is a section which makes ignoring court rulings of contempt basically a fait accompli. If that gets signed off it really is game over.

It’s gone honey. We waited too long.

It's not a gift . . . it's hard won. And because it's hard won, it needs to be preserved and protected by that same grit, devotion, & determination. Sen. Coons & the other congressional Dems need to fight just as hard as the citizens, who are protesting WITH ACTION, and not with word salad outrage.

What is happening, sir, is no one was held accountable for coup attempt #1 so the nazi Republicans decided to do it again. And, they are succeeding.

Would be cool if these people started taking Trump seriously back in, I dunno 2016. For sure after Jan 6!

#ImpeachNoem

Shut down the senate or shut up

Who the F cares about any of these ppl. They could have voted to throw him out of office when he as Impeached.

Yes, Sen. Coons, WHAT is happening?

Noem needs to Resign ASAP.

It is not normal that we have had 2 Democratic members of congress arrested for just advocating for their constituents and districts

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the US. We will destroy you from within.”

The fact that there is no one else in the chamber says a lot about America's system of government. Can you imagine how such an event would go down in a Parliamentary system?

www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...

Maybe... just maybe, take a stance like Senator Padilla did and stand up and confront the people that are destroying democracy. Podium rants are meaningless.

Dear Sentor Coons, please do not do the Susan Collins 'concern' rhetoric. You know what has happened; The Trump regime is full authoritarian. It is quickly consolidating total power. You and your colleagues must do something beyond speech lest, very soon, but one drastic choice will be left.

They don’t care! They’ll do this to all of you! We need sympathetic military leaders to assist in removing them, ASAP!!!!

They cannot just take turns giving speeches and repeating the same worn out platitudes. They need to do real things. Right now.

A lot of people were “gravely concerned about our path forward in this body and our nation” when @coons.senate.gov pushed to end the January 6th impeachment trial quickly because some Democrats wanted to get home for Valentine’s Day. That institutional shrug helps get Merrick Garland as AG.

The hell do you mean “what is happening?!” We can see what’s happening! DO something!!!

All because Fred Trump didn't use condoms. #RemoveTrump #AmericaIsADictatorship #FuckTrump #FuckElon #FuckRussia #FuckTheFarRight #FightTheFarRight #BoycottTesla #BanXInCanada #DeleteX #NotThe51stState #CanadaIsNotForSale #HandsOff #RussiaIsATerrorState #StopTheBillionaireBailout #NoMedicaidCuts

shut the senate down

Where is Schumer? When is the Senate shut down without a quorum?

Democracy has been thrown into the ditch of despair and Republicans are very happy that this is occurring.

Republicans have allowed this and it’s on them!!

They’re holding Democrats hostage. Their only play is to do the same. Decorum is over. Treat this with this as the emergency it deserves.

Call them out Congress is a war zone now

Not shakin enough to walk out of that fucking building and get a protest going

Stop talking ! Go out and stand up for your State ! And Put them all to shame ! Get arrested peacefully Time for GOOD TROUBLE

Can’t any democrats get on Fox and talk actual truths? Or are they not invited?

Democracy is also a gift that we, as its members, must work hard to maintain. What I see is a lot of people shrinking away from that hard work or worse, abdicating their responsibilities altogether in deference to maintaining either their power or their wealth or a sickening combination of the two.

Stop whining start doing something. The Senate is full of useless cowards unfit to meet the moment.

Then do something beside vote with them!!! Shut the sent down! Grow a pair

If he doesn’t know it’s time to pass the baton

Yes! Yes! This!! More! Public! MSM! Social media-- Everywhere! Now!

I'm addition it can act as a deterrant... But here Al Green says it better than I can. Please read: bsky.app/profile/algr...

As things get worse there will be more and more pressure to get Trump out. I concede Impeachment will probably fail in the short term, but it will raise awareness on how lawless the GOP has become. If you aren't advocating for impeachment then what is your suggestion? I'm not down with violence.

👏 *We also need one of those angry Al Gore speeches right now. He just shakes people to their core with his righteous anger.

What is happening? Dem leaders are behaving like panic-stricken children, wetting their pants and dealing in insane hyperbole and absurd political street theatre. Calm the eff down. Focus. Use your brains, not your sphincter muscles. Priority one: raise taxes on the rich.

You wanted to go home for Valentine's day and here we are. That is what's happening.

He will do nothing. Rinse and repeat with each new atrocity.

What’s happening is the Republican Party is showing their true colors and they’re not red white & blue no matter what they SAY.

Senator Valentine, you are wayyyy late to this realization.

Maybe we should send him a cane.

Why are the people the only ones who seem to realize we are are at defcon 5 with these fascists?

He knows what’s happening.

I'm not shaken. My resolve is on fire right now. Show me my opponent.

I am predicting he will. I hope I am wrong.

Apparently democracy was always just on the Honors System. Republicans decided they would no longer have honor.

Oh he sure looks angry. 🙄 it’ll be up to the citizens of this country to end this bullshit.

I am outraged and angry too,

What is happening? IMHO maybe start with the mental atate of ( Conflict Avoidance)_the conscious decision by individuals to refrain from engaging in disagreements or confrontations.. What say ye ( Merrick Garland ).. Taking the high road has lost to ( cousin fuckers )..

This guy here shut down impeachment of trump that’s what happened. Make him own it

I saw the video.I was shook. I was appalled. I cant properly convey my disgust Imagine the Dem Party treating gop members this way Its a direct and flagrant assault on not him, but on our institutions The gop needs to stop this. Because if they don’t. Realize. They won’t always be in power

Democrats need to stop making believe they have colleagues the other side of the aisle. I don’t give a good damn what they whisper to you, they’re all in for Trump. Wake the fuck up. Stop being so naive.
