Congress is passing laws without anyone voting.

And they're often doing it in mostly empty chambers.

They call it unanimous consent.

#MikeJohnson blasted the Senate-passed bill, which would #fund all of #DHS except #ICE & #CBP (BC IT IS FULLY FUNDED, REGARDLESS! SO, That's not a win) calling it “a joke.” #NAZIS place full #blame on the #Democrats, even though #RepublicansControlTheSenate and #thebill #passed by #UnanimousConsent.
House Republicans rebel against Senate-passed DHS bill, eye separate funding vote
After it became clear the House wouldn't take up the Senate bill, Trump signed an order directing DHS to pay TSA workers, who haven't been paid for working during the funding lapse.

Assembly grants unanimous consent to re-refer multiple bills and suspends rules for governor's guests
During a joint convention on Sept. 12, the Assembly agreed without objection to multiple unanimous-consent requests from Majority Leader Agar Curry to suspend rules for guests and re-refer a batch of AB files to alternate committees and notice hearings, and later moved to adjourn the House.

Speaking of quid pro quo, and given that reopening the government surely meant the seating of the final piece of the discharge petition, we may now have the payoff for Schumer allowing his caucus to cave for seemingly nothing in return... 🤔 #unanimousconsent #EpsteinFiles #Trump

From what I have read, we do not want a vote by 'unanimous consent' because then the individual votes are not accounted for. You don't know who voted against it. I may be wrong. But I want to know which Republicans voted *against* this bill. #UnanimousConsent

“#GasLitNation #Juneteenth2025 edition, plus HOW #Impeachment puts every person in Congress on-the-record: #BoughtOught or #DemocracyDefender!? “Welcome to the skeptic’s guide to impeachment. Why is a third impeachment effort of Trump necessary? Because demanding impeachment puts every member of Congress on trial, revealing who we can trust and who is bought off.  Meet unanimous consent: the Senate’s dirty little secret, and the power Democrats refuse to use. Imagine if all it took to stop the Senate in its tracks was one simple word: No. Unanimous consent is a very real procedural quirk that gives every single senator, regardless of party or seniority, enormous power. All they have to do is deny consent. Just say no, and legislative business slows to a crawl. Now here’s the catch: Republicans use this tool constantly. Democrats? Almost never. And that’s not because they can’t; it’s because they choose not to. How does unanimous consent work? In the Senate, many of the chamber’s archaic rules can be bypassed if no one objects. This process is called unanimous consent. It’s used for everything from skipping quorum calls to fast-tracking nominations. The idea is to keep things moving. But here’s the shocking part: any senator, at any time, for any reason, can halt this entire process by simply saying, “I object.” Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville famously abused this mechanism to block military promotions for nearly a year. And he paid no price for it. Why? Because it’s perfectly within Senate rules. And yet, while authoritarianism rises, civil liberties are under siege, and people are being literally kidnapped off American streets, not a single Democratic senator has used this tool to slow the machinery down. By mid-April, according to Keira Havens, an organizer of Citizens Impeachment, along with former Congressional staffer for Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, there were already around 500 recorded unanimous consent agreements in the 2025 Congressional Record.…

Hey @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov , are you going to allow "business as usual" as the country falls deeper into dictatorship???? SHUT IT DOWN!!! This is your opportunity to protest. You have one voice and one voice only, deny #UnanimousConsent! #Dystopia

I just did this. You can too. Tell them that after what's happened to Padilla, they need to deny unanimous consent and use every other tool to shut the Senate down.

Bro ok fine. Sounds great.

Is there anyone out there who wants to pick it up the unanimous consent work? I have a spreadsheet you can fill in and I can show you what to look for.

Because that's another thing you could do @warren.senate.gov. stop giving #unanimousconsent.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced she & Senator Wyden are introducing a bill to end the state of emergency which has given the president the power to set tariffs and control the stock market.

Contact your Senator at (202) 224-2131 and ask them to vote that there’s NOT an economic emergency.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
