After the blowout the Dems gave the GOP in the last election…..knowing the voters want change….I mean real change….they, Dems, show their true colors…..
The US Senate on Monday voted in bipartisan fashion to advance a fossil fuel industry-backed permitting reform bill that would weaken the Clean Water Act and other key environmental protections to make it easier for the federal government to streamline energy projects—including climate-wrecking gas pipelines.
The 73-25 vote to advance the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) sets the stage for what’s expected to be a contentious amendment process. The bill’s Democratic supporters—including Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, and Chuck Schumer of New York—argue it is a necessary compromise to accelerate construction of clean energy projects. Environmentalists, tribal organizations, and progressive lawmakers say the legislation is a gift to fossil fuel companies, tech giants, and other corporate interests at the expense of local communities and the planet.
The 22 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus who voted with Republicans for passage were:
- Blumenthal (D-CT)
- Coons (D-DE)
- Cortez Masto (D-NV)
- Fetterman (D-PA)
- Gallego (D-AZ)
- Gillibrand (D-NY)
- Heinrich (D-NM)
- Hickenlooper (D-CO)
- Kim (D-NJ)
- King (I-ME)
- Klobuchar (D-MN)
- Ossoff (D-GA)
- Peters (D-MI)
- Reed (D-RI)
- Rosen (D-NV)
- Schatz (D-HI)
- Schumer (D-NY)
- Shaheen (D-NH)
- Slotkin (D-MI)
- Warner (D-VA)
- Warnock (D-GA)
- Whitehouse (D-RI)

Why would these fools ever think of working with the GOP…..I mean when was the last time a Dem bill got the same consideration?
Not in recent years.
Now you see why I have NO confidence in these cowards going forth….including the one that is being groomed to run in 2028, Ossoff.
These bought and paid forth Dems keep believing the bi-partisanship is the answer….it has been proven for decades that it is NO way forward…..just a standstill with little to no progress.
They find any excuse to vote in favor of their donors.
This is a precursor to what will likely be the next Congress…..Dems helping the billionaires at every turn….is that what we voted for?
I think not…..but as they say bad habits are hard to break….we, the voter, is just as screwed in the future as we are today.
What say you?

Make sure their
Constituents remind them of the powet of their vote and create a third party under
BERNIE to do the voters wishes next time. Harrass then and make sure they get no cooperation in office.
