None of yes votes in Sen are up in 2026. If they were they wouldn’t have dared. But in 2028 remember who stood strong and primary the hell out of the others

It's time to notice the time. Six weeks and tRump has completed 87% av the dictatorship game. He's packed it with fascistic features, like travel bans, no free speech, fear of deportation for all non-white plus those who the emperor dislike. By 2028 ...
Hey MAGA & you foolish Rs in Congress. You allowed this monster to follow Hitler’s playbook. You should be scared to death. Read the next chapter. Doesn’t matter how low you bow or feign adoration of his delusional ass! Once a dictator with a private army, you’re disposable.
With vote today, Ds too.
Nobody's going to remember this because the Trumpian shitshow in the next few weeks alone is going to obliterate it. And please, let's not talk about primarying our people. That's what Benedict Donald and the Republicans want.
Maybe Angus King & Jeanne Shaheen will get run out before their terms are up. @shaheen.senate.gov also voted YES for 10 that’s 10 ! for Trump‘s cabinet. King voted for seven so even that’s outrageous.
Agree, he's my senator, I already wrote him and said, don't run for reelection. It's time you retire. We need a younger representative who will fight for us. He has lost this boomer and families votes.
Durbin is up in 2026. I already, wrote him yesterday and told him not to run, step aside for a younger candidate that will fight for their constituents, our democracy, against 47, his minions and EM the acting president. Time to retire Dick.
Cuck Schumer and Gillibrand would be reelected but both showed their MAGA colors today. Primary and vote out both of them. @schumer.senate.gov @gillibrand.senate.gov: resign. Resign today. You betrayed and killed Americans today by passing this funding bill.
well, sadly, that's part of the calculation. there's no chance this will be an election issue in 2028, except among a tiny minority of tuned-in people.
no, need way more than that we won't survive that long with fools and cowards like Schumer, Durbin, and Gillibrand in charge, not one single donation for one single democrat until they are removed from leadership
There is not going to be a legitimate election in 2028. There just isn't. I don't know why so many people are acting like this is just another Trump presidency that will end and we'll pick up the pieces. Democracy has been blown up. It's over. Pretending doesn't make it so.
Dems will lose members over this. Dont be surprised if an offshoot of the Dem party is created. People will break away when leaders fail to listen and act correctly.
We need a new opposition group with fighters who are not cowards, complicit or collaborators.
In the meantime, they should never feel a moment of peace while they stay in office. I hope their State constituents, especially, will keep up the pressure and hold them accountable for every single move they make.
Dogschitt unAmericans, subhuman pieces of corporate schitt that voted to fvkk over veterans, the elderly, minorities - everyone but corporations & millionaires.
Don't be surprised if the lawsuits against DoDG start to get thrown out bc Congress codified DoGD cuts n gave the executive branch unchecked power but at least half the gov will not be shutdown 🤦🏿♀️ bc the other half of gov has been shutdown by DonOld n Musk those 10 Senate Dems supporting it all.
I think that was calculated. Schumer recruited 9 who would walk the plank with him so the others could vote no. The Democrats never had the stomach for the fight. It's their nature.
Defund them
Boycott and protest their Book Tours
Protest the Speaking Engagements
Push the DNC and their State and Local Party to Defund them
Where ever they make extra money be there and show your Disgust
Primary them
Get them out
There will be no elections. I wish people would realize this. If there are any, it will be like Russia,not free or fair. There is no point in giving false hope. The only way to destroy a fascist government is by overthrowing it.
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?’
Fuck this shit if giving the no votes a pass. If 24 of them tomorrow signed a letter demanding Schumer’s resignation we might have a chance in 2026. If Schumer and Gillbrand are running 2026, we’re fucked. Schumer needs to be gone next week.
I made calls like crazy and both of my senators changed their vote. For all the good it did. It did give me hope for my state leaders, though. They were listening.
That's because all the democrats colluded together to pass the budget while protecting vulnerable senators. It's not about legislating. It's about staying in power. THEY ARE ALL
COMPLICANT!
Why do people keep thinking there will be any other fair elections??? This was the one and only time to put a bit of a delay. But it’s dead now. I am near certain elections are of past. Or will be like they are in Hungary and Russia
How do you know this?! Jen, you should back this shit up before you malign an entire group of people. I mean, did they tell you, did you get from corroborated sources? Did you read it in the cards. Don’t let your frustration turn you into a hack.
I know very well who she is and I know she gets pissed off AND I know that her post was bs-so does she. I got in her face about it because she’s better than this- or at least use to be. I expect sm1 with her influence to back her story up. You don’t need to insult me bcs of your lower expectations.
I hope this brings a change to chucks role as minority leadership. How can he lead when only 9 (+1 indie) out of 45 dem senators voted for cloture and the CR?
I’m hoping this could happen, but I’m also afraid Schumer gathered ‘yes’ votes from Democratic Senators not up for reelection until 2028 or later and ones that intend to retire to give cover to Senators facing re-election in 2026.
I don’t think Schumer has it that together, but like you said, we’ll see what happens from here. If he’s was willing to fall on his sword, some ambitious Senator will be happy to have him go all the way.
To add insult to injury, after selling out the country… eight of the 10 turned around and did a pretend vote against it. That's after making all these principled statements of why they did what they did. Is that because they think in '28 (if we have free & elections again) that ppl will forget?
Peters is retiring in 2026. This one surprised me. Can’t say I was surprised on the rest of them. What does it take for the democrats to unite? Republicans stick together like parasites.
What we NEED is to quit bagging on each other and MAKE THE GOP OWN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, It is ALL ON THEM NOW. They got their budget and EVERYTHING is on them now. Dems NEED to shove it in their faces and down their throats.
But also in 2027 under a new Congress our members have a chance to change the leadership, and we should urge our GOOD Dems Senators
To reject that leadership team.
"Schumer built a specific coalition to shield vulnerable Democrats from blame. Almost every senator who voted for cloture was either retiring or not up for re-election anytime soon." https://oliviajulianna.substack.com/
I wonder if we can harass them until they quit; don’t allow them to have another night on the town, or buy groceries, or even walk on a street until they quit.
Jen you have such a short memory, never admitting about all the hundreds of false claims you've made, that I'm sure you won't remember a damned thing about this in 2028.
Folks we have to own up to the depth of the mess we're in. I have almost zero confidence there will even be free and fair elections in 2028 or 2026. We are well past the time we can simply vote ourselves out of this fascist movement.
But they can certainly be booted out of leadership positions and committee chairs as soon as the Democrats can call for elections and a new leader redraws their committees.Take no prisoners!!!
It’s reported that language in the CR protects Musk &Trump from accusations that they don’t have the power cuz Congress established departments & programs. Has some legal eagle parsed this language for the rest of us, & handicapped what is left of claims they are overreaching?
That doesn’t excuse their behavior. It’s bad enough we have so few of these elected representatives standing up for us. But then to have democrats turn against our interests is salt in the wound.
I am tired of being affiliated with a party that is not willing to fight for its voters, let alone its COUNTRY! After sleeping on it, I am officially an independent!
Here are the nine traitorous Democratic Senators that voted with the republicans today:
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York
Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii
Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
And the one Independent.
Senator Angus King of Maine
Both of New York’s senators, Schumer and Gillibrand, voted yes. What is wrong with this state that both of their senators are turn coats? Is it the overwhelming wealth in the state or that Trump is one of their own?
There will 100% be elections. Even Russia still has them. They’ll just be rigged.
What they’ll do is change the results at the tabulation stage, like they admitted that they already did back in November. Harris fucked us by conceding instead of investigating. But at least she took the high road!
Such a good question. What’s the tipping point? Is there a point of no return? Trump et al seem to be moving as fast as they can, cutting as deep as they can in the hope that there is that point. People lose faith and it’s digging in for years of fascism. Sure hope it wasn’t yesterday.
Sorry there will be more important issues in 2026 than this vote. Filibustering the CR wasn’t going to bring Republicans to the table and carried enormous costs and risks. Disagree all you want but this hysteria is tiresome and counterproductive.

I believe that we can at least get in new leadership.
We need a new opposition group with fighters who are not cowards, complicit or collaborators.

US population's memory is *obviously* something substantially less than 4yrs...
We got Chump *again* after 4yrs, yes??
How much of that was stupid, succumbing to lies, or just bad memory??
🤷🤷🤦♀️🤦♀️🖕🖕🖕
If so, the "do something" wing of the Democratic party is underestimating just how much there is to do.
COMPLICANT!
Durbin-2026 eoct

After the disaster w/ the CR what should my slogan be?
“Come join the Democratic Party. We’ll defend your interests but only if the Republicans don’t push hard?”
Or
“Join us. Not all our Senators are traitors?”
Schumer must go! Primary
Well, I appreciate your optimism that there'll be any elections in 2028 . . .
He's the only one.

Is this their signal to the White House that they'll be ready and waiting to join in after their term?
