Can we also get a forensic audit of the vote in battleground states to ensure nothing nefarious happened? Especially after machines were breached in 2021 and 2022.
Wow, don’t think they have been “ineffective “ look at all that has been accomplished and FIXED following the enormous mess that the criminal created and left behind. Look at all the obstruction from the repubs that had to be overcome. You’re entitled to your one opinion of course BUT I disagree. Kind of like saying we got what we wanted with the criminal… Neither I nor anyone I know and still speak to voted for this and frankly do not deserve it. IMHO
They can also begin preliminary confirmation hearings on his picks (per Norm Ornstein)
Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term
Judiciary on Matt Gaetz's corruption and repeated sexual offenses. Homeland Security on Kristi Noem's lack of qualifications and corruption of office in SD, Tom Homan's sadistic and illegal child separation. HELP Committee on RFK's lunatic theories
Armed Services on Pete Hegseth being bounced from the military for extremism, ties to white nationalism, plans to hollow out the military. All this will be whitewashed when the GOP takes the majority. Preempt them!
What can WE do to add to the pressure? Assuming calling Dick Durban’s office. I am planning on calling the White House to: end the death penalties for convicts on death row, pardoning Leonard Peltier…and Hunter of course…there are so many potentially dangerous items on the menu, and time is short.
Did I say, “Thank you”? I truly mean it. You are a beacon in the darkness.
Thank You AG! They need to move quickly and be Firm that this not negotiable!!And also there should be no time off from now to Jan 2025! Lot of work to do!Judges , Judges…
The “principled” Democrats always play by the rules - that is their downfall - and this will be the downfall of our country if they don’t roll up their sleeves and punch back.
The Republicans are betting that the Dems won’t fight back!
Biden should release Russia’s frozen assets to the Ukrainians, release all of Jack Smiths information, and declare that in the best interest of our country - he should remain in power since SCOTUS said he was immune from official acts - and then step down and hand it over to Harris
(ya, I know the last one won’t happen - but I can dream - can’t I?)
Expecting old fossils like Durban to deviate from their ideas of comity and tradition is useless. I can't wait for a new generation of leaders ready to fight.
Not him specifically but this idea that the old school, proper approach will carry us up & out is what got us here...as far back as my twitter days, voters have been asking Dems politicians to push, punch toughen up‼️yes an intellect crew, so smart we saw this coming and NEVER toughened, adapted!!! & yes ... if trump were in Bidens shoes ...HUNTER WOULD ALREADY BE PARDONED‼️ PLEASE‼️ GET TO IT‼️
All of your requests SHOULD be what the Democratic Party would do ANYWAY based on the corruption of Trump and the Republican Party. However, I have been so disappointed by the Democrats and their total weakness in keeping voters informed to the total corruption to allowing SCOTUS to basically run roughshod during Biden’s entire presidency!
I agree with all of the suggestions. Are we free to copy the letter that you wrote to Senator Durbin and send it to our own senators ? Obviously I would give credit to you as the author of the letter.
The Senate must now abide by the rule of law and have every member of Trump’s proposed administration be checked out by the FBI, along with All of his choices for Cabinet positions! Don’t wait, or you will be allowing criminals to be put in charge of our government!
The nom itself was the distraction to escape the report. All of them are distraction, hoping that the real scoundrels like S’miller slip in like mean weasels. Gabbard cant get clearance. FoxGuy is a joke on its face. Who does he really want to put in there? The acting guy after the delay of the nominations and they rejections, waiting for Spreacher or Thune to recess for Christmas and he’ll be able to appoint an acting guy like Mike Flynn
A horrible but realistic thought. I have noticed Flynn must be hiding in the wings concocting something utterly sinister. Dems have nothing to lose but our democracy. Everyone on here gets that! Do they (meaning our Democratic reps)?
Great letter - but please don’t stop there. Call him! In fact, we should ALL call him. And anyone else who can move the needle on this.
I would love to see the Dems act like they are not just raising a white flag—pun intended.
Illinois resident here. I’ve called. Repeatedly in the last week. I feel it will get no response even though I asked for one.
First was about overseas adoptions. My niece is in the process of adopting from Thailand.
Second about the cabinet appointments.
AG— did you send this to him?

Can I co-sign this? I mean, the Senate Dems have been pretty ineffective, but here’s hoping that they choose to end on a good note.
Asking the same. May we forward to our Senators too, Please?
Me too! I find Durban very ineffective when it comes to taking action. We need to give him a “push” to get him going.

I just forwarded it to Amy Klobuchar, who is also on the Judiciary Committee.

If Biden steps down and hands power to Harris then she gets the immunity that goes with the Presidency
I forgot to mention - Biden should pardon his son, Hunter. Trump
wants everyone to pay - he ran as the “retribution party”. He is so evil he would totally go after Hunter with Gaetz in as DOJ

Waiting May put us into a dark place we NEVER emerge from.
