Lay low or pound the table ?

2. When one of my dem senators was called out on the number of Trump noms he'd voted for

his response was that we have to work with the other side when we can. BULLSHIT!! You never give fascists quarter. Not one fucking bit.

I'm so disappointed in the Democratic Party right now. We need a unified voice of outrage from the Party about the destruction of our government & democracy instead of the handful of reps & senators speaking out that are drown out by the silence of the others.

When it comes to Senate floor votes, neither Hickenlooper nor Bennet has heeded the activists’ calls. They have been among the Senate Democrats most likely to back Trump’s Cabinet picks, voting to confirm eight and 10 nominees, respectively, out of the 21 selected so far.

A more comprehensive database tracking 2025 Senate votes, including votes on lower-level appointees, procedural motions and legislation, tells a similar story. The tracker, maintained by Massachusetts-based progressive organizer Jonathan Cohn, tallied 155 votes by the full Senate through March 27.

When collated with 2024 election results, this vote data shows a clear, unsurprising pattern: Senate Democrats representing swing states are more likely than those in safe blue seats to cross the aisle and back Trump’s nominees and legislative priorities. For example, Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona — elected narrowly in a state that Trump won by more than 5 percentage points last year — has voted with Republicans almost 33% of the time in 2025, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren of deep-blue Massachusetts has done so just 3% of the time.

The single biggest exception to this rule? Colorado and its moderate Senate duo, who have voted with Trump and their GOP colleagues roughly a quarter of the time while representing a state that voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris by 11 percentage points in the 2024 election.

* Note: I believe Hick voted for 10 & Bennet voted for 8, not the other way around.
