AI has given me two very wrong answers in the last little while, so I still don't trust it at all!

Agree about Schumer for sure.

Sigh, true the rest. Per the Guardian: "None of the Democratic senators who voted yes on Sunday’s procedural motion are up for re-election in 2026. Two of them... [Durbin & Shaheen] are retiring next year, while the earliest that any of the others would face a challenge would be in 2028."

If that was true then Durbin would have voted for it. I doubt both NH senators are retiring for one!

Markey didn't vote for it and his other account posted his anger about it. But he needs to be pressured to oust the leadership!

The problem with the party is the leadership who didn't keep the 8 traitors from voting with the GOP. NH needs two new senators! As does NV. Two other votes were Dems in name only, who should be thrown out really, and there's more.

Call Markey and tell him that! I did. If you live in another Dem senator state, call them!

While Kaine & Fetterman were fake Dems like Manchin, NH has a huge problem and Maine too.

Sadly he is retiring. Which makes it worse, since he had nothing to lose if he stood up for you!

Exactly. He had nothing to lose by voting against it. Which makes his ethics REALLY questionable!
