On a call with Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, six Democratic governors pushed him to slow down the confirmation of President Trump’s nominees and to do more to block his agenda.

You can push your Senators too. Call (202) 224-3121 and ask them to block everything until Trump gives up on trying to destroy the country

    Schumer doesn’t have the votes to do jack shit.

    The GOP has a 53 seat majority, they only need 50 to confirm appointments. They can tell Schumer to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up and there’s nothing he or the Democrats can do about it.

      So, he should do it. They should make him shut the fuck up then. Most of the career democrats do the republicans work by making their jobs easier by just rolling over. This is why people aren’t coming out in support of democrats

      What they can do:

      • Vote ‘no’ on everything. Every cloture motion. Every confirmation. They’re still not doing that.
      • Reject any kind of unanimous consent
      • Stop doing military promotions until they go back to building a military which looks like the US as a whole
      • Ask for a roll call on every vote, every amendment. It slows things down.
