I say he caved to big money and corporate interests ages ago. DNC needs to change leadership, public won't vote in the old guard who are too set in their redundant ways.

Maybe, but critically Schumer on Chris Hayes misrepresented the FACTUAL TRUTH. It wasn’t an either/or with the CR.

The filibuster isn’t ‘emergency government’ … it is an extended debate, perhaps on TV, perhaps all night. Why not filibuster?

We need to get on air interviews of every single republican senator answering questions about exactly what they agree with as to what’s happening.

And Joe Rogan… ALL THOUGHT INFLUENCERS need to be interviewed on camera.

Jim Acosta, do you have sway?

Bloody Bill Maher, how about you… mister if you’re anti-civilian-slaughter that means you support Hamas. Reasoning I’m sure you didn’t learn in uni.(!!)

This holds, in your mind, especially if you’re on a university campus? Then you’re young and stupid, right?

Are you college educated Mr M?

Exactly. Take the time to debate and state on the record what the CR does or permits. If there's a shutdown for 24 or 48 hours, so what? Schumer could also have gone on record as to what a shutdown would make irreversible and to be avoided. I hate the disrespect for our intelligence.

Chuck Schumer is exactly part of the problem and not the solution. This country need people with backbone and integrity to stand up to the Corporations and Oligarchs not lifetime Congressmen who have got us to where we are.

Start by a general strike and stop paying taxes as we don't have any representation.

Wait times in offices are already hours long. More staff is needed, not less.

From the Seattle times about a man that Social Security declared dead

It was like a Depression-era scene, he said, with a queue 50-deep jockeying for the attentions of two tellers. The employees were kind but beleagued.

“They are so understaffed down there,” he said. “They think the office is about to be closed down, and they don’t know where they’re going to go. It feels like the agency’s being gutted.”

After waiting for four hours, Johnson admits he jumped the line: “I saw an opening and I kind of rushed up and told them I was listed as dead.

The corrupt Schumer followed the orders of his benefactors! And in doing so, undermined the party and more seriously supported Trump! He needs to be forced to retire. He is beyond corrupt!!!

What we need is to have a pathway to the resistance instead of wearing out our energies and perspectives.

Hey Fiorentini, You Gen X'er, you. So, Its just The Boomers that gotta go?

50% of Dems who voted for the CR were not Boomers.

The time is coming fast when you will hear the cry GET RID OF the X-ers!

Its all GEN X's fault.

And you will say, Wait a minute... not All of us...

Dick Durbin - Silent Gen

Angus King - Silent Gen

Catherine Cortez Masto - Boomer

Gary Peters - Boomer

Chuck Schumer - Boomer

Maggie Hassan - Boomer

Jeanne Shaheen - Boomer

John Fetterman - Gen X

Kirsten Gillibrand - Gen X

Brian Schatz - Gen X

🤦‍♂️Nick Sodano, Boomer

Trump probably gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.

yes, they are as corrupt as we (governments) are but that doesn't mean they and we (people) shouldn't care! Was Trump projecting when he talks about WWIII?

100% look at Schumer’s largest donors and that guides our answer to why he enabled authoritarianism. Securities & Investments (Blackstone, Nextera Energy, etc), Lawyers/Law Firms, Real Estate. All will benefit from privitizing everything, destroying unions, & increasing the prison industrial complex through disappearing dissidents.

Stop criticizing Shumer for his age! I don't want Bernie or Liz Warren forced out when they are still doing great stuff. Shumer needs to go independent of his age.

He needs to go. Call your senators.

The part about the Jubilee show, reminded me of a quote by Bertrand Russell – "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt."

Due process is supposed to provide a process by which we deport those who are deportable and do not disrupt the lives of those who are not deportable. And once you bypass due process here the next step is Duterte-style, kill 'em all and we'll sort 'em out later.
