"Under a shutdown, Trump and Elon Musk would have carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now,”..." to minimize the harms to the American people, therefore, i will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.”
Fuck all the way off Schumer!!!! You just taught MAGA how to own you EACH & EVERY FUCKN TIME!! YOU & POS Dems taught MAGA that YOU will vote for fuckn ANYthing to avoid a REPUBLICAN TRUMP SHUTDOWN. You dumb motherfucker! Rand Paul is voting NO but you feckless idiot Dems are voting YES???? 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I like this part “would have carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now”. As if it matters if it’s 1 month or 6. They are already destroying it. This vote will kill what is left. Trump will have all the power to strip funding
Crazy part is that the article was completely different when I originally went to it. The original link text hasn't even changed in my search history 😅
he is doing because secretly Trump wants a government shutdown to run roughshod all over Dems so best to just allow them to do run roughshod all over Dems without a shutdown. obviously Trump doesn't want a shutdown, he caved last time he tried it. Schumer is giving him EVERYTHING.

They're both in fairly purple districts, need to find someone who can reliably hold their district in the House before we let them move up to the Senate. But if that can be taken care of, yeah, I'd vote for either of them for Senate.
Durbin is another one that needs to go NOW. Led Senate Judiciary Committee throughout Biden presidency. Where were his J6 hearings? Particularly after losing House in midterm. Ginni Thomas should have lived in that committee and turned her into a household name/label for GOP corruption and deceit
@schumer.senate.gov is a #TrumpTraitor. Schumer will be supporting concentration camps for immigrants, civil rights violations, and the destruction of the US Constitution/democracy if he votes yes on the CR.
But why he's not screaming that is beyond me. Most people have no idea what impoundment is, but the few of us who do number in the millions. And, like, teaching is a thing.
I did that years ago and don't regret it. They love asking you for money and helping volunteer for their campaign, but when push comes to shove, they bail.
Primary Schumer's ass!! So few chances we will ever get a leverage against them, the first chance we get and they just drop dead...the f*ck is wrong with them! Hopeless!!!! F*ckin hopeless!!!
Our family member is fighting to survive Stage 4 colon cancer. Clinical trials developed from researchers may be our only hope.
The CR slashes cancer research funding by 57% for the CDMRP. This GOP proposed $859 million reduction in high-impact cancer research will be catastrophic for many like us.
Because he doesn’t give a shit about us. None of them do. Kick the bucket has become the norm in the senate.
He’s voting this way because he’s looking out for himself.
@schumer.senate.gov wants protest and town halls with democratic representatives again. Democratic voters thought they got the message but they need a reminder again @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social
He can’t use the filibuster like McConnell did! Harry Reid changed the rules to 50 votes for a lot of things. Like cabinet nominations. Republicans have 53. So no cloture. No filibuster. Democrats barely had 50 (with Harris) inc Manchin/Sinema. That’s a big difference
Absolutely appalling, they all need to go! America wants fighters, we get foolish pacifists who think this is politics of 30 years ago! Pathetic lack of leadership
I don't know everything about this I don't pretend to. But I don't see the upside for Dems to be responsible for govt shutdown when the GOP are the ones who are purposely destroying the govt. With a shutdown, GOP can leave it shut down & leave all the fallout of their destruction on the Dems. NO?
Yeah I have gotten someone to pick up a couple times. It seems the phone does actually ring in his DC office but if it doesn’t get picked up, you get that message that says “sorry high call volume call back later.”
Schumer's idea that he, with his votes, will save the US from "an even greater evil" is a manifestation of grandiose delusion, frighteningly similar to Musk's.
Any participation in the interests of evil always leads to its legitimization and further consolidation.
If you’re not going to use it now, then abolish it! But the last time you had the chance you didn’t because of tradition, or decorum or some stupid reason!
I've been a skeptic of yours, Congressman, but this is exactly right. You are impressing this constituent, anyway. Please get on the phone with Durbin and tell him not to follow.
Nothing. Accomplishing nothing. It’s what Dems do. The old guard need to fucking go. Let the young leaders take over. People who have the pulse of the current generation. We need new energy. New ideas. Fuck Schumer and the dem establishment. 🖕🏼
Correct take. Makes me raging mad at the cowards. None should have a minute of peace out in the public. No peace. Restaurants. No peace. No walks in public. No peace. None.
This won’t be a popular opinion. But. The federal workers are not pawns on a chessboard. They are suffering. The more of their jobs we can protect, the better for everyone. IF we stop the money flow, then they will be emboldened to Fire many more federal employees.
We are going to replace all of you with real democratic leadership and I will only momentarily feel regret that you will be caught up in the crossfire as well
and when I say 'you" I mean as if said to Schumer, Gillibrand and all the others with political instincts worse than Gavin Newsom - not to you. I can debunk Gillibrand's arguments in 5 seconds. So can the Fed Employees Union. And anyone with eyes.
hand the robbers the keys & give them a ride. Malpractice. If you can't do this for the country, the constitution, because it's the right thing to do, then you have no business in the senate or ever asking for support again. I'm a normie dem voter as is my family from 18 - 100 yrs ol - we are livid.
Please tell your friends in the party there is revolt coming for them for this weakness. It is not just leftists but traditional liberals getting really pissed off. Polling shows this.
@schumer.senate.gov betraying the base. He should resign from leadership NOW --tonight. Totally disgusted by him. He is not meeting the moment; he doesn't have the fight in him.
this should be the last straw on Shumer. The election results clearly required a new approach to leadership. This should have been addressed back when leaders were selected, but NOW it's glaringly necessary.
Especially crazy since they can do the "silent filibuster" where the threat is enough and you don't have to hold the floor (which is what Magas did). Not only is that bullshit to begin with, but the fact that the Dems won't even do that is beyond sad. They clearly choose a Vichy over Vimy approach.
So tired CorpDems are a face of the same GOP coin They always protect their interest & money flying the false flag
DECORUM OVER DEMOCRACY
As citizens we’ve been careless of our governance Now we’re paying the price @schumer.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov
He is too old & has never put up resistance Congress will cave The fight just got worse NO CLOTURE! @schumer.senate.gov
VOTE NO CLOTURE
For all that is holy why do you refuse to fight for what is right!!
@wyden.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov
Exactly! Chuck should have stopped everything back when McConnell would not let Obama have his Supreme Court pick. Now we are living with a MAGA supermajority. 😳
The career Democrats can't get it through their heads that the trumpublicans are NOT playing fair or nice.
Get your head out of your ass, Senator Schumer. They don't deserve your cooperation. The shutdown is theirs!
GROW SOME BALLS DEMOCRATS!
1/2 Sean, please primary Durbin. He’s not capable of defending the country. In 1990, when Lithuania was declaring independence (both Durbin and I are Lithuanian), Durbin was urging them to go slow and claiming that independence would upset the collapsing USSR.
2/2 I got people to write 250 handwritten letters to Senators, Representatives, and Pres. Bush in support of Lithuanian independence. Durbin lacked the necessary courage to lead then and he lacks it now. I spent 27 years in Argo and Brookfield and I think you would make a fine, courageous Senator.
Schumer wants it all to be over so he can get out of D.C. on a book tour. Not only is he a wimp, he is prioritizing his personal vanity project over standing up against fascism.
The Senate Democrats must use the power of the filibuster and vote it down. The Senate Democrats must take a firm stand against Trump and the radical extremist Republicans. They must not allow harmful bills to pass. They must protect the people. Do not be afraid when you are doing what is right.
To keep the judiciary open. Schumer did a terrible job selling his position but a 6 month bill that gives DOGE a speed bump and keeps the focus on Trump is the least worst outcome.
Can someone tell me why this statement by Schumer is wrong re govt shutdown "the Trump administration would have full authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel nonessential, furloughing staff with no promise that would ever be rehired."?
Is the idea that Rs would be forced to eat a govt shutdown which NO VOTER WANTS during a time when they control all 3 branches? So of course it would be on them.

Close down govt = no courts open to shut down trump.

Make sense now? I hope so.

The whole institution is broken and a mockery of democracy.
1. No shut down so Dems are harder to blame for tanking economy.
2. Courts remain open to fight Elon.
3. We don’t have to watch our shitty leaders try to navigate the politics of shut down.
4. Blame lands on hapless Senate leadership, maybe pushing for change.

I'm sorry that Senate Democrats are playing games while the Republicans take a wrecking ball to our economy, national security, and Constitution.
I'm also sorry that we lost Rep. Grivalja today, a true people's champion.
Schumer is just another rich traitor
