SCHUMER: “Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort but Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their continuing resolution without any input—any input—from congressional Democrats. Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR."
Comments
“This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.”

I just wish Schumer had also made it clear that Musk, whom no one elected and who seems to answer to no one, and who also leads the rampaging DOGE posse, MUST go.
#FireMuskNow!
NOT the slash-and-burn psycho trash in the GOP's longer term CR.
These are the only two choices right now (that or gov shutdown)
If they don't fund the government, it makes it easier to dismantle. If they do fund it, it legislates the cuts. The poor need the funding, too.
I'm sure that Republicans are trying to codify these changes, else they could be reverted.
I'm really starting to hate hakeem and schumer
This kicks the fight back to the house for the freedom caucus to derail. It pretty much guarantees that there's a shutdown unless the freedom caucus behaves for once (lol, lmao even)
the last chance to save democracy won't be clearly labeled.
Is that too much to ask?
Or, you're just so stuck in a "Democrats are weak" loop, when they don't live up to that accusation, it's hard to break out of it.
"Democrats will sign to extend government funding for 7 days if republicans will negotiate in good faith to require the administration follow the laws and spend the money as legally required."
received my tax refund
and my last SS deposit
on time.
Otherwise, shut it down @schumer.senate.gov
Don’t let pundits (or Schumer for that matter) convince you that Democrats have any responsibility to avert shutdown.
The government is not currently functioning due to DOGE anyway so shut it down and force the GOP to work out a plan for ALL Americans
Hold the line.
Slap the shit out of Fetterman if you have to
Foolish strategy when dealing with Trump now.
If not, keeping track of the collaborators and donating to their primary challengers should be too
Tough decision, but ultimately side with the people to offer no out.
No Cr, no sexual predator relief, and no tariff nonsense.
We good.
Thank you. 😂

I'll just leave this right here.
Good trouble should be complimented!
Representatives won't meet for a Town Hall? Let them know you'll be there on April 5th and they are invited--in person.

Trump himself said, we can expect some difficulties with all these big changes. Hugely big changes..
It is ONLY ONE person's fault. Donald Trump!
“This Republican CR is harmful to the country and all of our people. The Democrats will never support something so irresponsible and dangerous. They don’t have the votes, and we are not bailing them out.”
Fixed it for ya, Chuck.
"Republicans want to govern on their terms, but they're incompetent."
That's quick, easily understood, and quotable. And true.
Do better.
As a radical monkeywrencher, good-faith liberals, he's being replaced by midterms, get with the memo. 🌹⚖️🫏
The excuse at the time was vague and unconvincing.
Democrats aggressive? That can’t be.
We’re always timid with weak messaging.
Someday soon we gotta show some guts.
American needs us to kick some butts!
Anyone/everything with this message. We have ONE day to keep them from cowering.
actually appreciate now.
So sad, so true.
Senators. Believe me,
many millions of us are
100% behind you.
We will go to the streets
to defeat these Rep. cowards + their masters,
President Muskee
+daddy Trumpee.
We don’t want these
corrupt project 2025
heritage creeps taking
over our country. It’s
not perfect, but it’s ours.
Hey Democrats - just get things done.
Why should Democrats come to their rescue?
Happy with Schumer decision but how long will it last? What kind of concession can the Dems get?

You guys have to be consistent and 🛑 playing Boo Peep with MAGA... AKA
Moscow Agents Governing America.
This isn't a game. It's 🇺🇸, ➕ you guys have THE CARDS.
So play them.
They can also throw in that it won't bring prices down.
Not. One. Inch.
