My floor speech yesterday: 1/ The rules change Republicans are pushing through the Senate - to confirm dozens of Trump nominees with one vote - is another sign of our vanishing democracy, as the legislative branch voluntarily bends the knee to the executive.

2/ This new rules change is just one more abdication of legislative power allowing Trump's destruction of democracy can move faster. Republicans are letting Trump seize congressional spending power; doing no oversight over his corruption.

3/ None of this is normal. If Republicans continue to view themselves as Trump's employees, instead of an independent branch charged with checking runaway executive power, the damage to our democracy will be fatal.

Senator Murphy’s outrage is performative hypocrisy. The Senate’s rules have been weaponized for decades by both parties—Democrats nuked the filibuster for judges in 2013, Republicans followed in 2017. This “vanishing democracy” narrative ignores the real issue: a bloated bureaucracy filled with unelected regulators who’ve seized legislative power. The Write the Laws Act aims to restore Congress’s constitutional role, yet career politicians would rather whine about procedural skirmishes than fix the systemic rot. If Murphy wants to save democracy, start by ending the administrative state’s tyranny—not crying over streamlined confirmations while D.C. bureaucrats write laws without accountability.

Didn't you vote to get rid of the filibuster? Thank God for Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema.

USA Constitutional Republic is alive and well despite Democrat efforts of societal collapse.

You're moving on awfully quick away from your call to war against the American people 2 days ago.

Literally how democracy works, dumbass...

Yeah, you should just stick to inciting your followers to realize that you “are in a war now and you must do anything to win the war.” Like the guy yesterday who listened to you and Chuck Todd. Disgraceful.

Submission. One vote to rubber-stamp Trump’s nominees, Congress bending the knee. This isn’t checks and balances — it’s the death of them.

nobody cares about your floor speech you narcissist

The only threat to democracy comes from the democrats and we, the American citizens, are well aware of it This rhetoric just speaks to the level of discourse and hatred that has infected our country and the democrats are at the heart of it

Nobody wants to listen to your hateful rhetoric

Here goes the Democratic hate they got Charlie killed

No, it is not at all. You Democrats keep blocking every single person that gets put up. So this is the measures that the Republicans have to take because of your stupid ass bullshit

You are mentioned. You should listen to this. But you won’t. Because that would require bravery

If Democrats weren't such assholes blocking everything in an attempt to overthrow Democracy, this would not be needed.

You're people ended democracy with a bullet yesterday. I swore my life to the Republic, and I will violently fucking defend it against you evil degenerate terrorists.

They are #GOPDomesticTerrorists They are NOT our friends. My GOD we are in so much trouble and I've never felt so unsafe as a country.

GFY

What world do really live in? Even Democrats know you are full of shit. Even you know you’re full of shit. I guess, you’re full of shit then… ?? 💩💩

Ohhhhh facts don’t lie.

Ypu libtards either are retarded or have ridiculously short memories. You are a bad human being.

We are nine months into the presidency and democrats have been slow rolling the cabinet. We need a full cabinet now.

Have you managed to wash the blood off your hands yet? You absolute fucking ghoul!!

We are not a democracy fuckwit

I bet u were one of the lowlife MFrs who represent @TheDemocrats who refused to pray for Charlie? You have blood on ur hands! Ur partially to blame! Ur a POS!

You sure do adore yourself to much, you needed to post your speech yourself!

Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: is the key provision, stating: "Each House may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member".

Sure Senator tone deaf.

Then how about you and your party honor precedent and allow them through instead of stonewalling because you hate Trump?

Vanishing "democracy" have you looked up that word since it's the Democrats go-to but never actually makes sense or applies...

Harry Reid would like a word

How about the bullshit is over 😃

Proud of yourself?
