“The old rules don't apply. Trump is likely to be emboldened by winning the acquiescence of eight Democrats. His illegality is likely to grow. We're going to have even tougher, more important fights ahead of us on ACA & his illegal war-making.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

A snap poll shows that David Rothkopf speaks for 80% of all Democrats, including me. This humiliating about-face was clearly not just an action taken by eight isolated Senators. One of those Senators, Durbin, is the number two member of the party in that chamber of our legislature.
Why These Vichy Dems and Their Spineless Boss Need to Go Now
We need courage and clarity from our leaders. Schumer and these eight in the Senate have shown they have failed that test. Time to turn the page.

The Senate might fold, but I sure as hell won’t.

Families are getting crushed by rising costs & as these healthcare tax credits expire, it’s only going to get worse.

And now the Senate wants us to “trust” them to fix it later with a debate on a bill, maybe?

I’m a F-NO!

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
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

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

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.

I've said it before, and I will say it again.

We need courageous leaders that put working families at the center of all they do.

8 democrats caving to empty promises is an indefensible leadership failure

For the sake of our country, Schumer needs to resign.

Anything short of calling for Schumer to be replaced is performative outrage designed to mollify you

Because they wanted our votes. They held out for us to vote on Tuesday. Schumer kept telling Kaine to vote No until he told him to
vote Yes. It was entirely calculated. Schumer used us. townhall.com/tipsheet/amy...

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

This is exactly correct.
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.
