Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called the Schumer cave to Trump a slap in the face and a betrayal, and she warned that House Democrats won't forget what Schumer has done.
AOC is not alone. None of us will forget what Schumer is doing. He is showing what I and my friends in Indivisible believe: that he is displaying "learned helplessness," and a lack of necessary courage. He is 78 years old and frozen in time. He needs to go!
Love it!! I am also 78 and am glad to tell them off. The orange creep can't grow a new pair so time for special undies. Well padded with built in deodorant. #notsosecret #nottootightywhities
Exactly. I don't think he's malevolent and even he was miffed by this DOGE stuff, but he's too much of a relic of a bygone era when Democrats were super wishy washy, centrist, and fetishized bipartisanship to a fault. The age of "Dems Playing Nice" is over! Time to get tough!
It's not to late to call him and demand he not turn yellow for the orange one.
It’s too late now to change the outcome, but I called every single one of the senators who voted yes, and told them they are traitors. Sent Schumer an email as well as leaving a voicemail. Couldn’t get through on the congressional switchboard numbers so I looked up each senators offices in their state and called each one until I was able to get through.
I called.. not sure it does any good though. I am totally fed-up, disillusioned, disheartened, frustrated! Why so much concern about people being angered by a potential government shut down?? Where’s the concern about losing our GOVERNMENT? Where is the logic??
Schumer and Donald Trump goes way back. Donald at one point contributed to Schumer’s election. I have always felt Schumer was involved in helping Melania Trump obtaining the EB-1 visa. AKA Einstein Visa, which is reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim, people who are highly acclaimed in their field. For example: Pulitzer prize winners, Oscar, respected academic, researchers, and Olympic winners. Personally I do not feel dating Donald Trump or the type of modeling she was doing at the time would be considered,
Holy shit! "reserved for immigrants with extraordinary ability" in no way applies to Melanoma! She is the most embarrassing, grifting first lady in my lifetime, and I am 85 years old.
Also she is a high school drop out and was never even a top notch model! Nothing to offer other than nude photos and after over 30 years she still doesn’t speak descent English so she certainly isnt bright enough to be necessary!
You can say I am snarky, but she had extra-ordinary abilities. However, not the kind debated when the EB-1 was created. Putin with his recent photo release revealed some of her talents!
Unfortunately, you really are a foul mouth, pathetic, insignificant, creature whose desperately seeking some place to feel relevant. You would be well advised to start with cleaning🚰 up your language. A little advice you should consider.
Oh, Pete. Clean up your language. You sound like one of those poor, downtrodden, discriminated against white boys/ you know the ones the whole world is against. How sad 😢
I agree with you about the age thing. Not a good reason to denounce someone. But I am tired of Democratic leaders not standing up and taking a risk for their principles. It is going to get tough. But, Trump and Musk are attacking Medicare, Medicaid, trans people, immigrants, our neighbors, our allies We need to stand up to this and let them know no way, not now, not ever. .
Why do you think un civil discourse is effective? You can disagree with others without being rude. And today’s activity by Trump is proving that loading. Yes on the CR is only encouraging him to do more slashing and burning.
That is Schumer's excuse for his lack of testicular fortitude per his statement, and no, it becomes apparent to almost everyone that the government is out of money when the government is shut down.
And who are you? Are you doing anything to defend our democracy, or are you just a keyboard jockey you claim to abhor? I’m an eighty-year-old disabled person, who is unable to get out there and has no other choice but to encourage and cheer on those who put their money where their mouth is.
I don't call him a traitor, I think these people who have been in government so long, they simply can't see what's going on. They believe as I do that democracy will stand, but unlike me, I want it to stand right now, not down the road 30 years. Biden was like this, he simply could not see Trump for the threat he poses. Garland, the same way. These people are wealthy, safe, they aren't being attacked. We need people in power who remember what it feels like to have a hammer hanging over you. To know your government is not your friend but your enemy.
I agree, I really don’t think they recognize the immediacy of the threat, somehow they are so sure that there will be an election in 2026 and that politics will go on and they will turn the house back to the Dems. Just the fact that they are banking on a fair election in two years shows how disconnected they are from reality. See link.Between 35 and 40% of project 2025 has been completed and there’s a 180 day deconstruction Goal. Giving MAGA free license to do irreversible damage for six months is unconscionable— every day is another nail being driven into the coffin of the Constitutional republic, our rights, and the checks and balance system!! https://youtu.be/cdg5YFwNayQ?feature=shared
She knows how to represent the people who voted for her. The ones that do as the people want need to form their own party. Only donate$$$ to the one’s individually. Do NOT DONATE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! Only DONATE TO THE INDIVIDUAL DEMOCRATS.
I called his office and left a message that he is weak and pathetic and that I’m stopping all donations to Democrats if he votes yes. Done playing. This is war!
Schumer and Hildebrand are NY senators. My senators!! Voting yes for the CR will not be forgotten by NYers. They will be driven out.
Vote no on the CR or abstain or get out of the way. Trump and republicans cannot be bi-partisan. They want to destroy any and all democratic ideology. Vote yes, and the entire congress will be out of jobs.
He tried to explain it last night how it would be worse to have a shut down, Trump control during a shutdown versus passing what they got. How it would be so much worse. And even though I can understand his logic I cannot accept it I am totally pissed.
I hear you. My problem with him is this. On Monday he said he couldn't support the bill written by the GOP because of the damage it would do to the country and he was looking for a 30 day CR. He could have also indicated that he would look at other options and talk with the house member. The Democratic needs a spoke person to deliver their messages because Schumer is very bad at delivering their message.
As an elected American🇺🇸lawmaker, Schumer loyalty, in no uncertain terms, should be with the country he took an oath to represent and protect. Donald in my opinion, has serious dirt on Schumer. Something is not right. Why suddenly would Chuck Schumer, made 180 degree turn in his decision on Friday. It showed in his plastic smile
While falsely explaining why his vote would suddenly be in support of the elected bullying Orange Donald spending bill. Schumer is supposedly the Senate Minority Leader? Not anymore in my opinion. He should be voted out. He is now useless coward.
AOC is exactly right! If Schumer can’t fight against the authoritarian takeover, then he needs to go as soon as possible get him out of leadership. Have someone like AOC be the voice of the Democratic party?
I never considered myself a Progressive. But now the only people I see speaking for the people are the Progressives. Count me in. You see, I love the USA.
I’ve always sided with Shumer but after this I have no faith in his judgement. Actually most democrats have caved to the convicted felon. He’s probably afraid the narcissistic sociopath is going to call him more names and his feelings are hurt. They are all afraid of that idiot. For the life of me I cannot understand why!
AOC is not alone. None of us will forget what Schumer is doing. He is showing what I and my friends in Indivisible believe: that he is displaying "learned helplessness," and a lack of necessary courage. He is 78 years old and frozen in time. He needs to go!
I'm 81 and I agree. Time for dem leadership without shriveled up testicles!
You are a welcome breath of fresh, unshriveled air!
Love it!! I am also 78 and am glad to tell them off. The orange creep can't grow a new pair so time for special undies. Well padded with built in deodorant. #notsosecret #nottootightywhities

#cheaperbythedozendaily
I am also 78(this week) and I am against Schumer and other Dems who rolled over and gave this CR to Musk and Dump!!
🤣
Exactly. I don't think he's malevolent and even he was miffed by this DOGE stuff, but he's too much of a relic of a bygone era when Democrats were super wishy washy, centrist, and fetishized bipartisanship to a fault. The age of "Dems Playing Nice" is over! Time to get tough!
It's not to late to call him and demand he not turn yellow for the orange one.
Yeah about that. His senate voicemail hung up on me, only after several attempts to get through to it. It felt intentional.
Well, here's another way to contact the guy. Post your message under the "Budget" heading... https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck
Thanks, my subject line was GROW A PAIR
Did it. Thanks for the link.
You're welcome.
I did earlier this morning. Do we have a list of other potential defectors that we can call/email/message?
It’s too late now to change the outcome, but I called every single one of the senators who voted yes, and told them they are traitors. Sent Schumer an email as well as leaving a voicemail. Couldn’t get through on the congressional switchboard numbers so I looked up each senators offices in their state and called each one until I was able to get through.
Did it. Thanks.
I’m from Michigan, but I emailed Schumer anyway. He needs to hear this from people out of State too!
I’m from NC. They sure don’t have a problem asking me for money for out of state candidates. They can listen, too.
I got hung-up on as well
You can never reach the top people in the Democratic party.
But the know when the phone is ringing off the wall and when their emails are full. Don’t get discouraged.
I called.. not sure it does any good though. I am totally fed-up, disillusioned, disheartened, frustrated! Why so much concern about people being angered by a potential government shut down?? Where’s the concern about losing our GOVERNMENT? Where is the logic??
Exactly! If his logic was so solid, why wasn’t he able to convince all the other damn senators who voted no?
Perfectly said: RELIC!

extraordinary abilities
Holy shit! "reserved for immigrants with extraordinary ability" in no way applies to Melanoma! She is the most embarrassing, grifting first lady in my lifetime, and I am 85 years old.
Also she is a high school drop out and was never even a top notch model! Nothing to offer other than nude photos and after over 30 years she still doesn’t speak descent English so she certainly isnt bright enough to be necessary!
I think she is a Russian asset, paired with Trump to keep an eye on him.
Possibly.🤬
You can say I am snarky, but she had extra-ordinary abilities. However, not the kind debated when the EB-1 was created. Putin with his recent photo release revealed some of her talents!
Your right!!! We have plenty of POLE DANCERS all ready and her skank ass isn't any better.
Well said 👏🏻🌹
I got thru 😤 and I let him now in a very polite way...I was pissed.
Photo
He will complain he wax between a rock and a hard place and whine.
You are frozen in time with Schumer! What are you doing on this progressive site?🥸
Really, Pete? You kiss your mother with that mouth?
Unfortunately, you really are a foul mouth, pathetic, insignificant, creature whose desperately seeking some place to feel relevant. You would be well advised to start with cleaning🚰 up your language. A little advice you should consider.
Oh, Pete. Clean up your language. You sound like one of those poor, downtrodden, discriminated against white boys/ you know the ones the whole world is against. How sad 😢

I disagree about age being the issue. It’s a mindset and it can be found in people of all ages.
Go hold his bags when he gets voted out. Trump needs to be stood up to and held responsible.
Why do you think un civil discourse is effective? You can disagree with others without being rude. And today’s activity by Trump is proving that loading. Yes on the CR is only encouraging him to do more slashing and burning.
That is Schumer's excuse for his lack of testicular fortitude per his statement, and no, it becomes apparent to almost everyone that the government is out of money when the government is shut down.
Glad to see AOC doing what needs to be done, as always: standing up for her constituents and the people of the U.S. to the cowards in Congress.
Right on!
And who are you? Are you doing anything to defend our democracy, or are you just a keyboard jockey you claim to abhor? I’m an eighty-year-old disabled person, who is unable to get out there and has no other choice but to encourage and cheer on those who put their money where their mouth is.
brave words keyboard warrior
i am 6’5 285lbs
dm me where and when amd call me a coward to my face
brave sir robin bravely ran away
“You people”? So, who are you? Not one of us, apparently. You sound kind of sad.
Are you able to be pisitive about anything af aĺl? Or are you conten̈t to let the bile flow on all around you?
Schumer is a traitor to the Democratic party. Vote NO on the CR!
He's a traitor to the USA.

I’m with AOC!
I'm on Social security he better not back down. I would rather suffer for a short time instead of the rest of my life.
I called his office and left a message that he is weak and pathetic and that I’m stopping all donations to Democrats if he votes yes. Done playing. This is war!

Open your eyes to fascism!
Chuck ought to explain the reasoning for this. He needs to be communicating with the country. Daily press conferences.
He tried to explain it last night how it would be worse to have a shut down, Trump control during a shutdown versus passing what they got. How it would be so much worse. And even though I can understand his logic I cannot accept it I am totally pissed.

Does Israel have anything to do with his vote-Israel needs Trump.

We need a new DEM leader in the Senate. I can think of several who would be strong leaders.
Donald has dirt on him.
POS and Skum WANT a shutdown. Why give them what they want? See my long argument above.
I have no respect for Schumer, he is not the person he is trying desperately to convince
Deja vu all over again.
AOC is exactly right! If Schumer can’t fight against the authoritarian takeover, then he needs to go as soon as possible get him out of leadership. Have someone like AOC be the voice of the Democratic party?
Schumer and the 12 dem senators planning to vote yes on the CR need to tell us WHY!?!?
We need to STAND FIRM against giving Trump any kind of “win.” Especially when it is not a win for this country.
I never considered myself a Progressive. But now the only people I see speaking for the people are the Progressives. Count me in. You see, I love the USA.
Americans WILL NOT allow the Democrats who caved to this administration to retain their position! We are watching and you will be defeated!! 🤬
I’ve always sided with Shumer but after this I have no faith in his judgement. Actually most democrats have caved to the convicted felon. He’s probably afraid the narcissistic sociopath is going to call him more names and his feelings are hurt. They are all afraid of that idiot. For the life of me I cannot understand why!
Shame on Chuck - but not really surprised at his stance.
I agree with Aoc
