If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Well they have to have LEVERAGE, don't they. We have Four vacant seats in the house.
Matt Geatz 🤭
Michael Waltz- Trump appointment
Sylvester Turner (D-Tx) passed 3/5/25
Raul Grijalva (D-Az) passed YESTERDAY!? (condolences🙏) those vacancies wont be filled until special elections take place.
I have been trying to be understanding, but after today, I’m done. When has the GOP ever done anything for Dems? Schumer didn’t even try to negotiate! I CAN’T anymore!
wait until they spend the whole BILLION DOLLARS they got from donors hoping they wouldn't let #Trumpuskutin steal the election... right before they let #Trumpuskutin steal the election; THEN they're gonna be "give us another billion, we'll SURELY save democracy!"
Time to burn the party to the ground and build something new. We would’ve never been here if the Dems in power had done their jobs and held Trump and his lackeys accountable.
this is what makes me so mad. wtf did we elect y'all for then? i mean ESPECIALLY the ten Vichy Dems, but honestly they've all been lackadaisical about cabinet nominees etc.
And we can't trust the words that come out of their mouths. Gillibrand brags about being for vets and votes for this atrocity of a bill. Schumer claims they're resolved to say no and then rolls over like an excited puppy. His claims of some future fix are bullshit. He's a liar, all duplicitous liars
One of us is a serious person who understands math. One of us is willing to reward the good behavior of the vast majority of Dems while simultaneously condemning the wrongheadedness of a few.
Life is gray, not black and white. Don’t be like the MAGAs.
Agree. The House Dems stood firm (except for 1) against the CR.
It was 10 Senate Dems that caved.
Many Dems in the House and Senate have been fighting and pushing back. We need to keep fighting against what is happening!
Time for a New Democratic Party. One aligned around defending democracy here and abroad. Values driven and a big tent but nonnegotiable on that core belief in the rule of law, accountability and opportunity for all.
☝️This, so make sure you're ready to primary them or back a trusted primary challenger. Seems like there's only a handful worth keeping. Time to give the rest of them more time for book tours or whatever they're doing instead of standing up for us.
If nothing else comes out of this Trump 2.0 debacle it should be a thorough cleansing of the Dead-wood party - the geriatric barnacles, totally owned corporate subsidiaries and outright traitors to America - all gone.
Here in NY10 we literally can’t get our Democratic rep to go on the record saying he’d defend green card holders. He doesn’t think making a statement will make any difference. He’s a former federal prosecutor who ran on being tough against Trump. Total empty seat except when MSNBC cameras are on.
All Senators who voted Yes today

Our trust in them has been betrayed. Our hopes, urgent and vocal, have been misplaced as we clamored for their leadership, and our resistance has become that much harder. They can't even come together for this shutdown vote - and we think the R's are spineless? Shame on them - VOTE THEM OUT.
Yeah. I can imagine that if someone thought there was a distinction to be made between the parties today would be really shocking and hard to understand for that person.
Early 2025 is the time to take a stand, be bold and take risks. Dems have time to correct before 2026. Doing nothing while Trump wreaks havoc is far worse and make us look weak.
We lost the election and it's time to stop being shell shocked and get to work and get into good trouble.
Nazi enablers on Bluesky:
@schumer.senate.gov, @fetterman.senate.gov, @cortezmasto.senate.gov, @durbin.senate.gov, @hassan.senate.gov, @peters.senate.gov, @schatz.bsky.social, Kristen Gillibrand, @shaheen.senate.gov, and Angus King...
Congrats! You will be rounded up after the rest of the Dems.
We need people in office who will fignt. We don't have very many at the moment. They are worse than repubs when they get elected and then won't stand up for what they were elected to do.
So can we FINALLY agree that the Dem party are NOT the "good guys", they DO NOT REPRESENT US, and we need to forcefully take it from its corporate owners the same way the techbro-christian-incel coalition carried out a successful takeover of the Republican party?
Embedded in the works today was Congressional sabotage that prevents them from ending emergencies that Trump manufacturers to invoke his racist Q-ANazi agenda.
Senators Murkowski and Sullivan, ensure that Trump has no plans to give Alaska back to Putin. Unite Democrats and Republicans to stand firm in protecting Alaska's future.
That was always and ever the only real choice all along, Americans just wanted a savior so they weren't inconvenienced with having to actually fight for their own democracy.
Hadn't pols failed enough times already that it was CLEAR they would again? Yes, they had & Americans haven't met the moment.
A man of his stature never has sure footing until he's sat at the nursing home cafeteria table playing bingo. Let's help him retire and get there quicker.
Infuriating.
If we still even have elections #PrimaryVichyDrms
@democrats.senate.gov surrendered for a dirty CR, but equally as important: the surrender caucus dems showed that they will cave and pass ANYTHING the neonazis dump on them.
The party is absolutely fucking useless. Pull any donations because apparently Democrats agree with Republicans. From putting Merrick Garland in charge of Jan 6, confirming all the appointees, and now this.
There is no opposition party, its needs to be fucking gutted.
10 Democrats! I just donated to John Osoff. He voted an emphatic no even though he’s up for reelection in Georgia. Let’s support the Democrats who are fighting the good fight.
That’s become pretty apparent.
What will be their reelection theme? “We didn’t cause any commotion”? “We got along nice with our ‘colleagues’ across the aisle”? “We may have sold out America and Americans but at least we didn’t risk the personal wrath of the 47 regime and millions of MAGAts”?
🤮🤬💩
As beloved Maya Angelou said “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” This cowardly group of elected democrats shows their ass over and over and each time we hope they’ll do something different & they don’t. Except Fetterman. He’s always an asshole.
No! They PROMISE to seriously consider next time…if there is one…and then they’ll talk about decorum, and norms, and not giving into the left wing of the party because running even further right than Harris’s VERY RIGHT leaning campaign will be the answer. Fuck this shit. Let it all burn now.
Safe assumption. I have no use for anyone willing to bend the knee out of fear for themselves. Time to clean out the chaff, because the real revolution is right around the corner.
Paid opposition party. They never will fight. Simply paid not to.
There is nobody coming to save us, question is what are We the People going to do now? The Left doesn't have cohesion or even a leader. How do you organize a split disorganized party? Who is going to step into that role?
Just when I was beginning to relax my worried mind thinking we have people working to save all of us from the hell Trump/Musk have begun...I have now spiraled down to zero hope again. I don't see how we will save Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid...and there will be millions thrown into poverty.
Those Democrats would be talking about bipartisanship with their last breath as the poison gas filled their lungs in the camps. They have no sense of the moment.
*BREAKING* Trump has declared THE PURGE real and signed an executive order allowing hunting humans for sport. Will you donate $5 to SAVE DEMOCRACY? Text BOOK TOUR DEMOCRACY to buy!
“Double your donation to $10 and receive this resistance tote bag and coffee mug. So everyone at the work camps knows we’re you stood when it mattered most!”
They will do anything to avoid a fight. The reason they are a terrible political party is that they do not make decisions based on winning power through elections. They make decisions around minimizing risk.
Fought for none of it. Never passed a national abortion law when they had the power. Worked actively to prevent discharge of student debt in bankruptcy. On and on. We all kept on because the other side was worse. I’m stopping that, and if that means consciously not voting a la George Carlin, fine.
I didn't expect much from Dems in the minority but I did expect they wouldn't help Trump and Republicans pass their agenda in exchange for nothing.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised after Schumer gave Trump stimulus checks and child tax credits and took them from Biden. The guy is good at politics.
Plain truth. Not understanding the disconnect between we Democratic constituents & our elected Democratic officials: they are not reflecting our values, goals, priorities. At all.
What a disgrace. Your grandparents, parents, husbands, sons, daughters, and anyone else who fought and died in a war to defend freedom and democracy are screaming at you from heaven about what a disappointment your country has become. In just 54 days! Appallingly shameful.
Yeah. They are probably in on it all too with the GOP. I hope soon we got national ballot measures. Like we have on the local and state level. So we can just vote on national issues. Not every national ballot measure will pass or be good. But semi-direct democracy probably will get results IMO
Chamberlain Chuck the Appeaser has shown that he would rather roll over than fight. Time for change and new leadership in the Dem Party or a new party of the people to rise from the ashes.
That ship sailed 3 years ago when the other spineless coward, Joe Biden, gave a pass to every single Republican insurrectionist in Congress as well as Trump.
I just hope Biden lives long enough to see the destruction he caused by protecting domestic terrorists.
They haven't fought for anything since McConnell denied Obama a SCOTUS pick. For ten years, they've taken our votes, our support, and our money, and then they proceeded to laugh in our faces. Never again. I don't know what their end game is, but it's certainly not to ever win again.
Let’s be fair, almost the entire caucus was ready to fight, even those that won in Trump districts. It’s a rump of the party that has neither the courage nor vision for this moment.
There needs to be a consequence for today and that’s Schumer’s head.
That's the problem though. Whether it's two or ten it's always "just enough" outliers to make the fight lost. If Republicans only needed two votes do you really think all ten would have voted for it?
And if they needed twenty do you really think they would fail?
How long until the next funding round? Did this include the $4,000 billion tax cuts? If not, all is not lost yet….but Democracy in the USA appears to be on a knife edge - stand up for democracy
We have no organized leaders. The leaders we have need to be empowered to take charge. Time for the current leaders to get overthrown. No placating these weak clowns. We want change and we want it now.
I’m so done with this party. I’m not a republican and I am not a democrat. I want to burn this shit to the ground and have people that actually care about my well being.

Zombies. Disembodied mouths.
Didn’t understand their constituents needed at least a symbolic victory.
No resistance. No outcry.
They know nothing about leadership.
Not one miserable thing.
they’re not willing to fight over those, either.
Have we figured out yet that they are the same party?

Today, they made him a king.
Hadn't pols failed enough times already that it was CLEAR they would again? Yes, they had & Americans haven't met the moment.
“We are going to fight them (Repubs) every step of the way in areas where we have more sure footing.”
What an effing joke at this point! This man is either spineless or clueless!!! 🤦♂️
Caucus vote to drop Schumer from leadership NOW!!! 😡
If we still even have elections #PrimaryVichyDrms

No reason to send any to the #VichyCaucus
This was the ONE TIME Chuck, the ONE FUCKING TIME doing *nothing* was the right move. And somehow you fucked even that up.
What will be their reelection theme? “We didn’t cause any commotion”? “We got along nice with our ‘colleagues’ across the aisle”? “We may have sold out America and Americans but at least we didn’t risk the personal wrath of the 47 regime and millions of MAGAts”?
🤮🤬💩
Not voting for useless cowards anymore.
The Democratic Party is dead.
Let’s form the Labor Party, and become an army of the working class FOR the working class.
Status Quo Dems: 'We will NOT stop fighting for you & our democracy!' Waving cane around.
And yet Status Quo Dems: Hands over a blank check for the hostile gov't take-over to progress forward into full fledged Authoritarianism.

GOD. DAMN. IT.
WHY CAN’T YOU ALL UNDERSTAND.
THEYRE ALL FUCKING FRIENDS
ITS ONE PARTY.
There is nobody coming to save us, question is what are We the People going to do now? The Left doesn't have cohesion or even a leader. How do you organize a split disorganized party? Who is going to step into that role?
reward the Dems that didn't vote for this. Punish the ones that did.
They are an uninspiring group.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised after Schumer gave Trump stimulus checks and child tax credits and took them from Biden. The guy is good at politics.
I just hope Biden lives long enough to see the destruction he caused by protecting domestic terrorists.
There needs to be a consequence for today and that’s Schumer’s head.
And if they needed twenty do you really think they would fail?
They are not going to fight.
