The Democratic Leardership is giving us lip service. Allowing The Heritage Foundation to revert slave policies in every aspect of life. To enact enforcement of Far Right Control and dominance of nonwhites to include murder, rape, and abuse. The same as was common during 18th century slavery.
White supremacy is prevalent in the Democratic Party. Latte Liberals say all the right things, fly their flags and vote for their best interests. We must never forget there was slavery in the north too.
Does this absolve racism in the Heritage Foundation's 2025 Republican party of Nov 5, 2024? Whyte Supremacy is in every part of the world, not just the USA! MAYBE THEY)Whyte supremacists) SHOULD ALL GO TO MARS, where they will be no dark-skinned humans!
Absolutely not it doesn’t absolve them. It’s makes them more fake and hypocritical. The GOP is clear about what they think about black folks. Mars may be an option, the Tesla leader is doing what he can to get there.
I’m so ashamed of @schumer.senate.gov. He’s making decisions based on his memories of a Republican Party that no longer exists. He should step aside from leadership and let a fighter like @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov or @duckworth.senate.gov lead the fight.
Biden never gave an actual shit about America. He got what he wanted which was the title of president. If he loved democracy as much as he claimed he wouldn’t have spent his entire presidency with his team hiding his decline only to submarine the election cycle.
I understood it towards the end. Especially as he wandered around getting his last minute brownie badges like in the Amazon as we faced the death of democracy. He chose not to hold the line another 4 years. He should have never ran! Far too volatile state for grandpa to handle.
He didn't run, he was ran out by Dem leadership. He warned us in his last address of exactly what is happening now. Some chose not to listen and now we are all paying for it.
Why oh why did he run a second term! Should have bowed out gracefully after term one and let us have a real primary! In face he even mentioned when he first ran that he would be a transition potus!
That really bothered me. He could’ve spent his presidency securing our government against future assaults from folks like Trump will fostering in a younger generation of leaders and instead he chose the most selfish of routes.
Partly true. As much as we get angry or upset with the Democrats and their leaders, we, WE the voters need to take our share of the blame for Trump’s reelection. We stayed home, voted 3rd party or voted for Trump. Put Republicans in charge. Now we want the Democrats to come to our rescue.
No thanks. I didn’t stay home. I went to my Dems office as soon as grandpa stepped aside. I worked multiple times a week there. Knocked on doors in multiple Mi cities. Folded lit. Made yard signs. Phone banked- even day of election!! I’m a former Republican until 2015. So nope- this is not on me.
Still we can’t deny that there were many voters who didn’t care, was angry about whatever issue you could name and decided to stay home in protest as well as other ways. So, thank you.
Stop blaming voters for the failure of the party and the candidates.
I mean, throughout the election season, Biden's disapproval rating was WELL over 50%, and it was clear voters did NOT want another four years of the same approach.
But that is all Harris offered. She even said she'd
Not blaming voters for the failure of the party, but, for our failure to recognize and believe what Trump was saying. For failing to learn the lessons of 2016, 2024 and for our willingness to let the Republicans slide in their inactions; cruelty. Giving them power by voting for them or not voting
1/ Trump won because he understands, and accounts for, human nature -- while the Dems, and Harris, and Biden refuse to acknowledge and deal with that reality.
Most Americans pay little attention to politics, and as a result its necessary to constantly remind them of the facts, especially when
That is why voters stayed home -- because we had a candidate, and a party, with ZERO understanding of the country and what voters needed to hear last year.
Yah, right. Trump understood what people wanted. His message hit home with many. He promised to give it to them and they were okay with it until it hit them. It was okay for others, but, wait, not for me.
Sorry…the voters did that! Imagine if voters actually voted America’s interest and not based on their racism, sexism, misogyny and the rest of the ‘ism’s. They did not want a non-white woman. It’s absolutely absurd to try to blame Biden.
That became 50% of America’s interests. But they are unconstitutional interests! It was the presidents job to prevent this. By definition this is domestic terrorism!! And he handled the keys to Democracy to a terrorist who most likely is a Russian asset. Biden abandoned us. Stop defending him.
Sorry 😞 but Biden was struggling in the end of his administration!! In many of his policies he surprised me in a good way, but in others I was extremely disappointed ☹️!!
🙋🏽♀️ Agreed. For years I tried w/Schumer & Pelosi but they are feckless. I guess age is a thing. It’s time to fight back! We need younger leaders with the energy to obstruct fascism. 🙄 I was proud of our NY leadership. Not anymore. We have AOC and Leticia James that’s it. Jeffries is disappointing.
Chuck Schumer has no business being Leader of the Senate! Why? Why? We pay him $16,116.67 monthly $193,400 a year to help them destroy the Dems and America These people only understand cash so let assign a dollar amount to what they are bringing to the table! He is not earning $92.98 per hour!
Do they have something on Schumer or is he just a weak little feckless man? Weak and feckless are not usually sought after characteristics in opposition leadership.
After the American electorate empowered a Republican to rule from the White House, a majority of Republicans to rule the House, a majority of Republicans to rule the Senate, & by appointment, a majority of GOP-appointees to rule SCOTUS, #DemsHaveNoPower! They must kowtow to power. Nancy Pelosi!
He sucks. Unfortunately, as a New Yorker, he and Gillibrand are the only Senators I have, and they seemingly do not care about the NOs I politely have asked them repeatedly over the past 48 hours to deliver. Schumer's position is devoid of logic and smacks of self-dealing.
I’m starting to believe these Limousine Liberals have more in common with the GOP than we were willing to believe. Maybe it’s time for us to wake up. 🤔
To hell with Schumer.. is there any senate democrat willing to stand up to him as they suggested republicans stand up to Trump … or was it just talk… we are watching …. @schumer.senate.gov
Every Dem joining Schumer to side with Republicans need to be primaried. They need to be held to the fire for the rest of their terms. They are making their position clear- they will not fight to save Medicaid, SNAP, SS or Medicare. They do support billionaire tax cuts. @senatedemocrats.bsky.social
It's time for Schumer to retire....agreeing is NOT what the Voters want...can he not read the public OUTRAGE? or is he past his fighting days...either way he needs to retire

Schumer said if the government gets shut down, ALL authority to decide who is essential or not gets vested exclusively in the Executive, with no legal challenge/review possible. The courts could be shut down as well. And the Executive branch could decide not to end the shutdown. That's bad.
imo, history shows that the passion behind appeasement always loses to the passion of authoritarianism. how come the gop uses the filibuster to their advantage, and the dems don't? →appeasement mindset
I’ve voted religiously for over 40 years thinking my vote matters. But, seeing how some democrats are caving into this insanity destroying our democracy and wellbeing, I’m seeing how so many Americans don’t vote because they are not being represented. I’m beginning to feel the same way.
The DSCC ([email protected]) should know how much people are unwilling to support these Dems, too. Chuck clearly doesn't care who he's losing, but the fundraisers might.
Joy-Ann thank for your article & breakdown. You right it doesn’t matter because there going to do whatever the hell they want to. When they want to.,This is just the “smoke and mirrors “ version.
Schumer just threw the country under the bus. There are times to go along and there are times to fight. This is the time to fight. With the power Schumer gave away, the Dems could have stopped the gutting of the social programs that many Americans depend on, yet, he caved to Trump.
URGENT! CALL YOUR SENATORS THIS MORNING!
☎️ 202-224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on the budget resolution and demand they vote no on cloture (speeding up the CR bill vote) and NO on the resolution itself. Cuts to social security, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits must not happen!
And Hakeem Jeffries needs to go too. Imagine telling Dems to show decorum at the SOTU address. Republicans don't follow the rules. You cannot bring a feather to fight a tank.
🤬🤬
When is the last time the Republicans had decorum? It's just a way to muzzle your opponents. What the fuck does decorum matter when fascists are destroying the country
But don’t worry Jefferies said and I quote..sorta
“We still have G-D on his throne” or some shit like this! That’s when I stopped believing in his leadership ability!
He makes good points on the shutdown. My biggest concern with a shutdown would be trump declaring a national emergency, releasing troops on us citizens. Protesters really would be risking their lives. But they should at least filibuster it. Not give in right away. We're fucked with both circumstance
that's the thing. tfg will consider either outcome as a maga win, bc that his dna. at least, dems could show a backbone to signal 'alive and aware' to their comstituents.
He’s voting for the cloture which means to pass the CR they need a simple majority. His reasoning for doing so is a danger to America and its people. He’s proven once more that he’s not a leader for the current times. He stands complicit to the destruction of America’s democracy and its people.
Thinking ahead, people will continue to suffer under Trump if the CR passes. People hit the streets en mass and Trump will have a bs reason to declare a national emergency, aka Martial Law.
Point is, Martial Law is a real threat whether the CR passes or if there’s a shutdown. So, why give Trump a legal path to continue raping the country and making the Democratic Party an accomplice?
Rump knows exactly what he's doing! The difference between 2017 and 2025 is they practiced the details. They could care less about people and what happens!
I mean in the last Rump administration the administration and the Republicans allowed 1.4 million plus million people to die...
because they wanted to be right!
WE NEED A NEW PARTY! "WE THE PEOPLE" IS BEING FORMED NOW! WE WANT "THE BRAT PACK" WE'RE ONLY HEARING MAYBE 20 DEMOCRATS! THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!
EXAMPLE: FOR EVERY REPUBLICAN TOWN HALL MEETING THERE SHOULD BE A "DECLARED WINNER" "WE THE PEOPLE" TOWN HALL MEETING!
DON'T WAIT FOR THE REPUBLICANS TO HAVE A FAILED MEETINGS THAT GET SHUT DOWN! WE DON'T NEED TO POINT FINGERS AND SAY LOOK THE REPUBLICANS GOT SHUT DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN!
RIGHT NOW WE'RE ONLY THE LITTLE TRAIN THAT THOUGHT IT COULD.
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PEOPLE SUPPORTING "WE THE PEOPLE" AS PUBLIC SERVANTS! LED BY A PRESIDENT THAT IS A PUBLIC SERVANT TO ALL! BY A PRESIDENT THAT OBEYS THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES!
I understand that. It’s going to happen anyway. The GOP will go further. Whenever Dems say no, it will be drama. We can’t be afraid & let them shut down education, Medicaid, social security, food stamps…
We must fight today or lose for the next generation.
So, Senator Schumer, who works in the District, lives there while Congress is in session, is voting to cut $1B from DC's budget? The budget for things like the fire and police departments? You know, the serve-and-protect people? The folks who protected them on January 6? Is that really a good idea?
The more I think about it, the more Shonda Rhimes's “Scandal” feels real. It doesn’t make sense for him to change his mind unless someone has dirt on him or threatened him. That’s a more logical explanation (for me) than him betraying his party and bringing other Democrats with him. It’s weird.
He’s a spineless enabler to the denigration of America’s democracy It took Hitler 53 days to dismantle Germany once the Enabling Act passed on 3/23/1933. It allowed the government to issue laws without approval, centralized power, banned political parties, controlled people, media & culture
It’s a tough choice. With a shut down we could lose the courts decision we’ve been getting lately. We’re in the minority but some judges are standing up for the rule of law. What if Schumer is right and those bastards don’t respect the cr whether it passes or not. #bastards.
🤦🏽♀️ this CR is a 45 day kicking it down the road bill. It’s irrelevant and not passing it puts the government shut down on us. Which is what they want. They broke it, let them live with it. The real fight is in 45 days. Stop this crap and focus long term
I listened to the interview. The bill is bad. But does Schumer have a point? Let’s say a gov’t shut down happens. What’s the next steps for Dems? Would Trump and Doge push for repubs to re-open the gov? They are actively trying to shut down DOE and other gov entities NOW. So Is he totally wrong?
Who? They're all the same aside from the two they won't let anywhere near actual power. Why else do you think the dems have constantly offered no resistance at all during this coup? THEY WANT THIS.
"what's the point of power if you're not going to use it" should be forcibly tattooed on the forehead of any establishment lifer democrat that's still clinging to rules and norms that republicans have been ignoring for at least a decade
WHY IS THE ENTIRE WORLD ALLOWING TRUMP AND PUTIN TO LEAD AND BULLY?! STOP THEM!!! GIVE US ALL AN EFFIN BREAK?! ANYONE?!!! SHAME ON US ALL FOR ALLOWING TWO MEN TO DO THIS! LEADERS WHERE ARE YOU?’
I love you Joy..I miss you...I pray for our country every day...people are angry and scared...even cancda is scared...Trump is a luntic and Musk is a drug addict...and somehow, we are here. FREE THE USA! Cross that bridge...be brave

Throughout the last 2 months, uhgg it feels like years, his inability to meet the moment has been glaring, but this man is not fit for this challenge. He needs to step down! He must resign! For New York, for our democracy, for the USA, he is unfit! @schumer.senate.gov please step aside for America!
We can fight the CR initiatives in the courts because they’re unconstitutional.
But if the government shuts down, trump enacts the NEA, his SCOTUS will uphold that Act!
And then he’ll do away with the Courts!!!
We’re losing a rook to capture their Queen.
But that wasn’t their strategy!
They DO WANT to shut it down! But want it to appear to Americans that Dems ARE the culprit to shutting down the government if they vote NO on the CR, thus paving the way for
Con-Don to implement the National Emergency Act & do EVERYTHING the Oligarchs & Putin want!
He took the path of least resistance for himself ~ and didn't trust that the American people might be willing to make some personal sacrifices to save our country.
Schumer is no strategist- leading Dems to 3/4 lost elections, trumps 3 SCOTUS confirmations it’s time to #resignchuckschumer new party leader now @senatedemocrats.bsky.social
Thank you for this I have been gaslighting myself all evening after seeing this interview (on YouTube
Not MSNBC) and what Chuck said about the courts threw me. I’m hoping for a McCain moment tomorrow for Chuck and all of us
I’m in my 40s and I barely remember power being used for the people. The wins we had are now being gutted by a psychotic cult as spineless “leaders” just standby and watch.
It seems the only time they do remember they do have power is when they need to aggressively fundraise, but that’s about it!
So when a country, say like Chile, is made unstable by intentionally created chaos, the government becomes unmanageable and Vital government services AND ASSETS are turned over to private companies. That's what's happening here. Theft. Manage the chaos. Stop making folks more afraid.
I am sick and tired of these cowardly Democrats. Chuck Schumer is a coward. He is no longer a leader in Democratic Party. We need more progressive Democrats like AOC and Jasmine Crockett.
Republicans refused to compromise with Democrats on budget bill. WHY ARE YOU?
So PISSED OFF at this spineless SOB. God damn it. What will it take? ICE coming to his house to deport his family? (Remember there is no Birthright citizenship).
You know, i used to say the lesser of two evils. But I'm sort of over that philosophy. It's neither. I'll not continue to vote for a party that does not fight back
Tell your senators: replace @schumer.senate.gov and vote no! Govt shut down = DOGE shut down. Nowhere in CR is a court shut down. Coup is ignoring court orders anyway. Text SIGN PHGMUF to 50409 to fax or email now: https://resist.bot/petitions/PHGMUF
Courts can operate for a short time w/their own reserves. W/no reserves they can’t operate.
He can determine what agencies=essential &those will operate in a shut down. If courts are determined essential they would cont; if not, theyre closed (absent reserves).Though, he’s ignoring courts, anyway
The Dems have destroyed all faith and credibility that they are doing anything for the people. @schumer.senate.gov must step down if they want any money from me. The only thing worse than being a fascist dictator is failing to do anything to stop a fascist dictator, and the Dems are f@#$ed
Schumer is just bad leadership. He needs to retire. You can't do what you've always done, and expect different results. He's taking a hankie to a gunfight
“In a very real sense, Chuck Schumer is handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk the absolute power they crave. And he’s getting literally nothing in return.“
Wait a minute, Senator Schumer, didn't Trump ask for a clean CR? In addition, wouldn't voting the present bad CR down force Republicans to bring a clean CR up for vote?
It truly is a wtf moment. Chuck
Should realize that the Republicans already have shut down our government he should be using his power to fly back. What a travesty. Especially when we needed him most in this moment
Ostensibly, Schumer’s a smart guy, someone who understands the dimensions of things… so this weakness isn’t likely about ignorance or stupidity… though even smart people have fatal blind spots.
I’m not trying to be charitable. I just think he can be relied upon to undercut his party and The People.
He is using his power to mobilize DEMs and GOPs in the background for votes. And soon as the cash hit the offshore bank accounts that's when they vote. In the meantime they all lie about not voting. DJT and Corporate America knows the Dems and GOPs who are for sale.🤣
We should trade Chuck for Mitch and a pick swap nfl trade style. Each side gets an expiring contract, maga keeps a vote for their shit which is all they care about and Dems get experience with kicking ass in the minority
They (Schumer and whomever else) will vote YES for this bs. Then in a month come out and start telling us all how bad it is and how they are going to "fight" for us to save the very thing they are giving DOGE permission to cut.
This is why we keep losing.knife to a gunfight. it was never about the shutdown it was about the statement!!!! Standing up to what muskrat & tRump. U are hoping the economic train wreck he is causing will be his undoing.. how has that been working out? Waiting? Watching it all get destroyed
What a disgrace! Replace the New York surrender monkey immediately! Typical Democrat incompetence. The only opportunity to resist Trump/Musk and this clown waves the white flag.🏳️

Think how important the work of the Archive is now, having preserved much of what DOGE has been destroying. But Joy decided to throw it under the bus.
Fuck Off
- Schumer/Democrats are old-school trying to prevent destruction of government programs that benefit American people.
On the other other side:
- Schumer/Dems are naive because Trump IS DESTROYING those programs ANYWAY.
Hey, SCHUMER/DEMS!
WAKE UP!
It's time for a REVOLUTION!
In truth, there is no government to save.
MAGA have violently attacked our Capitol and filled our government with grifters & fascists.
