Joe Manchin shows how he waved good-bye to ethics, integrity, and the interests and improvements of his constituents to dedicate himself to ball licking coal companies. Good riddance to bad rubbish...

God am I burnt out about this, but here’s another terrible internet bill you need to call your senators about!

Specifically, you know the whole thing how on Twitter you can’t say the sort of hyperbolic things in hatred of politicians that you could say on the rest of the net? To the point where you have to even fucking censor the word “kill” or “die” in some cases?

Well, this bill, the See Something, Say Something Online Act of 2022, would mandate this for the whole of the net. And you could get arrested for it. And they’re trying to shove this in a must-pass bill, the National Defense Authorization Act.

And it’s also by everyone’s favorite Senator Manchin! You know, the one who’s one of the two assholes responsible for why even the few good things Biden wanted to do didn’t get to happen? God I hate that guy!

Anyhoo, the bill they plan to graft this onto is currently in the Senate Armed Services Committee, meaning if one of the following senators represents your state, call them and tell them to keep this out of the NDAA:

Jack Reed, Rhode Island, Chair

Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire

Kirsten Gillibrand, New York

Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut

Mazie Hirono, Hawaii

Tim Kaine, Virginia

Angus King, Maine[4]

Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts

Gary Peters, Michigan

Joe Manchin, West Virginia

Tammy Duckworth, Illinois

Jacky Rosen, Nevada

Mark Kelly, Arizona

Jim Inhofe, Oklahoma, Ranking Member

Roger Wicker, Mississippi

Deb Fischer, Nebraska

Tom Cotton, Arkansas

Mike Rounds, South Dakota

Joni Ernst, Iowa

Thom Tillis, North Carolina

Dan Sullivan, Alaska

Kevin Cramer, North Dakota

Rick Scott, Florida

Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee

Josh Hawley, Missouri

Tommy Tuberville, Alabama

Here's where you can find means of contacting your senators, please do so, and please boost this due to Tumblr’s stupid policy of zapping posts with links in them from their searches!

50 senators could enshrine reproductive rights into federal law tomorrow if they dissolved the filibuster and voted to do it the house already passed the necessary legislation

#they won’t though because it would take actually standing up to manchin and sinema and well #absolute fucking cowards

i'm not saying the democratic party in its current state is a paragon of progressivism but choosing to dismiss the reality that the nra is holding our country hostage via the republican party is beyond willful ignorance. i get that it's easier to be cynical and say both parties are the same but they're not. and your cynicism & political apathy only perpetuates right-wing propaganda.

anyway the "right to bear arms" does not trump the right for children to not be massacred in their classrooms. people should be able to go grocery shopping & go to the movies & go to a club w/out fearing for their lives from gun violence. in the midst of countless mass shootings across the us, the republican party is actively expanding access to firearms. last year republican gov. greg abbott signed at least 20 bills into law that expanded gun access across the state of texas. you can help register texas voters here & here for upcoming primaries. donate to the uvalde families here.

#like this isn't a 'liberal' belief lmao?? this is how our govt works. & thanks to hypocrites like sinema & manchin the democratic party #literally cannot do anything right now. bc the gop blocks literally every fucking thing #& it is beyond reprehensible that us elected officials are allowed to take $$ from corporations period #let alone from the nra. #us politics #gun violence

Joe Manchin, the all around shit head of a man who I have personal beef with, has cosponsored a bill to protect abortion rights and it really has me sitting here like

Heather Manchin, while CEO of Mylan, ran up the price of epinephrine autoinjectors (EpiPens) around 600%. Her actions have, without a doubt, left families without life-saving epinephrine when a child or other family member suffered anaphylaxis. She is the epitome of evil.

Rep. Ruben Gallego hurled profanity at Sen. Ted Cruz after the Texas Republican worried that Democrats and the media would use the massacre of elementary students Tuesday to curb gun rights.

In a series of coarse tweets reflecting the raw outrage at the slaying of at least 18 children and a teacher in Uvalde, Texas, Gallego, D-Ariz., also alluded to an infamous 2021 trip to Cancun, Mexico, Cruz took as his state grappled with massive blackouts following a winter storm.

"Fuck you @tedcruz you care about a fetus but you will let our children get slaughtered. Just get your ass to Cancun. You are useless," Gallego wrote on his personal Twitter account.

Twenty-one minutes later, Gallego doubled down on the message:

"Just to be clear fuck you @tedcruz you fucking baby killer."

Gallego did so in response to remarks by Cruz reported by CNN.

“Inevitably when there's a murderer of this kind, you see politicians try to politicize it, you see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens,” Cruz said.

Gallego later turned his anger at Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who had tweeted, "Our thoughts and prayers are with these families."

"Fuck your prayers. They haven’t worked for the last 20 mass shootings how about passing laws that will stop these killings," Gallego said.

Gallego also ripped Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., after she condemned the shooting.

“We are horrified and heartbroken by the senseless tragedy unfolding at Robb Elementary School in Texas and grateful to the first responders for acting swiftly,” Sinema said in a statement. “No families should ever have to fear violence in their children's schools.”

“Please just stop.. unless you are willing to break the filibuster to actually pass sensible gun control measures you might as well just say ‘thoughts and prayers,’” Gallego responded.

Gallego is viewed as a potential 2024 primary challenger to Sinema, who has angered many Democrats with her support of the legislative filibuster. That issue is often cast as the principal roadblock to a more aggressive agenda passing in Washington, though there other hurdles, such as Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who has previously balked at various measures, including gun controls.

Last year, House Democrats passed a bill that would effectively require background checks on private gun sales by involving gunmakers or gun dealers as third parties. That measure passed 227-203 with support from all but one Democrat and with eight Republicans.

It has stalled in the Senate, where it's unclear whether it could gain a simple majority because of Manchin's prior resistance on gun measures.

Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez said 18 children and three adults were dead based on a briefing by state police, he told the Associated Press. Three people wounded in the attack are hospitalized in serious condition, he said.

Gallego's anger, which included a similarly profane tweet at the National Rifle Association, overshadowed a more measured comment from his official account in which he said, "We have surrendered our communities and our children to an endless parade of tragedy. Enough with the thoughts and prayers: we must take action and confront gun violence."

For his part, Cruz issued a less politically charged statement shortly after news of the nation's latest mass shooting first broke. In it, Cruz said he and his wife "are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde." He also thanked the "heroic" police and first responders for their efforts at the scene.

The remarks by both Gallego and Cruz reflect the clear dividing lines on addressing America's mass shootings and the contempt each side seems to hold for the other, especially after flashpoint moments such as the Uvalde massacre or the apparently race-fueled rampage at a Buffalo grocery that left 10 people dead less than two weeks earlier.

Others in Arizona's congressional delegation retreated to less-insulting and more familiar rhetoric after the latest slayings.

Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., said she was "heartbroken to hear of the events in Uvalde, Texas today. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, the injured, and their families."

Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., said, "We can't go on like this, waiting for tragedy to strike. It will, again and again, if we don't act. Words alone won’t stop these tragedies. Congress must have the courage to protect our children and pass common sense gun safety laws. And we must do it right now."

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., whose wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., survived a 2011 mass shooting that killed six, committed again to looking for legislation that can pass in an environment where little does.

"It infuriates me that Americans have come to expect that their federal government will once again react to the murder of schoolchildren by doing nothing," he said in a statement.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, who is running for the Republican nomination to challenge Kelly for the Senate, said, "Our prayers are with the victims and their families of the despicable act of violence in Texas this afternoon. We must all stand together against evil and those who target our most vulnerable."

Other Republican Senate hopefuls, such as Blake Masters and Jim Lamon, didn't immediately post statements about the Texas shooting.

"What they're saying: This heat wave has left some climate scientists shaken and dejected at how prescient their warnings were, yet how little the global agenda has changed, with greenhouse gases still building up in the atmosphere and no signs of an imminent, sharp course correction.

"As a human, my heart breaks that we have not mustered the political will to meet the climate crisis with the urgency that is required," said Andrea Dutton, a climate researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, via email.

"My scientific mind understands that this summer will be one of the coolest for the rest of our lifetimes unless we decide to treat the climate crisis like the emergency that it is. What seems horrific today will seem mild in comparison to what is to come - unless we take our opportunity to act now," Dutton said.

Michael Wehner, who specializes in studying heat extremes at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, said the early research connecting heat wave severity to greenhouse gas emissions is now more than two decades old.

"To my great disappointment, we were right. In fact, if anything, those early projections of extreme temperatures were overly conservative," he told Axios via email."

And do you know who's to blame for this? Why, the ultra wealthy, of course! Buying the submission of governments to keep change from happening, because it would make them slightly less wealthy. Most recently, the US had a plan called the “Clean Energy Standard” that would have helped utilities replace coal and gas with renewable fuels, worked to keep costs low for consumers, and lots of other good, sensible things. But Joe Manchin kept making them whittle it down, and still voted against it anyway. Because apart from having lots of money coming from coal directly, Manchin is raking in ridiculous piles of dough from other rich bastards who value money more than the literal well being of the entire fucking planet.

If we don't do something, billionaires will be the death of humanity itself.

the answer as always my love is that money is louder than anything else louder than parents weeping on tv, or shouting their lungs out at rallies louder than a vote into a ballot box louder than the voices of their grandchildren before they fall asleep at night louder than gunshots louder than God and more God than God besides and more worth worshipping than any kind of conscience could ever be
