Honestly, why is Schumer caving? Would Bernie cave? Would Chris Murphy or Cory Booker? Maybe we need change in leadership. https://youtu.be/BV9g0MfvMtk
I believe Schumer.

They HAVE been doing their jobs. correct me if I'm mistaken, if government shuts down, Trump could (& likely would) declare Martial Law??!!!

Pence did a remarkable thing. I know that's an unpopular view. But he met the moment. He kept this madness at bay for four years.
Schumer has an opportunity to meet the moment now. Admit that he made a misjudgement, that he hadn't sufficiently gauged the mood of the country, and step down today.
I support Schumer. This is not going to be a two week shut down. They may shut down the federal government for years, and dismantle everything. These are not normal times. Don't expect normal efforts to reverse a shut down. A shut down gives autocratic power to Musk and Trump. This is an emergency.
The CR gives autocratic power to Trump and Musk. A shut down avoids the erasure of congressional checks on the executive. Rolling over to tyrants does not, has no, and never will result in the better outcome. Anointing a king to avoid a shutdown is not it chief
The scenario Schumer described with a shut down is worse, and if you've been paying attention you would have no doubt Trump would pursue it. We may never open the federal govt back up again. These are not normal times.
What good is an open federal government that has ripped out its own teeth? You are asking for the dissolution of the nation to avoid a funding pause. Are you really so naive to think that only the current emergency declarations will be the ones Congress no longer has a check to stop?
Well,
Truth be told
Pence hasn’t shown his but once, and he was in a gun free zone; safe place
And had all of the Congress, TV cameras, police and every form of protection possible.
Even then, it was circumstantial evidence.
But, yeah
Schumer shows that he doesn’t have them
Leaving no doubt
I laughed about that at the time, but now I think Mother kept him from being a target for Russian kompromat. If Mother is always there, no one can claim anything whether it happened or not. So he had nothing to fear when it came time to stick to his convictions. Say what you will, he is consistent.
He’s a total loss to America. We’ve always known he was weak, but now he’s a traitor to Dem voters and shall be treated as such.
Make his life miserable when he’s outside his home!
Fight these do nothing but roll over elected Dems!
During a shutdown the president gets special powers and I think he's proven that he should not have special powers he's also shouldn't have any power I think he should be in jail.
Well I haven’t really thought about it, and it’s not like I’m going ask either of them to provide proof, so I’ll just take your word for it, it’s okay with me not knowing how you know this. :)
I understand the frustration by progressives, but this is a lose-lose proposition for the dems...at the end of the day, trump and Musk don't give a damn about the people or the suffering a shutdown will cause and they will wait it out to infinity and their purpose will be served either way!
If the Democrats are going to lose anyway, they might as well lose for the right reasons and a good cause. In this case, at least slowing down the chaos even for a bit, that Trump is doing.
As a retired federal employee who was furloughed many times, most FEs are living pay chk to pay chk and 1000s who were recently fired and just had a judge order them back to work will be furloughed for God knows how long with no option for unemployment benefits giving trump exactly what he wants!
geez, that makes me so sad. I counted on Chuck Schumer. He’s been a rock. probably too old and too tired. But these guys refuse to retire so now we got this.
I believe Schumer.

Makes no sense. Court found EO targeting law firm blatantly unconstitutional. So he issues the same EO targeting another law firm. He will just keep going, shutdown or not. If Schumer was right that he’d have more freedom with a shutdown, Trump would have stopped the CR himself.
🧐 how tf DO we stop these fkheads then? I did hear Leavitt say lower court decisions don’t apply to executive branch. This is beyond horrible. Shitler. FOTUS. In 7 weeks we’ve lost All our allies
You can fill a book with the negative things one can easily say about Pence, but he took a knife to the back from his party in order to halt a fully fledged coup. When the moment arrived he chose the United States of America. Now is not the time for Chamberlain’s.
I assumed so, but the time between the election and Jan 6 showed, at his core, a man willing to choose nation over party. He didn’t fool himself into believing that giving into a power hungry dictators illicit demands would avoid greater conflict. Something Chamberlain failed to recognize in Hitler.
Ahhh, that's who chamberlain was. It's good to remember the true freedom fighters, considering they are few and far between. I use to hate John McCain, but he ended up saving Obamacare at the end of his life, because people know what's right at the end.💯
He had some other moments that showed him to truly be a decent man. Judge a man’s actions, but understand the content of his character. Sometimes bad beliefs and ideas interfere with their clarity, but we should still let them prove themselves when the moment challenges them.
How does one acquire power without tribulation and the experience of giving birth and suffering their death. Having to feed hungry bellies on $5 the man gave you. I’m here to tell you the superpower is in the downtrodden. The superpower is in women and minority men. But now the white male too.
Someone needs to tell Grandpa Schumer that this isn't a shutdown like the good ol' days.
There are obviously too many senior senators that are incapable of understanding the gravity & consequences of this moment.
Chuck Schumer & the rest of the dems need to reject the bill. This is not the time to be pulling a John Federman. The bill will hinder low & middle-class Americans instead of helping them. Approving it gives chump & his co-conspirator what they want. SMH AT CHUCK SCHUMER. Dems need a tougher leader
It is TIME we wake up to this: Establishment Dems are equal parts the reason we're where we are. Unequivocally a fact. Thruout history, their beholding is to wealth, status, donors, corporations. To keep trusting them to 'do the right thing' & be any different is Einstein's definition of insanity.
“If, however, USDA fails to instruct states to proceed with transmitting the necessary electronic files in order to timely issue February benefits, February SNAP benefits may be delayed or interrupted entirely.”
I was musing this as well... but I don't think the GOP fears him in the same way.
Maybe they could both go off a cliff together... while holding on to Johnson's leash...
Really, what did you expect? Trump lied and swooned over half the country, and Biden's failure in trying to run again put the Democrats in a no-win situation. Now they are arguing among themselves when they should be united. Dems are to blame as much as Trump is - but he's crazy!
Schumer has turned off his phones so you can send an email to him at [email protected] and tell him that if he doesn't have the cojones to stand up against the Republicans then he needs to resign from minority leader. His job is to REPRESENT us and be our voices and do our will
I guess Schumer is in a lose-lose situation.
If he approves CR,he'll be cursed by anti Trump people because actually helping republicans.
Is he doesn't, Musk would have one more big excuse to cut down expenses damaging more people in the process and Trump will blame him for that.
Isn't #1 less bad?

You owe it to yourself—fight for your Social Security and theirs. We don’t want any Democrats supporting the Trumpublicans on this CR. He wants all of America’s money for his tax cuts, even if it means you suffer. This is how you prevent your new king from gaining power. https://bsky.app/profile/eykyu.bsky.social/post/3lk7dzrpbnk2s

Activism is needed to confront the fascists not voting with them. A vote for Cloture should create clear division within the Dem party to cause a split and formation of a 3rd party.
Yes I agree. So many Dem leaders have done NOTHING. Schumer is caving without a fight. The GOP are foxes in the hen house. I’m starting to believe majority of Dems are wolves in sheep clothing. Just enriching themselves. This explains letting Trump off for Jan 6th

Any way we can talk about strength other than via male gonads?
How about, “ What time tomorrow do we change Leadership?”

Close down govt = no courts open to shut down trump.
CR is the better to 2 evils.
Make sense now? I hope so.
Democrats . . . don't fall for the poisonous GOP bullshit. Democracy and the American people come first, remember?
Vote no, no, no, FUCKING-WELL NO on the lying, slimy, RepubliCROOK 'CR' bill!
Make his life miserable when he’s outside his home!
