This *other* (not mutually exclusive) petition started 7-ish days ago is so close to 40k signatures! Also, the https://change.org petition has teeth (no donations is the stipulated condition).
Maybe sign both?
I'm not ready to boot the sly fox. I understand his POV. Thank you, Chuck, for spending time with @chrislhayes.bsky.social explaining your rationale with @chuckschumer.com . I think it made sense. I think more people should listen to Chris's interview b4 signing.
It doesn't matter how many signatures we collect. Schumer severs ONLY with the support of his caucus, Senate Democrats. Until they unnamously revoke their support he isn't going anywhere. I'm not holding my breath. 👆 True story
I know people are mad at chuck but his choice was a shit sandwich (government stay open) or a shit sandwich with a sprinkle of arsenic (government shutdown and complete darkness on the pillaging and coupe completion)
What on earth do you all expect him to do? He doesn't have a majority. If he fillibustered the spending bill, Trump/DOGE would have used that as an excuse to defund and close more agencies.
We could have forced the republicans to come to the table to negotiate a better deal. There were many other option available besides pass the CR or shut down the government.
I haven't seen her statements on this, but I have seen a whole lot of others. Some agree with you and aparently Pelosi, and many agree with me. Schumer is just as savvy as Pelosi is.
No, I think Pelosi is savvier. To make it to the top of the pack of 218ish takes more than making it to the top of 50ish or in this case a mere 47 senators. I’m not a fan of either of them but at least Pelosi is known for putting up a fight. Schumer is not.

Sorry, but I don't want to get put on a mailing list, which is what it actually looks like you're trying to do with your site.
Keep whining. Just admit you wanted the govt shut down so DT would have an easier time gutting agencies. Because that's what you're mad didn't happen.
This is ridiculous.
.. and spoiler alert: the threat of doge doing exactly what doge is already doing isn't really much of a threat
If the Dems keep it up, we'll have a Trump Dynasty on our hands.
Get to DC!
