The 25A process can't be STARTED by anyone in Congress.
Once the 25A process begins, Congress votes to make it permanent, but no member of Congress can get the ball rolling.
ALL the blame for the lack of 25A action belongs on J.D. Vance. He is the ONE PERSON who can start it.

They are NOT on vacation 90% of the time
Where does the $60-$100B figure come from? I haven't found
Republicons are the ones refusing to do anything for the people, which is the way they always act when they are in power. #BlameRepublicons
Stop blaming "Congress" for not bothering to convene.
Whether the House is in session or not is in the hands in TWO MEN.
Unless the Speaker or the President calls Congress into session, It doesn't matter how many other members issue "demands" for the House to convene.

While not pointing fingers at any specific person, I point out that making those kinds of comments about Democrats to Democratic voters has been a key element of Republicon political propaganda since Reagan.
It wins elections for them.
Blame Republicons for what Republicons do.
#BlameRepublicons
And just to be clear:
There is no way "we can fund without them".
I won't explain the Congressional funding process, but I hope you already know that Rcons control what comes up for a vote in the House & the Senate.
EVERYTHING we don't have in terms of funding is THEIR FAULT.
#BlameRepublicons
Rcons are 100% responsible for the continuation of this horror show.
Rcons could end his presidency TODAY.
But there is NOTHING Dems can do to stop him without Republican cooperation.
Not one single thing.
That's not "pointing fingers at the other side". That's facing facts.
#BlameRepublicons
Tell that to the REPUBLICONS. They are the ones trying to destroy it.
#BlameRepublicons
BLAME REPUBLICONS GOT DAMN IT
#BlameRepublicons
#BlameRepublicons
They could end this tomorrow
Tell that to the Republicons

If four more Republicons had had the courage to join Rand Paul, they could have sent a powerful message to tRUmp and all of magaworld.
I don't know what tRUmp is holding over their heads, but Rcons are still the ones who deserve the blame and shame.
Not "the Senate" as a whole.
THIS
I'd like to see a LOT more blame going towards Republicons in this matter
#BlameRepublicons
ask the Republicons
#BlameRepublicons
<<Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost?>>
No.
<<If not, why the fuck do we have a congress?>>
<<Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to these assholes [who] do absolutely NOTHING!>>
#BlameRepublicons. They could stop this today.
True
They enabled this shit show president
And they continue to enable this shit show president right now
#BlameRepublicons
The Republicons in Congress either love this or are afraid of him.
Even all the Democrats voting together as a bloc can't stop him.
#BlameRepublicons
Public opinion is already in our favor.
Public opinion (so far) has not created the votes in the House.
You have no idea what Jeffries wants. He's not going to show his hand until he has the cards.
Call Rcon members and put pressure on THEM
#BlameRepublicons
You blame MOST of this on Kamala?
If you had any idea what is involved in multistate recounts in terms of manpower and costs (not to mention the threat of maga violence) you'd be much less casual about blaming KDH and figure out that you should #BlameRepublicons
There are no independent agencies anymore
#BlameRepublicons for that
Senate Dems might still stop SAVE. But Senate Rcons might change the rules to stop SAVE from being filibustered, & then Dems couldn't stop them.
If tRUmp ignores the War Powers Act, Rcons could impeach him on their own, & would only need 14 Senate Dems to remove him from office.
#BlameRepublicons
#BlameRepublicons
Republicons have the majority and could stop him TOMORROW.
<<Congress may have no options.
It would rival the Watergate hearings>>
Um...
That's exactly why Republicons are not going to do it...!
I wish people would stop saying Congress this Congress that when it is the REPUBLICONS in Congress who are holding things up.
#BlameRepublicons
Tell that to the Republicons.
Democrats in Congress have no subpoena power right now.
#BlameRepublicons
<<Why she managed to stroll out of that room legally unscathed is beyond me>>
Tell it to the Republicons.
#BlameRepublicons
I disagree that they are sitting on their hands.
Impeachment resolutions have been "filed". They are dismissed without being heard. They can go nowhere without Rcon help. #BlameRepublicons
The minority party cannot issue subpoenas.
Congress has no way to enforce contempt charges.
#Civics101
What is "their job"?
What can Dems do besides make speeches & hold press conferences & go to demonstrations & visit detention facilities & give interviews & ask questions in hearings?
They can NOT impeach, arrest, or imprison this president without Republicon support!
