Pretending today is day #1 in the shutdown.
*Federal Judges could not have reinstated thousands of jobs to prob. federal workers.
*A judge could not have questioned Trump's DOJ attorneys in the Alien Act case. They are in trouble and have cost the US $$$$$$$$$$$. The court record "is in writing."
It’s too late for that
The base has had enough. The establishment is working for their big money donors just like the gop.
When moderates want these pukes out, they’ve lost the room.
It's also time to STOP THINKING IT'S A MESSAGING PROBLEM. It's about POLICY. We need NEW DEAL/CIVIL RIGHTS style policies and enforcers. Build a coalition of power around that. Then victory is guaranteed.
Someone needs to go to Chuck’s home, like he did when he strong armed President Biden, and tell him he needs to RESIGN for the good of the country.
Today would be a good day for that.
Psaki was spot on, perfectly played! Not only did she imply that Schumer is out of touch, she gave a good example of why he must go. The Dems need a senate leader with charisma, one who speaks with passion & from the heart. Like Pelosi, Chuck has served with honor, but now it's time for him to go.
Chuck Schumer is not the man for this moment in time. We need democrats to militantly oppose Trump & this lawless GOP, not to capitulate in the interest of futile cooperation. These aren't normal times! Besides the future belongs to our youth, not old foggies like him. He must resign NOW!
He is a modern day Hindenburg. Yesterday’s hero who thinks the institutions will withstand an autocrat and who by acting on this foolish belief unwillingly helps a dictator in the saddle. Learn from history US. It all happened before in Germany. That is the playbook they are following.
Schumer should resign as minority leader. Tonight would not be to soon. Let someone who understands the crisis America is in and has the courage to take action - and not roll over and play dead. And then Schumer gaslights us about how his was the correct strategy.
I agree because he doesn’t know how to fight these GOP members we need to have leaders who take it to the GOP hard and know there game I will never vote for my Senator in Nevada again I will leave her name of the ballot at least Rosen was not dumb enough to vote for maga cr
Currently, I'd say he's bordering on dangerous. I'm livid with him. Like I said in my comment, I wasn't disagreeing that he needed to go, I was just stating that I didn't have a lot of faith in Hochul picking his replacement.
Schumer is the new Neville Chamberlain of the ineffectual Democrat party. As a whole, they have not fought hard enough against fascist rethuglicans for decades. This is the manifestation of democrats refusal to fight back aggressively to rethuglicans terrible legislation over the years.
Psaki is absolutely right.
Instead to hawking a book Schumer and all Dems need to be in front of town halls, on social media and every podcast talking about how the feds are destroying our country.
We need leaders who can meet the moment and respond quickly.
Here Jen goes with the ageism stuff like she did Biden @jenpsaki.msnbc.com
Wonder what the excuse will be when @msnbc.com ratings drop even more when @maddow.msnbc.com and possible @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com leave.
Schumer has never been good. https://youtu.be/-Qxr7BO1M_Q?feature=shared
Schumer has been a polite colleague in Congress and nothing was accomplished by that. He believes cooperation is the key, but by now he should realize that it is not a workable strategy with a GOP that is afraid of its own president and his appointed officials. This is a war! Nice guys die in war.
What?? He cancelled his book tour? I had plans to see him at my library and …I’m joking. Fk him and his book. Democracy is 💯 crumbling and he’s part of the problem. Time for flame throwers to take over.
She joined the ones voicing for President Biden to step down. That’s when I lost respect for her. She was in his administration and that was a shocker for me, when she did that.
It’s the playing the victim and not wanted to face voters over “security concerns” that make my blood boil in disgust. He’s a snake in the grass and he doesn’t intend to help us out in anyway. He’d rather go on a book tour than to fight for us. MAGGOTS won’t buy your book nor will us dems.
There were nine other Democrats who voted with him. Why isn’t she saying the same thing about them?
If Democrats were realistic, they would understand what they did.
There’s no way of knowing which decision would’ve been the best re Trump/Musk/economy, but Schumer pulled the rug from under Jeffries & the House, & is misreading or not caring about the party’s base - strategic mistakes that could’ve been avoided no matter his vote. That’s a leadership problem.
I’ve only been to New York twice in my life but I always felt New Yorkers were a tough stock of people and they deserve a Senator that matches that energy. Schumer may have at one time but I think that time is past. Bernie is kicking his a€€.
Messages.....how about they FIGHT!!!, we're not in the diplomacy part any more, we're passed that, we're in a fight for democracy and we're losing, ELBOWS UP MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!
this man fucked up so hard not even jen can defend him. and that's like, her whole job. cuck schumer fucked us all. this is a thing that will be major history is we survive enough for history to be written about this time.
Why isn’t the #DNC Senate meeting RIGHT NOW to #remove the #Judas; @schumer.senate.gov TODAY?!?
Why isn’t the #cancer of the #BlueNAZI ten being excised?!?
Call NOW, pressure with donations and DEMAND removal!!
Every day #Schumer “leads” is a day tRump WINS!!
The terrifying thing is ok we are mad here, but this is an echo chamber, if you go out in the real world red and even purple areas, disgusting as it is, Trump and MAGA is picking up steam. People who hate government are LOVING this. And they are A LOT of those people. It's only getting more popular
And that is because of how bad the messaging is. People don't understand what they are doing. And they need to stop saying the bad, then ending it with "for tax cuts for the rich" no one cares about that. It's a soft landing. Say the bad part then full stop and let that sink in
Once upon a time, fringe ideas sprouted in a corner echo chamber until they became mainstream. We need our echo right now if only to preserve our conviction on right and wrong, against the lies and evil manipulations. 3.5% is what we need, so we need to grow that echo into a roaring echo.
Someone give this old asshole some money to run with and I'll challenge Dick Durbin. I'd love to tell Trump to go fuck himself to his fat fucking face.
There's my campaign slogan Illinois.
He got too comfortable. He likes the trappings of the job more than doing the actual job, and the job right now is to use every bit of leverage to slow down Trump. He threw away his leverage, then decided to do book signings. 🤦♂️
The grifters are on BOTH sides of the isle. When the people elected to represent the citizens of the United States are allowed to become insanely wealthy due to special privileges from the position, they no longer represent Americans. The system has been permanently destroyed.
Do we need to do more? Absolutely! Did you want a closed federal government so the President can decide which agencies are essential and never open government again? Think bigger picture. Trump was so mad he goaded Schumer to try to get him to vote no. This dem bashing needs to stop! Work together!
Stop giving Israel money their main business in Israel during trumps first Term was scamming older Americans out of stocks in the market they would pretend to be brokers and steal from older Americans
Did he ever respond to Trump’s rude statement: “… Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I’m concerned. He’s become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He’s not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian …”
Anyone think the fascist destroying America are happier the Democrats are distracted with this internal fighting or that we think Senators can do anything to stop him before it’s too late?
There was an old man named Chuck Schumer
Turned out he’s just another boomer
Who with it all on the line,
Thought of the books he could sign.
His term should’ve ended much sooner!
New messengers & start listening to the people who voted for them. We did not elect them so they could just lay about getting rich on insider trading & we did not elect democrats to agree with republicans.
They have become so arrogant they can't be trusted or taken seriously. Embarrassing & wrong.

Establishment normie Dem Psaki says it’s time to go? You should probably go.

The governor will appoint a Democrat.
The caucus can elect a new leader, and it cannot be Durbin.
My only hope is that they will do less damage than Schumer since they won’t have any power.
I think Murray should be Minority Leader.

Or stay soft. After all, a few harmless snowflakes working together can unleash an avalanche of construction.
Stop the infighting.
Focus on common goals.
Make a plan
Follow through.
Shameful doesn't touch it.
Any Democrat thinking this is politics as usual isn't paying attention.
She could have been a part of the solution. Zero respect.
If Democrats were realistic, they would understand what they did.
Dems have NO messengers.
Replacing Schumer will be filling a void.
But Dems still don’t comprehend their essential problem and hence how to fix it.
Have me on your program. I can get you refs. It can trigger a major change in the whole approach.
Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema flummoxed Chuck routinely.
