Yeah that Disney collab with OpenAI's gonna go great!/s

Musk paid an effective tax rate of 3.3%. Bezos paid 1%. How? Taking out tax-free loans against their stock. I'm introducing the ROBINHOOD Act to tax these loans and generate $276B for universal childcare and programs to restore access to the American Dream. Billionaires must pay their fair share.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

i mean it's not like disney has a vast library of short-form animated content, spanning several entire decades in the mid-20th century, only a fraction of which is currently on disney+ or anything

Left vs right. Progressive vs Moderate. The labels are bullshit. All that matters is this: Are you gonna fight for the people when it matters, or are you gonna cave?

Democrats are so amateurish and naive to act on a promise of behavior in the future by people who shamelessly lie about their behavior in the past every single day.

“After a year spent organizing to try to convince the Democratic Party to unify and oppose this regime, here’s where I am: The time for convincing is over. We need new leadership.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Demand that your Dem senators call on Schumer to step aside: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Chiuck Schumer: attempted a strategic play, which failed miserably OR couldn’t unify democratic senators for one of the most consequential votes of our time. Either scenario warrants Chuck Schumer’s replacement as Senate minority leader.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings." They did their part. The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday. They did their part. 8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night. They did not do their part.

There are two choices here. Schumer is such a feckless leader that he lost eight votes on an absolutely critical bill. Or Schumer gave them tacit permission, which is why the Minority Whip is among the eight and none of them are up for reelection next year.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

We have to assume that every Senate Democrat who's not publicly calling for Schumer's ouster signed off on what happened Sunday.

You didn't get a vote. You got a "promise" of a vote. From a party who is disappearing nannies & gardeners and zip-tying children. A party who has flushed Due Process in America down the toilet. Who has subjugated its Congressional duties to an autocrat. That's what everybody sees, Tim.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado. One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Beware of incorrect memes attacking some Senators who voted NO, including Gary Peters (MI) & Brian Schatz (HI). They often exclude Tim Kaine (VA) who did vote YES. These are the 8 people who voted YES. No Vote Schumer is to blame, too, for allowing it. Let's spank or thank the correct Senators!

We had all the momentum •The American people were blaming Republicans •A landslide Democratic victory •Courts ordering Trump to fund SNAP benefits Yet you couldn't convince your caucus to fight for us It's the final straw that breaks the back of your tenure as leader, Senator Time to step down

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Word of the day: PRIMARY

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, “we won’t forget.” So I don’t know man.

The Turncoat 8 aren't the only culpable parties here. Chuck and all those who hid behind them are part of a conspiracy to cave. Every senator needs to stand up and loudly condemn this deal; if you don't. you should be primaried. Stand up and be counted.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

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.

Nobody in American politics hates their own voters more than the Democratic Party

Dems are going to get Mamdani’d can’t wait for the midterms

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

If Schumer thinks a no vote will absolve him of responsibility, he’s dead wrong. He’s the minority leader. It‘s his job to keep Senate Dems in line — or to hand over the job to someone who can.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not. This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Whichever high profile Dem announces a primary challenge to Schumer first has the advantage.

This is how Dems reward their voters LESS THAN A WEEK after a totally dominant electoral sweep. I know I shouldn't be shocked anymore, but this is genuinely unbelievable. Pathetic, selfish, stupid little piggies.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

@schumer.senate.gov every single Senate primary challenger is getting a campaign donation from me and volunteer work if it's feasible for the foreseeable future. Absolutely disgusted with this display of fecklessness and cowardice from Senate Dems. Voters will remember this next year.

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read. Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work. He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

This is a morally repugnant betrayal of House Democrats, of Democratic activists, and of Democratic state electeds who have been fighting this out in the court of public opinion. We trusted Senate Dems to negotiate. They fucked us. Just fucking enraging.

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

A future vote on the ACA tax credits is not enough. The American people about to lose their health care need results, not votes.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
