Plz ask him why Trump signed the CR bill if the shutdown was better for him. Why are Republicans not voting in their self interest as he alleges. And if the CR was the best option why did he ultimately vote against it after cloture passed.

itsdannyg.com•6 days ago

SMH @chrislhayes.bsky.social. His assurances that the Trump shutdown is worse for us and better for MAGA goals still makes no sense as Trump signed the bill. Appreciate the passion but disappointed.

feralhusband.bsky.social•6 days ago

Give him hell @chrislhayes.bsky.social! And ask the hard questions like “How much money did you stand to lose if the govt shut down?”.

jashleyphoto.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ask him why instead of uniting the Party with one resolute action, he followed in Trumps footsteps and decided to divide it. This division in such dire times only leads to more chaos. I want to know why he doesn’t step down and allow someone else to unite the party and forge a path forward.

saandy123.bsky.social•6 days ago

You need to cover the protests!

jkelly25.bsky.social•6 days ago

Can you ask him why they didn’t vote against cloture at least once to try to get concessions? They could have still folded later.

ebonette5.bsky.social•6 days ago

It is ludicrous for anyone at this point to think Republics will give concessions. What koolaid are you people drinking?

vendettabruschetta.bsky.social•6 days ago

Can you investigate his potential Russian or Network State funders or connections, please?

msbak.bsky.social•6 days ago

He is unwatchable. Schumer.

ohiorob.bsky.social•6 days ago

Will he be announcing his resignation, is the only question.

ebonette5.bsky.social•6 days ago

No. He did the right thing. Please research more before passing judgement.

vickileer207.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't know if he did the right thing, but he had reasons. Getting people rehired would be a good one, but it wasn't one of his stated reasons.

rnr1.bsky.social•6 days ago

The problem with Schumer's justification, is that it requires the US to still be a functioning democracy in order to be valid. I doubt we'll ever get the chance to hold trump et. al. accountable.

ohiorob.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is not the time to kick the can down the road.

og-strummr.bsky.social•6 days ago

this… kind of like the stock mkt where fundamentals long since mattering; there is no ‘right’ when you’re dealing with a broken/corrupt reality.

jenny58oh.bsky.social•6 days ago

I know what I’m not watching.

vickileer207.bsky.social•6 days ago

1. I wonder how he will justify this perceived betrayal. The reality is tRump was always going to decimate gov. agencies and can because the dems have little congressional power to stop him. Their power is in the community, reaching hearts and minds. Activating energy to protest. This is what gets

vickileer207.bsky.social•6 days ago

2. to tRump. His reason, preventing worse damage to agencies, doesn't really hold water. But getting 2500+/- employees rehired is a good thing and foils the plan to make agencies unable to function and provide the services to/for the people. Would not have happened in a shutdown. Might happen now

vickileer207.bsky.social•6 days ago

3. If it does, Schumer won. If tRump doesn't rehire them, Schumer loses. But taking the stand to get jobs back would have been risky if that had been his reason. Might not be enough to counteract the loss of trust from his caucus and base or restore his quedtoonas nle credibility. Only my opinion.

kevvc1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Now that he is being called to step down is when he starts doing press appearances. Too little too late.

warmingwaters.bsky.social•6 days ago

Convince me Schumer was not being threatened by MAGA thugs to vote yes on the C.R. Trump and his gang of felon convicts are professionals at obstruction of any justice.

xjayce.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't see how this goes well for Schumer...

sholahoon.bsky.social•6 days ago

Man deserves no platform to explain his cowardice

farewelltooz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Who wants to hear more excuse-making, anodyne comments and empty surrender bullshit from Schumer? Anyone? Hello? Bueller? Hello?

noreen900.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope he can assuage Dems. Personally, I don’t think so. We are livid.

taylormade56.bsky.social•6 days ago

Chris, make sure you remind him he LOST THE MAJORITY In 2024. Stop giving him a pass for living in the past. HE IS A FAILURE FOR TODAY'S DEMOCRATS

kengeroo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Won’t waste my time.

kengeroo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Won’t waste my time listening to the excuses coming from a coward who knows he shouldn’t be there anymore.

gingerdog.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't give a fuq what explanation or spin he puts on it. WE WANT HIM OUT!

genxbarbarella.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sorry @allinwithchris.bsky.social, I'd rather eat dirty cat litter than hear his voice again today. He helped pass the CR. His excuses are meaningless at this point.

fireboss.bsky.social•6 days ago

Can't wait for what this coward has to say.

democratsarelosers.bsky.social•6 days ago

Schumer is on his kiss ass media tour but we now know how Democrats are only for themselves & not for America. MSNbs is a propaganda network.

jerryeddins.bsky.social•6 days ago

He already said he didn't care.

maquismaven.bsky.social•6 days ago

We need to hear what he has to say. We might learn some strategy to use that's better than voting with Republicans.

miked5287.bsky.social•6 days ago

Good luck, Chuck. MAGA hates you, liberals hate you, we all hate you.

bopperyoga.bsky.social•6 days ago

Chris. Don’t give him any (hot) air.

mammothtruk.bsky.social•6 days ago

wont watch, there is no excuse

mynanacv2.bsky.social•6 days ago

Replace him.

juvenalisdacat.bsky.social•6 days ago

On one hand he's a Democrat so you will feel free to hold his feet to the fire, but on the other hand he wrote a book, so...

blueskyfire.bsky.social•6 days ago

The only thing holding this country together isn’t Congress or protests.

It’s the thing felons fear most of all.

Judges.

blueskyfire.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s a stopgap bill that lasts for 6 months.

Things are so crazy and judges still have a modicum of power it would be self immolation for the Dems to shit down the gov.

enclavepreseden.bsky.social•6 days ago

If he says anything other than he’s resigning then I’m not interested in hearing what he has to say

rachedy.bsky.social•6 days ago

No wonder nobody watches MSM.

lauriesmith60.bsky.social•6 days ago

Come on people just stick together on everything. That is the republican super power!!

vickileer207.bsky.social•6 days ago

I agree. We dont have like Chuch or what he did, but we can vote him out, l tell him we are angry, start a recall. But we can not turn our backs on the party, as imperfect as it is. This would play right into the maga agenda. We have to be united to fight, or we lose. That is Not acceptable.

texasvulcan.bsky.social•6 days ago

I understand Schumer's position. And I believe it was a terrible decision.

thewix5556.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not willing to listen to Mr. Schumer's empty words. He has lost all credibility...

crush.secondlife.bio•6 days ago

The rehabilitation book tour begins.

marshabarger.bsky.social•6 days ago

No, thanks. I'm done with my fellow baby boomers. Except for Bernie.

og-strummr.bsky.social•6 days ago

Chuck, you didn’t hold the line (even the hack on SCOTUS drew a line today) - time is running short; we need modern, more aggressive democratic leadership.

helenkellerdenier.bsky.social•6 days ago

Did AIPAC have anything to do with your decision?

ladycarpenter.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope @chrislhayes.bsky.social asks him why he ran on the fear of authoritarianism overtaking the government and has decided to use this time to go on a book tour. When a leader has lost the faith of the people, they’re no longer a leader.

dahearnlicsw.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hopefully he will be announcing his resignation/retirement 🤬

kddrock.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bring @aoc.bsky.social on the show too! Let them discuss together.

peaceseeker59.bsky.social•6 days ago

We are in the fight for our lives. If he can't handle it anymore it's time to go. Full stop.

yaboylasso.bsky.social•6 days ago

The guy who was paid to make sure no one fought fascism.
He is a coward. He is corrupt. He is the enemy.

benbrookjohn.bsky.social•6 days ago

CHUCKY CAVED!!

coppergurl.bsky.social•6 days ago

@schumer.senate.gov this is not backlash. This is our final straw.

Your leadership is not effective during this time of CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.

ansaar4all.bsky.social•6 days ago

Mr. Schumer doesn't believe we're in a crisis YET. Well we'll just have to pray it's not too late by the time he does believe

gosharks58.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sound reasoning. But, you disrespected the vast majority.
Step down.

retreado.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'd rather eat a bowl of cat shit.

jenny58oh.bsky.social•6 days ago

😂☠️

femmeparfaite.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ratings will be very low

molson05.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hard no. Don’t need to listen to him make excuses. He made it clear his book sales were more important than us.

brews2you.bsky.social•6 days ago

And to promote his new book. 🤷‍♂️

cwbates.bsky.social•6 days ago

ugh

nursey50.bsky.social•6 days ago

I watch Chris Hayes, won’t be watching tonight, the show will be be filled with excuses not listening to excuses anymore.

marystiles.bsky.social•6 days ago

Chuck, you were wrong!

themic50.bsky.social•6 days ago

Heads up, chris hayes, there's nothing to discuss with chuck on that issue.

kelihouston.bsky.social•6 days ago

Nt watching. Done with chuck

weboptimist.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hey, Chuck. In the immortal words of the late, great Leslie Jordan, "It ain't a-workin'!"

Step down!

davidfagin.bsky.social•6 days ago

Chuck Schumer is finished. Nothing he can say will save him.

flyoverarduino.bsky.social•6 days ago

Please ask Schumer where he misplaced his spine. It is obviously missing.

onerottencore.bsky.social•6 days ago

#FuckChuck

drudnerbraha.bsky.social•6 days ago

Too late for explanations there, Chucky!

antidramallama.bsky.social•6 days ago

@chrislhayes.bsky.social PLEASE don't let him weasel his way out this time. Hold his feet to the fire.

sandlapper.bsky.social•6 days ago

I sincerely hope that @chrislhayes.bsky.social will spend more time on Schumer’s feckless decision to support Trump and lousy “leadership” than his damned book.
