I completely understand Schumer wanting to avoid a shutdown - they’re destructive, and they harm a lot of folks who don’t deserve it.
What I *don’t* understand is Schumer saying that Dems were unified in opposition only to change his mind a day later. He looks like a jackass.

She has way more guts & fight than Schumer.
I’m ready to make calls, send emails, do whatever it takes to remove Schumer from his seat as senate minority leader.
I’d like Jeffries gone too, 😉
We need new leadership.
I haven’t called Schumer’s office.
I’ll add that right now.
All over the country.
Last three elections.
👍💙👍💙👍💙👍
Paid him, threatened him, or made promises to him
SCHMUCK!
But I am Pleased to see your account here. And will happily press follow. Good to have some nuance in the tl.
Until then Democrats don't have to do anything.
Vote No on cloture and the CR.
Schumer needs to announce he's not running again and go out in a resistance blaze of glory.
"Both of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s daughters work for the tech giants: Alison Schumer works as a privacy and politics product marketing manager at Facebook parent company Meta ..."
"... while Jessica Schumer is a registered lobbyist for Amazon in New York state. The fate of the Senate’s antitrust bills targeting the tech industry comes down to Schumer, who will ultimately decide whether or not to bring them to the floor."

Johnson has him in his pocket!
Schumer needs to go.
Also, how suitable is the title tyRANT for Trump?
#resistance
Hell, Leader Muskow is doing secretive rolling shutdowns without any governance.
So why not jump ahead of him and shut it all down, settle the dust, and resume with more visibility and clarity?!
This is on All Of Us in the USA.
Democracy needs Citizens to support it.
Otherwise, maybe we deserve a benign Monarchy?
King Charles sounds like a good choice at this point lol.
Many sat home and did not vote, out of their benign neglect of our Democracy.
"cherry-pick" what they want to shut down. Well he's chainsawing the shut down now and keeping the money (have you gotten any?). So what's the win by caving?
No wait fellas! I agree it's disparaging! He didn't mean it.
I don’t think there is a good solution here either way. But many screaming on Bluesky that will still get a pay check 3, 4 6 months from now.
It’s between:
A) Granting Trump & DOGE legal, congressional, Dem-approved authority to do more cuts faster
B) Having a shutdown that allows Trump & DOGE authority to do more cuts faster, until Rs in Congress agree to help.

When Democrats are in the minority they turn into possums that fall over and die at the slightest hint of opposition

Trust me, other parts of the world are very well aware that it’s NOT business as usual.
The United States federal government shutdown from midnight EST on December 22, 2018, until February 9, 2019 (35 days) was the longest government shutdown in US history and the second and final federal government shutdown involving furloughs.
Nay.
Is. Is a jackass.
It’s a gun fight and he wants to use finger paint.
We need a warrior!
Rule #1: Don’t submit in advance.
This is a leader who truly loved his people. The CIA admitted it was a democracy. The USSR faced operation barbarossa. For their very lives, they went to war. To stop fascism. The UK had an empire to save the US helped. The red army partisans fought to stop fascism alone.
Fight no war but class war. Fight for your class not your country. No reason to die for imperiam.
In 1917 Russia left ww1 because the people mattered. Remember the October revolution. We need all hands on deck here to fight the American empire at home & abroad.
I AM ANTI CAPITALIST ANTI IMPERIALIST THIS IS A HUGE REASON WHY. ITS UNACCEPTABLE. NOBODY DESERVES THIS. NOBODY DESERVES A GOVERNMENT OF MILLIONAIRE'S OWNED BY BILLIONAIRES WHO DON'T BELIRVE IN ANYTHING NOT SPINELESS.PAID WELL TO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT GETTING VOTES
He's been completely ineffective since Trump won the election.
Call each of these Senators to NOT vote with the GOP & instead grow a spine. Each number starts with 202-224
Schumer - 6542
Hassan - 3324
Peters - 6221
Durbin - 2152
Schatz - 3934
King - 5344
Shaheen - 2841
Fetterman - 4254
Cortez Masto - 3542
Gillibrand - 4451
I left a message telling him to resign.
We don't have an opposition party anymore. It's just another weak political party that refuses to stand up for average Americans, it's vets and it's people.
Anyone else?
#Democratic Senators MUST Vote Down This #MAGAGOP CR!
If They Don't, #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump WILL SAY, "And Now I Own The Democrats too, Schumer!"
"High Horse On A High Road"
NOT The Right Course For #America Right Now!
VOTE DOWN THIS CR!
🇺🇸 🗽
"Unified" does not describe anything that is going on in Washington these days
Trump is actively tearing down the federal government -- he doesn't need the Democrats' permission to do it, so don't give him permission
Where is the opposition party?
The Dems ain’t it!
