@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social Well, I guess that means his staff will just be taking their calls or reading their emails. Just another one of these professional politicians who is constantly running for something, unopposed or in a contorted gerrymander. Hence the complete lack of empathy.

@marcelias.bsky.social Thank you for all of your amazing work! You’re not just a good lawyer, you’re a great lawyer, and with many of our GOP friends too scared to speak out or even stand up, we are the firewall of American democracy!

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social I would hope and I would think. One by one, though, I watch them—people I disagreed with—but still respected, because I thought they were men and women with principles, sit on their hands and say nothing. Which begs the question—did they ever believe ANY of them?

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social Despite all of his pictures where he tries to look respectable and like he knows what he’s doing, he looks like a diminished figure—lesser, smaller, more out of place than his predecessors. I’m surprised that a former Fox News cutie could not find better attire.

@marcelias.bsky.social Which is interesting because this GOP Senate would confirm anybody. They might as well change the national anthem to Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes.”

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social Mr. Hegseth is a reprobate who has a tenuous relationship with truth and honor. No one else has ever needed his mommy to save his cabinet nomination.

@murray.senate.gov “There’s a lot of disruption, but I would argue that that disruption was needed to be able to go in and scrutinize the record . . . “ But isn’t that, in fact, Joni Ernst’s job? Yet further abdication of her Constitutional roles. First, advice and consent. Now oversight.

@murray.senate.gov — It is unconscionable that some of your Senate GOP colleagues would just roll over on Tulsi Gabbard, who, at best, sympathizes with our biggest geopolitical adversaries. Abdicating their Constitutional role at meaningful advice and consent. Truly disappointing and disheartening.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social — if people could simply excuse themselves from transactions where there are conflicts of interest, there would be no need for statutes, regulations, and professional codes of conduct that govern such conflicts. That was a weak answer from someone in way over her head.

Susan Collins is a selectively principled politician. Oppose Pete Hegseth, but roll over for Tulsi Gabbard?
When I was young, my dad always told me, “do what is right, let the consequence follow.” I wish more people that you work with in the Senate would take and follow this counsel.

USAID isn’t some high minded philanthropic effort we do just to be nice. It’s in the national strategic interests of the United States to keep AIDS and Ebola in Africa at bay. And the executive branch doesn’t have the legal authority to abolish it with the flick of a Sharpie.

And why, Chuck Grassley, aren’t you talking about the sacking of the Inspectors General, which you’ve championed your whole career? Or standing up for the Constitution prerogatives of the legislative branch? Now, be honest. Did you ever REALLY believe in ANY of those things?

That’s what, in psychological parlance, is known as projection. And super rich coming from someone with citizenship in three countries. Guess which one is his third in order of preference?
