Quite something that Schumer had his NYT op-ed justifying his surrender ready to go tonight while not informing the public (including his constituents) of his plans. He seems to think this is just an old-school pr battle. He's never been more wrong.

202-224-6542 We are calling/posting to demand @schumer.senate.gov vote no on cloture for the House-passed Continuing Resolution, and move to pass a clean CR instead. It is vital that Congress take back their constitutional power of the purse and work to block Elon Musk’s control of our government.

We cannot sit idly by -- you have to get loud -- start calling any and all DEM senators. Email them, tag them here. Here's my thread bsky.app/profile/lets... And I made phone calls to 37 senators today - it took about 2 hours. Best use of my time! You can do it too!

I just finished emailing Chuck #WhatTheFuckChuck Schumer, the DCCC, and the DNC explaining that any yes vote on cloture or the CR means NO MORE MONEY from me, NO MORE canvassing, NO MORE sign waving, NO MORE organizing. . Chuck is about to gut the work it's taken to create a social

URGENT! CALL YOUR SENATORS THIS MORNING! ☎️ 202-224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on the budget resolution and demand they vote no on cloture (speeding up the CR bill vote) and NO on the resolution itself. Cuts to social security, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits must not happen!

The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes." - Tony Blair Time to get new leaders who are going to stand up and fight for us against this stupid administration!

Looking at this from the outide (Europe) one can often be led to believe there are no laws agains corruption in the US, but surely there should be a law against Chuck- cowardice and Schumer-stupidety?

I still believe that legislative term limits are best applied by the voters rather than some assigned limit. But if we're not going to do anything about unlimited money corrupting politics then, yeah, we gotta do something

Democrats have been part of this since his 1st term. They are not representing their base or the majority of Americans. My vote for Kamala was my last as a Democrat. This version of the party no longer represents me.

Well I’m fucking furious. I don’t know about you people but I’ve had it with weakling, geriatric Democrats rolling over dead while Republicans dismantle democracy. It’s been happening for years. I’m done volunteering. Done. Why even try anymore 🤬

Schumer actually made a thought-provoking point on Chris Hayes tonight: a government shutdown would allow Trump to close the courts. That would be a disaster, since the courts have been standing in the way of some of the Trump/Musk Regime's worst actions.

If that happens, we would unquestionably be in a constitutional crisis. Unlike in the defying-court-orders scenario, they would have no plausible justification to sell to Wall Street, CEOs or even his base. It might be better to fight the inevitable battle on those terms.

I LOve it when you geniuses start to pontificate thinking it will get you laid or a free meal or some such. What was step 2 of your close down plan. There's no negotiation on a CR. it has to be the previous budget. So then what. YOU pass an Amendment to Article 2. with 46 votes...

I understand the frustration by progressives, but this is a lose-lose proposition for us dems...at the end of the day, trump and Musk don't give a damn about the people or the suffering a shutdown will cause and they will wait it out to infinity and their purpose will be served either way!

They will blame it on us Dems no matter what. This vote is not performative. We are in a war between democracy and authoritarianism. Wake up. Start fighting back. Take a risk that will be supported by all Dems. Show us your spine and we will fight as never before.

He really has no conception of how angry and radicalized the Democratic voters are right now. He needs to get the same treatment Republican congresspeople are getting. If red state voters can vent their anger at their own reps, so can we. He and the other feckless cowards need to reap the whirlwind.

Better still, tell me how we win this if we agree to their demands with our tails between our legs and without a fight. You might have grown up being bullied and maybe you didn't mind it. The rest of us won't tolerate it. If we go down, we go down fighting

I'll allow that there are smart people and reasonable arguments on both sides of the CR for/against. I believe they're capitulating because they fear losing the access to wealth and power they've enjoyed for so long. The rest of us get nothing out of it. But as long as they do, it's ok, right?

I think this fight NOW is important for our party. We could have shut it down and forced the GOP back to the table. Now we can't. Won't. We caved. Our party capitulates to Trump and the GOP because our leadership is weak and afraid of losing that which is most important to them: money

To paraphrase Public Enemy and more specifically Thomas “TNT” Todd, “Yet our best trained, best educated, best equipped, best prepared Senators refuse to fight. Matter of fact, it’s safe to say that they would rather switch than fight”

I haven't given one cent since the debacle of the Harris campaign. Gave most ever did; and despite getting $1B, begged 6-10 times daily for more. She listened to so-called experts, pollsters & canvasers; and fucked up not being herself. No interviews, including Superbowl reaching millions. Big loss.

The biggest…”when we fight, we win”. Thousands chanted it back. Less than 24 hours, she conceded and went silent. She and Biden never demanded an audit/recount/investigation despite numerous red flags. I will never forgive her for lying to us!

Aye, so thick is the callus of his delusion that truth itself rebounds off his skull like a pebble flung at a war-hardened helm! He mistakes jeers for cheers, calamity for triumph, and naught short of the earth splitting beneath his feet would rouse him from his stupor!

Chuck Schumer & the rest of the dems need to reject the bill. This is not the time to be pulling a John Federman. The bill will hinder low & middle-class Americans instead of helping them. Approving it gives chump & his co-conspirator what they want. SMH AT CHUCK SCHUMER. Dems need a tougher leader

Schumer simply needs to be replaced. The entire old guard of the Dems need to be replaced. It is not business as usual in Washington anymore and we cannot afford to have leaders that do not understand that. We need new, younger blood.

No, he doesn't. He's buying his way into the new regime. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing. He's a Nazi collaborator and an avowed enemy of the people. Schumer is a fascist maggot who needs to be kicked aside.

The Democratic leadership tends to assume that the people complaining are a bunch of whiny, Bernie-loving leftists who most voters will dismiss as unrealistic. But there's no constituency for this move. The Democrats are basically taking an action every voter they count on will despise.

I wonder if he bothered to tell his counterpart in House Democratic leadership that he was jumping ship without having their backs. And yesterday Schumer was publicly talking tough that he had the votes against the CR. A true profile in cowardice.

If the Dems vote for this bill, I am done with being a life long democrat. I will register independent. @SenSchumer: You have let us down. You have been dishonest. You need to step down. We don’t support you. We won’t forget.

ZERO DEMS SHOULD BE IN FAVOR, WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER AND BLOCK THE HELL OUTTA EVERYTHING, EXACTLY WHAT REPUBS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR 20 YEARS. WE NEED TO GIVE THEM NOTHING

I always think about „house of cards“ when I see American politicians. Does Trump have something on #Schumer? Just asking from Germany. 🤷‍♀️

CALL SEN CHUCK SCHUMER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING TO REMIND HIM THAT HE IS A DEMOCRAT. LET THE REPUBLICANS SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY AND SEE HOW FAST THE RATS COME BACK TO DC 2022246542 CALL BEFORE HE CAN SELL US OUT!
