[yaesu]

Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.)

Sen. Maggie Hassan (N.H.)

Sen. Tim Kaine

Sen. Andy Kim (N.J.)

Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.)

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)

lets hope all, not just a few, regret it

[Cirsium]

1. Extremely disappointing

Both of our Michigan Senators are on the list. Hard to image their thinking. Bipartisanship? At this late stage?

[llmart]

23. That disappoints me to no end.

Especially Elissa Slotkin.

[ybbor]

24. Was just going to post the same

Very disappointing!

[Aristus]

2. Thank goodness, not my two Senators, Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray.

n/t

[dalton99a]

3. No Democrat should legitimize a Trump appointee.

[lame54]

5. Should have been an immediate agreement...

Vote NO on everything

[dalton99a]

12. Absolutely.

[choie]

4. Except some of them continue

to vote to confirm the orange bastard's nominees, so they never fucking learn.

[debm55]

6. Again I see my Senator on the list. fucken Fetterman.

[SheltieLover]

8. ...

[debm55]

39. You know, SheltieLover. He lived about 5 miles from me in Braddock,PA. People around here loved him as mayor of

Braddock and our commonwealth Vice Governor. He is a sellout. and a trust fund baby.

[SheltieLover]

42. Pos

So sorry to hear this, Deb.

[JoseBalow]

22. Fetterman!

[FoggyLake]

27. Also my first thought: Fetterman!!!!

[debm55]

40. I had a feeling his name was going to be on that list and it was.

[SheltieLover]

7. I hope they are all primaried

[W_HAMILTON]

9. 59 Yea's minus those seven votes means Noem is still Secretary of Homeland Security.

Let's focus on our real enemies.

[Iggo]

11. So they didn't have to? They just wanted to?

[W_HAMILTON]

13. Their vote didn't ultimately matter, which is the point.

We can purify them out of the party and Noem would still be exactly where she is today.

Our fascist enemies are higher on my list of priorities than our imperfect allies.

[Iggo]

14. That's what I mean. If their vote didn't matter, then why didn't they vote against?

[W_HAMILTON]

16. I don't know, but for those that care, I'm sure they can go back and read their reasons why.

I personally do not care because there are FAR more pressing issues to deal with right now.

[Captain Zero]

31. We should ask them all rescind their votes !!

They could do a press conference and rescind their votes, ask Republicans to join in rescinding.

If they get a majority, someone could move to impeach or censure her.

[pnwmom]

18. If they're living in a swing district,

it can make sense to not alienate half the electorate with a negative vote that can't change the results.

[Iggo]

25. Both senators from New Hampshire and both senators from Michigan...

…needed to vote for Noem to what…placate Republican voters, no matter how much it pissed off Democratic voters? Are we that weak in those two states to where we need all four Senators to performatively vote against our interests?

[Cirsium]

29. No

We are not weak, but this weakens us. Pandering to Republicans does not help, it hurts. "How bad can Trump be if your Democratic Senators support things he does?" I hear that in rural Michigan.

[pnwmom]

43. Michigan is a swing state. I don't know the situation in New Hampshire. nt

[Cirsium]

28. Why should they vote at all?

Why discuss politics, as far as that goes? We can't focus on those who enable our real enemies?

And we wonder why people tune out.

[W_HAMILTON]

44. Those enabling our real enemies are those that have prioritized meaningless purity tests like this over the past decade.

Republicans thank them for their service.

If people are so upset with a handful of Democrats casting (ultimately meaningless) votes for Republican nominees, elect a Democrat to the White House so they won't be able to.

[Iggo]

10. Never mind.

[Katinfl]

15. Every democrat should have voted against every nominee.

None of them were qualified. Period. Paragraph.

[Paladin]

17. Fucking Fetterman.

Talk about a "Democrat" who needs to be kicked out of office, just as soon as possible.

[Captain Zero]

32. Someone should primary him just for the hell of it

We could do a go fund me for the filing fee.
I'd kick in.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. It's like the M.I.C. appreciation society.

Thanks a lot!

PS: Thank you for the kind reminder, yaesu! Whatever really happened to Paul Wellstone?

[progressoid]

20. Lets rag on Fetterman & then ignore the others. Including one whom the vast majority of us voted for as Hillary's

choice to be Vice-president.

[nuxvomica]

21. They should use that for cover when criticizing her

And draw the distinction between what she testified she would do and what she's actually doing, eg. "I voted for you despite my fellow Democratic senators' objections so I think you owe me an answer on this..." Democrats should use all the leverage they have, even the things they should be embarrassed for.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Wow. Poor judgment brought to light. Thank you

[duckworth969]

30. Michigan and East Coast Senators

[ABC123Easy]

33. Tim Kaine

It's always Tim Kaine

[AverageOldGuy]

34. Sen. Tim Kaine

Kaine is from Virginia, he is one of our two Democratic senators, Mark Warner being the other.

Kaine was re-elected in 2024 by a margin of 54.5 - 44.5 over a weak Republican. He will be up for re-election in 2010.

Warner was re-elected in 2020 by a margin of 56 - 44 over a weak Republican. He is up for re-election in 2026. As yet, no Republican has announced against him although a few mental midgets have let it be known they want to run against Warner.

[rambler_american]

35. Very disappointed

in both my NH Senators.

[mwb970]

36. I am struck by how ugly and evil Noem looks.

She has that soulless Stephen Miller look. It's scary. Like looking right at the Devil.

[QueerDuck]

37. Meh.

[lees1975]

38. The party needs new leadership;

This old school thinking and swing district crap has got to go! Be bold, step up, act like you really believe it when you say Trump is an existential threat to Democracy.

[BlueTsunami2018]

41. Fetterman certainly doesn't.

And I doubt the others do either. If you and I knew better, they absolutely did too.

It’s inexcusable.
