Of course fuckin Fetterman sided with republicans. Of course. And these women from NH aren’t up for reelection, but Shaheen’s daughter is running. Bill Shaheen represents medical providers who get sued for malpractice so it’s interesting his wife doesn’t care if a whole bunch of people can’t pay for medical care anymore.

U.S. Senators #Shaheen and #Murkowski introduced a $54.6 billion bipartisan aid package for Ukraine over two years, covering weapons and stockpile replenishment. Despite Trump’s shift on Ukraine aid, the bill faces tough odds in Congress due to GOP opposition.

Sen. #Shaheen on why NATO membership should be on the table for #Ukraine 👇
“They have the largest army in Europe, the most experienced army in Europe at this point. We’re developing cutting-edge countermeasures based on #Ukraine’s real-time experience against Russian systems"
“We should not forget the power of alliances in taking on adversaries like Russia or Iran or others."

It’s important for these Democratic senators to hear from their constituents right now. Email your senators and tell them to protect our elections by rejecting the GOP’s voter suppression bill.”

Republicans are once again pushing what we’re calling the “Silencing Americans Act,” a dangerous bill that would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote. The House passed it last session, but it never made it to the Senate—now they’re bringing it back in an attempt to restrict access to the ballot. The Silencing Americans Act (H.R. 22 and S. 128) would require every voter to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or original birth certificate, when registering to vote in federal elections. That might sound simple, but the reality is that millions of eligible voters don’t have these documents readily available. Because the bill would require showing this proof in person, it would eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. This bill wouldn’t improve election security—it would just make it significantly harder for everyday Americans to vote. It has already passed the House and if it passes the Senate, the Silencing Americans Act would disproportionately impact: Married women who have changed their last names, many of whom don’t have birth certificates matching their legal name Trans and nonbinary people who’ve changed their names to reflect their gender identity Naturalized citizens who could face additional barriers and intimidation Military members, tribal citizens, and working-class Americans, who may not have easy access to these documents And others! We’ve seen the damage of similar laws in states like Kansas and Arizona, where thousands of eligible voters were blocked from registering. Americans without citizenship status are already barred from voting in federal elections, and states have secure systems in place to verify voter eligibility—this bill is unnecessary. Fill out the form with your information (feel free to add an optional additional comment, if you like), and we'll make sure your email is delivered to your senator(s). The email to your senators:
I just signed the petition “Call for the Removal of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer from his leadership position” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

The #Democrats who voted for Wright include: both #NewHampshire Senators, #MaggieHassan and Jeanne #Shaheen; both #Colorado Senators (Liberty Energy, Wright’s company, is based in #Denver), John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennett; both #NewMexico Senators, Ben Ray Luján and Martin Heinrich; and #Arizona’s Ruben Gallego. The question, as with all this, is why.
