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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
