Lot's of handwringing...No concrete action...just keep on voting for the GOP's budgets. Our Senator, Jeanne Shaheen, the wrong person for the moment.

And yet you keep voting to keep this government open and funded. Blood is on your hands too, Senator.

More speeches, less action. Our Senator, Maggie Hassan. Probably queuing up to vote with republicans again on a new budget that funds ICE.

Poppycock! Your anachronistic, ineffective, and weak approach in the face of the Republican power consolidation, malfeasance, and untrustworthiness torpedoes, for a second time, the will of the people to push back against the existential threat that we face today. Where is your leadership?

Free speech is dead. RIP First Amendment. At least Chuck Schumer is "outraged". That steely-eyed stare over the low-slung reading glasses ought to fix it.

Here's hoping the jackasses who voted for this knucklehead decide to open up factories and find plenty of ultra-high-efficiency workers to staff them before Christmas...or a lot of folks are going to get a lot less this year. Ironically, at least ICE will be well funded...(that's sarcasm).

Looking it up - these new duties will impact most products by 10-40%, depending on the product and its country of origin. This is going to crush international e-commerce.

Meanwhile…the administration is destroying the foundation of our democracy, with cruelty and wonton corruption. You need to be speaking truth to power to your republican districts. Every day. (I support the awareness campaign, but there is no addressing sexual assault in an authoritarian state)

“Will”?! When “will” you start spelling out specific solutions to fix how Americans are suffering (right now, today) and stop talking about these over generalized “billionaire tax breaks” without offering answers that folks can see impacting their lives directly.

1. This is a solution in search of a problem. 2. Trump will trade tariff reductions and exemptions for favors to benefit his favored (billionaires). 3. Trump will offer targeted relief for the suffering he is causing, use that to claim a "victory," and shore up his base.
