Schumer is a disgrace. At this point, Democratic voters are Charlie Brown and the Democratic leadership is Lucy. Why we support them at all is beyond me. So pathetic.

When she’s right she’s right 💅🏼

Schumer is weak. He needs to go. PRONTO

kristoferyoungdc.bsky.social•10 days ago

When do we stop the Republicans from devastating Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, Chuck??? We have leverage now. Use it!!!

In an extreme situation where the executive branch is actively undermining the Constitution, Congress could invoke inherent powers to protect the republic.

Reposting a question I added to another post-

Help me understand: could the idiots do more damage if Dems vote no and there is a shutdown???

drakenknight.bsky.social•10 days ago

Chuck Schumer's office doesn't take after hours calls

But you can tell his office to vote NO on Cloture via fax

(Do not spam. Do no malice. Let your voice be heard)

I think this is a big mistake. It legitimises fascism.

Senator Murphy for democratic Senate Majority leader❤️

Drag him- he deserves it- but there will be another 10 or so that will need to be called out.

This is one in a very long series of signals

I continue to be so disappointed by Schumer, Fetterman, and the other Dems who allowed this insult of a CR to go through. Thank you @summerlee.bsky.social for opposing it.

rickspics.bsky.social•10 days ago

PRIMARY! If we are lucky enough to have the midterms elections next year. Get rid of Schumer!

muirwithin.bsky.social•10 days ago

@schumer.senate.gov and any Dem who supports cloture must go!

satyana11.bsky.social•10 days ago

I will never vote for him again, and that’s a promise

theeagles.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is disturbing news! I understand that a government shutdown would be a costly way to take a stand against the Republicans budget! We need strong democratic leaders to fight for our democracy!

With you 100 percent!

southernson.bsky.social•10 days ago

You are assuming that the GOP wants to keep the government from being shut down, and that there is some leverage. I don’t think that they actually care, or maybe they would prefer a shutdown.

jaydeehart.bsky.social•10 days ago

Here here Summer! We are with you! Protect your working class and Democratic base people!

eric-pominville.bsky.social•10 days ago

As with Biden, there's tremendous ego involved when the old politician refuses to admit the fight has passed them bye.

sewick.bsky.social•10 days ago

they sold us out! @democrats.org I am FURIOUS! what is the point of our party if they don't speak for us. stand against this anti-democracy movement. i have no hope with Schumer at the helm. @schatz.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

tectonicforce.bsky.social•10 days ago

So the 🍊🤡 tells everyone that Schumer isn’t a Jew as far as he’s concerned. Schumer is a Palestinian. That’s what was said and now Schumer is changing his vote. Seems like the moment that signaled chuck to back down.

bigyachty67.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hope you consider replacing Fetterman someday. You'll have my vote.

peoplemustspeak.bsky.social•10 days ago

By shutting down the government, it SHOULD get peoples attention. So then what? Dems HAVE NO PLAN TO COUNTER THE FLOOD OF VITRIOL THAT WILL COME FROM REPUBLICANS. There will be NO DEFENSE UNLESS THERE IS A PLAN. They'll just stand and take the abuse, and the public will be in the dark. Then what?

jooltman.bsky.social•10 days ago

Oh, but don’t worry, he’s going to “conflict” with Republicans. https://bsky.app/profile/jooltman.bsky.social/post/3lkcjqusla22o

blluebird.bsky.social•10 days ago

Call your senator and email or phone Chuck Schumer even if you are not his constituent! We're all at the receiving end of that dirty CR if it goes through!

September will be worse. Now that Republicans know that Dems won’t put up a fight the Republican Freedom Caucus will demand much, much more from future spending bills. Get ready for a bill in September that completely defunds the Department of Education. Schumer just dug his own grave.
