NO NO NO THIS IS THE MOMENT TO STAND UP AND AGAINST THE MONSTERS PROPOSING THE DISMANTLING OF OUR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. Do not back down from this fight. Unite our party and JUST SAY NO. God help us and the American people if you vote yes, and DAMN YOU IF YOU DO. https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/mess...
I just shared a video about homelessness why I'm anti capitalist anti-imperialist. People living like that was unacceptable to marx lenin& all the people they spent their lives fighting with. what ultimately led to the October revolution people to live not die of poverty.
The Democratic leadership is about as useful as a rubber pencil. They better do something or step aside for someone willing to fight far right nutjobs.
Term limits! Period. No lifetime benefits. Go back to regular job.Get health insurance like the rest of us. Live on Social Security and have Medicare when retired. That's how this BS stops!
They don't get benefits once they leave office except earned benefits like retirement. Same rules as other fed employees. They buy their healthcare on the ACA exchange instead of the federal employee exchange and can not buy the cheapest.
If you want term limits, that's what a ballot is for.
They wanted a 30-day CR, not a 6 month CR that gives Trump more power and money to run America to the ground while enriching himself and his rich friends. However, i doubt they'll get the 30 day which will cause them to tank the wish list CR the Repubs want.
No. This is not going to be a two week shut down. They may shut down the federal government for years, and dismantle everything. These are not normal times. Don't expect normal efforts to reverse a shut down. A shut down gives autocratic power to Musk and Trump. This is an emergency.
I’ve said a few times that Dems were woefully unprepared for what’s happening, and that’s true. But it’s even more clear that most- at least most leaders- are UNWILLING to truly fight- and that’s worse.
Schumer was probably told by his AIPAC handler to convince the Dems. Keep voting in AIPAC shills and you will keep being disappointed. AIPAC doesn’t care about the American people.
I get that pushing SEN DEMS to vote against cloture tomorrow to prevent Senate magas from adopting the House CR is against the odds, but the battle is NOT over. Schumer is over! Tomorrow has not yet happened. Sen DEMS can still vote NAY. I may be let down HARD! I don't care. I will not yet yield...
I’m to the point that I’m looking for a new party. I know the stakes but I think there’s so much anger towards Schumer and the Democrats not fighting back that there is impetus to form a strong yet less “traditional” party that could caucus with whatever Dems are left. Maybe I’m naive, maybe not
URGENT! CALL YOUR SENATORS THIS MORNING!
☎️ 202-224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on the budget resolution and demand they vote no on cloture (speeding up the CR bill vote) and NO on the resolution itself. Cuts to social security, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits must not happen!
I personally believe the Dems need to move differently. The standard rules no longer apply. They aren’t going to make inroads unless they change their modus operandi. So a new minority leader may be warranted.
Duckworth, Sanders, or Warren are my picks. They actually are speaking up against the regime and only voted for little marco cause they thought he would protect Ukraine...but no other picks.
Force Schumer out and have Hochul appoint AOC to take his place. She's one of only a few with some courage. Also, Dick is the perfect name for Durbin, albeit flaccid.
Don't tell me what I know and don't know. I'm a born and raised New Yorker. Schumer is a feckless windbag, not fit for the moment. And if you think otherwise, you're blind to the facts in front of your face.
Oh, Durbin? Yeah, he's just as bad. The only thing he could muster as chair of the judiciary committee is strongly-worded letters to SCOTUS. He should also retire -- and take the rest of the Democratic machine with him. Both he and Schumer are the posterboys for term limits. I used to like Durbin.
The bonus is that Trump will refuse to respect a woman, and he'll just want to keep calling her Pocahontas, which makes him look more and more like a petulant man-baby.

Hey congress dems, a fucking republican @adamkinzinger.bsky.social is calling out your shit! it's clear the government hates its citizens and are actively trying to destroy them. 🖕 @aoc.bsky.social
@repjasmine.bsky.social
Schumer needs step down & let @ChrisMurphyCT lead @SenateDems.
He speaks to the moment, the urgency & he knows the mission. He's dynamic & can articulate what's needed & reach the younger generation that tunes out Schumer's weak response.
So did democrats learn nothing from when the Republicans only had the House. This debt issue would come up and the Republicans would exact some kind of measure in return for supporting it. And Democrats think they can’t do the same?
@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
WHY IS THE ENTIRE WORLD ALLOWING TRUMP AND PUTIN TO LEAD AND BULLY?! STOP THEM!!! GIVE US ALL AN EFFIN BREAK?! ANYONE?!!! SHAME ON US ALL FOR ALLOWING TWO MEN TO DO THIS! LEADERS WHERE ARE YOU?’
I understand the frustration by progressives, but this is a lose-lose proposition for the dems...at the end of the day, trump and Musk don't give a damn about the people or the suffering a shutdown will cause and they will wait it out to infinity and their purpose will be served either way!
No one gives a fuck if it’s lose lose for the dems.
They should NOT be HELPING trump to destroy America and as he eventually removes more & more rights.
Absolutely. A new minority leader is needed NOW. Chuck is useless. We need a strong progressive younger leader now. Take the turtles lead chuck and step down NOW.
How pathetic is he!!!
Once again he folded like a deck of cards. He has no spine or backbone to fight for the people. He is a total loser. Trump has his number to a T. He said he would fold as they laughed at him. What a clown.
Republicans played this CR vore right against the givt shutdown deadline.
Stop buying their script. Pay attention to the Horrible CR.
Do your jobs senate dems! Stop being gaslighted. Recognize the same game played again and again already!!! And learn to grow and show a spine!
The republicans are sidelining the senate dems..and what is schmer doing? Buying into the gaslighting by the Republicans, who are usurping the power given to the dems by their constituents. Shutdown has no connection to this CR vote. Get it already!!!! .
What is the procedure for that in the Senate? We've heard plenty how it's done in the House with the GOP but I have zero idea about the Senate or if it's different depending on the party.
Schumer is probably right on this. Trump wants the shut down. The Courts will shut down and they are our best defense. Shut down in trumps hand would be worse.
Being political to make it seem like they are being hard liners on this. But, they know there are at least 6 votes to pass it. Show boating and riling up the Dem base. We need a level head to lead us.
Schumer isn't even answering calls anymore or taking messages. Did the 47 mob get to him? Are they threatening to throw him out a window of down stairs?
Oh yes plz @pattymurray.bsky.social @cantwell.senate.gov (who doesn’t work for her constituents) @schumer.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov (useless tp ass kisser) @booker.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov
@democrats.senate.gov If you do not have the fire to raise hell when the other side is BREAKING THE LAW, you need to be replaced, and we have long memories.
Another 6 months of this chaos would be preposterous. All Dems must vote against this CR. Solidarity would show their constituents that we all stand together. Do not obey in advance
Schumer has no fight left. He should resign immediately or be pushed out. Schumer is not leadership material anymore and has not been for some time. Schumer pushed Biden out for pretty much the same reason.
We will never know but obviously a third of this country is both racist and misogynist! Biden was picked by the Dems and the MSM (minus a couple) jumped on the senility bandwagon. IMO no way in HELL could president Biden do as shitty of a job as Trump has done already!
Of course, Trump is worse. But the debate showed that Biden could not be president for four more years. He should have said in 2023 that he wasn’t going to run again.
One bad debate means nothing! Count Trump's... obvious precursors to the horrors he has already committed! His mental ability is as bad OR WORSE. The hurricane map sharpie, Hannibal Lecter.. the man is beyond delusional, plus highly corrupt/greedy/self serving and UNFIT!
I am not denying any of that. The reality is that Biden could not have served a second term. He should have never tried. His ego over the country’s welfare.
It’s time to Primary:
Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto, Dick Durbin, Brian Schatz, Maggie Hassan, Kirsten Gillibrand, Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, & Angus King
Vote all of them out!!!!
He ruined his legacy in my opinion. What a dick. All of them are a huge bag of dicks and we can only hope they all retire before we vote them out (if we have the chance at all).
I don't know if it's true but it was explained that during a government shutdown there is X amount of funds to disperse. That's all decided by trump and musk
They will control the government entirely
Before we judge Schumer we should go directly to his sources and listen to why
I know I am not smart enough to block Trusk.
I will with hold judgement against Schumer till I understand fully
These are strange dangerous times
He has never failed us in the past
Think for a sec tho…R’s have set up a poison pill-Vote yes-everyone still gets a paycheck and the blame stays clearly with R’s BUT,lose credibility w/voters. Vote no,lights go out, paychecks stop, prob for good bc who’s gunnu end the shutdown when R’s have what they want AND they WILL blame dems!!
So what? They will blame the democrats when the shit hits the fan for voting for this CR that is going to devastate this country. They have the majority, Democrats absolutely should not help them pass this dumpster fire CR!
dems get blamed anyway, yes- but everyone knows it’s BS. If dems filibuster the senate (bc R’s have the majority)- then R’s get a govt a shutdown and Dems will be responsible. It will no longer seem like BS. A yes vote allows eyes to be kept on R’s and paychecks in pocket.
Sorry but that’s dumb, part of how we got into this mess in the first place, sitting out an election is voting for Republicans. Other ways to demonstrate your displeasure without handing the republicans a win !
Letters? Protests? withholding my few $? The "leadership" must change to those who will take a stand, and doesn't go "oh my, what if the gop don't like it?".
Blaming me or any voter at this point plays into Schumer.... doesn't' matter what he does , you will stay loyal. Now that is dumb.
We DEMAND better democratic leaders, and candidates—who will primary the weak cowards putting career over country. You knew what you signed up for, Congress members. Get the hell out of the way if you cannot be an effective leader. Looking at you @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov
Schumer is STATUS QUO protector of the two party/one oligarchy Government that has been killing the middle class for 40 years. Contemptible bullshit artists with a $200 tie and disdain for the working class. Hell is empty cuz all the Devils are in Washington, D.C.

Close down govt = no courts open to shut down trump.
CR is the better of 2 evils.
Make sense now? I hope so.
Still not sure he’ll bother to read it since he doesn’t seem to care what we all think but here goes anyway.
@schumer.senate.gov
That goes for any other dem thinking of voting to give trump 6 more months to dismantle democracy.
Dear Democrats,
DON’T ASK ME FOR ANOTHER PENNY!
You are useless!
He is all about rooting out corruption.
Schumer is a walking meme. We need smart, serious leadership.
Stop being an a**
I vote for Amy K. And I'll get scorched because she doesn't believe in scorching.

Did they?
Oh please tell me this happened
Democrats lose because they capitulate. Schumer must step down & be replaced with a fighter otherwise it’s all over for the democratic party.
"Mostly dead is not all dead."
Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto, Dick Durbin, Brian Schatz, Maggie Hassan, Kirsten Gillibrand, Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, & Angus King
Vote all of them out!!!!
Let's shut the government down! Stop playing politics and deal with the madness that is the current administration.
What an ego.
Also Dems: Why aren’t our numbers higher?
or asking
They will control the government entirely

Chuckie's Gotta Go!!!
Schumer is just lying in the street to be run over by trump, elon and republicans.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social can lead us.
We need a fighter! 🥊
