Siiigghhhh.

“The Senate on Saturday approved the nomination of South Dakota Gov. Kristi #Noem (R) to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), putting her at the center of an administration focused heavily on immigration.

The 👉🏼59-34 👈🏼vote to confirm Noem capped off a relatively smooth process even as other nominees face more intense scrutiny”

"Six Democrats voted with Republicans to confirm Noem: Sens. John Fetterman (Pa.), Tim Kaine (Va.), Andy Kim (N.J.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) and Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)."

Help Wanted: Six people who won't vote for Nazis. Position is long-term temporary.

@darwinwoodka @GottaLaff Since the #DNC has exactly zero spine, it's past time to let them know that ANY vote along Rep pushed measure means being primaried, by popular vote and funding.

@faraiwe @darwinwoodka @GottaLaff the DNC is voting for a new leader, so double check that statement after Feb 12th

@manvsxerox @darwinwoodka @GottaLaff they must learn this now, so the vote goes according to that.

They desperately need new, young, progressive leadership, or they are doomed to become even more irrelevant.

@faraiwe @darwinwoodka @GottaLaff okay, do you live in a state that this senator is from? If so, contact them and tell them you will support a primary opponent.

@faraiwe @darwinwoodka @GottaLaff I don't live in a state that they represent so my word is entirely meaningless.

@manvsxerox DNC asks for money.

You let them know.

They conduct polls. You let them know. In fact, you can let them know for the hell of it, by correspondence.

This does NOT ONLY apply to those who just voted, but for any DNC politician who may be considering voting along reps.

The "meet them in the middle" doesn't work if the other side keeps moving right.

And you know what ELSE does NOT work? Defeatism.

People who don't think something can be done should GTFOW and let the rest of us do something, instead.

@faraiwe @darwinwoodka @GottaLaff okay, also send money to Ben Wikler, he is from a swing state (Wisconsin) and he was able to re-elect Tammy Baldwin, who was not listed as one of the six Dems who gave the okay.

@darwinwoodka @GottaLaff

We’re in the timeline where a nominee for VP became a collaborator in less than a decade.

Just because people don’t •like• it, doesn’t mean it isn’t •true•

@darwinwoodka @GottaLaff has Fetterman taken residence in Manchin boat?

@darwinwoodka @GottaLaff Slotkin voted to confirm Noem? She used to be a CIA analyst and worked for the State Dept and Dept of Defense. WTAF?
