Well, #ShutDownTheSenate should have been operating principle for months … with no unanimous consent …
The damage was going along with immortalizing Kirk. Letting it go through was/is symbolic of Senate Dems repeatedly ceding ground without a fight.

The systematic nature of @democrats.org leadership failures to recognize the times & act accordingly forces one to wonder if they are just politically inept, cowards, and/or willing collaborators for Trump's fascist agenda.

as @democrats.senate.gov (led by @schumer.senate.gov ) vote for Trump nominees/bills & then send "stern letters" as if that is meaningful against Team Trump's imposition of fascism.
It is months past time to #ShutDownTheSenate & stop acting as normalcy exist.

Trump is sending natl guard in cities, arm forces are killing people in the carrabean w/ questionable legal authority yet almost every Sen Dem leader incl. Schumer, Durbin, Murray, Klobuchar voted to advance a defense spending bill yesterday.

And, to a large degree, the @democrats.org are failing in flailing.
We are tired of smug statements about “stern letters” while @schumer.senate.gov leads from behind and fascist Trump’s nominees keep getting Senate Dem votes to confirm.

A big opportunity is coming up for Sen Dems this Sept when Rs come to them for their votes to keep the govt open - the one that has unleashed forces to occupy DC, LA and looking to do more - funded.
Now would be time for Ds to use their leverage to rein in this regime. They don't have much to lose.

Six weeks out from the government funding deadline, many Senate Democrats are in the process of convincing themselves they have no choice but to cave. One of their main rationales will be a bad read of mostly irrelevant history. In truth they’re just scared of the unknown.

I don't really need answers tbh I need accountability. I need consequences.
Sen. Chuck Schumer: "I just saw something that sickened my stomach; the manhandling of a United States Senator. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on."

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.
This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.
