Hey ya'll, we all need to strike while the iron is burning hot! @booker.senate.gov has to become our Senate Leader asap! I just made up a Cali address so as to email Pelosi, who passed the torch to Jeffries appropriately. We need @schumer.senate.gov to patriotically do the same. Flood the zone!
The only thing stopping Trump from doing everything he wants (with or without a gov't shut down) is the push back from the American people. Shumer gave away what little leverage he had. We need leaders and don't seem to have any. Booker was inspiring. though. What next?
Chuck can’t pivot when it’s imperative to do so. He can’t let go of old the ideas from the old political playbook. The MAGA-GOP has thrown theirs out & has a new one (Project 2025) & Chuck sticks with what he knows. It’s the younger folks world NOW! WE RAISED THEM TO PASS IT ON, NOW LET THEM DO IT!
Don't start calling for appointments for Cory Booker unless you agree with his vote history. Don't get all caught up in the enthusiasm of the moment. America did that after 9/11 with people calling for Rudy Giulliani to run for President.
If Schumer hadn't kept gov't open, Cory would have had nowhere to speak. BTW-everything we count on including the courts would have been decimated. Lawfare has the shutdown EO. Only thing not defunded, RIFs issued to every employee, was police and military. So maybe Chuck did the right thing.
No, he didn't. Shumer is delusional. We are in a crisis. Under-reacting and pretending we can all just let things get worse is a terrible idea. So many Americans stubbornly cling to the idea that the great pendulum so many still believe it will just magically swing back. That pendulum is GONE.
Are you aware the republicans have admitted they were not going to reopen the government UNTIL Trump/Musk was finished closing what they wanted? Up to 2 years. If you think that’s not worse than where we are now? We have the courts stopping him. We have government open. Millions of jobs matter
"Burn it all down, we'll fix it" never worked, never will. One HAS to have leverage, and if he was going to kill the courts, and he was, we would have NO power at all to stop him. He is complying, kicking and screaming, and courts are about to ratchet up consequences for not. Doomed if they close.
I’m always amused by the people on social media that think they know more than the minority Leader of the Senate. And comparing the House vote? The House wasn’t voting to shut down the government. They were voting on an alternative CR. No consequences. The Senate didn’t have that luxury
Lawfare had the EO for shutdown. The goal was to use it to raid every budget, fire every person. SHUT THE COURTS. Only exempted? Police, Military. Schumer said this, and nobody listened. We would have no nation by now. No way to reopen. Trump SAID shutdown would be 1-2 YEARS "maybe more". LISTEN.
Not leaving the henhouse unguarded was a strategic move that I don’t completely disagree with on Schumer’s part, but the fire in his belly is gone. That’s why we need Cory.

Schumer had a chance to meet the hour last time around. He needs to stand aside ot be forced out.
