VOTE NO on the Budget Continuing Resolution! VOTE NO on the CR! Schumer is wrong! If you vote Yes, I will never vote for or donate to you again. Democrats need leaders with energy to fight Trump. Norms are dead.
It is time for Schumer (aka Neville Chamberlain) to go. The Senate needs new leadership that has a spine. Dems caught between Scylla and Charybdis should take the road that shows some fight. Senate Dems must vote "no" today and force the Republicans to own this shut-down and negotiate.
We are calling/posting to demand @schumer.senate.gov vote no on cloture for the House-passed Continuing Resolution, and move to pass a clean CR instead. It is vital that Congress take back their constitutional power of the purse and work to block Elon Musk’s control of our government.
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.
Schumer needs to resign. He's been worthless for about 10 years maybe 15. He's become complacent and apathetic and figures he'll always have his job so he really doesn't give a fuck about the people he works for. He needs to go along with anybody else that was elected in the last century.
I tried to leave Schumer a message but guess what, they dont take voice mails after hours. Shocker?!! He is spineless and should be ousted! #SchumerSellout
Could not get through by phone tonight but have asked fellow Senators to convince Schumer to vote NO. I will try calling Schumer's office again tomorrow.
Gus Jennifer I couldn't disagree with you more we have Trump and Musk on the ropes because in the light of day and with no justification or reason they are busy shutting down and destroying our government and even the stupid magas are figuring that out. ..
Why would we want Dems to be the ones who get blamed for a shutdown which will then be claimed to be the source of a cascading government-wide failure of why all the services are suddenly gone?! ..
Don't you see that's what they'll say & that's what all the magas will believe just when we have them understanding that Musk and Trump are doing it in the daylight? With the government shut down why would they start it up again they're the ones trying to kill it and now they can blame the Dems. ..
Trump gets to decide what are essential services well you aren't going to be too many of those are there? Dems have no communication game Trump is unfortunately great at it he'll have the fully pulpit The TV cameras on him everyday is he blames Dems for everything going wrong. Who is going to..
counter that on Dems side Bernie Sanders?! Shutting down the government would be the greatest gift to Trump and Musk allowing them to completely shift the blame. We're much better off having a funded government and having them have sole responsibility for destroying it which they will do. ..
The Dem base is asking for performance theatrics what we need is strategy. Hey Dem bass let me tell you Dem politicians have no power zero zip nada nothing. What we need is in the light of day for Trump destroy America sufficiently that it's clear he's a fascist and authoritarian and we don't have..
We called him, left messages, no response. Schumer DOES NOT CARE! He thinks we’re too stupid to understand that the poison CR gives Trump LEGAL cover to spend or withhold however tf he wants, no pesky lawsuits and judges! 💀 What the hell is wrong with Schumer, does HE work for Putin TOO???
VOTE NO on the Budget Continuing Resolution! VOTE NO on the CR! Schumer is wrong! If you vote Yes, I will never vote for or donate to you again. Democrats need leaders with energy to fight Trump. Norms are dead.
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.
@schumer.senate.gov you are a sell out! @kenmartin.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social this isn't a winning move for the US or Democrats. Stand up! No on cloture
I did, via email and voice mail, twice in the past 24 hours. I got a tone deaf email reply, just after the story of his capitulation hit, thanking me for support I hadn't offered, for a position I vehemently disagree with. As a constituent I wanted a NO on both. Never thought highly of my Senators.
Schumer just made it public that he is caving. His interview with Chris hayes was nonsensical. 'they're gonna do bad things so let's let them do bad things'. Schumer is a coward.
If @schumer.senate.gov enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.
Good Luck. I tried calling Sen. Kaine’s office this early morning. Outgoing message said office was closed for the day and then I was disconnected. Couldn’t even leave a voicemail.
Beyond pathetic! At some point you have to stop playing nice and that time is now! Appeasement is not a good look. Dems, let Chuck cast his lone vote, then get together and elect a new leader!
We just spend weeks defending Federal workers...until throwing them under the bus became the politically-correct thing to do...and now you all want to throw them under the bus.
100%. Also.. this happened; Jfc. This should be all any dem needs to realize the only vote is a vote NO. Show some courage and fight with us. You are on the wrong side. Chuck Schumer D-NY U.S. Senator John Fetterman Vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR.
VOTE NO on the Budget Continuing Resolution! VOTE NO on the CR! Schumer is wrong! If you vote Yes, I will never vote for or donate to you again. Democrats need leaders with energy to fight Trump. Norms are dead.
Schumer is both fearful and losing it if he thinks a yes vote will do anything except embolden and cement Trump/Musk/Putin's hold on our country, enabling them to totally ignore congress.
No way in hell would I support this bill. I’m done voting if this bill gets passed and democrats had the golden opportunity to stop it. What purpose does voting serve when your own party just throws in the towel and gives MAGA cart blanche to destroy our democracy?
Trump is going to do anything he wants anyways there is no point in voting for the CR all the bad stuff Chuck said they can do they will do anyway because our country has failed and gone on life support . It's paddles / clear.
🙏 +Sen. Gillibrand’s Leg Dir
gilbert_ruiz [at] gillibrand [dot] senate [dot] gov
Between Schumer & Gillibrand’s expected yes vote on cloture & recent vote to lessen regs on Crypto they’ve shown that their willingness & ability to represent their constituents is questionable. They’ve become DINOs.
I support Schumer. 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.
What would stop Trump from shuttering ALL federal courthouses during this shutdown? In prior shutdowns, presidents have declared criminal justice ‘essential’. Trump isn't bound by precedent.
I’m more worried that if the Dems decide to vote for the sham CR the GOP will kill it themselves and throw the full power of government into the arms of the executive branch. Who wins?
Super frustrating to not get thru by phone to my Senators or Schumer this evening. Not all of us can make calls from 9 to 5! Used websites at least, but still frustrating and Schumer's decision is a disgrace - again leaving regular citizens to save the country without much help from Dem leaders.
@schumer.senate.gov 😵 Where have you been the last 10yrs? Trump is a master at messaging. He convinced Amer Bidenomics was a joke & he's taken over the GOP. Either way Trump will message to Amer the Dems are irrelevant. Shakedown the GOP to fight for the ppl in Amer. By Sept Proj 2025 will be done.
Looks like these are now the Senators to call

British polician Neville Chamberlain pursued appeasement, a policy of making concessions to avoid war with Hitler. He believed that Hitler's demands could be met through negotiations and diplomacy. He was wrong, just as the dolts in the Senate believe that they can placate Trump. He's a gangster!
WTF is wrong with you @schumer.senate.gov?! You are caving to fascists! Even the attorney who represented the Fed employees today said firing them during a shut down is illegal. IF you can’t fight, step down and let someone else actually LEAD! You are weak and we’re sick of it! Democracy matters!
I am so angry I can barely talk right now. Spitting angry I am! I'm going to be ringing Chuck Schumer's phone off the hook from tomorrow morning on, every freaking day. We deserve so much better. I can't even believe this clown.
Watching from the other side of the world he looks like a traitor. I guess Trump had something on him. They have control of everything now. You can assume everything is bugged. Must be bad
It is time for Schumer (aka Neville Chamberlain) to go. The Senate needs new leadership that has a spine. Dems caught between Scylla and Charybdis should take the road that shows some fight. Senate Dems must vote "no" today and force the Republicans to own this shut-down and negotiate.
I was angry but I’ve changed my mind. Just enough Democratic vote yes, keep the status-quo, courts & judges ARE getting involved, allow Tesla to keep tanking.
Closing the gvmt gives Trump control of reopening ONLY what HE WANTS to reopen.
They are feeling the heat - let’s keep that fire burning.
Primary Schumer's ass!! So few chances we will ever get a leverage against them, the first chance we get and they just drop dead...the f*ck is wrong with them! Hopeless!!!! F*ckin hopeless!!!
I have been shaking inside since Schumers' announcement. This is a betrayal. This is going to cause a schism within our party. Those with a backbone & those without. I just can't believe there's Dem Senators who are willing to vote for the CR.
It's time to start drafting a censure resolution about chuck to be distributed to every state and county Democratic party organization to adopt. The text will condemn his conduct and unwillingness to be a true opposition leader and will urge Senate Democrats to replace chuck w a real leader.
This explains why Schumer was front and center at that New York dinner for millionaires and billionaires with Trump when Harris refused to go. He’s probably on the take and he MUST GO..
I have a feeling that he is doing it because closing the government will last forever & the media will blame Democrats. The public will stop talking about Musk and concentrate on the shutdown. I don’t agree but I think this is why he’s doing it
My wife just cancelled all her re-occurring donations to the Democrats.
Her parting comment was “that fucking Schumer, has done nothing for the Democrats, he’s like Neville Chamberlain”
History keeps hitting replay, and somehow, we’re still shocked. America is speedrunning its way into fascism, ignoring every warning, repeating every mistake. Wake up, or watch democracy become a relic!!!!!
#trump #elon #fascism #America #wakeup #dem
Agreed. What did Schumer get paid to betray the democratic voters. God damn it Chuck. No more donations for a cowardly and useless democratic party with no moral courage --damn it damn it...repost and repost
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.
Schumer actually made a thought-provoking point on Chris Hayes tonight: a government shutdown would allow Trump to close the courts. That would be a disaster, since the courts have been standing in the way of some of the Trump/Musk Regime's worst actions.
@schumer.senate.gov vm is full so write him an email. WE NEED FIGHTERS NOT COWARDS! Tell him to vote NO for the CR & CLOTURE! #ResignSchumer #SchumerResign #Weak #SchumerCaves
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?’
Schumer has done nothing wrong. Somehow Democrats are oblivious to the speech that he gave yesterday. But there is plenty wrong with Trump. So, why are people whining about Schumer and ignoring Trump?
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!
Scorpio 49. Yes! If he is worried about a gov’t. shutdown…. is is being shut down now anyway piece by piece! I would think it’s time to push-back and vote “NO” on the CR and cloture. It’s time to show that we have found the secret for Dem’s. to grow spines!
VOTE NO on the Budget Continuing Resolution! VOTE NO on the CR! Schumer is wrong! If you vote Yes, I will never vote for or donate to you again. Democrats need leaders with energy to fight Trump. Norms are dead.
HEY DEMOCRATS!!!! Go hard!!! Play hard!! FIGHT HARD!!! Start playing offense and quit playing defense! Get out there ahead of the ball!! Control the game!!! Our country is depending on you!!! #democrats
Looks like Schumer has made a very bad choice. Jen is another big voice on Bluesky for democracy. This is the 5th person I have seen since the announcement.
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. Take a risk that will be supported by all Dems. Show us your spine and we will fight as never before.
Read these books by Dr. Bandy X. Lee: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump and her follow up book: The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Psychiatrists discuss the truth of his mental condition which demonstrates his mental illness.
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!

Close down govt = no courts open to shut down trump.
CR is the better to 2 evils.
Make sense now? I hope so.
I'm truly appalled. Is Schumer MAGA?
All the Dem Senators now know that a small group of them will make the cloture vote just as much a forgone conclusion as the floor vote will be.
If you don't want to be known as a Surrender Senator now then you need to publicly speak out against the plan.
Her parting comment was “that fucking Schumer, has done nothing for the Democrats, he’s like Neville Chamberlain”
