Durbin is #2 and he is no better- votes GOP like Schumer. Durbin is so with the times he has not even activated his voicemail- I tried to comment last week and no voicemail set up at his office
@schumer.senate.gov is a coward! And I'm not a Democratic voter, but very much an Independent.
Any lawmaker, including mine Rep Jeff Crank that will not face their voters needs to have their lives in public be made miserable. They've forgotten who works for who and need a reminder!
I’d like to apologize to the woman who just called me. I laughed when she said she was from the DSCC and told her they’re not getting a dime until Schumer’s out. That was rude of me.
The day after shitting his pants in public he goes on The View!? Could you find a bigger Yenta?! Absolutely the wrong type of person to combat rabid fascists. Having this guy lead the Dems in the Senate is like taking PowerPoint presentation to a gun fight. What an embarrassment.
Can #TheSquad go with him? The Uncommitted vote protest for Gaza, Defund the Police, Medicare for All, ... got us here. Trump uses the media to make their message toxic. If ppl focus on what theGOP led Cong isn't doing we wldn't be here. The caste sys, money & fame rule Amer & 50% of Amer feel safe.
Yep. None of you get it. It only took another 2% of the vote to beat Trump & get it! It's abt timing & using leverage at the rt time-When you have pwr! One thing Trump gets-Get ctrl so you can get what you want. He's pure evil. How long will it take now to get M4All, =justice & DEI policies now?
Yes, i know. However, the effect of voter suppression was much greater than any of those factors. Defund police & M4A was barely part of any campaign - besides M4A had widespread support. Anyone with 2 braincells knew Trump was way worse on Gaza and wouldn't vote or abstain regardless.
All the more reason to focus on winning, then protest. The fight is agst the Amer caste sys. Ya have to win to make advancements. Instd we go 2steps forwrd & 3steps bck. Now were 6 decades bck bc Trump won-a 2nd time. Like her or not, think where we cld be if Harris won. @msnbc.com @aoc.bsky.social
Lots of weirdly botlike accounts astroturfing the pro-Schumer narrative in your replies. Complete with rank misinformation about what a shutdown would have entailed (closed courts, fired feds, implying House Dems couldn't be trusted). I guess we've got the juice here if we're worth influence bots.
If you have a Democratic senator(s), write them and demand that they remove Schumer AND Durbin from leadership. They are too weak and too collaborative to remain there. They are not the leaders for the moment . . . at all.
Call & email your Senators & Reps, and tell them why Schumer has upset you. Process in vid.

He doesn't have the money to detain all the people he wants.
He doesn't have the money to send people to El Salvadorean concentration camps.
He doesn't have the legitimacy to destroy departments as he has.
To be fair, if he hadn't supported raising the debt ceiling then the government would be shut down and Trump would be able to cut all funding to any programs he didn't like:
Say that around anyone with Scandinavian roots and their ass puckers.
WAY worse than collaborator- my bestefar won that argument with my nonna when I was a kid and both were Nazi resistance.
Schumer and the 10 Dems did the right thing. If gov't closed, Trump would have the power to wield more damage, cause more pain and cost to the American people and Dems would be blamed. Why delay it? This way Trump has his budget and the imploding will be 100% on his shoulders. Then we can attack.
Schumer did the right thing. A shutdown would have given the President carte blanche. Instead of disarming Trump, we would have handed him more guns and fresh ammunition to use against us.
The greatest failures of leadership are to have failed to identify, mentor and encourage those ready to succeed you and to yield to them happily when the time comes.
If he let the shut down happen only Trump would have the power to open it again.It has been confirmed via reporting he was told by a fuchin Republican Trump wasn’t going to open it-was going to shut it all down &declare himself Putin Jr(as were other reporters told)we’d be in Trumpastan.Get it yet?
There was an interim plan proposed by Murray and LaRosa, recommended by Pelosi, that Schumer didn't even consider. He knew the dangers of shutdown when he vociferously defended a clean CR. Even if in the long run, he and the 9 voted yes, it would have been after trying something else first.
Just don't. Do you even know the definition of Treason. Because technically that is what we are doing talking about removing Trump by any means other than impeachment.
Are AOC, Pelosi, Jeffries, Clark, and the rest of the House Democrats traitors working for Trump? Because they were telling Schumer and the rest of the Democratic Senators to vote no on cloture.
Rofl so now Jeffries is a hero a week ago all of you were attacking him as weak and useless and he had to go? It is so hard to keep is straight with some of you.
I wish I knew I wish I knew who the fucking traitors in the DNC were. I knew Harris was and against my better judgement I held my nose and voted for her and she sold us out did not even challenge where she had a landslide in exit polls. She took the 10 mil lecture circuit bribe and betrayed us.
They don’t care. Over 200 people were just disappeared, we don’t know if they’re criminals, if they’re undocumented, if they’re naturalized, if they’re citizens.
Only 2 court orders out of a ton have been openly defied and this last one has cost Trump a shit ton of support both in the media and in the Republican House members.
Keeping judges ruling against Trump is all that is standing between us and civil war on our fucking streets you dont want that
Nothing was stopping Schumer from laying out his case with more detailed nuance. He's pulling the "just trust me, this was better" and, well, we have good reason not to trust him. Like I'm open to a reasoned argument for the CR. He flipflopped. Like if his reasons were solid why the 180 overnight?
The courts don't just close immediately in the event of a shutdown. They have additional weeks of funding, reserve funds and various funding sources independent of congress.
I can't find anything on doge affecting judicial appropriations.
The court system is set up so that even if everything else in the government is closed they will still operate for quite sometime. I am sorry but, you've been Schumered.
Normally federal courts have funds to operate for 2 weeks during a government shutdown. However there is not assurance those funds are there now thanks to DOGE but that being said courts are streamlined if nothing else. During Trump's last term there was a 35 day shutdown.
Not only that: the courts don't actually shut down. They operate normally for about two weeks and then switch to mission-critical functions. Some things may be delayed, but they don't shut down.
We had a 35 day shutdown during Trump's last term in office and they fucking shut down the courts. Yes I know how it is supposed to work. but I also know how bosses tell people not to come in if they are not being paid.
They are not defying all of the court orders but you would fucking surrender all fucking chance to slow Trump down because you are so fucking brain dead you just lemming along behind what the Russians want you to believe.
You're clearly missing a ton of historical context here. Liberals have always sided with fascists. They are center-right capitalists, and when it comes down to left vs. right they stay on their side.
People who aren't part of the ruling class aren't actually liberals. We are the proletariat.
This is an old people "thing", harping about "keeping the courts open" where are you hearing this? Nobody CLOSES our courts. I've heard four old people say that on TV call in shows.
Stop using lies to ground your position. There have been 11 hearings against Trump's executive orders 6 have been blocked by the courts and obeyed by the Trump administration. 4 are pending rulings and 1 was openly defied. That 1 defied order has brought a shit storm down on Trump.
What lies?! He brazenly defied the court order to stop the illegal deportation of over 200 people. Up until there are consequences for his actions, he will continue to defy the court orders.
We are not slowly rolling toward fascism. We are already here! The soon people realize it, the better.
Exactly that was the first court order he has defied and look at the fucking outrage against him from the media and even other republicans that had been defending him.
Trump contrary to his own lies is not above the law.
He may even get charges against him for defying a court order
Ugh google is your friend he has only defied one the one he defied Saturday. He has bitched and moaned and made threats against the judges families but he has honored all the rest of the rulings.
EVERY part of this war in the party right now attack party leadership trying to replace them with freshmen with no idea how anything works its all according to some plan EVERY last bit of it. Even us disagreeing right now is part of their plan they want this chaos. A divided house can not stand.
Hey Joe, I’m going to hold your hand when I say this - we are divided. Democratic leadership has shown over and over again that they punch left, not right. They want to maintain norms and hope nobody notices how quiet they are
From someone who works in the federal courts: they stay open during a shutdown because they perform “essential” or “excepted” government functions. Also, unlike in the executive branch, judiciary funding continues for another 2 weeks after a shutdown. Then courts stay open but folks don’t get paid.
If you work in them then you know after a shutdown pending litigation grinds to a fucking halt and everything is slow walked unless its for a critical ruling.
All cases continue to be processed and argued as this is the core function of the judiciary and “mission critical” work. This guidance is from the Administrative Office of the Courts, BTW. But sure, tell me more about how the judiciary functions.
Interesting considering that did not happen during the 35 day shutdown during Trump's last term in office. The courts damn near froze. I get how its supposed to work but I am talking about how it actually does work.
I totally agree with you in a perfect world with a reasonable President and a lawful GOP that would have been exactly the path to go, but Trump wanted it shut down he is tired of judges getting in his way. He is losing that is why he criminally defied a court order Saturday. He is losing.
Trump wanted it shut down so bad that when presented with the bill Schumer helped clear, he vetoed and shut... no wait he signed the Republican bill and preferred it over shutdown. So no, it's clear this bill was a high priority for Trump & Schumer betrayed the House Dems to give Trump this victory.
What is going to happen when the GOP pass a more horrendous bill in 6 months? What if they include an abortion ban in the CR? GOP will not pass a budget, just cede power.
Oust Schumer from leadership. If gov shuts down, protect FED workers that refuse to work unpaid. Shut airports, ports, border
What if? Seriously we are playing the what if in 6 months game? Here is one for you what if fat fuck drops dead from one too many buckets of KFC extra crispy.
How long do you think the GOP could keep everything shut down? How long before the entire country turned against them?
Schumer did exactly what Trump wanted him to do.
We didn't even put up a fight. I have never been more ashamed. All of them have to go.
Please if you are going to debate with me do some fact checks and come at me with honesty and facts not a bunch of fabrications and angry lies like fucking MAGA do.
Not even remotely what I did and you know that. This guy was chain posting the same feed that 20 other accounts on here all posted at the exact same time want to talk bots?
Not true federal courts can only operate for 1 week once a government shutdown is in place there are 5 rulings in litigation right now against Trump executive orders. There have been 5 court orders against Trump and until saturday all of them have been honored if not respected.
Schumer is a fascist collaborator. If the GOP wanted a shutdown, they would have shut down the government. If Trump wanted a shut down he would have veto'd the bill. Defending the fascist collaborator is a weird hill to choose.
Just fucking stop jabbering and defending your wrong headedness and THINK about it.
Shutting down the government does nothing to stop Trump, NOTHING so why this movement in the democratic party to shut it all down?? Where did it originate? Hmm?
Usually democrats are strongly opposed to shutdowns
Social security checks are still going out for now. Government offices are still open, employees are still being paid, those employees the judges ruled had to be rehired are being rehired, the mail is running, and judges are still hearing litigation against Trump and making rulings.. He got nothing?
Social Security checks would still go out wake the fuck up, he didn't get anything for his vote and handed him the keys to continue ruining our country
Actually normally its two weeks and right now thanks to Musk those funds are not there. The courts could maybe function for a week then they would be on critical issues.
Schumer isn’t doing anything but what’s best for Schumer. His & Jeffries non-action & book tours in the middle of a fascist regime says it all. Look at what they do, not what they say. Scope out Schumers net worth. Look at his major donors. Connect the dots.
DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN SUPPORTERS should read “How A Shutdown Could Empower Trump.” “...if you thought the second Trump administration has been chaotic so far: just wait until it’s put in charge of presiding over a shutdown.” A few courageous Sen. Dems supported Country Over Party. https://tinyurl.com/3b3w3a5f
Oh, what a shame! I was looking forward to the reactions to Schumer going on a book tour after his shameless betrayal. Guess I’ll have to settle for watching Tesla’s sales crash instead; still plenty of karma to enjoy.
I’ve booed a couple. I mostly just stare at them in disgust and shake my head also in disgust.
They’re all over in the neighborhood I’ve been working in last few weeks.
Everytime I get off the freeway, Tesla town. 🤢
@schumer.senate.gov
You don't play footsies with the Fascist Felon and his goons in the middle of a coup. Every Democrat who voted for Project 2025 budget must be removed. This is betrayal of our democracy and our values.
Contact this coward and let him know your thoughts!
Listening to Chuck and many of the “senior democrats” is like sitting at the kitchen table, listening to our parents and grandparents talk about back in the day. Respect to the elderly, but now move over and let the future Democrats do their jobs!
Yeah he canceled his town halls and his book tour he knows what's coming when the Senate's back in session there's going to be a vote to remove him as minority leader.
Documented security concerns, or fear of being embarrassed by Democratic protesters?
I've read perspectives from lawyer friends, & better understand the rock/hard place decision Schumer made; however, he seems to have lost many in the Senate, & certainly many voters who volunteer.
They promoted his live appearance tomorrow on "The View", which was scheduled to help sell his book of course. I wonder if that's canceled now, too.
@schumer.senate.gov,
the head of the #SurrenderCaucus. 🐈
Good decision. He has good reasons for what he did which he has failed miserably to convey to everyday Democrats. That’s what he should be focusing on right now.
I don’t think anyone wants to read his book let alone hear his stupid voice or see his weak spineless self in person. I’m betting he received several death threats after SELLING OUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE last Friday. My SIL is being treated for cancer through Medicaid. She has decided not to fight….
People are angry as hell..that's where he fucking miscalculated the intense anger.The felon and the Nazi along with the Fascist Party are turning our country into a God damed dictatorship and no one is stopping it cause they fucking control everything including the morally corrupt assholes on the SC
He blatantly ignored us his colleagues
Which proves
Out of touch
Too old
Obviously deaf to constituents
So resign
Because this is what u will be known for
I wonder who told him that it wasn't the far right who was trashing him on Social Media. What a difference a day makes. He is so DONE! Step down and resign!
What town halls? @schumer.senate.gov U mean BOOK TOUR. He is done with representing NY & being minority leader. he needs to up his bank account before retirement. You know, he lives on Gov wages, poor man. Why would u think he would put Country 1st & actually reach out to & LISTEN to ALL people
Good riddance. Schumer and some Democrats are part of a Controlled Opposition that give the illusion of an opposition.
They don't have any sense of loyalty to We the People or real opposition to the ruling power. They are bribed self-servers that need to be removed from office by people power.
Ohhhh…. So saaad- not! … cabron! Hope that’s not the only thing he cancels. He needs to step down yesterday! 🤬 Good for nothing. And Jeffrees better take note.
Perhaps the best way to resist/protest this particular thing would be to contact the publisher. Maybe with enough negative feedback, they'd pull the book entirely. Money talks & a bad investment is a bad investment 👀
Good. Talk about misreading what is going on & how angry people are. The silent majority republicans played him like a fool. Put him in a no win position and he pissed everyone off with his decision
Maybe it will wake the Dems up. Remember your oath to the Constitution. Get out there and do your job
We clearly have much to learn about holding our party accountable. I don't see how forming a third will help when we haven't yet learned how to manage the one we have.
He is an inside plant from Moscow, a very successful operation too. He's been around how long screwing over the working class? Way to long is the answer. He needs jailed
#fuckchuck #dietmagadems
smug bastage don't care that's why he cancelling his town halls every one of his actions has been exactly and I mean EXACTLY the same as the MAGA twats just step back and see it in the abstract you can finally see the sailboat! ;)
Great, so we’re going to waste all of our energy fighting amongst ourselves while the country and our democracy is destroyed. It’s no wonder we lost the election, when we shoot our own just because we disagree with a no win situation.
Sorry. Really not finding your point. And, I don't believe I have ever uttered 'beta boy' in my life and really, find it unlikely I ever will. But you do you. ✌️
Hey Adam normie Dems are the biggest supporters of Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 you know that, AOC & HER squad will knife u in the back just like MAGA will. Think about that.
Yeah, yeah, the people who would protest are all anti-semites. They're all haters who wish him harm because they are bad. He's decided to take notes from the Trump-the-martyr playbook.
I was wondering which city would protest him so hard he'd cancel the rest of the tour. Seems he decided to preemptively chicken out.
Nobody better buy his fucking book.
Hakeem didn't 'hold the line' until after the huge backlash of his wet-noodle stance on the GOP.... "what can we do? They control the House and Senate". Nah, he's just now starting to read the room and realized his $174K salary is on that line.
If protecting the Constitution and Democracy is only a collateral affect of him protecting his salary, I'll take it. But I would prefer a representative who does his job because he took a solemn oath to do so.
Good one. We are just gonna show up at the next one though so what's the point? He needs to face this head on or GET THE FUCK OUT THE THE WAY! Love you all <3
I knew he would cancel the book tour. I thought he'd get screamed at by at least one city first, though. He preemptively chickened out!
Let's scream at him anyway!
May he have no peace, until he resigns!
Saw a clip of an interview this morning where he responded to backlash by saying he has 3 more years so he is not worried- He can and should be removed before 2028 from any leadership role

There was a third option - that is what @schumer.senate.gov should have pressed for.
We should have not voted for cloture - instead forced the MAGAts to negotiate a clean CR.
Oust Schumer from leadership. If gov shuts down, protect FED workers that refuse to work unpaid. Shut airports, ports, border

This very much feels like a post hoc rationalization for caving on the CR.
