#DEMOCRATIC #SENATORS have got to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk!

#CONGRESSIONAL #DEMOCRATS must #SUBPOENAELONMUSK!

#DEMS must hold their own public probes of #ElonMusk #Musk #DOGE in front of cameras, even if the hearings are in a broom closet at the #US #Capitol!

#SheldonWhitehouse #AmyKlobuchar #DickDurbin #ChrisCoons #ChuckSchummer and #TammyDuckworth, to name a few, have been talking tough for years while slow walking #USA into #FASCISM hand in hand with #Republicans.

The #DemocraticParty had #4YEARS to #PROBE #JaredKushner and #IvankaTrump and the #2BILLION #Kushner and #Trump illegally acquired from #SaudiArabia yet they did #NOTHING!

#SENATE DEMOCRATS #FAILED to hold even #1HEARING on #DonaldTrump #Trump #CRIMES WHILE IN OFFICE!

The #FAIL of #JoeBiden and #MerrickGarland's #DOJ is matched only by the #FAILURE of #SENATEDEMOCRATS!

DEM SENATORS have proven they care more about maintaining the #StatusQuo than #Justice and #Liberty for #All.

#SUBPOENAMUSK!

Continued thread

Sen #SheldonWhitehouse (D-RI) told the audience at the #security conference that there was a “bipartisan reservoir of determination” in the #Senate behind an effort to stop the #war: “For the Senate, there is a strong majority, supermajority, in favor of supporting #Ukraine, seeing this through & making sure that this does not come off as a win for #Putin & embolden him further.”

[good luck with that. #Trump doesn’t give a damn what the Senate thinks.]

Insurrectionist Kashyap Patel invoked the Fifth Amendment privilege to avoid self-incrimination during legal proceeding related to the #January6th insurrection and related criminal investigations. The Fifth Amendment can be invoked to avoid Self-Incrimination, to refuse to answer questions or provide testimony that will incriminate them in a crime. He pled the 5th to avoid giving the prosecution evidence that would be used against him in criminal prosecutions that could lead to Patel's conviction. This is who republicans put in to OUR FBI! 🚨

Why did Kash Patel invoke the 5th amendment privilege?

One Democrat to watch: Sen. #SheldonWhitehouse (D-Rhode Island), an old friend & roommate of #RFKJr [makes you wonder if he saw the blender]. There’s been some speculation that Whitehouse will support Kennedy, particularly because he hasn’t denounced him. Whitehouse told reporters this week that “people just need to kind of chill” about his potential vote, saying that he has never telegraphed a vote before a hearing.

Replied in thread

@mttaggart Let's not forget Dem Whitehouse, who may vote to confirm RFK Jr. due to their 'long friendship'.

Rhode Island may want to reconsider the someone whose unrepentant 'friend' is responsible for the deaths of 83 people on Samoa, many of them children.

TPM - Talking Points Memo · Dems Worry Sen. Whitehouse Considering Vote for RFK JrBy Josh Marshall

"Instead, they see exactly what you just pointed out which is; here are billionaires giving to Democrats, here are billionaires giving to Republicans, it's all a racket. Nobody's interested in me, to hell with it, let's vote for the biggest disruptor.

And that's why you end up with a charlatan criminal like Trump as .. next President."
