You should maybe check out what I’m saying on multiple platforms !

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

Ok I’m going to sleep after a long day of working on this stuff instead of posting! 🤙🏽

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

There is a bill and I’m a cosponsor. Ossoff, Merkley.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

I am not the guy who when asked about illegal actions says “hey what about groceries” but when tariffs raise the price of everything and they kill ACA subsidies to do big tax cuts I don’t think I should pivot to “democracy” or whatever.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

This is not true. People care a lot about their own economics.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

Activism is not rephrasing people.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

I am for that. But I’m also not the King of the Congress.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

This is untrue.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

No im not offended I just periodically have to remind folks that im posting because i want to talk to folks online and i do it in between and in addition to my core responsibilities. But than you.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

I voted yes on Rubio, no on Noem, no on Ratcliffe, no on Bessent. Sometimes you are going to disagree with my legislative actions which is totally fine but you should know what they are.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

I’m going to still help to drive an economic message fyi. If you are talking about grocery prices it doesn’t mean you are a coward who refuses to confront autocracy. Economic stuff matters very much to voters too. And you can draw a straight line from corruption to economic pain.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

Hey I’m always working on the stuff I post about. I am not posting instead of taking action.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

Yeah. For sure.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

This is well put.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

It sure does.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 26(source)

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

Guest on Megyn Kelly this week: “So, that's the thing is the funniest joke we ever pulled on the Democrats was convincing them that Project 2025 wasn't real…it's over, we won, yes, we're going to do Project 2025. And the other thing is, it's good.”

Congrats. You played yourself.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 22(source)

I don’t understand the whole “why are you so surprised “ genre of tweet. I have no idea what it’s supposed to accomplish.

Brian Schatz@schatz.bsky.socialJan 22(source)

I am always working on all of the stuff I’m posting about. I never post instead of doing something. Always in addition.
