He and Dem leadership is complicit in the Trump takeover of America. They don’t really care. That is just the truth. Not all Dems- but the old decrepit useless ones like Schumer, Durbin and newly bribed Fetterman.
Well now the democrats don’t have any leverage. This was the one chance to get something. And DOGE is illegally shutting down the government anyway. WTF democrats.
here comes the ratio. I appreciate that Schumer had no good option in front of him. But he picked the option that would most annoy off his own base. I'll be back in a bit to peruse the comments. I don't think I'm wrong on this.
The only bargaining the Dems had was this, and their giving it away. Also, it's abjectivelly vile. I guess the streets are all we have now. Schumer must go, but he won't be replaced in time to save this Democracy.
The reason why we are here is because no one trusts politicians - it’s always been smoke in mirrors and propaganda that no one believed anyway. I understand now the feral disdain for democrats at the same level as MAGA - even if my ideology differs.
What a pathetic, feckless, corrupt coward Schumer is. He really doesn’t care what Trump does as long as he gets to serve in the U.S. Senate. He can’t lead, he can’t communicate, he can’t summon the courage to do what’s right. The Dems need to throw this guy to the curb and get good leadership.
Chuck Schumer sold the country out. He should step down from leadership and then retire. If he doesn't have the backbone to stand up to the Republicans in these very dire times, move him n so someone else better capable can! Fuck him!
This is bullshit! Time for Schumer to go! We need AOC in charge! Let the government shut down! Trump and Musk are already decimating it what’s a few weeks more if we get what we want!
So…that’s it. Congress isn’t a thing anymore. The power of the purse, their one constitutional job, is being handed to the execute. ALL of Congress should be disbanded then since there’s no point to them and we’re wasting our tax dollars paying Congress
@schumer.senate.gov NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!
#SpinelessSchumer old leader playing old games in a new world where protocols are decorum are no longer followed by the opposition. It’s capitulation. If they #ShutItDown they would have a literal civil army, who are fed up, backing the Democrats on the streets of DC.
It's almost like Democrats think that citizens are informed. Educated. Aware. That they'll be thankful that the Democrats averted a shutdown that would hurt everyone.
No. That won't happen.
What MIGHT happen, if they grow a pair and let it shut down, is the BLAME would be on the party in control.
So, you are lying to us just like Trump now? What happened to “I can’t support this bill because it’s not bipartisan“? You are just as responsible for this mess as Trump now! SMH
Get your head out of your ass @schumer.senate.gov!!! VOTE NO!!!!! The current administration can't be trusted to do ANYTHING!! If the government shuts down, it's on the #GOP and tRump NOT the @housedemocrats.bsky.social!!!!
Mainly that they take money from corporations for their campaigns and then represent their interests instead of the people who voted them in. Oust anyone who takes campaign financing from corporations.!

I might be officially done with thinking the Democrats might decide to grow a fucking spine. Maga GOP would have told us to fuck off days ago by now. Disgusting. Trump just got more supporters without even trying.
Do any of you mormons know what a stop gap bill is? Not one because your friggin idiots.
He wants another 30 days to work on Appropriations, not the fucking MAGAt bill idiots..
Democrats are cowards and now complicit in Trumps authoritarian remaking of executive power. This is the responsibility of congress not the courts to push back. Any Democrat who votes with Republicans are as bad as them.
As was the case with Biden too, denial by many of the DEMS of the GOP agenda is overriding common sense. Jan 6th happened, you all failed to immediately use the 14th Amendment to remove your fellow insurrectionist aiding Representatives; failed to fix the SCOTUS; and now yielding to Putin agenda.
🪖🤳🏿You bigoted knuckleheads literally voted in these terrorists to teach Democrats a lesson. Now you're 'pissed' Democrats aren't shutting down their own gov't in some sick attempt to thwart the attacks you knew these terrorists would levy against their own citizens.
No practical difference in outcome except it allows him to have his cake and eat it too. He can appease the White House and still vote no, bully for him
Also, when you’re the NYT, accuracy is important for its own sake
Why do we continue to vote for politicians that do not listen to their constituents basically telling us that our votes only count to get them in office and then they give us a two handed third finger salute.
Schumer, Definitely not a leader and he was a crappy Speaker.
The republican representatives are despicable and irresponsible. Do they even realize what they're doing? They are being complicit in the destruction of our government and turning it into an oligarchy.
Exactly, because they take money from large corporations just like the Republicans and then represent their interests instead of ours. Don't vote for anyone receiving campaign financing from corporate backed superpacs.

Senate democrats should demand his resignation effective immediately. He's acting like a DINO voting with republicans. He doesn't have the cojones to stand up for the caucus, the party and Americans. There are better caucus leaders than him.

This is our leader?
Schumer backs down every single time. This is beyond disappointing. This is betrayal!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
When it comes to destroying democracy, the Dems are guilty by association and appeasement.
All the emails I get will be stopped, Fuck you weak pussies
Vote third party. No more votes for Trump’s complicit subservient democrats.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Stand up for the people who voted for you and FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!
Chuck Schumer just gave Trump a dictatorship
