sorry to say, but if you look at the bill. this bill is basically Nancy Pelosi’s old bill, and tweaked a bit. No reason so risk a shut down at this time. Dems can’t look bad, not at this time. Let’s focus on taking the House & Senate so in 2 yrs we impeach him and remove him.
Just sharing this. The white supremacy musk just shared on X, in case you don't know who he is yet. This is the guy hacking through our social security and disability. Still think he means no harm? He is the "entitled" one. Not taxpayers. White supremacy in the white house. #muskisaracist
The billionaire vampires have already sucked all the money out of Uncle Sam. Enough is enough, we hold the line here and do not budge on more tax breaks for the rich. Increase taxes on billionaires instead and no budget cuts will be necessary.
Thousands of federal employees(who would have been directly affected by the shutdown) implored dems to vote no. It was about abdicating our future leverage. The responsibility for the shutdown would have been on the people who hold all three branches of the government.
I so wish I could quit the DemoCRAPic Party.
Honestly. Can we start a new wing of the party called the LIBRALIST BADASS Party?
@aoc.bsky.social can you step in & chuck Schumer out?
Even my daughter who AOC knows has a message for #Democrats after I told her.

Remember the Turncoat 10!
We are calling/posting to demand @schumer.senate.gov vote no on cloture for the House-passed Continuing Resolution, and move to pass a clean CR instead. It is vital that Congress take back their constitutional power of the purse and work to block Elon Musk’s control of our government.
How can you be the first to comment on this thread but nobody made a response that’s just mean so Jack Frost no I didn’t say frost I said fast FOST

Exactly. This is the time to FIGHT.
Project2025 is 40% complete in 6 weeks.. Every vote, action, speech, should be against the GOP's open push for fascism in the United States.
(This is 5-alarm fire, planes falling out of the sky stuff) https://www.project2025.observer/
if our elected leaders are just going to roll over and play dead, they should at least have the courtesy to perform harikari/seppuku, so someone can quickly take their place
Taxation without representation! We seriously need folks to step up and run against these greedy fools should we have another election. Hell! I think we should force them to resign now and hold special elections for every one who voted yes.
Any idea who is harmed most by a shutdown? I think National Parks Service employees have already been through enough. Liberals have always opposed government shutdowns for humanitarian reasons. If Dems succeed and shut down the government, all the pain will be pinned on Dems. How would that help?
History will crucify him for abandoning the American people. I bet he won’t suffer the consequences of his jelly spine anyway, being a multi millionaire.
What’s your beef with Chuck? Trump, Johnson and the republicans had them backed into a corner. Republicans would have won either way. A shutdown would have played right into DOGE’s hands. You’re not smart enough to see it.
We shouldn’t call him “Chuck” any more. “Chuck” is for kids with backbones. Just “Charles” from now on. “Charles” is for effete jerks who think they’re a step above. “Chuck” is your buddy. “Charles” is your elitist neighbor.
I’ve never understood how the Senate chooses who will be minority leader, or majority leader for that matter. It seems like once chosen, the person remains leader for the rest of their Senate tenure. Apparently seniority has a lot to do with it?
Wasn’t that because McConnell voluntarily stepped down? I’m not saying he wasn’t pressured — I have no knowledge. But apparently there’s no free, fair election of the leader, correct?
Schumer snatches defeat from the jaws of victory: the special skill of establishment Democrats.
And all in the name of… themselves, basically. Certainly not us.
Meanwhile, progressives like Sanders and AOC fight on, plainly and straightforwardly on our side.
Looks like too many Doge coins have been jammed up the ol' Schumer Chute!
PSST! Chuck! Heads up-- It would be more graceful and honorable to just retire at this point!
Chuck has got to go…he’s fucking Americans because he has no balls…he’s afraid…he’s not relevant during this time in history. Chuck is helping sink America. We need a strong LEADER NOW!!
And it's not merely a CR which the Repubs are trying to railroad through: there's also the de facto 'enabling act' aspect which gives #45/47 and his hench-beings virtually unchecked power. Given the administrative disaster which has ensued since January 20, I'm NOT in favor.
Maybe his paymasters have told him what he has to do and after all he’s just a businessman…
The level of dishonesty and farce in politics is mind numbing. Get those charlatans out of there and take away their pensions and his benefits.
After years of corruption they should face trial.
SHAME ON YOU @schumer.senate.gov You have betrayed the American people! @klobuchar.senate.gov I expect you to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Minnesota and VOTE NO tomorrow. Do not be a traitor or a Trump/Elon enabler.
It past is time to change Dem Leadership in the Senate. Shummer should resign for capitulation to Trump. He has just introduced hopelessness. AND… we need to see change. It is the same people doing the same things. Give people hope! There is too much comfort on the deck chairs of the US Titanic.

Mark, Donk and Brittney's accounts have been unjustly
Suspended they need all our help to speak up to #bluesky
@markhamillofficial.bsky.social
Because some fucktard spouted lies about them and they were suspended. I know exactly who was behind it. Email: [email protected] and state you want them back 💙
Blueskky wouldn't tell them. They did nothing wrong. They deserve there accounts back

I respect you, @Mar🐪, but a) please don’t use AI generated slop, even to make valid points, and b) please alt-text images for those of us who need it. Thanks!
So you want elon to have access to all departments with no one in them? And then Republicans control when they restart?. I honestly think there are Republicans forcing outrage right now.
So you say why take the chance of Elon getting in while no one is around, when we can just make sure his goon squad is paid to THROW everyone out and do it any way? Make sense, Baz.
Some of the opposition parties in Germany in the 1930s thought they could control Hitler by "playing by the rules". It didn't work, and most of them were imprisoned or murdered anyway.

I second the motion. I think that Schumer is acting in good faith, but he's catastrophically wrong in his reasoning. He is just constitutionally (pardon the pun) incapable of appreciating the gravity of the current situation. Democrats must show courage and resist.
Did he get an offer he couldn't refuse? Otherwise, he needs to realize the old ways no longer apply with this crazy circus. Hope the Dems can convince him to change his mind. We won't survive another month of this shitshow. Vote NO!
Schumer went on MSNBC with Chris Hayes today and said the shutdown would allow Trump, Musk, DOGE and Vought to control everything and close down the federal government. THEY'RE ALREADY DOING THAT! And he thinks if the government shuts down, only Trump can start it up again.
As far as I know, if a shutdown happens, Congress can go back to the table and put together a new CR or an actual budget. Once they do that and it passes, the shutdown would be over. How does the Senate minority leader not understand these things?!
Then, Schumer said courts would close under a shutdown. I'm not positive, but I don't think that has ever happened before. Why does he think it would happen now?
Federal government during the last shutdown in 2018 regarding federal district courts.
"the Judiciary remains open and can continue operations for approximately three weeks, through Jan. 11, 2019, by using court fee balances and other funds not dependent on a new appropriation...
Most proceedings & deadlines will occur as scheduled. In cases where an attorney from an Executive Branch agency is not working because of the shutdown, hearing & filing dates may be rescheduled.
The Case Management/Electronic Case Files system will remain in operation for e-filing of documents.
In a few weeks - costs will exhaust the federal Judiciary’s resources, the courts would then operate under the terms of the Anti-Deficiency Act, which allows work to continue during a lapse in appropriations if it is necessary to support the exercise of Article III judicial powers.
@schumer.senate.gov The UK PM Neville Chamberlain Doctrine, give in to evil, offer empty promises to justify it. On 9/30/1938, UK PM Chamberlain gave Hitler Czechoslovakia without asking the Czechs or Slovaks. In return UK PM Chamberlain PROMISED US PEACE IN OUR TIME. World War II started 9/1/1939.
For whatever it's worth, I sent the traitor an email requesting his resignation. For anyone who also wishes to send a polite, but strongly-worded email: https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/mess... He may not receive the message in time, but receive it he will. Fight, resign or be viewed complicit Chuck!
Dems got played like a fiddle. Trump, Johnson and the republicans had them backed into a corner. Republicans would have won either way. A shutdown would have played right into DOGE’s hands. You’re not smart enough to see it.
Chuck Schumer is corrupt, clearly. He learned nothing from Mitch McConnell. No concessions whatsoever. Unbelievable. No fight, no concessions. Imagine AOC in the role.
Primary Schumer's ass!! So few chances we will ever get a leverage against them, the first chance we get and they just drop dead...the f*ck is wrong with them! Hopeless!!!! F*ckin hopeless!!!
As a life long democrat I ask Charles Schumer to resign and step aside for the sake of our democracy and our party! Resign immediately or we will ask for a recall election
There is no legal provision to recall a US Senator. It is in fact unconstitutional. Maybe you should stay away from politics until you learn something about it.
What’s your beef with Chuck? Trump, Johnson and the republicans had them backed into a corner. Republicans would have won either way. A shutdown would have played right into DOGE’s hands. You’re not smart enough to see it.
I'm telling you the Democrats are playing games trying to read the rule book and do everything nice and sweet while the Republicans have thrown out the rule book burn down all the rules
Dems have the opportunity to show their constituents & the world that they are going to stand up to Trump,the Republican House & Senate. Instead,they are capitulating!This is a gift being handed to them but they would rather just go along and not upset things.Their way isn’t working!! SHUT IT DOWN!
Comments
But also the USA news never talk about what is actually on the bills.. (just to make stuff seem worst)
Still chuck did a bad job to publicly tell what are the gain... Too weak to talk! While Trump too fast to make stuff properly...
AOC ROCKS!
She is intelligent, articulate and right.
Honestly. Can we start a new wing of the party called the LIBRALIST BADASS Party?

So did all the of the other politicians that were politicians in Germany.
We are past that point. Rs sided with T when they decided to give up their power & not stop him.
Let the Rs dig their own grave. Ds shouldn’t accompany.
We shouldn’t call him “Chuck” any more. “Chuck” is for kids with backbones. Just “Charles” from now on. “Charles” is for effete jerks who think they’re a step above. “Chuck” is your buddy. “Charles” is your elitist neighbor.
there is a free and fair election, but they rarely challenge an incumbent. and i think they vote for a new one every congress
And all in the name of… themselves, basically. Certainly not us.

Schumer: Yes I know, but if we put up to much of a fuss, they will take away our tea.
