I called Markey and Warren to thank them for being no and to demand that they remove Schumer if he doesn’t walk this back. I then called Schumer to inform him that I had done this.
I mean, if there's a phone tree option for "not your constituent but registering my desire to spit on you contemptuously," I'll do that. Instead, I asked Rep Clark to do that on my behalf.
we should definitely wait until the nation is in ashes and our voting base swears blood oaths never to vote for us again, and then consider changing horses

IOW, Operation "Let Trump Be Trump" is going splendidly! Keep the focus on the bullshit he and Musk are engaged in, and we'll win in 2026 and 2028 no matter who our leaders are!
Don’t really know where this idea of Pelosi as a moderate came from - *Moulton* with the knife out for Schumer is the remarkable thing (although Moulton always has his knives ready tbh)
A little because Pelosi was leadership and had to compromise, a little because she was a woman in leadership and that brings out the latent misogyny in so many and a little because a lot of people don’t get how politics work when they are protecting good things instead of destroying them.
It’s almost entirely because Gerry Connelly has been a loyal supporter of Pelosi’s for decades. AOC will have plenty of chances to be the ranking member of it in the future.
I mean that kind of shows how they aren’t meeting the moment though. These aren’t typical times and we need the people who are actual leaders to be put into those roles and not blocked due to seniority.
Still not great to prioritize quid pro quo over putting your best person out there.
The other person is right, though. Me putting Pelosi and AOC on opposing ends was largely based on that, and my knowledge of Nancy is not particularly deep.
I don't think most casuals have figured out that AOC is a top tier gamer in addition to all her other qualities. All my inside politics people say she's very gifted at working the mechanics of power and I haven't seen anything that points otherwise. Obv that was Pelosi's whole thing...
Warnock Spox here, to clarify: Senator Warnock was referring to a change in the House and Senate majorities in ‘26 and the Presidency in ‘28 as the American people respond to dysfunctional Republican control of Washington.
Then he needs to go as well. Anyone that tries to defend what we all saw happen today, and frankly for the past few years, is not who we need in our party.
Then he needs to go too. Anyone not on board with change right now has misread the moment, and is too weak to serve the people of their state. All nine need to be back benched or pushed to resign. Now.
The Senator should be seriously questioning Chuck Schumer's competence. He's make a great leader himself, but if not, everyone would be happy with Senator Murray too. But Chuck's gotta go
As long as I can pretend to be an IRA guy and say their name in an Irish accent, I'm ok. I have to use Hochul's middle name or maiden name but it works with her.
This is the Senate press release equivalent of saying "we would need a ouiji board to talk to Schumer, because he is a dead man that just hasn't realized it yet."
to my understanding, Sen. Kim is a bit more like AOC, bucking their respective state party machines to get elected (this is good, more of this). the NJ machine has delivered such political stalwarts (derogatory) as Phil Murphy and Bob Menendez, so the irritation is well founded
They do but also need to have someone with the connections and desire for the job which is a pretty limited group outside of the current top 3 in leadership. Murray is the least out of touch of current leadership. Would be good to have a member of leadership be under 74.

FUCK CHUCK SCHUMER THAT TRAITOR ASS BITCH TRUMP HUMPING ASSHOLE.
Now, Bobby is headed to prison and Chuck is about to get forced out.
So bad things can eventually happen to cowards and crooks on a long enough timeframe.
So, can we drop it now?
L👀k at this! ⬇️

I thought at least one Democratic Senator was starting to show some fight.
Thanks for correcting me. Really good to know y’all are happy with this weak capitulator.
Ask to vote no (or thank them for committing to no), and then ask them to huck Chuck.
It's extremely odd for Democrats to do this.
Like, I'm not sure it has happened in the post-war era.
But "kicking an insufficiently committed leader to the curb" is just another Tuesday on the other side of the house.
