Chuck Schumer you are currently being obliterated by "Fox Trot"

We are the hornetlings please feed us

I don't think enough people realize that for many folks on disability they cannot risk having over a VERY low cap of money/property or they will lose their benefits nearly immediately It often prevents folks from marrying as well it's ludicrous

chuck schumer cannot be replaced as party leadership quickly enough

i think chuck schumer should be tried for crimes against humanity and im not kidding

at this point, I kinda don’t know what else the Dems could do to tell anyone to the left of Biden to fuck off any harder than they already have and yet you still clamor to reform these people who hate your fucking guts and would be happy if you died

Either he can’t keep them in line or he orchestrated and approved this. The result is the same: he has to go. He should’ve been gone months ago.

Like I know the answer is "they felt pressured enough to pretend to do something but didn't ever actually want to do anything" but the sheer disrespect and lack of regard for people affected is galling. Worse than useless

And further, the Senate Dems now own the shutdown. They essentially take responsibility for it and away from the GOP. They gave everything and got nothing and we all get kicked in the teeth.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

It's that time of year when the biggest city in the country tells residents with limited mobility to just stay home for six months.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I read a thread about games with terrible UI earlier and this video has been destroying me all day.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

There is a bare minimum amount of caring for the vulnerable that a society must meet for me to view it with anything other than contempt and disgust And the US has never come within a hundred miles of hitting that minimum. We only ever get worse. We're truly a worthless culture here

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

We can't give up now. ❄️

Honestly primary every Dem senator then? None of them deserve this power.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

You can say I lost our “leverage.” You can say I have no “morals.” But what you can’t say is “Schumer sells sea shells by the sea shore.” It’s too hard. And it’s simply not true.

the senate was a mistake

it's gonna be kinda funny when the speaker still refuses to convene the house after this so the dems can't even forfeit

Thinking of this quote from Mamdani’s victory speech.

Until the sun burns out

I am not personally willing to pull the lever in the trolley problem but I didn't sign up to be one of the 535 trolley problem lever pullers.

And this less than a week after our huge victories on Tuesday! Why do we fold when we finally have a few aces??

Not even 1 yr of subsidies. It’s for a promise of a vote next month on subsidies for one year. So GOP can still vote down even the 1 year. Cowards. Shaheen, Hassan, King, Fetterman, Kaine. It only funds govt thru Jan 30th. Then what? Dems have lost ALL leverage, ALL credibility. Despicable group!

It's amazing how the day they caved is also the day Trump got booed and they *dominated* the election.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Fucking done with bitches over 70 ruining every fucking thing that has even made life slightly sustainable the past twenty years

Delayed air travel is probably the only element of the government shutdown that actually inconvenienced dems in Congress, unsurprising that they folded basically immediately

It's pretty clear that the Schumer plan was to keep the caucus together until after the elections so the base would be motivated and then cave. The elections weren't a signal to Senate Dems; it was a deadline to get past. And a betrayal of every Dem voter on Tuesday...

#firechuck we need 23 senate dems to vote for a new leader

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

This.

The timing couldn't be more unfortunately apt.

at this point, they have it if every republican votes yes. primary everyone.

In case you need this reminder, which I did too, as I do most days: fanfiction IS self-indulgent. It’s okay to write something self-indulgent. It doesn’t have to be. It’s also art. But it’s okay too if the words you’re writing are first and foremost the ones you need or want to hear right now.

If you ever feel like you are not good enough at your job, just remember: you are better than Chuck Schumer at his.

Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment, fascist collaborators. 👍 Republicans are actual evil, but this will never improve until people stop acting surprised every time they do this and start recognizing that Democrats aren't your friends.

Democrats like "Oh shit, we're winning!" *Surrender*
