Schatz has been doing this since Januaryish, so finally really doesn't apply here. Just because you're finally hearing about it, doesn't mean it wasn't happening. The problem is that I can count the number of mainstream media stories about this on one hand in two months. The American people aren't being informed by the biggest outlets.---Jason
Oh, that means our media is not playing nice with us. We can get even with them too, and we should. One old tried and true method is to boycott all their advertisers. We don't need to buy name brands of anything.
With pets it's not hard to stay away from anything made by Purina. Purina has bought out almost every pet food you can think of, but there are still quite a few, low cost producers. Purina is owned by Nestle, which itself has bought out everything you can think of from Sara Lee to Swansons. They've denied an entire African village access to their own clean water so they could bottle it and sell it to all bottled water drinkers. Disgusting. There was a story about it on 60 Minutes a few years ago.
I try to avoid Purina products and use brands that my small specialty pet food store carries.
I feed my dogs The Farmer’s dog(I know it is expensive $ and a brand called My Perfect Pet which is a smallish company based in TX)
Although I try to avoid Purina at least their dog foods first ingredient is a protein unlike some brands whose first ingredient is corn which is a pretty useless carbohydrate.
Yup we need to make them feel boycotting, they hv to feel it for it to work . We hv to have hands and feet everywhere, but organized boycotts work 🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏾
I knew about this at the time, but finally! refers to putting them on more than just state department nominees, and senators doing it more broadly, not just him. A hold should have been put on every single nominee immediately. they are all terrible and unqualified without exception. even Rubio, who got 99 votes, didn't have the knowledge, experience or balls to tell that signal group chat that they needed to go to a secure location and get off their personal phones and a commercial app.
And if it means our senators have to get down and real dirty … damn it, then do it!! The Senate & House need to find ways to slow down the destruction of our democracy. For every executive order issued - Congress should find a way to block or slow something down … anything please!!!!
Yes!! Defy. Obstruct. Resist. Use every last tool at our disposal to stop this madness! The country is under a hostile takeover and we must respond accordingly!
Keep up the good work! Don't let them take a breath. In fact they need to put out articles of impeachment. It won't pass, but everyone needs to pick a day and do it.
It's about damn time. We must act exactly like McConnell did to President Obama and President Biden. Trumpy is putting in the Worst people and destroying the country. Dems need to shut them down.
Finally!

Which is why independent journalism is vitally necessary.
Thank you.

Minimizing what I purchase and trying to only use small locally owned businesses
Bit gotta’ feed the pets and the birdies and have nice plants in my pots and all that I can get at small locally owned businesses

Exactly the same here! Love feeding the birds ! Having my plants and paying more attention to those simple days in the yard. We will get through this!

I remember reading about using this tactic and wondered why it had not been implemented previously. Thanks for clearing that up. 💙

Thanks for that clarification.
Well he hasn’t done it on any nominations if consequence- has he? Like Hegseth, Noem, FBI, NSA, Sec of State, Attny General etc.???!!
Fight, Fight, Fight
Finally the Democrats are awake!
Awesome keep fighting them any way you can.
And if it means our senators have to get down and real dirty … damn it, then do it!! The Senate & House need to find ways to slow down the destruction of our democracy. For every executive order issued - Congress should find a way to block or slow something down … anything please!!!!
Millions at rallies in US and other countries and now this?
How beautiful!!!!!
Keep up every opposition fighting move you can make. It’s time we show what will happen when we assert the will of the people.
Yes!! Defy. Obstruct. Resist. Use every last tool at our disposal to stop this madness! The country is under a hostile takeover and we must respond accordingly!

Great job Democrats!!!!Hold the line!!

It's about damn time. We must act exactly like McConnell did to President Obama and President Biden. Trumpy is putting in the Worst people and destroying the country. Dems need to shut them down.
