Bernie is all that! He’s getting ready to retire, but he’s fighting Trump’s regime tooth and nail! Thank you Bernie for doing what others are afraid to do! We love you!

He is right (thank you, Senator Sanders); Musk is in charge and must be held accountable for his actions. Republicans must see how these actions regarding Vets and Social Security will impact millions of Americans. It will also impact Republicans at the polls if they continue to do nothing.

If Trump privatizes Social Security (God forbid), I want the money I paid into it for almost 40 years back. We all should start screaming loud that we are owed this money.

That’s only fair. But also including the correct percentages of interest that amount collected over the years it was held!!!

I admire Senator Sanders and wish other Democratic senators would also stand up for the people. Republican senators just don’t represent Republicans in their district. They also represent Democrats.

I'd like to know what my senators are doing. Murray and Cantwell both hard working and long term representatives. I saw that Murray was going to give the speech a miss but haven't seen Cantwells name at all. They should not be afraid for their mandates. They are well liked here.

I would appreciate senators and other representatives from western states to be publicizing the effects on the Federal forested lands of firing employees. Not only do these employees (direct and contract) support recreational use, one of the other multiple uses of these lands is identifying and suppressing fire. I recommend less time and money in a western red state adjacent to WA/OR/CA if fires cannot be suppressed. Coastal states will be safer.

Thank you for acknowledging those who are pushing back. They need affirmation and support to maintain the fight in all of the chaos!

Rarely is Bernie Sanders wrong! How can you have a fake department with a fake department head, that cannot be investigated? That’s why he got rid of all the I Gs right away. It’s terrifying.

Bernie needs us to stand with him and not give up.

If the laid-off Social Security employees who are over 62 figure they can apply for Social Security benefits...well, good luck with that. It's like trying to open the car door when you've locked the keys inside. Although in this case someone else locked the door.

And there’s no calling road service to remedy the lockout.

Bernie Sanders is a good Senator. He consistently works on behalf of the people of the US. I was a Bernie Girl when he ran for President.

Go get 'em, Bernie! This is what we need from the Dems in Congress. Yes, it's futile while the MAGAs hold the power, but if every single Dem in every committee would make an attempt, it all goes in the Record. It all uses up time. It all slows them down. That's all we can do but it's. not nothing!

Plus, how can the Republican senators not see that this IS all going to blow up in their faces? They must be terrified of Thing 1 and Thing 2.
