Hate to tell you but she and @pattymurray.bsky.social made this vote possible. If they would have voted no yesterday on cloture they wouldn’t have been able to take to a vote. Tell you friends you were lied to.
Constituent here. Talk is cheap, as are throw-away symbolic votes. If you aren't calling for Schumer to step down as leader, I will assume you were complicit in his deception and betrayal.
How come the Senate Democrats betrayed the American people? It’s not just the ten. It’s all of you. Someone could have refused unanimous consent on the timing for the cloture vote and gained maybe 30 more hours to fight. Call for Schumer’s head if you’re sincere.
Thank you, Senator Cantwell for Voting NO, on the CR.
Now the Democrats in the Senate must work on Sen Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. He lost the American people's confidence!
Thank you for listening to and caring about your constituents, senator! I’m proud to live in WA during a time such a this.
I’m going to echo everyone else’s sentiment regarding Chuck Schumer. He needs to step down or be ousted! We need a more progressive voice representing our interests.
I watched the live stream from the Senate vote all day - something I have never done before. There was no good choice. Sen. Schumer enabled others to vote their conscience - good. The “permanent furlough” has been taken from Trump. Thank you and Sen. Murray. Keep fighting and find the best way how.
Washington State can survive and thrive without the US federal government; but only if it makes a plan to do so.
Secession planning should begin immediately. Planning must include converting federal assets to WaState assets, including military bases and Boomer subs. Fold them into WashGuard.
Thank you for voting no. But I agree with the others who wish you had taken a stance and let your constituents know these thoughts sooner. I hope you will be more communicative with us moving forward.
While appreciate you doing the right thing, you will be receiving zero money or support from me until Chuck Schumer is removed as minority leader. At best he is a coward that hides behind decorum and misguided ideas of bipartisanship that doesn’t exist. And at worst he is a corporate owned toady.
Thank you, Senator, for your vote. This is a beginning. People are hungry for real leadership from their elected representatives to help them fight for their constitutional rights and for the future of our democracy. The opportunity to be a hero is yours for the taking, but it requires taking risks.
Thank you, Senator! As an #EasternWA Democrat, I appreciate that you have stood up to preserve our democracy. One guy can’t run everything, we elected you to represent our state in this multifaceted country.
You are a liar. You voted YES on cloture that made it possible for you to then vote no. Washingtonians wake up she and @pattymurray.bsky.social made this vote possible. Without their yes vote on cloture the bill would not have come up for a vote.
I don’t get the people calling for extreme vitriol in your comments, but I understand their frustration.
What we need from Dems is a concrete plan on how they’re going to counter what this admin is/has done. Rhetoric sounds neat, but accomplishes nothing. What is your plan!!!!???
This bill endangers the health of Americans by cutting $280 million from the National Institutes of Health; jeopardizes the state of Washington’s maritime economy by slashing the Army Corps of Engineers by 44 percent ... (2/4)
... and impacts our farmers by cutting $57 million from USDA’s important agriculture research facilities. A bipartisan congressional effort to finish all appropriations bills would have delivered better results for taxpayers. (3/4)
Down with Chuck Schumer—he must resign! He has utterly failed as “leader” of the Dems when he caved on Friday over the CR. He is 100% OUT OF TOUCH. He must must must go. He is allowing the Fascist Republicans to gut our safety net. Shame on Schumer!!!
Congress has the authority and responsibility to direct federal spending based on the needs of their constituents. Turning that work over to the White House puts important programs like NOAA experts working on salmon recovery or creating weather forecasts at risk. (4/4)
Thank you. Time to take the next step. I urge you—and all your colleagues who voted No—to choose a new Minority Leader. Schumer does not have what it takes for to stand up to Trump and Musk
Please seriously consider ousting Chuck Schumer as Minority Leader ASAP. He's well and truly lost the confidence of most if not all of us Democratic voters. He's the absolute wrong person for these times.
Yes, Congress does, but the Dems caved over the CR. Down with Schumer—he must resign! He has utterly failed as “leader” of the Dems when he caved on Friday over the CR. He is 100% OUT OF TOUCH. He must must must go. He is allowing the Fascist Republicans to gut our safety net. Shame on Schumer!!!
Great, now are you going to publicly demand @schumer.senate.gov resign his failed leadership role or is this just empty "re-elect me" political posturing?
Thank you for voting no on cloture, the important vote. Now we need to see a change in minority senate “leadership.” We first need to see that those we vote for or donate to can fight for us when it counts. Starting with putting our own house in order should be the easiest step.
I’m a constituent too and I’m glad you voted no. Dems need to come together. The 10 yes votes was a huge disappointment. I fear Dems have lost a number of people and funds based on comments I’ve read here on Bluesky. It’s so important to listen to constituents. You need their vote!
Your vote was a no but many think the yes votes were made by those who could afford to do so. That’s playing politics and we want you to be authentic with us. Also I’d like it if you would declare your intentions before each vote.
I am a constituent and also am glad and grateful you voted no. But of course I am not naive that Senators arrange for who can afford a vote and each take their turn. So, the overall result was no and not what the people wanted. Can we trust that you fought internally to not support the CR? Concerns.
Thank you for not capitulating to the dismantling of our social safety nets. I hope you will share with your colleagues who did vote with republicans, that those of us who voted for democrats feel betrayed.
Thank you for voting no on cloture. Now please call for Schumer's removal. We need a new leader in the Senate who knows how to fight and lead an opposition party.
Vote Schumer out of leadership. Demand his resignation. The Dems just gave up the only leverage they had. All this will do is embolden republicans to shove worse crap down your throat next time. And Schumer has just shown he'll say thank you and ask for more.
Thank you! Sen Cantwell for always putting WA residents & our beautiful environment 1st which is why you
will always have my support & donations. I give all Dems grace with their votes bc the republicans set them up, cut them out & the house reps left to tie their hands. It was a no win situation
Nonetheless, no incumbent democrat, in any office, gets my vote while Schumer is in charge.
If this is what the party leadership does then what does voting for any of you accomplish? Washington State might as well not have had any senators at all.
Thank you for voting no on cloture. We need your leadership to continue and your influence to change party leadership to those who will stand up for the people instead of collaborating.

I wish better could be said of your “colleagues”

And Schumer has to go.

I hope you see the fight we are in, the danger of "compromising" w/ fascists and understand the Dem role is resistance.
Step one is finding new Senate leadership capable of uniting the party and leading the fight.
@schumer.senate.gov must go.
I’m proud to be a Washingtonian today.
Also, you better be done helping these people.
On America
Please also rally the other NO vote Democratic party senators to oust Chuck Schumer. His being at the helm of the Senate Minority cannot continue.
I don't understand the Dems that didn't.
Are they trying to act like the shit going down in the WH is somehow normal.
Fire Schumer NOW please!
Stand by for more protests and action if necessary!
