The Republican budget bill is "a terrible option," Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, writes in a guest essay. But "the risk of allowing the president to take even more power via a government shutdown is a much worse path."

I don’t like it but that’s the truth.
Fight like HELL!!

1) Trump will exploit any shutdown.
2) Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
Americans need to feel the pain before 2026. This bill will provide that and it's all Trump's doing.
Let dimwitted Donny keep digging.
Most Americans are absolutely stupid. If Dems play dead there's a CHANCE that the average dumb shit will blame Trump when they start to suffer.
After a shutdown the media and the lowest common denominator will blame Dems for every problem they have forever. All hope would be gone.

is one of those old timey government paper pushers who just want to check off a box making it look like he did something when he just kicks the can down the road, and really doesn’t give a crap about people he serves. He should have worked for the DMV, instead.

I’m sure you will not miss my vote or $$ going forward, because neither will go to anyone in the dnc if this charade moves forward.
Stop playing in our faces
We are alone.
Devastating.

Schumer is betraying all Democratic voters - all Americans because he's a slimeball COWARD!
#History will remember Schumer as a complicit traitor who gave Putin, Elon and Trump exactly what they hoped for - the death of Congress!
AOC challenge Schumer now!
New leadership and meaningful action, please.

We the people need a fighter

He’s owned by billionaires, obviously
✊💙✊
But "fuck Chuck" is the slogan for this one. 💁🏼♀️
Schumer is a quisling traitor.
Vote no
F***, f***, f***. Not even the largest federal employees’ union is in favor of this spineless move!! 🤦♂️
May this betrayal radicalize a million new York constituents to vote for regime change
DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE!!

I'll make you regret desecrating #NeverAgain by letting Blinken & Rubio wilfully violate U.S. Leahy Law & lie to Senators.
No to DOGE robber baron CR. No on Cloture.

Knock knock knock. Hello???
Don’t give them carte Blanche. Don’t let them shove everything through without a FIGHT!
Move out of the way so someone with a pulse and some guts can take over
Help me understand.
Obviously he's more responsible. But who is working in the NY times and thinking you're good guys now?
‘ Young Democrats’ anger boils over
This is utterly inaccurate
Many, many people like me - who have not qualified as young for a long time-
Feel Schumer is taking the Wrong tactic, an old, antiquated & ineffective tactic- to deal with an existential threat to our democracy

Chuck Schumer is old and tired and needs to resign.
Resign. Tonight.
This is on the ENTIRE DEM PARTY. Not another donated dollar to @democrats.org until leadership is changed

@senatedem.bsky.social
They have Congress & the WH & SCOTUS. LET THEM OWN IT
If u vote for the crap GOP CR bill to keep the govt open the lunatic prez & his chainsaw guy will just continue to refuse to spend the money u just voted for to punish US
They put forward the one candidate who was more unlikable than Trump.
Bad decision after bad decision.
Maybe they'll stumble on as seat fillers for a cycle or two but the Dem Party is all but over as an organization. There's no reason to spend time or money or votes to put them there bc they do nothing.
