I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that the chamber leader can prevent the minority party from calling for hearings.
We know that #unholymike pulled procedural bullshit to hamstring House Dems re: pushback on tariffs. From the excellent @hcrichardson.bsky.social's Sub today:

When I searched for David Hogg (well-know US activist), I found sev. ppl with similar names--but not the person I was seeking.
And when I typed "@" followed by his name, he didn't show in the list of people w/ that (or a similar) name
Can you look into/fix this? Thx.

This brings to mind a still from one of the best movies of the 1930s, "Holiday" -- a romantic comedy that's also a meditation on nonconformity and on wealth as something other than everyone's ultimate goal.

OT-ish, but: If you've not seen this extremely funny Irish show, created by Chris O'Dowd, I strongly recommend it. The description doesn't do it justice; it really is worth watching.

Re: the #cloture vote: The holdouts, as of this afternoon, were thought to be Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.
Blast 'em here, and call 'em. Find ph. nos. by searching their last name + 202-224 (the first 3 digits of Sen offices).

The q? is "What do ultraweathy gain?" Look at Russia: A few ppl hv obscene wealth in return for supportg putin.
Break the US govt = privatize ev'thing, so a few oligs. gain. And, the non-oligs. (like Vought) will gain from makg US a patriarchl white Christian nation.
Pls read ths (paywall--sorry):

My only quibble: Anger/aggression are part of ev. human; the issue is, do we dischrg it neutrally or destrctvly? 40+ yrs of GOP wealth grab created massv pain+anxiety. Most ppl trnsfrm anx. into anger (bc anx. is de-powerng). Shrewd, deeply neurotic GOPs hv exploited that, pulled in voters via lies.

Call #thune,#collins, #murkowski, #mcconnell, #cassidy, #wicker & any vaguely sane #GOP. Tell them that GOP will pay at the polls not only in #midterms but for years if they don't stop assaultg the #middleclass. They are *seriously* failing to read the room.

Context implied that it's Cook: Appeard in "Fry&Laurie Reunited," in brief section abt stars who had been in Footlights. Thx.

Please call as many #GOP reps and sens as you can, and pressure them to honor their oath, bc if they don't, the resultant chaos will cost them voters; they'll be out of power not just in 2026 but for years.
Please ask everyone you know to do so, too.

You seem not to grasp that every demog. group is so varied that blanket assertions are harmful, not helpful.
Wd you also say, "All Black ppl / all women / all trans ppl / etc. do or are _____"?
Ah, well. Perhaps you'll become wiser with the passing of time.

When a #manchinema closes, a #fetterman opens.
Tell Fetterman (I got voiceml in Harrisburg) to do his duty to constituents/all Murkans by protecting our safety & by upholdng the Constitution.
ALL Dems need to say NO to #GOP until it STOPS breaking laws + gets #elno out of our #data + #checkbook.
