I hear a lot of criticism of Schumer based on the general idea that we should fight Trump but how does that play out under these circumstances? He makes a good case that your way would have strengthened Trump’s position. Please respond specifically to his point.
I think real leadership is developing but is not making its way onto the Sunday shows this week. Sen Murphy was accurate: we may have a year remaining of "democracy"; there is no time to debate theatrics anymore. My take: fights in the Dem party abound...
I have written to my 2 senators. If Schumer isn’t removed within a week, the Democratic Party has failed. Schumer has lost the trust of people and is no longer a leader. Leadership requires decisive action.
Needs to happen. It won't. Dems have two true leaders and several good voices. Leaders (and i don't mean presidential candidates - AOC and Michelle Obama, and Obama wants no part of it. Voices are Sanders, Warren, Crockett, Omar, Booker and a very few others. 2028 election may not happen.
Schumer's support of the Republican CR demonstrates that he is not the leader for the fight Democrats need to wage against this Administration. Time for him to step aside and let someone who is up to the challenge lead the Senate.
All nine Democrats who voted for cloture should step aside.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Senator John Fetterman
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto
Senator Brian Schatz
Senator Dick Durbin
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Senator Gary Peters
Senator Maggie Hassan
Senator Jeanne Shaheen

I do NOT feel okay about passing over Patty Murray who has been exemplary in her defiance of Trump. She is 3rd in seniority. Who cares if she is older. She is perfectly vigorous and fine and right for the moment
Too many democrats have lost confidence in him as senate leader so Schumer can either do what's right and step aside or he can let his ego sink democrats even further!
Who knows.
I just know that this app is toxic.
It’s left wing twitter.
And lot of complaining and I don’t think it’s the way to fix our problems.
I enjoyed it at first but it’s an echo chamber of screaming freaked out liberals all fighting each other.
Drama
And not effective to deal w this crisis
I just followed you BTW.
I appreciate your perspectives.
It’s likely that I’m not articulating my opinion very well.
Communicating is not my strong suit.
I’m just hoping folks start supporting the people that we have now in our leadership and shining a light on the shit being thrown at us from GOP.
You aren’t offending me at all.
Believe me I’m just as freaked out about this as anyone on our side.
I don’t think our side sees the damage that we are doing to the party with infighting and constant criticism of our own.
We have got to spend our time tearing down republicans.
Look at how many people are leaving the Democratic Party.
Look how many people are joining the Republican Party.
Look how republicans are in lockstep w their leaders.
You never seen them criticizing their representatives and their president.
We have proof.
Look where we are in this country.
I agree! I have voted democrat for many years. Schumer, McConnell, Johnson, Durbin, F-Trump and Robert’s would not be in JFK’s book Profiles in Courage!
Senator Schumer is owed our respect and gratitude but his skill is focused on traditional politics, not on full scale political warfare. Senator Murphy would be an excellent choice during this crisis if he is willing to take on an almost impossible task.
I would call your federal electeds in both the House and the Senate and ask privately about this before making it public. I also think the New Yorkers should call their state assembly and state senate members for them to make a statement before we start turning up the heat.
I need someone to help my brain and rage understand why there hasn't been a force of house and senate dems along with security going to the departments being raided and remove Doge. Seems anyone can just walk in and remove people. Doge did it. And what about maybe a former pres with their security
NO. Taking responsibility in the face of uninformed mass Left opinion shows strength. Moving to maintain legal guardrails is needed. Creating a scenario where this criminal Executive can dictate under a government shutdown is REALLY irresponsible.

1 a majority of the party base wants him to fight & not collaborate w Trump
2 Trump is already effectively shutting down the parts of the gov’t he wants
3 he did it for the market not for Democratic voters
4 that’s why Trump said he would primary Massey
Spines-R-Us first
Both are weaklings that need to step aside

So my reply is either in agreement or it's a clarification.
been saying foe several years!
The age go the letter at the lectern are over!
Senate Dems repeat after me: “It’s the …”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Senator John Fetterman
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto
Senator Brian Schatz
Senator Dick Durbin
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Senator Gary Peters
Senator Maggie Hassan
Senator Jeanne Shaheen
This was very strategic. They picked all people who are either retiring or not up for election in 2028.*
*Durbin might be an exception, but he’s probably not running.
We can only trust Dems who will call for their removal now
What is your hero’s journey?
I know what @markhamillofficial.bsky.social would say.

So no Schumer and the money dries up for the Midterm election costs.

She is money magnet.

How many times do you need to see ‘Just wait and caution fail??

I would say pressure the Republicans if any of them represent your area... call their local offices and get them to do something.
If you have Dems representing you, then call their local offices, attend town halls...
It’s almost like you have no idea how to win. Do you understand that historic low trust in Dems will not bring out voters/protesters
honestly I only have energy right now for the 71% of Dems that wanted Schumer to fight Trump
If anyone is pushing any of the #TraitorousTen, they are either uninformed or part of the problem.
