Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

What the actual fuck?!

I’m so angry. I will be angry about this for YEARS.

Every month when I pay my insane ACA premium for my shitty insurance that I may end up having to abandon altogether, I will remember how Senate Dems sold all of us down the fucking river FOR NOTHING.

SCHUMER MUST GO. PRIMARY ALL SENATE DEMS.

Jeffries is whipping NO votes in the House on the shutdown deal. From Jake Sherman at Punchbowl:

Community volunteers set out to track potential
ICE activity and alert residents to possible raids in Los Angeles.
The patrols reflect growing tensions between immigration enforcement and neighbourhoods determined to protect their own.

SEATTLE: If you know someone who lives in Seattle and guess they probably voted for Katie Wilson for Mayor, your contribution to this fight is to text them this information about making sure they voted with their signature on the envelope! TEXT them NOW.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.

They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.

Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

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.

People’s LIVES!

FFS I’m just so mad.

Fight don’t fold.

This looks awfully intentional.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Reminder folks that the CR still has to pass the House AND IT SHOULD DIE THERE.

Make sure your rep is on board to vote NO.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

This is a bad deal for Americans.

Voters turned out in record numbers last wk to elect Democrats believing they would fight for working families.

We urge Senate Dems to vote NO on the reported GOP budget package, which fails to address the devastating health care crisis.

If their goal is to pin the blame on a handful of senators who aren't up for reelection until 2030 then you should primary every Democrat regardless.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I’m going to bed. My bullshit meter has reached its tolerance limit for today.

Fuck Chuck.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

Healthcare is a basic human right.

Food is basic human right.

Education, housing, clean air & water are human rights.

Using healthcare and food as leverage should be grounds for removal from office.

SNAP, Medicaid and the ACA are worth fighting for.

People will die without them.

FEDWATCH: “.. The chaos is escalating, with 3,800 flight cancellations since Thursday, and some states reporting a 40- to 60% increase in visits to food banks. Some of the disruption is evident in private sector weekly economic indicators .. and even the price of electricity.”

To tip the balance of power in the NYS Assembly from neoliberal Center to progressive Left, we must win ~7 more primaries.

IMO, our best pick-up opportunity within NYC this cycle lies in AD-54, where @cct4nyc.bsky.social is running to replace Dilan.

Just despicable.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

BREAKING: John Thune just rejected a one-year extension of health care tax credits — confirming what we already knew. Republicans have zero interest in helping Americans facing soaring premiums.

More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS In a new podcast Sam Altman says: " When something gets sufficiently huge ... the federal government is kind of the insurer of last resort, as we've seen in various financial crises ... given the magnitude of what I expect AI's economic impact to look like, I do think the government ends up as the insurer of last resort."

"I'm making billions, and, if it fails, taxpayers will bail me out"

They know what’s in the Epstein files.

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."
