Yesterday, five former defense secretaries released an open letter calling the dismissals of senior military leaders as “reckless” and urged Congress not to confirm their successors.
Republican leaders are suggesting their members stop having town halls or at least vet their attendees first to avoid the blowback and the resulting viral clips. Perhaps they're realizing that the MAGA voters they conned are starting to wake up...and many of them are heavily armed.
Senator Gillibrand first lost me when she went after Al Franken who subsequently had to resign as a very good Senator from Minnesota. Republicans never resign for allegations, only Dems feel they have to be honorable. Why doesn't Gillibrand go after some Republicans!
And then she lost me again recently when she voted to confirm five of Trump's cabinet nominees. I can't believe I had to call her office repeatedly to demand that she not vote yes on any more of them.
Sorry, Kirsten. We are looking for someone to primary you in your next election, which is unfortunately almost 6 years away.
When she said “ the Democrats have done everything they can” she lost me. Just be honest…no they haven’t. For one thing, some of them, including her, have “gone to the dark side” on some of these pivotal votes. Additionally, it is a lie when she uses the words “done everything.” Americans are frustrated, angry, and scared. Stop lying. Stop playing dead. Put yourself in the place of your constituents (or is that too impossible to imagine) and finally, for once be a public servant.
I appreciate having Senator Gillibrand representing my state, New York, in the Senate. I hope the Senator will publish/publicize the gist of this interview in as many venues as possible: print, TV, etc. Here she is preaching to the choir, so the message needs to be out there for all Americans, especially those who voted in this abominable Administration.

Methinks the Democrats are doing the same, minus the gun toting MAGA
"Methinks"? Who are you, Shakespeare redivivus?
THIS is what you feel the need to protest? Methinks? Priorities John Phillip Lomax, priorities.
