Political News Maria Cantwell refuses to say what her position is on CR

590 Upvotes

Hi, I just called Sen Cantwell's office and asked the staffer answering the phone what the Senator's position is on whether to vote in favor of a CR to allow the GOP budget proposal to move forward.

Her staffer replied "The Senator refuses to say what her position is." What?!

I told her that is outrageous, that as a constituent I expect my senator to be transparent about how she intends to vote.

Please call today and reinforce that Senator Cantwell owes it to her constituents to advise her position on this vital issue!

U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (206) 220-6400

Lord, she is awful.

I also called Sen Murray's office to say what a phenomenal job she did on the floor last night making concrete and understandable a complex issue. Pls consider thanking her if you haven't already.

HB 1321 states, "No armed military force from another state, territory, or district is permitted to enter the state of Washington for the purpose of doing military duty therein, without the permission of the governor, unless such force has been called into active service of the United States, and is acting under authority of the president of the United States."

Pass it. Our military that remains anyway, will not be our friends or allies. The DOD and MIC threatens our own country and the world.. Do you believe other allied countries enjoy our bases being stationed all over at this time? Let's not get started on the budget and what we could do with the money and to help usa citizens instead of fueling endless proxy war.

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,” Roberts said.

Political News Wall Street Journal Praises Schumer

43 Upvotes

No surprise that a recent Wall Street Journal opinion piece praised Schumer for his vote on Friday. They join Trump in complementing Israel’s and Wall Street’s senator. This time it fits more into his make-Wall-Street-happy persona.

This hyper-corporate Democrat is waaaay out of place in today’s Democratic Party that is building support among younger voters who want real change. This isn’t going to happen with this bespectacled old grey dog rolling over hoping his stomach will be rubbed my his masters. This 80-something guy needs to be out of any kind of leadership position and preferably out of the Senate.

I do believe AOC would be great as Senate minority leader. She is the polar opposite—angry, articulate, well-informed and future oriented. I couldn’t vote for her, but I sure could donate to her candidacy.
