Schumer isn’t making any sense to me. If they’re already wreaking havoc on the government without the CR, then why vote for the CR that FUNDS them to continue the bloodbath? - ThreadSky

He’s been in office so long he can only talk in slogans. Trump will have “the keys to the city”. What does that even mean? Schumer is so bad at this it hurts.

SCOTUS ruled presidential immunity for any act done as part of the job.
One judge said, "you have been found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records..I'm giving you an unconditional discharge." Meaning he’s a convicted felon, but will face no penalties,fines or jail time.->

Bull shit’. The point is voters are pissed! And it’s not only Dems. They want Dems in Congress to fight back against what Trump and Musk are doing,—destroying the government, free speech, education and American democracy. Overnight, Schumer changed his mind and caved, totally screwing House Dems

reply

It may have been that @schumer.senate.gov came to an understanding of what was at stake with NRx shortly before the vote, and only had enough time to persuade the eight other Senate Dems and one Independent of the grave danger of a shutdown, and to secure their votes.
