1. Good

Whatever happened to party disclipline on votes?

[Gore1FL]

2. Thank God.

The disconnect is astounding.

3. I'll never understand how one lone Republican senator can paralyze pretty much all Democratic nominees,

yet Senate Democrats can't even slow down, much less stop scumbags like Hegseth. We need someone like Tubberville on our side.

5. blocking or delaying Trump nominees

Schumer needs to learn from McConnell's strategy like he did during Obama's Presidency.

It seems to me that the only thing the Democrat politicians can do currently is send out requests for money.

[Nanjeanne]

4. From the article though it seems Schumer had

an answer for all their concerns so I don’t think he will do much to incorporate their suggestions and concerns.

[Think. Again.]

7. Thank You Dem Governors!

Keep up the noise!

Keep up the resistance!

Keep up the lawsuits!

Keep up the opposition!

IMPEACH!

8. I am so glad to see the Govs have stood up like this.

I agree that Schumer and the Dems in the Senate need to be acting more forcefully. They are on the front lines, and they need to hold the line for the American people.

[question everything]

9. I don't think that this is the way to go

It was Lindsey Graham, of all people, that I remember while discussing an Obama nominee saying that the president has the right to nominate his people. Obviously senators have to put their feet down when they debate RFK Jr., Gabbart and Patel, I hope.

We really are in a tit for tat with several actions because of the unique change of administrations these past 8 years but to vote against his nominees just because will come back and bite us in 2029.

11. This is not aa time to worry about things biting us in 2029. This is a time to worry about the US not existing in 2029.

[Scrivener7]

10. Huh. Imagine that.

But Chuck talked about eggs in front of a Rochester supermarket a few days ago. Surely that's enough communication for his desperate constituents, isn't it?

12. I emailed Schumer (my Senator) saying do good strategy BUt we Need Passion, too...

So many vunerable groups are being threatened.
