Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez advance GOP rule
Blue Dog Coalition Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez crossed over to advance GOP-led bills, rescuing the Republican agenda. They did not inform House Dem leaders. The Blue Dogs have a long history of blocking the Dem agenda ⬇️. The media buzz over leftists should look at corporate Dems.
more info about how the conservative Blue Dogs amass dark money (other members include Reps. Henry Cuellar and Josh Gottheimer): - caucus' donations come heavily from business PACs - further campaign spending from the dark money group Center Forward - yet more dark money touted for their super PAC
Golden sucks. The minute he stopped running for reelection he showed his true Republican colors. He's a blight to the state of Maine.
They flipped those districts because they promised to do better and are now doing slightly better. That's not good enough. It doesn't matter what letter is beside your name if you refuse to raise to the moment, fight for your constituents, and be the change we deserve, then you need to be out!
So. Blue Dogs are Trojan Horses?

Some of these names I see over and over again voting with Republicans.
Make note of all the fascism enablers, they need to go whenever their seats are up for vote. What kind of Dem leadership lets this happen? They're supposed to be united against the fascist takeover, why are they letting these reps vote as they please? This is why people don't trust Dems anymore
You can always count on Cuellar to vote Republican.
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez(WA) pisses me off. She needs to be replaced. She went to Reed, she should know better.
When are they going to vote to condemn Trump?
Cuellar is especially garbage. And a special PA fuck you to you, Houlahan 🖕
These are the scumbag Democrats that voted against socialism… think about it . GOP considers Social Security, Medicare the scourge of our society… and these motherfukrs , so called democrats sided with the GOP ! 😡
Two centrist Democrats, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, took the unusual step of rescuing GOP leaders’ own agenda in the face of a conservative rebellion.
Democratic Centrism is a scourge
So will they vote with the Republicans when the Democrats take control of the House?
Seriously .. what the actual fuck? . .
They need to stop supporting Republicans
This is why NOBODY LIKES the Democratic party! We need new leaders who arent actual super villains. The next generation is going to have people like Zohran Mamdani and Angie Nixon to look up to, but for now we have these absolute snakes shitting the bed and calling it a welcome gift.
"Two centrist Democrats, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, took the unusual step of rescuing GOP leaders’ own agenda in the face of a conservative rebellion." There are no conservative Republicans anymore. They are either fucking nuts or part of the Trump cult.
what if we had an opposition party
Wow it’s amazing that they needed only two votes to put it over the edge that’s craaaaaazy
It absolutely sucks that my options in WA-03 are not voting at all, voting for a "democrat" who votes with republicans much of the time and does stupid shit like this, and a MAGA republican.
And you'll get the same Democratic party idiots respond to my post saying, "Stop attacking us. We're the good guys." Yeah sure, you're the good guy. The only reason we're voting for some of you and the Dem Party is because we hate the GOP more. But you'll have your day too. Promise.
Jared Golden (D-Maine) broke caucus rules, he says, in order to help the passage of a bill that meant to drive the highly endangered North Atlantic right whale (there are about 380 left) to extinction on behalf of the lobster industry. And no, murdering whales won't help the lobster industry
The lobster industry is cooked. Almost literally. By fossil-fuel pollution. But instead of rallying to fight Big Oil, the lobster fisheries have mobilized to kill offshore wind farms and endangered whales
Golden is not qualified to be a representative. At some point a representative should to have a basic understanding of economics, voter suppression and the history of racism in American democracy.
The Democrats who supported the resolution are: Kathy Castor, Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, Jared Golden, Vicente Gonzalez, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Darren Soto, Gabe Vasquez. Those who voted present were Reps. Chrissy Houlahan and Maggie Goodlander www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...
Dems have their own one too! bsky.app/profile/kate...
When’s the vote to condemn fascism? 🤔 🙄
Guys, I think we screwed up when we decided on an electoral/societal system that practically guarantees the worst of all of us end up in power
What have been the 100 worst votes of the current Congress? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/119th_U...
Having two Dems vote with the GOP on the rule enabled Democratic lawmakers to go on the record as voting in support of a (GOP) resolution condemning socialism, which some wanted to do. (Dems even have their own proposed resolution to this effect. See thread below.)
Tell me how you'd kill your political career without saying I'm going to kill my political career. G'bye!
www.rawstory.com/hakeem-jeffr... Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) and Jared Golden (D-ME) broke with leadership Tuesday to push through a key procedural vote that had been on the verge of failing, forcing House Dems to then vote on a slate of maga priorities they otherwise would have blocked entirely.
Is he ... is he ... going to write them a strongly worded letter!?
You know what you never see - GOP members breaking ranks to vote on something that actually helps the people of this country. But you always can find a couple of traitors who'll peel off to do that "bipartisanship" dance with the fascists.
Maybe he should be taking meetings with his democrats instead of Jared Kushner 🤷🏾
Get you house in order @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and follow the damn $ on Perez and Golden!
