Schumer wanted to keep fighting for political reasons. Shaheen and crew wanted the deal because the shutdown had become pointless as there was no ACA deal to be had with Republicans. In my book they were both right. Schumer for wanting the fight and Shaheen for sticking to reality.

Stronger?

He’s shaking in his boots over the Epstein files release.

He’s gonna pardon Maxwell just to cover it up.

You mean don’t trust 8 people in the Dem party.

Can’t burn it all down. Gotta change it from within.

There are valid criticisms of Schumer but these were rogue senators that voted for the CR.

@jollygoodginger.bsky.social said Schumer wasn’t involved.

Change it to an elephant and you got a good cartoon.

Republicans stripped the ACA subsidies in the BBB.

You shitting me?

The Republicans are bought and paid for by broligarchs.

Must have really built up in his system.

It’s the only thing to do.

Jeffries has been consistent saying he opposes this CR and he is in leadership.

You are purposefully trying to tar a whole party, instead of focusing on the defectors.

There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.

Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.

Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.

Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.
