Schumer? I doubt he was directly threatened. His constituents are bankers and big business owners in New York. Shutting down the government would have hurt their bottom line. He’s always put their interests first.
Did you notice that Schumer had to inject himself into the moment by announcing history had been made, as though he got some credit for it? Booker should be Senate Minority Leader.
Finally someone with some cojones!
Not that stupid Fetterman who is full of baloney!
Cory Booker stands up to rail against the Lying King!
For hours and hours Cory did sing!
Now we need some more senators to stand up!
And drink from that big truth cup!
I think @schumer.senate.gov should step aside right now and @booker.senate.gov should become Senate Minority Leader--after he has a chance to relax and take a nap.
Lol leave Chuck aloooooone. No matter how much y'all want him to act like a Republican, he's not gonna do it. He's the leader of a grown ass political party. He cannot be some bomb throwing radical. Booker has plenty of colleagues who can back him up visibly and vocally. Start wailing on *them*.
Booker vs Schumer?
Is that what you got out of Booker’s historic feat?
Because it wasn’t easy. And it took fortitude and preparation. It took the support of his colleagues.
I don’t think Booker did it to be used for generating divisiveness.
Not a huge fan of Schumer’s, but not this either.
If Schumer had not elected to fight fascism v just fighting the GOP, there would have been no Cory Booker last night. Schumer knew we HAD to keep gov't open to fight. If he hadn't done that? No Booker. We needed Schumer so Cory could fly. Trump intended shutdown to last YEARS. Said so.
Omg! Thank you! I’ve tried explaining this to them. I posted tons of articles from experts. They don’t get it. They just want Schumer out and AOC in. They don’t seem to realize we need Schumer right now. We need his savvy, shrewdness and experience if we’re going to get through this shit show.
Too many are into theater and glitz and not enough into the harsh reality of autocracy and fascism. Schumer is boring, not a good communicator, but yup - he got it. SAVED us. Will we repeat the error of the current CR and close in the Fall? I am fearful of that. Easy way out, death to democracy.
If and only if we keep gov't open. Shutdown in Fall? We hand it over to Trump who will kill the courts. We have to be WISE now on. MAGA folks are vile. Never turn your back on 'em. Never turn over gov't TO them.

Schmuck should resign.
Go @booker.senate.gov ❤️
Clooney needs to talk to Chuck about stepping down.

I also think Chuck should step down and let new leadership take the reigns.
No matter how you see it, Cory hit a grand slam. It's undeniable.
Still better than no action.

Let’s all make this a “yes and” moment and stop using every victory as an excuse for more of the complaining and blaming that brought us this crisis.

@booker.senate.gov after he has had a few meals and nap!
Congratulations Senator Booker!
The senate is broken use jungle rules. Brooklyn taught me to fight
