Congratulations to @schumer.senate.gov and the others who just played into the hands of an insane dictator who just said it's illegal for cnn and msnbc to criticize him

We will never forget what 10 Democrats in the Senate has brought upon the United States of America and its citizens.
Their names will be etched in our history books for the rest of time.
They along with this administration are the harbingers of Destruction of the Constitution so many died for.
Did you happen to look at the downside of the shutdown. Would it have expanded trumps powers in firing federal employees that could not return and filling those jobs with really bad people? Can you look into that? Easy to condemn Schumer and I was very angry but there is more to the story.
if the government shuts down for a month, they then have to reduce the furloughed and laid off workers by 25% so DOGE wins, because they don't need an excuse to fire them. it BENEFITS DOGE to have a shutdown for a month!
Trump thinks he is Russia. Trump thinks he is the Putin in the west. He is reconstructing U.S. Gov in the form of the Kremlin. His people that support him are Kremlinites.
I can’t wait to see him on his stupid fucking book tour! He’s coming to the Bay Area March 22nd - such a great way to spend my Saturday! See you there CUCK @schumer.senate.gov
The midterm elections is going to be an all out battle in 2026. Democrats need a clear message and it should be prices are going up. From groceries, cars, rent, utilities, and Trump, Elon Musk with the Republicans are letting this happen.
Whatever happened to freedom of speech? I guess that's only for them now. He can spew any hideous lie and insult he wants and we can say nothing. We'll see about that.
Sorry, but no. We need to right the Democrat' ship. Not start over. Did the Tea party or MAGA start a new party? No. Change starts with the leadership.
MAGA took the party of Lincoln and turned it into the Nazi party, changing the feckless leadership on the Democrats to a responsive workers party should be a lot easier.
It will soon be illegal for us to criticize the dictator too.
They will call us “internal enemies” and round us up.
Bet they are watching us online.
They will fucking come for us if we do too much…
So…WTF do we do to protect ourselves from this fucking Nazi Russian invasion?
I want my Mommy lol
Over 4 yrs, you'd think the Dems would've had a fail-safe plan to push back against Trump.
After J6, felony convictions, r*pe, r*cist, election denying, P2025, etc Dems would've been prepared. You don't want the bad to happen, but you plan for it just in case.
This is EXACTLY what I keep saying to myself. There has to be a fail-safe plan. I still believe that has to be true, but the only plan left, it seems is the one Heritage Foundation insinuated might happen when he called the actions stated in Project 2025 “will remain bloodless if the Left allows 1/
by a couple of billionaires, a felon president and Elon Musk on behalf of Project 2025 and the billionaire class, said plan (if it exists) is either going to be bloody or those with power to lead Democrats, non-MAGA Republicans and Independents are in on “THE COUP”!! 3/
it!” Thus, if there IS a fail-safe plan of those who hold the real power of Democrats, Independents and Non-MAGA Republicans at this point to enforce the Constitution and protect our Representative Republic from being dismantled 2/
While I agree with your initial sentiment I also think that CNN and MSNBC can be flushed down the toilet with little to no effect on society. They're garbage networks. They operate for a bottom line and a bottom line only.
Yup. You don’t hand over your lunch money to a bully. You STAND UP AND PUNCH HIM IN THE NOSE.🤬 Schumer and his 9 complicit losers literally just gave away our lunch money. The time for a new Democratic leadership in the Senate is now.
The vote maybe over but there will be more votes in the future. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. https://www.nationalfinancialplan.com
@schumer.senate.gov is one of the top five biggest cowards in what was #American History. For context, I taught it for 25 years. He’s top 5 for sure, maybe top 3. If publicly tarred and feathered to being unalive it wouldn’t be enough. What an unadulterated mother fucking traitor.
It’s all so very bad bad bad! Voters elected an evil, Nazi, lying ‘great white hope’ for America First but instead he is wrecking havoc & chaos on Americans’ livelyhood, jobs, health and sanity!🤬 Schumer may have helped stop a shutdown to save other workers’ job but we are all still in 💩GOP hell!
Democrats are giving aid to domestic terrorists. Way to go @chuckschumer.com and every traitor in the @senatedemocrats.bsky.social who just sold us out to racism. We will never forget.
Just like the Republicans would love to have their own @marcelias.bsky.social, us Dems need our own Mitch McConnell and @schumer.senate.gov is definitely not it!
I've been screaming this from the top of my lungs. Say what we want about McConnell, but he knew how to stop anything he didn't want or agreed with. Schumer is a coward!
the best I can say about this is that it keeps the focus on the unpopular actions of musk/trump, which will continue to increase their 'unfavorable' rating with the public. which is not saying much, I know.
Well if the shoe fits! I voted for Kamala Harris. I didn’t vote for an insurrectionist, who is also a 34 count convicted felon. Don’t be a tender criminal. This is fuckin insane! If trump want to act tough, then he can hear that he ain’t shit also.
Each one of them knew what they were doing each one of them are fascist they are not Democrats. Just because they’ve been sitting on the Democrat side doesn’t mean that’s what they are, masks off.Our government is diseased.They just let us know who they are! It’s not about voting,your vote is dead!
Only dems getting money from me are those who primary these 10 spineless democrats. When Rand Paul is more courageous than democratic leadership, the party has truly fallen.

Schumer said a shutdown would give Trump, Musk, and Russell Vought *complete* control over our government. They might never end the shutdown, and courts could be shut down (our only real line of defense right now). Neither option was good, but I think Schumer may have been right.
But they showed already complete control. And now it is with permission of democrats. A shut down would expose where America has ended up and there would possibly be more resistance, forcing Trump to look for compromises. Now he can continue in the same way.
The cowardly Democrats have slowed down the process of tearing down, giving Trump time to replace key people in strategic positions. Think of the leadership of the police and army. A dictator cannot really gain control over society without the help of the police and the army.
That is fair but we are only pushing towards the next possible shutdown. No other first world country does this debt ceiling bullshit because it is dumb. The system cant be fixed with reformism. Only revolutionary change can bring a better world.
Let me be a little more blunt… Schumer and the other democrats who voted in favor of the CR are pussy ass bitches who are unfit to serve this country. No one should donate money to any of these weak spineless politicians. Make it their last term and remove Schumer as minority leader!!!
It’s not illegal nor will it ever be. Saying so is a violation of the constitution and our rights as citizens. He can go fuck himself. Fuck President Donald J Trump and his little bitch Elon Musk. They both deserve the worst

Chucky will be soon proposing to vote with Trump to make it illegal to NOT call CNN illegal. Chuck Schumer has been appointed as head of the New Vichy America.
Elon wanted a shutdown. Wouldn’t that have been worse? He’s wanting money and to privatize. If the agencies close he might not have had them open up again… idk. All very upsetting.
to the Bushes, Clinton’s, the Obamas, harris’s etc etc - all those who r suppose to be so patriotic/loyal. The country is falling &all leaders just sit quietly & hide ! Shame on you-
get out -speak up-u have influences. Stop the steal -this time the stealing of our country!
I saw this morning responses in The NATION article from people about that .
People are so mad, and many of them typed that they will leave the Democratic Party.
US needs more than just 2 parties .
If you want a multi-party system, tell what needs to happen to get a multi-party system. You know the constitutional amendment process & the last successful amendment to the constitution. This ain’t some close your eyes & voila change. Stop under/misinforming people; it creates voter apathy.
It’s time we have a People’s Party…one that actually works FOR the people! After 20 years I’m leaving the Democratic Party as well! They should us who they were! ENOUGH!
In the meantime, we MUST (1) pass campaign finance reform, (2) pass term limits for Congress, (3) call our reps. every week: 202-224-3121, (4) protest often and (5) primary Dems who are in politics to serve themselves or their rich donors.
Possible claims of media “illegality” could include defamation, election interference, FCC violations (for broadcast networks), or undisclosed coordination with political campaigns — Hello
We see the true face of a part of the Democrats who think about their possessions and their security instead of fighting for the people who put them there only for that reason.
It’s one thing to primary them into retirement next time out, but does any state have a procedure where these cowards can be recalled from office during their term?
They need to resign now. No money from the party for them. Censure them. Whatever need to be done to kick these cowards out if the party. This wasn’t their democracy to just give away to a bunch of fascist traitors.
Thank you. I saved the list. I won't forget and I hope millions of others don't.
Schumer have fun with your book tour. I hope you get what Vance received at the Kennedy Center.
It’s a bitch—I live in CT, with family / best friends in NY and NH, and I’m ready to spend three days a week at least crashing in somebody’s basement to campaign for four primary opponents.
Don't be surprised if the lawsuits against DoDG start to get thrown out bc Congress codified DoGD cuts n gave the executive branch unchecked power but at least half the gov will not be shutdown 🤦🏿♀️ bc the other half of gov has been shutdown by DonOld n Musk those 10 Senate Dems supporting it all.
To be clear: This dirty bill wipes away many funding directives, and will now give the fascist Trump the power to reallocate money as he sees fit without any fear of judicial or legislative pushback.
Nice. Some people have sent their cats used kitty litter in boxes.
I sent a few with my rudest sediments. 🤣🍊💩
We all must keep on voicing our opinions! We shall not be silent!
I donate every month to my state Democratic Party, the DCCC and the DSCC. I just cancelled all donations. Feckless cowards. No strategy, no message, no fight, no reason to donate.
I've been thinking, with all this kaos and backsliding, wouldn't this be a good time to start a third party? One that would unite pissed off trumpers and dems? Maybe that would also be a way to make the electoral college obsolete...
Ukraine wasn't either.
But look how they've responded, for their flag & their right to be free of oppression.
🇷🇺 Nor 🇺🇸 should be able to steal land/lives/homes/resources from others.
They were better equipped for war than we are. We talk a big game but push comes to shove, there isnt going to be a revolution for a long while. We still believe in peaceful protest instead of a variety of tactics.
every day, 's somethin else, i can't believe they're all just... getting away with with this? 20 years ago any single one of the innumerable outrageous things trump and his team have done, or attempted to do, would've had them impeached, publicly ridiculed, career ended. What happened...
Decades of right-wing brainwashing and the death of real journalism (chasing ratings for entertainment) eroded people's ability to think critically and Democrats are complacent and incompetent, unable to mount any real opposition mostly because their leadership is just as beholden to big business.
both parties need to be rebuilt from the ground up, and then we need more than 2 parties, this bipartisan crap just isn't working, people treating their side like a sports team, treating politics and peoples lives like a game where the only thing that matters is winning, even if it means others die
I am both beyond furious and achingly sad. I have been a Democrat since 1970. We have been played. There’s no explanation that could help me swallow this BS. Enough.
He's going to use the Insurrection Act to declare martial law any day now. It's only a matter of time. When a POTUS says media networks are illegal for criticizing him, it's game over. Journalists will be arrested for saying anything negative about this administration. It's a forgone conclusion.
Oh. Hmmm. If you need me I’ll be in the backyard digging up some stuff for emergencies like a Trump led fascist consolidation of party and government power.
"No" is the only thing the Senate Dems had to do. But some of them couldn't even do that. It is so frustrating. How are we supposed to resist if our leaders can't?
It is total madness what America is going through now at the hands of an unelected Dog guy and the new King. The press needs to stick together and fight them to maintain #freespeech
I wouldn't have even thought it a few days ago, but now I'll say it, Schumer and all the other 9 need to resign. They sold out the US to worry about 2 years from now, and some of US might not even survive 2 years. Their action is remarkable by its incredible stupidity.
That's too charitable of a take on what Schumer & the others did if you ask me. But we do need braver leaders willing to take risks & fight back. You are 💯 right about that.
They didn’t even try to negotiate anything. It wouldn’t have passed without them and they didn’t ask for a single thing. Total dereliction of duty to their constituents.
No worries, Chuck will reach out to his "colleagues across the isle" and express with remorse & explain through reason that it's uncool for the POTUS to say hurtful things. Problem solved!
If the 14th amendment is overturned by Supreme Court it would also take away DUE PROTECTION PROCESS and EQUAL PROTECT PROTECTION. States could deny “any person” from life, liberty without due process. It would allow states to deny “any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws”.
Our Congress will not save us. The checks and balances have fallen. The People are all that's left. When do we organize and mobilize? Is there a site to begin funding a mass march?
Did he? Or did he try to compromise to keep the govt open for the people? Wouldn’t a shutdown give even more power to djt and em? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I'm sure they'll all think that's awful, but they'll tell you they can't do anything about it because the alternative is worse. That seems to be their M.O.
This is not normal.
DJT 's mental illness:
-The self focus, -rageful retaliation, -need for total ownership of every accomplishment in the universe,
-"winning" absolves his crimes,
Democrats have only ONE option: total majorities.
Elections no longer matter. There are only 4 possibilities that I see:
-25th Amendment
-14th Amendment
-SCOTUS defense of the Constitution
-revolution.
Weak revolution (sufficient protests) might be enough to trigger one of the other 3.
Another wet dream solution is for large protests to force enough Republicans to resign en masse rather than to face Trump and their voters.
#NotBloodyLikely
Well, the last one is happening... disabled veterans are protesting. Democrats represent corporations. Republicans represent palm colored oligarchs, and they all represent money. time for the changing of the guards. 16M veterans, + 70M civs, + 30M unmedicated Moms! ✨
Why would Dems like the fact that he demands money from people who need for him to let them cheat.
Profound ignorance creating tariff wars that will cause another Depression.
Cutting agencies that make America the cleanest, safest, advanced nation? 170M losing SSA? VA?
$4T in tax cuts to 300K?
Acting like what? We tried warning but voters didn't believe us..we knew.
This tariff war, the profound monetary policy created by tax cuts at the top and austerity at the bottom...
1. This is the Rs dream come true.
2. Elon/DT = no laws, impunity, Treasury
3. Elon wants to be a spaceman
So wrong. RW believes Dems want drama as a strategy. Fact is, DJTs narcissism will kill millions.
His crimes are real.
His mental illness is real.
His persecution of all perceived threats is real.
His destruction of economy is real.
This isn't a game.
I'm terrified.
Yes and we will never forget! My late parents who moved to their NH lake home in retirement from MA both were staunch supporters of Hassan and Shaheen. They are surely turning over in their graves.😞

I bet that read is as lame as he is in real life.

CR allows federal courts to stay open. Those harmed by admin can sue those responsible.
Shutting govt down also closes federal courts. People harmed can't sue.
CR or Shut Down? A dilemma solved by CR.
Be mad at GOP, dt, DOGE, Cabinet, Dept. Secretaries.
During a shutdown, the executive branch has LEGAL authority to run “essential services” of the government.
Remember covid “essential services…”
Would you want Elon to have LEGAL authority to decide what is essential?
