Schumer is demonstrating that resistance and change has to come from us.

Don't spend money at MAGA business. Don't sell your goods or services to red-hatters. Fuck those people. They don't care about anybody but themselves. CUT THEM OFF.

Perhaps Senators should take a vote to unseat @schumer.senate.gov as Leader. From my vantage point, he’s a lousy leader. Always has been. Time for new, younger leadership, someone who is not so risk averse.

Chuck Schumer needs to show some spine. The government shutdown has already occurred. The mass firings have accomplished that. The President is ALWAYS blamed for a shut down. The last small lever Democrats have is being deactivated in the CR. Do not give that away!!!!!!!!!

I am SO disappointed with Schumer - I feel absolutely betrayed. How did the Republicans turn him??

Everyone, PLEASE read this excellent piece. STOP thinking 2026, START thinking 3 months!

Read the room Chuck! @schumer.senate.gov was it worth the 40 pieces of silver?

Schumer needs to recognise who he’s dealing with. There is no strategy other than denying the republicans any support and letting decisions fall on them and them alone. Schumer is out of touch

Agreed. Schumer needs to be replaced. He is continuing to pretend things are normal. They are not normal. Schumer just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Jeffries managing to get a bunch of Democratic house members to take a potentially risky vote on principle only to have Chuck surrender is such a betrayal

Schumer makes a good point ... Shutting down will give tRump and musk even more unchecked power... rather side with a shit republican plan than give the Tangerine Toddler king status.
yesterday I was all about burning it to the ground, calling Schumer spineless, without thinking of the consequences.

if this was clearly on 2026/2028 elections I would have said something different... minus all the bullshit, bottom line... shutting down the govt would be a power play to tRump and his minions...

not to mention hurt everyone all around...

tRump must be put in check at every opportunity, like now.

Feel like the Biden switch out all over again.

So does Dem leadership actually talk to their members before making statements?

I hope Chuck's constituents give him an earful before the vote!!

Was it a plan? By say we are trying to help the citizens, but voting against it?

Moderate our town hall too! You will recall that we had 1,500 people at our town hall last month (with only a few days notice!) We know you’re busy, but it’s nice here. We’ll give you a beer too.😜

Chuck was quoted yesterday morning as a no on the CR . . . thought that was also no on cloture / yes on filibuster . . .

Get the defibrillator ! Let’s go back to the future and fix Chuck . . . ! — b.rad
