Schumer wants us to believe Senate Dems are powerless while literally providing the votes to ensure the GOP agenda goes forward.
If a shutdown was better for Trump, the House GOP wouldn't have passed this CR and the Senate GOP wouldn't vote for it.
Schumer knows that; he's outright lying to us.

Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.

And our fellow media people need to stop pretending Trump won a "landslide." 1.7 percent is NOT a landslide. Nor is it a mandate.
This is not a mandate, sure he won the popular vote but it’s not a mandate.
