This sounds so familiar, like there was recently someone else whose ego wouldn’t let them see that they were done until it was too late…. Who was that? Hmmm?
Force his eyelids open and strap him to a chair and force him to watch hours of footage of the American people criticizing his capitulation ala A Clockwork Orange!
@chuckschumer.com has reached the point where he doesn't actually take in new information. He can't undersrand that things are different, and therefore, he will not change. He's incapable of understanding that the way he used to do things is obsolete and in this situation America won't survive.
I'm glad people are pissed off. I'm glad they're showing their politicians this. It's the people that members of Congress represent... they don't represent their OWN self interests. Politicians work for the people
@schumer.senate.gov is trying to do damage control after doing absolutely nothing for we, the people and doing everything for the top 1%. Sir, it's not going to sell. Resign! You sold us out, period.
Chris almost held him to the fire, almost. He should have kept pushing on the fact that people are going to town halls and protesting. Why doesn’t Schumer know or acknowledge his constituents were protesting his office and he wasn’t answering at his office.
Schumer is well meaning but he doesn’t understand the moment or the need to resist in extraordinary ways. Like Chris Hayes just said to him, it’s like he’s resisting as he would if Mitt Romney were POTUS.
Unless these people want to fight like crazy they need to step down. We can't back down now. These are different times calling for different modes of operation.
I see what @chuckschumer.com has said since but the fact that he is doing so after the fact already shows he has not been LEADING…if he’s such a good fighter WHY doesn’t anybody KNOW about it? Democrats are seen as AWOL on HIS watch.
It wasn’t just his vote on the CR. It’s his lack of leadership since the election. No strategy. No planning. No comprehension of what it takes to be an effective opponent. Dems have been floundering because they lack leadership.
People keep saying this, but I just wonder do we need someone to tell us that fascist takeover is bad and that we should be putting this on ourselves to unify and mobilize, like our past leader, Obama, and VP Kamala Harris told us we should do?
He looks like what he is…a complete jackass and his excuse that we haven’t reached a constitutional crisis yet, well Trump is speeding to it now if he doesn’t adhere to Robert’s warning.
The GOP are dismantling USA Democracy & Chucky Schumer was planning going on a book tour to make $ - nobody can criticise his dedication to his bank account.

I'm not saying I agree with him, but not one of them are listening to his reasoning about the Executive Branch having total control of which departments to keep open and when to end the shutdown. Their job shouldn't be just blocking to disagree, but to weigh the consequences of each action.
I understand what you are saying and I also watched it. But I feel that Sen Schumer is not grasping the seriousness of this moment. He feels that we are not yet in a constitutional crisis, so he is not using all the tools available to slow things down. I don’t think that is the right approach.
What tools? They flat out said before they began this session that they would not work with Democrats. So they had two choices. If MAGA Senators were hoping for a 6 month shutdown to completely obliterate government, was that the right choice? The courts ordered them to rehire 24k people just today.
Because his decisions were well thought out. Maybe this one was too. It doesn't seem that the House was thinking about the consequences of a shutdown when it came to the power of the Executive Branch, only to blocking the bill.
They could have used reconciliation tools to SLOW things down including nominees. It should not be business as usual. Did u watch ALL of Chris Hayes and see what Ezra Klein had to say from Indivisible
Yes, I did. But he's a journalist & activist. He wants a fight, & I get that. But is he actually weighing the legal ramifications of giving the Executive Branch total control, with no end in sight. They want a fight, then go after the REPUBLICANS. They have control. It only takes a few to dissent.
He doesn’t care. He’s made MILLIONS as Senator from NY! He doesn’t need to be reelected. He clearly doesn’t give a flying fuck. Our problem is that Democrats will elect another neoliberal, instead of a progressive.
All these interviews aren’t about him reinforcing the party position, but are isolated efforts to saving him and him alone. What’s weird is it’s totally obvious.
@schumer.senate.gov RESIGN! Go write another book, BUT RESIGN. You do not have what this moment in history requires. Why do I have to tell you this!?🤦🏻♀️
Cool. But they're burning daylight dunking on Chuck (not saying he didn't ask for it) when they could be casting as much light as possible—and attacking—the Musk/Putin takeover of our nation. CR. No CR. Important! But this ain't about D vs R or quaint Congressional jiujitsu no more.
The only valid thing to criticize Democrats about is the unwillingness to arrest and charge Trump, Musk, and anyone else who collaborated in a violation of the law.
Anything that Congress actually has a right to do, Democrats are powerless to meaningfully stop Repubs from trashing things up.
He said if things get to the Supreme Court and we fall there then by golly the people will get really mad and it’ll take everybody, including him, to really do something about it. He doesn’t think we’re there yet. That seems to be the difference.
I'm leftist, but an old white man who has lost the pulse of the people, refusing to give up power to a young female of diverse background, is exactly why our side has been losing. Bad representation and therefore inaction.
And yes, I’m also an Ashkenazi Jew from New York City. How else do you think I came up with this? 😊
For those not in the know, the word Ashkenazi has no relation to the word nazi. It’s one of those cruel ironies in our universe. Anyway, just google it
@schumer.senate.gov is so out of touch! He sounds like TRump - the great I, MY members!
FFS he's starting a World War while tearing the country down!
STOP him now! But NO - he is laying in wait!
Please call/write your Dem Senators & ask them to oust this out of touch nightmare of a minority leader. Nothing is going to change until he's removed & replaced. Utterly depressing to watch him. He's a disgrace.
I've seen your Chris Hayes interview, @schumer.senate.gov. I feel even more strongly that you MUST #StepAside tomorrow. You don't seem to have a clue what to do. Let a leader take over who has the ability and willingness to fight Trump's assault on our country.
#Schumer #ResignSchumer #ChuckChuck
Schumer did the right thing. Families that work in gov still have jobs. Can’t believe people wanted them to suffer because they’re mad. Pathetic. Dem voters suck sometimes. Do better.
they're going to suffer anyway, maybe it happens a bit more gradually but the correction may also take more time or not come at all if the Republicans can just do whatever they want.
So make the suffering worse? You believe what you want. I’m behind our senate leader and all senators who voted to keep gov jobs safe and stall tons more suffering
Schumer is bringing nail clippers to a machine gun fight. He doesn’t understand how desperate the situation is. When you aim for the king, you’d better not miss. If he lacks the courage, he has to stand aside for someone who’s got it.
Schumer did the right thing. A shutdown would have given the President carte blanche. Instead of disarming Trump, we would have handed him more guns and fresh ammunition to use against us.
Schumer will never give up the throne he has put himself on and the fact that the Democrats in the Senate are not holding him to account makes them no better
I’m sick of Schumer, Jeffries and pelosi. They don’t lead, they don’t inspire and they definitely do not have their constituents best interests. Democrat for over forty years and I changed to independent during the last three elections. I will never go back.
Everyone keeps saying he gave away everything for nothing, why? How do we know that’s true? There was reportedly a grand jury criminal investigation into Schumer launched by Trump’s deranged DC prosecutor…do we know whether he pulled a Mayor Adams and cut a deal for himself to make that disappear?
I see variations on this every day here: Trump MUST Be Impeached NOW!! I get the passion. But, please, stop with messages like these. You’re just yelling into the void. Rs WON'T do it.
But, Ds could generate news and educate people. THAT’S constructive.
Did you post the video of his reasoning? I’ll trust his strategic acumen over AOC’s any day of the week. Battles depend on strategy as much as fighting but strategy doesn’t get as many clicks as people yelling “do something! anything!” If the party had a viable strategy we wouldn’t be in this mess.
I’m not a Schumer fan but his reasoning is sound. You should post the clip. He says that under a shutdown Trump could *lawfully* do a level of damage to gov. that can’t be undone, & meanwhile people would die for lack of medical care etc. But with courts doing their job he says time is on Dems’ side
He said that Trump'll do such bad things that voters will vote blue.
Trump's incompetence made covid a plague that killed over 1200000 Americans, and then came Jan 6th coup attempt... and in 2025 we lost in all but 19 states. It's not just that Trump has the bigot vote. Dems fail to excite voters.
Trump promises his voters a chance to make history. And he's doing it. IN AWFUL WAYS, but his voters see him making sweeping changes fast.
Demo have an awful reputation for being a party that waits for the right time, and then that time never comes. Schumer just made himself posterboy for that.
@chrislhayes.bsky.social You’re being too respectful Chris! Schumer & the others gad a great opportunity & blew it. He’s more interested in selling his book & capitulating to the R’s of ‘years ago’! Someone needs to wake him up - this isn’t 2017, & we’re smack in a constitutional crisis!
The problem for me is that this wasn’t hashed out weeks ago behind the scenes. Where is the teamwork? It appears the whole party is in disarray with no common objectives. This is messy.
Chuck Schumer is so badly out of touch it triggering just watching him with Chris Hayes just now. He clearly does not see the urgency of the situation.
So you think the republicans are going to come around once their approval rating drops? Because there was no other benefit to giving republicans what they want. And as we’ve seen there are no repercussions to closing down the government.
Schumer, exhibit #1 for the need for new leadership in the Democratic Party. Retirement is not only a good thing, it is a necessary thing. Let the young leaders take over
DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN SUPPORTERS should read “How A Shutdown Could Empower Trump.” “...if you thought the second Trump administration has been chaotic so far: just wait until it’s put in charge of presiding over a shutdown.” A few courageous Sen. Dems supported Country Over Party. https://tinyurl.com/3b3w3a5f
He is already out of control and has no plans to honor something as silly as the Constitution. He’ll ignore rulings, disparage judges, sweep legislators under the rug, & drive a bus over the prone body of justice. A shutdown would’ve made that clear. Now by the time America sees, it’ll be too late.
I am livid that Schumer didn’t even put up a fight. He blew it. He’s an appeaser. Senate dems need to chuck Chuck. The only thing I want to hear out of him is “I resign.”
Democrats in the Senate chose him. It's up to the caucus to tell him they need new leadership. House Dems knew they had to change the guard when they went into the majority. Schumer and Durbin are not ideal for these times.
Don’t necessarily agree. He cancelled his book tour - while it was out of fear for his own safety, I feel there’s an element of fear of hearing what we think when he’s confronted in public.
And it’s crystal clear watching him smirk through that compilation that HE STILL DOESN’T GET IT. He thinks he knows better than anyone else and GOSH that seems to come right out of trump’s playbook. It’s time to chuck Schumer.

He got pushback on The View, the safest place on television for a Democrat.
Not really. And the audience was very friendly
Wish she had this kind of fight against Trump rather than defending his dumb ass vote
It’s impossible.
He’s got to go!

Chris Hayes is such a tool
Remember when he said Trump was to the left of Hillary?
The only valid thing to criticize Democrats about is the unwillingness to arrest and charge Trump, Musk, and anyone else who collaborated in a violation of the law.
Anything that Congress actually has a right to do, Democrats are powerless to meaningfully stop Repubs from trashing things up.
The only way to do that is to make him very uncomfortable.
He likes his job. Which is to make Dems look bad.

I was just at a McGovern town hall and the anger is universal. People are livid!

You can LITERALLY see the cognitive dissonance on his face.

Giving Trump and the GOP whatever they want in hope that the economy collapses before totalitarianism permanently sets in is a heck of a strategy.
Read the room, Chuck. You need to get the fuck out. Go!
What you did was AWFUL and DESTRUCTIVE. You didn't protect us.
What the extreme right wing wants in the United States is No Functioning Government at all.
What the United States gets when Republicans succeed in shutting it down is No Functioning Government at all.
No federal watchdogs, no Congress. They are free to destroy at will.
