Huge emphasis on this. I’m saying this as someone who’s Jewish and doesn’t fully agree with AIPAC’s stances, but when we place too much focus on “getting AIPAC out of politics,” we forget about real campaign finance reform, which if implemented, is a huge win for environmental and GVP advocates

They’re not taking back the senate and Dems vote for Trump cabinet and judicial nominees all the time

More Democrats voting in Texas than Republicans is a huge sign. Peltola is the best possible Dem in Alaska who can run. NC is pretty much a lock and ME is very winnable. If we can win those 4 seats we have the Senate. Trump will not have as much of an easy time getting what he wants with a Democratic Senate

No Democrat voted for ACB, the only “yes” vote for Kavanaugh was Manchin, and Gorsuch would’ve been confirmed even if Heitkamp, Donnelly, and Manchin voted “no”. None of these senators hold office anymore.

And that’s just judges, not the hundreds of other nominees throughout the federal government

Blexas is a lol, Peltola lost her last reelection attempt, NC is a toss up, and the DNC is supporting centrist Mills who would be the oldest freshman senator ever against an incumbent. I’d love to see a +4 gain for Dems but it’s an incredible longshot

Peltola lost in a Red wave year and still not by much. If Paxton is the Republican nominee then Talarico has a chance. Cooper is leading in the polls at an unprecedented rate for a NC Democrat and Platner is mostly leading Mills as well. You mentioned Senators who voted for Trump’s nominees. I’m curious, you named those yes votes but out of how many?

33. Should be zero for every single one. How do you say Trump is a fascist existential threat to this country one day and then vote for his nominees the next

For example, every single Dem senator voted yes for Rubio as SoS. And senators like Fetterman and Sheehan voted for 11/22 cabinet nominees. https://ballotpedia.org/How_senators_voted_on_Trump_Cabinet_nominees,_2025

That’s fair tbh. I was mostly focused on SCOTUS. Idk what Durbin’s deal is. I like his stances on privacy and surveillance but sometimes I wonder why he’s voting with republicans from time to time. Might need to have a talk with Coons since he’s my senator 😭

Sheehan is a known moderate so this isn’t surprising. She was one of the main players in that back channel deal to compromise with republicans and reopen the government. In all fairness, her state (NH) is purple and has had republican governors quite often

Are there any quotes from democrats about their vote for Rubio? I’m guessing they voted that way because he was pro-NATO as a senator, but I assume there’s more. A unanimous vote is pretty rare

Her and 7 others voted to reopen the government. Plus 21 in the house. Funny how they always have just enough votes to pass Republican legislation. Look up rotating villain. Used to be Manchin/Sinema. Now it’s Fetterman/Sheehan et al.

Fetterman isn’t even rotating, he’s just a villain 😭 idk if Shaheen has always been this way or what. Her wiki page makes it seem like she’s always been a moderate but I don’t remember her voting against stuff before

From Schumer: Senator Rubio is an example of a qualified nominee we think should be confirmed quickly. Earlier today, he was unanimously reported out of Committee, with full support from Democrats, and he should be quickly confirmed here on the floor. So today, I will vote yes on Senator Rubio.
