“Democratic leadership elections for the 119th Congress took place on December 3, 2024
…#senators… elected to leadership positions in the 119th Congress:
Chuck #Schumer (D-N.Y.), minority leader: Schumer was re-elected without opposition

Amy #Klobuchar (D-Minn.), chairwoman of the Steering and Policy Committee
Cory #Booker (D-N.J.), chairman of the Strategic Communications Committee”

Surely it's time to replace #schumer ~ someone with guts, better political instincts, more attuned to the wider world. #klobuchar ? #senate
Zelenskyy is fighting for freedom. Putin and Donold are fascists destroying freedom.
All of us have to decide whose side we're on.
According to CBS News Senator Amy Kobuchar urged Zelenskiyy to cave in to the orange fascist's extortion.
“#Bloomberg says the American #Soybean Association has been notified by growers that payments associated with the Climate-Smart Commodities Program have been suspended. The ASA stressed to the #USDA that it should honor the contractual agreement it made with #farmers.
Senate #Ag Committee #Democrats joined Ranking Member Amy #Klobuchar in sending a letter to USDA requesting information on actions taken by USDA to pause these payments.

A few hours ago, @nytimes wrote:
«"It is very clear that, if there is a middle of all of this hot mess of division, Americans want us to work together when we can and find common ground," Sen. Amy Klobuchar tells the Opinion writer Michelle Cottle.»
I'm going to pray that they've been sitting on that quote for weeks and that it's not the evidence of dangerous cluelessness by Klobuchar that it appears to be.
I think Americans want first for Congress to save Democracy, Amy. Because control of the public's attention is easily manipulated in social media, they may not realize it's in mortal danger, but it's Congress' job to know that fact.
If they, Democrats and Republicans alike, aren't describing it as a full-on assault on the Constitution, a coup, a sudden & complete dismantling of Democracy via a prior published & detailed plan, then they aren't solving the right problem and show no evidence of paying attention.
Even 4 years ago, on January 6, it wasn't "business as usual". We needed Congress on that day to continue a Constitutional government but NOT to hear budget debates and such mundane legislative things. We knew we were UNDER ATTACK.
This, now, today, is an ESCALATION OF THAT ATTACK, and she's talking like she wants to ignore it, treating this as an ordinary work day. Work together by IMPEACHING maybe, but nothing less. Do not underestimate the seriousness and urgency of what's going on. Do not get distracted.
If Congressfolk don't see this as an escalation, maybe because it's a "white collar" attack not (yet) involving guns, they can't respond properly. They must stop talking about this as something to legislate their way out of. We in the US are under a real time administrative assault. Stop taking weekends & holidays. This is not a schedulable event. They are preying on your willingness to pretend it can have a leisurely pace.
Congress has long been soft on white collar crime, treating it as a privilege of the elite, the donor class. Perhaps it's become invisible to them, even as it's far more sweeping and hurtful than much street crime. Maybe a white collar coup is then likewise invisible. We need them to wake up and SEE.
This time they're using ID cards to get into buildings they're taking over, but there's more to Constitutional government than right of entry. The Constitution spells out limits on power. They're violating limits so fast they can't all be checked fast enough. A Gish gallop assault on policy & power.
Sadly, I predicted this crisis on the ex-bird site Oct 13, 2016 (before 2016 vote). Talking Points Memo (TPM) had cited USA Today on Trump's propensity for legal challenges. I expected the same with Constitutional challenges. Just as happened. Our system barely handles a few challenges a year, not thousands.

(This post is an expanded form of a thread I just posted to BlueSky.)
Minnesota Democratic Senator Amy #Klobuchar has told the #BBC Kamala #Harris will run as “someone who prosecuted cases against a man who has racked up over a hundred felony indictments”.
"She raised nearly $50m (£36.7m) in just the first day…there’ll be a lot of excitement over the choice of the vice-presidential candidate, it’s going to be kind of a speed dating sort of situation given the amount of time left."
