NOT NORMAL — Democrats need to shut down the Senate. Everything. Block / delay every damn thing. [1]

Enough with the 20-30 Democrats voting for many of these cabinet nominees. Enough with the pleasantries to their Republican friends, pleading for them to find the “courage” to reject a drunkard, alleged rapist, white nationalist, supporter of war criminals, bigot and manifestly unqualified and unfit party scumbag. (Psssst, Democrats — they didn’t) Enough even with the fiery questions in these hearings the unanimous opposition to POS like Hegseth and, presumably folks like Patel and Kennedy and Gabbard z. Better, but not sufficient. Not even close.
Not when the federal government is systematically and intentionally being destroyed from within. Employees terrorized and harasssed. Science and expertise being decapitated. This latest purge of the FBI screams for more than stern letters and wagging fingers.
I would also note that even if all this shit about the FBI turns out be more for show than anything else and at least in part a false alarm — and to be clear, I don’t think that’s the case— but for the sake of argument, even if it does, much of the damage will already have been done. The fear. The intimidation.
You can’t campaign on a message that Trump is a true threat democracy, see in the first 11 days that if anything that was a grotesque understatement …… and then act like everything is fucking normal. News flash — it isn’t.
Shut the f-cking Senate down. Every single day. Every week. Press conferences every single day. Rallies in your states. And in neighboring red states, where yes, independents and democrats still live.
Allegedly you are leaders.
Start acting like it.
