Schatz has been doing this since Januaryish, so finally really doesn't apply here. Just because you're finally hearing about it, doesn't mean it wasn't happening. The problem is that I can count the number of mainstream media stories about this on one hand in two months. The American people aren't being informed by the biggest outlets.---Jason
Oh, that means our media is not playing nice with us. We can get even with them too, and we should. One old tried and true method is to boycott all their advertisers. We don't need to buy name brands of anything.
With pets it's not hard to stay away from anything made by Purina. Purina has bought out almost every pet food you can think of, but there are still quite a few, low cost producers. Purina is owned by Nestle, which itself has bought out everything you can think of from Sara Lee to Swansons. They've denied an entire African village access to their own clean water so they could bottle it and sell it to all bottled water drinkers. Disgusting. There was a story about it on 60 Minutes a few years ago.
I try to avoid Purina products and use brands that my small specialty pet food store carries.
I feed my dogs The Farmer’s dog(I know it is expensive $ and a brand called My Perfect Pet which is a smallish company based in TX)
Although I try to avoid Purina at least their dog foods first ingredient is a protein unlike some brands whose first ingredient is corn which is a pretty useless carbohydrate.
Yup we need to make them feel boycotting, they hv to feel it for it to work . We hv to have hands and feet everywhere, but organized boycotts work 🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏾
We must support these efforts , and ask them to unite , form and infiltrate every single opening that they can, using people , the public to help derail, deter, delay, destroy, dismantle the veneer , undermine the illusion that we are helpless, powerless, we must resist the temptation to criticize any effort that might lead to relying on or looking to the liars in the corporate owned, oligarchy to do the job that we must do to save us from this crisis! Encourage every effort! , give everything we can to move these efforts / actions forward
I knew about this at the time, but finally! refers to putting them on more than just state department nominees, and senators doing it more broadly, not just him. A hold should have been put on every single nominee immediately. they are all terrible and unqualified without exception. even Rubio, who got 99 votes, didn't have the knowledge, experience or balls to tell that signal group chat that they needed to go to a secure location and get off their personal phones and a commercial app.
Sorry, I am an Irish Canadian interloper. Why were they bombing the Houthis? I Having grown up in Ireland during the troubles, I loathe militias, propaganda and rule by the gun and bombing of all kinds. Why exactly bomb the Houthis? Does Agent Orange also want Golf Courses on the Suez Canal? I know the official version, but what is the reason? I cannot mention truth and tRump, so what is the reason?
Or maybe he wasn’t concerned about the Signal app business? I think anyone who is willing to sully their name by hitching their wagon to the First Felon has major character flaws of their own.
We aren’t paranoid, sometimes I can’t believe that Trump is for real, trying to control us and what we listen to, sometimes I just can’t make sense of it when I hear him openly bully leaders of other counties or governors. It is not the world where we treat each other professionally without prejudice. I want somebody to slap me and yell “snap out of it”. It’s not really happening. You think how can I flip th script, guide my adult children and grandchildren to protect themselves against this chaos around them.
And if it means our senators have to get down and real dirty … damn it, then do it!! The Senate & House need to find ways to slow down the destruction of our democracy. For every executive order issued - Congress should find a way to block or slow something down … anything please!!!!
Yes!! Defy. Obstruct. Resist. Use every last tool at our disposal to stop this madness! The country is under a hostile takeover and we must respond accordingly!
It's about damn time. We must act exactly like McConnell did to President Obama and President Biden. Trumpy is putting in the Worst people and destroying the country. Dems need to shut them down.
Keep up the good work! Don't let them take a breath. In fact they need to put out articles of impeachment. It won't pass, but everyone needs to pick a day and do it.
It’s about time! We’ve all watched McConnell used the tool for years, it’s about time we quit sticking our head in the sand and ignoring what has been happening to the very fabric of our Constitution and government. It’s time we stopped going along to get along. Republicans have been hell bent to stop our ideology of “by the people for the people”!
Finally!

Which is why independent journalism is vitally necessary.
Thank you.

Minimizing what I purchase and trying to only use small locally owned businesses
Bit gotta’ feed the pets and the birdies and have nice plants in my pots and all that I can get at small locally owned businesses

I remember reading about using this tactic and wondered why it had not been implemented previously. Thanks for clearing that up. 💙
Thanks for that clarification.
Well he hasn’t done it on any nominations if consequence- has he? Like Hegseth, Noem, FBI, NSA, Sec of State, Attny General etc.???!!
"Finally" in the broader sense.
Fight, Fight, Fight
Bernie Sanders and AOC had another protest event in LA today- 36,000 people this year. Joan Baez anNeil Young participated

Finally the Democrats are awake!
Awesome keep fighting them any way you can.
And if it means our senators have to get down and real dirty … damn it, then do it!! The Senate & House need to find ways to slow down the destruction of our democracy. For every executive order issued - Congress should find a way to block or slow something down … anything please!!!!
Millions at rallies in US and other countries and now this?
How beautiful!!!!!
Yes!! Defy. Obstruct. Resist. Use every last tool at our disposal to stop this madness! The country is under a hostile takeover and we must respond accordingly!
Agree 👏👏👏👏👏💪🏻 to the democrat Senators
Keep up every opposition fighting move you can make. It’s time we show what will happen when we assert the will of the people.
It's about damn time. We must act exactly like McConnell did to President Obama and President Biden. Trumpy is putting in the Worst people and destroying the country. Dems need to shut them down.

Why the hell didn't they do this to stop Trump getting is lawless loyalists into key positions of power??
Good question!!
I was just wondering exactly the same thing! Glad they’re doing something now, but what took them so long?!?
