Lord help us. I’m trying to see the long game here but I’m coming up with nothing. Schumer doesn’t realize that there is no game left. This was the last play.

Slotkin is RINO. I can’t believe I voted for her. She says one thing but does another. She has voted with Republicans on too many things to ever be trusted again. Why in the hell did I vote Dem if I got Rep anyway? I should have voted Green at this point, it would have at least sent a message.

Schumer and some other Democrats are part of a Controlled Opposition that give the illusion of an opposition. They function as a mole, now acting with the government in power.
They don't have any sense of loyalty to the people or real opposition to the ruling power. They are bribed self-servers.
I think BS. He opposes it because he knows they couldn’t win the vote. If any republicans had voted no in the house, they would have found enough dem votes to pass it.
Makes sense. I definitely think Schumer's pulling a Pelosi, by going public and taking on the heat for others. Jeffries is shady AF, so I don't take anything he does at face value.
I don’t give a frig! He and Durbin,Gillibrand, and others are hurting veterans, the disabled, children, seniors etc that’s a No to then being re elected!
The sad irony among Democrats who worry about "shutting down the government" is that the Trump-DOGE-Project 2025-rabid MAGAism is already shutting down the government. Either way, the authoritarians are going to keep shutting down the government. Democrats would be fools to "join" this process.
But Jefferies too weak to influence Schumer so at the end we have two extremely weak wussies as leaders .. We will not forget that neither of then stuck their neck out for we the damn people.. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
Maybe @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is finally figuring it out. Hakeem, cont to listen to the constituencies you are supposed to represent, playing to a mythical middle that is further and further right is not the way. Listen to the people you are supposed to represent.It's your job. Thx 4 this start
Vote NO. @whitehouse.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @hirono.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Your duty is to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Call 202-224-3121. Tell these senators; vote NO
I am no fan of Rep. Jeffries, who is usually too milquetoast & too timid — but kudos to him for this strong statement, which is all the stronger given that it came out after @schumer.senate.gov’s shameful, despicable, inexcusable, unforgivable capitulation & decision to fund the Trump/Musk shitshow.
I have to agree with Jeffries. The buried clause giving Cheeto virtually unlimited power is enough to make the bill treasonous to vote yes on. GOP are trying to combine 2 VERY DIFFERENT things. It’s true blackmail by GOP . They want to put the shutdown on us! Tell everyone about this sneaky shit!
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin: Bob Dylan
URGENT! KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!

He’s a total loss to America. We’ve always known he was weak, but now he’s a traitor to Dem voters and shall be treated as such.
Make his life miserable when he’s outside his home!
Fight these do nothing but roll over elected Dems!
During a shutdown the president gets special powers and I think he's proven that he should not have special powers he's also shouldn't have any power I think he should be in jail.
I agree with you on the spineless point. BUT — in this instance, Jeffries at least delivered all but one House Dem vote against the CR, and has now issued this strong statement effectively rebuking Schumer. So, in this one instance, Jeffries gets a pass from me — Schumer, obviously, does not.
I'm disillusioned by Jeffries' tired, insincere schtick where he moves his hands a lot, pauses for effect, and speaks like a preacher, but it's all mindless, political bullshit where nothing is actually "said". I was so happy when he moved into leadership, but he's a broken record of nothing.
Yep, I've been calling it pulpit pounding. He did it a lot last fall and it garnered a lot of attention and raised the crowds' energy. But now with the energy up, we are ready to march to the battlefield, but he is still standing at the pulpit asking for more donations. Seems a bit unserious now.
The problem is wealth inequality & BILLIONAIRES-welfare queen bums that have and will continue to steal from working &middles classes.

I'd say it's an age thing, but Bernie and Warren still have plenty of piss and vinegar left in them, so it's gotta be something more essential to their being than age.
Schumer is not reading the room at all, no-one at all wants the Democrats to vote with Republicans. Jeffries isn't much better. New leadership is needed, now. You have AOC and Bernie cutting through with huge popular support. Now is the time to fight, not to be meek mice.

Oh, well, well. Another "strong statement" from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social all while to tries to guilt or whip Democratics who actually have a moral compass into following his limp lead.
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. Chuck take a risk that will be supported by all Dems. Show us your spine and we will fight as never before.
WILL SOMEBODY JUST WAKE THE FUCK UP AND REALIZE THAT POLITICS AS USUAL IS DEAD - AND WE NEED LEADERS TO GET US OUT OF THIS? screw the substack analyses and the political podcasts and the Capitol Hill rhetoric. Plenty of. us are ready to follow - IF WE CAN HAVE A REAL, EFFECTIVE LEADER.
Schumer has turned off his phones so you can send an email to him at [email protected] and tell him that if he doesn't have the cojones to stand up against the Republicans then he needs to resign from minority leader. His job is to REPRESENT us and be our voices and do our will
It took Chuck's absolute spinelessness to make Hakeem look good? Jesus, this party's leadership is bullshit. More Jasmine, AOC, Merkley and Green please. 🤦♂️
As a Canadian, it seems your country, and then ours, Denmark, Panama, Ukraine, Poland,…will be lost. You guys have ONE SHOT at resistance and, if that isn’t happening, it dies with you. No amount of money in MAGA, Republican, Democrat bank accounts will ever make up for loss of country…to Trump!?
Watched “Hamilton” last night. In the scene of Washington stepping away, I realized how seldom we see that country-above-self, steeped in thought, history, vision. Not just now but especially now. Schumer lacks vision for transcending this moment; he’s always been a gatekeeper.
Thank you Leader Jeffries! This is what we want to see. You may not be able to control everything currently but just speaking out from your position is a big boost for flagging spirits💙
The trumpa-loompa wants to Control ALL of OUR $ with NO Over site or SAY of the PEOPLE!
Chuck Schumer was ELECTED to do the PEOPLES WILL
Not what his Cowered ass thinks best!
Chuck Schumer is acting like a Republican by IGNORING his constituents!
Chuck Schumer is on Bluesky
Go tell him your opinion
Well said. Now get out into the public and hold town hall meetings in each and every county across the country. Listen to the people, not your corporate benefactors. #StopTheChaos
is it usually a good sign if one of the most feckless, opportunist politicians in Washington almost looks like he has a spine when compared to you? asking for a close personal 74 year old friend
Someone with legal knowledge, is there anything to what Chuck is saying about the judges if there is a shutdown? If this is true, what recourse do "we the people" have?
Is he forgetting that THEY hold the majority. Am I missing something? Voting no, gives us the filibuster leverage. I’m tired of these old school Dems who are killing us. We need to hammer them with emails, phone calls and rallies. NO MORE MONEY TO THE DEMS! They are no longer working for us.
Maybe. The House only needed a majority, so Jeffries can say whatever he wanted -- didn't have to play ball and still couldn't be held responsible because it would pass.
The Senate, where they need 8 Dems, is the problem because WTF Chuck is giving it to them.

Yet another statement by Jeffries so he can say he tried to put pressure on but… we don’t need statements. Why doesn’t he have his buddy Schumer in a chokehold until he hears/does what the people want?
Well, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social isn’t one to currently trust either. He’ll “say” he’s voting no, then we’ll all find out after he voted yes. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov need to go -
It's time for the 37 Senators who had the courage and integrity to vote against Schumer and his leadership team to use their 37 vote majority to replace Schumer as Senate minority leader.
I think it's a good point. And makes me think that a shutdown is EXACTLY what Trump/musk want. And based on what they have done so far I don't believe for one second this shutdown would look anything like past shutdowns. I fear it will be so much worse.
Yes. If it’s true that decisions made by the executive branch re: gov agencies and workers during a gov shutdown are not viewable by the judiciary, that’s because no one forsaw an president who would be working against the government.
That’s why an insurrectionist shouldn’t have been on the ballot.
I don't think for a second this isn't coordinated. Both are corporate Democrats & moving the same way, exact same weak messaging opposite what the people want. IMO 🤑🤑🤑 was the reason & if I had to guess who gets offered the most to sell us out...it's these two with the most power on the Dems side.
I called Senator Cantwell and Senator Murray at 7:45 making your case.
That is the first time in my 80 years I have called my Senator.

Good thing no one reads those online messages I’m sending to Congress. I’m overly emotional lately.
Jeffries found his spine. Good on you man. I'm happy that you found yourself at the end of things, this great experiment, on the right side of history.
There is the proof that the neoliberals do not understand how to wield power and that they do not give a shit about the people. Get rid of Schumer and Jeffries. Put an actual left leaning politician in charge.
I doubt Schumer would've made his "I'M VOTING YES" speech if he didn't have the 7 other D votes needed to pass CR. Fetterman (shock) already said yes. Just 6 more knee-benders needed. I was nauseous when I heard Schumer, cuz I felt like this was our last chance to take a hard stand vs the insanity.
He @schumer.senate.gov was setting stage for compromise when this moment was opportunity to make real stand.If he knew in advance he had the votes lined up to pass the CR means he was counting on pre-determined outcome, rather than truly fighting for a solution benefits. He thinks we are dumb.

No, they are on a similar page, Jeffries is about the same. Schumar caved under the “shutdown” pressure. Jeffries “might” have done the same. They were dealt different cards. Jeffries hasn’t exactly been fighting any differently than Schumar. Both are relatively quiet.
signals that they both might lack boldness or will to fight back against political gridlock.Quiet, cautious leadership means playing it safe—and in this case, that approach might be exactly what allows Trump/Muskrat to persist.

Seems very important. No recourse for shutdown firings or deleting agencies or programs. 1:40-2:10.
