I think Dems made a mistake by dragging this thing out for three months, it’s just turned into an ugly proxy war. They didn’t want a “kneejerk reaction” after the election and it’s kind of backfired. We should have gotten this decision out of the way by inauguration day so we could focus 100% on opposing Trump.

There are multiple reasons why Sen. Warren, much as I like her as a Senator, wouldn’t be my top choice to run on the Democratic ticket in 2020. That is hardly evidence of a lack of support for progressive policies, and I find it very odd that they would conduct a hypothetical poll for only her, specifically. Why not…

It might have something to do with the $60,000 she has donated to his campaigns:

Since he stopped answering his phone, you can try his assistant:

Tune in to C-Span so Congress knows Americans are watching this:

The way that that site works is you can redeem points (Swagbucks) for gift cards for Amazon, PayPal, retailers, and restaurants. The going rate is 500 SB’s for a $5 gift card, 2,500 for a $25 gift card, etc.

The executive has the power to enforce laws, not overrule them. That makes it a constitutional issue.

There’s a slight hope they could be reinstated by the court,

Betsy Woodruff of the Daily Beast has been doing a great job covering the immigration ban, the latest out of the Eastern District of Va Court is that Trump’s ban permanently revoked more than 100,000 lawful visas:

We reaped this.

Agreed. And also, this might not be a popular opinion but even though I think Nancy Pelosi was a pretty solid Speaker and has generally been a strong defender of progressive values, she really should have stepped aside and given someone from the next generation a chance to lead the minority. She’s said a few things…

Only if you lie about being a constituent. A few people that have worked for Senators/congressmen have chimed in about this on Reddit, they basically don’t bother to log calls that aren’t in their state/district.

Call call call your Senators. Even Dems to keep them from jumping ship. These are the GOP Senators who are the most likely to have a chance to be swayed, although you can cross Toomey off this list:

Perhaps, but Trump won 1,594,511 votes in Missouri out of ~4,190,936 registered voters (2012 numbers), or 38%. So using the presidential election results to try to extrapolate the level of support for McCaskill is an imperfect measure, to say the least. Joe Manchin was re-elected in 2012 despite Obama losing W. Va to…

What are you talking about? It is precisely because Republicans are more disciplined and vote in lockstep that their strategy of obstructionism won them back the House, Senate, and White House.

The DeVos vote in the full Senate hasn’t been held yet.

I agree mostly, I think Cruz has better technical debating skills from his experience during his Princeton days. The problem is he’s the most smarmy politician I’ve ever seen, he is unlikable and people don’t trust him. He lost to Donald Trump, FFS.

Claire McCaskill beat Todd Aiken in 2012 54.7% to 39.2%. Those are her constituents. You can try to read into the presidential election results all you want, but at the end of the day it’s speculation. I would say that a much better gauge of what your constituents currently want to see is the phone calls, emails, and…
