U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) introduced the Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025, legislation that would require contractors to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with access to technical data and materials the military needs to repair and maintain its own equipment.

maybe instead of trying to work with the fascist ideological cult, previously known as the Republican party, her and her fellow democrats should instead be focused on making it as difficult as possible for the current fascist regime to function?

maybe if they had a spine to stand up for what is best for the country we might not be facing the realistic threat of concentration camps in America.

they were elected to serve and protect American interests. tell me, how does working with the "obvious elephant" in the room serve and protect American interests?

OK, what should they have done in this case? Please give concrete steps what they should have done.

I agree with you they should have been doing a lot more to deny a functioning government for the last 6 months, but in this case the very best they could have done was not co-sponsor the bill and then vote Yes on it. Because, again, this bill is a GOOD THING. It isn't the best thing, but it is a good thing.

you mean the one that's defunding medicare? defunding snap? or is it the one that's going to cost America $3 Trillion? whoops same one.

so tell me, how is any of this worth the bad things?

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

None of those things are involved in this bill. Everything you mentioned is all about the reconciliation budget.

Please say what could have been done on this bill, which is completely separate legislation.

Are you insane or just fucking stupid? Serious question here. Not trying to be insulting.

This entire topic of conversation is about this bill: https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warren-sheehy-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-guarantee-military-right-to-repair-its-equipment

None of the stuff you posted about or linked about in 80pt font is in the bill everyone else is talking about. The stuff you are ranting about is in the Big Beautiful Bill, which is a different legislative bill that Senator Warren (and every other Democrat) voted against.
