I’ve spent the past few hours really thinking about the events of the last 24 hours, trying to process what Chuck Schumer just did, and the more I reflect on it, the angrier I get.
Age should not be a disqualification. Several of those providing leadership right now aren't exactly young -- Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Raskin come to mind, and so does Bernie Sanders although he's not a Democrat.
“We need Hope, and you ain’t it”… hell, yeah, brother! Your commentary is spot on. I don’t care if you’ve done one million good things. If you fold in complicity at the moment of need… go home, hang your head, and don’t show your face around here anymore. We’re done with you, Schumer. SNL said it best: Buh bye now! Buh, bye! 👋🏽 👋🏽 idgaf if the door hits you on the way out. Ya done.
I wrote yesterday to Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks as their constituent to say they need to have a new election for Minority leader. Schumer is wrong for that job. He proved it without a doubt yesterday
I COULD call my Democratic Senator and tell him to support Schumer stepping down but it's Fetterman! He voted yes with Shumer. He also needs to step down. We voted for him, not Man chin or Sinema.
I would like to know what kind of deal he made with Trump. Evil bully Trump just mocked Schumer a few days ago and still Schumer caves in. It is time for new leadership. I have been saying for a long time that the Dems are weak and do not fight enough. There are a group who do fight back, challenge and are not afraid to do so against Trump and the GOP but sadly not enough. Why the hell are they so afraid of this mentally unstable old man!!!!! I would never allow anyone like Trump to get away with threatening me and the Dems shouldn't either! Schumer is from the old school and playing nice with this horrible regime doesn't work. We must be strong and bold and fight for this country and its people. I am truly tired of the weakness of many politicians in both parties. Living in fear is already living in a dictatorship.
Schumer has surrendered to the Musk Party. He should step down as leader and either resign his seat, or change Party affiliation. How does he justify this? He says that a shutdown would be worse. That is a fantasy - they are emptying all of the federal agencies and departments- you know, shutting them down. This way they have his approval. Also the Congress is taking a ridiculous vacation for ST. PATRICK'S DAY!? That is a full shutdown
Last night - 7 more agencies including Institute of Libraries and Museum Services. I worked with them at Department of Education when they were IMS in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
I really believe Schumer put self-interest ahead of everything else, under cover of a really dumb point of view about this decision. He was kind of martyring himself, self-righteous about going against what everyone was screaming for, like he was saving us from ourselves, but I really don't think he was concerned in the end. Lazy, greedy, yeah.
I'm with you Harry. They are constantly letting us down. Why? We need new leadership. And a re name of the party. They are both dead and over. Revive and a total redo on America. How can that happen.
I agree! I wrote him yesterday and told him I am ashamed of him and I think he should resign.
I wrote him too.
Wow! I need to do that, too!
I wrote to him before the vote and told him not to vote for the motion. He obviously disregarded what I said.
How do you write to him please?
type "Senator Schumer" into your browser. Go to his website and look for "contact".
It's time for new younger fresh leadership. PERIOD
Age should not be a disqualification. Several of those providing leadership right now aren't exactly young -- Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Raskin come to mind, and so does Bernie Sanders although he's not a Democrat.
It’s not an age thing. He’s spineless and weak. Not in step with the moment!
As long as the new leaders have good ideas, good strategies and good values!!
Well, at least below the ages of octogenarian’s in congress now. Please !
Thanks for saying what I feel!!!!
So. . . let Schumer know he f*d up! I'm disgusted by his craven behavior.
I let him KNOW BEFORE the vote.......now he doesn't care...it is too late!!
Me too. Clearly my letter and my voice mail had a huge impact on him.
I wrote my two California senators and told them to get rid of Schumer as their senate leader.
Yes he needs to go he is getting on my nerves.
maybe he can join Mitch McConnells going away party and he can leave too
Mark, I also wrote to Schiff and Padilla telling them Schumer needs to go. And this was BEFORE agreeing to the Republicans CR.
Yup. I wrote him after his last massive support for more weapons for Israel.
Thank you. This particular issue is high on my priority list, and the Dems have been *almost* as bad as the Republicans.
I wrote to DNC and told them no more money until Schumer is gone
BTW, where the heck is the DNC?
How about asking the DNC to go too ?
Great idea.
And that Shiff should take the Leadership mantle!
Shiff isn't the one. He's our amazing defense. Why put him where he won't shine

Agree with you 💯💯💯 Schumer needs to go.
Schumer needs to GO HOME! It’s time for him to retire. GO HOME CHUCK!
Well said ! He failed us miserably.

I CAN'T BE STAND TURNCOATS LIKE SINEMA, MANCHIN, FETTERMAN
Talk about a betrayal!
He's the new Sinema/Manchin.
I understand the point of people saying he had to do this...I think it was the wrong approach though.
I would have preferred this approach which offers a clean 4 week CR

It only took TEN cowardly Dems to sabotage the entire party. THEY need to be primaried......THEY need to GO........
Everyone that thinks trump won in 2020 needs to go, but no one made a move to make that happen. Biden didn’t take my calls.
Dump was very quick to praise and thank Schumer for his vote, so I agree that some kind of “deal” was cut.
He is going on a book tour. He doesn’t give a fk about us
Don’t buy it.
Of course not!
Yes - how do we make this happen?
Primary him!
Apparently AOC is thinking of doing that.
AOC has my vote!

Thank you for addressing this act of negligence. He should retire now. We cannot count on him to lead!
Agree … I thought we were Not Going to assist the Republicans!!
