Schumer stepped Dems away from the edge of a shutdown — saying repercussions of closing the federal government would be worse than passing the House GOP funding bill loathed by many in his party.

Schumer's a fucking moron, complicit in the destruction of American democracy. He must go. Period.
No voicemail available to leave a message on his phone. We sent a PDF via email to his Chief of Staff. We'd encourage others to do the same. Yes, we're all angry. But, please be respectful (but firm). We need him to reconsider, and not dig in.
He’s a chicken shit!!! Shut it down.
Chucky needs to wake the fuck up.
@schumer.senate.gov you’re a disgrace. Trump and Musk are gonna do what they want anyway. They’re already dismantling the government. So, you’re giving them more money to play with. Smart. You can all go fuck yourselves. Cc: @dscc.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com
Fuck Schumer. He needs to GTFO. 😡
@schumer.senate.gov come on we have to Fight, vote No! I am a resident of NYS and demand you vote No. you are a coward if you vote any other way.
He is a coward
OMG will someone please stand up to them!Dems need to wake up! Let there be a shutdown cause most of the people you want to protect are probably going to be fired at the end of the month anyway.Stop letting them abuse the system and trying to use obscure laws from the 17-1800s to justify his agenda
Ah... Hell no it wouldn't. Schumer just helped the GOP go further in destroying what's left of our democracy. Schumer's actions are beyond shameful...
Well, that will show the MAGAites how weak and docile the Democratic Party is. I imagine they are beside themselves with glee. Or worse.
Shut it down. They hold the power. If they can’t keep the govt open it’s on them
#chuckChuck, time for him to go. If you don't stand for something, you don't stand for anything.
Spineless bastards.... Don't give in.
@schumer.senate.gov is wrong! The bill is way worse!!!
Noooooo ! Coward .
Capitulation is complicity. As usual the Ds manage to F it up. Schumer and Jeffries must go. They’re worthless in crisis. Schumer’s pressers are cringey. Any D who votes like this is all normal politics when it is so obviously a five alarm fire burning democracy down must go. Really, just F off.
How else are going to get control of this mess?
I disagree. Blame it all on Republicans.
What a coward. We must do better as a Party or we're not one. Schumer has no clue how enraged the American people are.
He needs to retire
I’m shocked. Did he even push for a clean CR? Still have a whole day and he caves? Makes me sick!
Tough call shutting it down. Republicans would be happy because it makes it easier to keep gutting the government without any employees around. On the other hand, it makes the Democrats look weak. My guess is that if the Democrats voted to shut it down, the Republicans would just keep it shut down.
Weak broken man, what are people like this in charge for?
@Schumer.Senate.Gov No! You are not shutting down the government … Emperor Musk his president and their minions the Republican House are. This is the only Congressional stopgap against Imperial rule. Do your job! Use this leverage to force DOGE and Trump to follow the law!
IDIOT!
He is absolutely wrong on this on so many levels.
F-in Schumer. They made their bed. Let them deal with it. Don't rubber stamp their agenda, you nitwit.
AIPAC called.
@schumer.senate.gov should step away from being a "leader" 😡
Schumer needs to go. Detached.
Get a spine and stand up for the american people that did not vote for the man and his lap dog …. Do the right thing vote no!!!!!
Officially switched my party affiliation from democrat to independent when this news dropped. Spineless cowards.
That’s a good idea.
Then make it Bipartisan. Democrats are being rag-dolled.
He's a coward. We need someone in leadership with guts and energy, not this feckless toad. Also, stop with the "left is furious" BS, I'm a centrist dem, and I'm fucking pissed
Hell NO😡
@schumer.senate.gov The repercussions would be theirs. You can't cry foul, then vote yes and expect not to look like a hypocrite. You failed to meet the moment.
I am done!!!!! Sick of the corrupt government and all the spineless politicians!
Shutdown is worse than letting Elon shut everything down? Stupid as fuck. Resign @schumer.senate.gov Resign Resign Resign Resign
Exactly, how much worse can it get? Freaking fight!
I agree. How can shutting the sham federal government down be that bad?
Fuck!
All of them. Dems, Republicans, all of them are cowards. The PEOPLE will never forget what happened here today.
get rid of Shummer. LET THE GOP take what they get.
You’re a coward and a traitor you need to resign now
Cowards!!!!
Kick the cloture cowards out of the party.
It’s not Democrats that brought us to the edge of a shut down. It’s the Republicans and they should own a shutdown, but instead the Democrats have handed them the purse.
He is wrong. Obviously! We have just sold out everything to the Republicans.
I just wrote to him. Probably won’t do anything, but it made me feel a tiny bit better.
Caving to fascists. He needs to go
Throw away a solid act of resistance and you show the world just how weak you are. Disgusting.
https://chng.it/n4LcKFjsms
@schumer.senate.gov vote NO!
@Senator.
Bullshit
No one is buying his performance this week. He was already planning to cave. Just hand over the keys and get outta their way so the can continue to bulldoze over the country
Who will fight for us???
Fuck you.
Chuck is bought and paid for.
Time for Chuck to resign.
WHY IS THE ENTIRE WORLD ALLOWING TRUMP AND PUTIN TO LEAD AND BULLY?! STOP THEM!!! GIVE US ALL AN EFFIN BREAK?! ANYONE?!!! SHAME ON US ALL FOR ALLOWING TWO MEN TO DO THIS! LEADERS WHERE ARE YOU?’
Trump has already indicated he will spend where he wants once he gets funding. We need new blood.
Disagree 100%
He is wrong. Giving Trump a blank check is worse.
Schumer what’s wrong with you?You playing nice?Why ?Vitable path? What’s that? What’s worst?You are willing to give Trump & Elon free rein over the money, lto do as they please?Are u insane? You by doing this are going to make things so much worse?Why are u all afraid to stand up to them? Fight back
What a pussy
Chicken
Make it make sense
Schumer is such a coward. What message is this sending to Trump? He will be doubly emboldened. You cannot beg for respect, you have to earn it. That is certainly the case when dealing with orange Trump.
Loser
No
He absolutely needs to go. You are literally taking food out of the mouths of children and taking away vets benefits. Unfortunately you no longer represent the American people. Another turn coat. Sad!
@schumer.senate.gov is playing by rules and norms that are no longer relevant. Vote no on the CR. Let MAGA own the chaos. Be the loyal opposition your country desperately needs. If you can't do it, retire. #retirechuck
NO says we the people. DO NOT vote Yes on the cloture or spending bills! DO NOT COMPLY We'd rather see a full temporary shutdown than complying with the ongoing permanent destruction of our democracy!
Sent him a NO e-mail. He's everybody's Senator, due to his Leader position. Let him know he is feckless. Vote NO. We don't have many "cards" left.
What choice did he have? What choice do we have? We cannot be blamed for a shutdown, full stop.
What a disappointment
Nothing is worse than opening the door any further to the destruction of our democracy. Let's make their fax machines rumble tonight!
He will be voted out. We will all be contributing to his next opponent.
Disagree. Again we cave and help the GOP. We have little leverage and don’t even know how to use it. I’m furious. #aoc needs to challenge him. This is a disgrace #democrats #schumer
Vote no
I 100% disagree! Dems MUST take a stand and shut down the FAKE` government of Nazi's. Empowering more Trumpism is almost as dumb as Trumpski is! WTF Dems WAK`E UP AMERICA!
This is crazy. Fight for what is right. This is not the time for fear-based decisions!
@schumer.senate.gov WTAF LET THEM OWN THEIR EVIL WHY ARE YOU HELPING THEM?
Schumer is a dickhead
He is dead wrong, and is taking the Dems down with him.
It’s why Dems lost any sort of power- terrible messaging and appeasement. Remember Merrick Garland should be on the Supreme Court! @schumer.senate.gov tell us why it would be worse, because from where I’m sitting, its the only check on unbridled corruption.
No. Already off the rails. Let the GOP dumpster fire flame out
I couldn’t be more disappointed with Chuck Schumer. What does he think trump will do with the power Congress is ceding to him. He’ll go even more hog wild and pig crazy! Big mistake, Schumer.😡
Time to stop bailing out MAGA. You can’t deal with them in a traditional way anymore. They do not respect traditional norms.
Argues they'll get the keys to everything. They already are because you gutless cowards are just letting them
Enjoy the view from the cuck chair watching us all get fucked!!!!
Get fucked off a cliff Schumer!!!!!
Dems need a new Senate Minority Leader.
The Democratic leadership is simply Republican lite.
It was their last chance to show a united front. They have us rubber necking with them too. 🙄
If it were the other way around the repubs wouldn’t hesitate to hold out! And they would eventually get the dems to acquiesce to their stubbornness. The dems are weak. My faith is fading day by day.
Something to consider, a shutdown would also stop all the lawsuits against Trump that are getting ppl their jobs back.
#CuckSchumer
Here ya go crazy oligarch and demented President, the keys to democracy are all yours. We had a good run. I'd almost bet he couldn't hold together the needed no votes. We need a leader, not cheap suits that fold. In disgusted with all political Party's right now. 🤬
Read the MF room chucky! No one cares if the gov’t gets shut down- it’s already F’kd at this point. Grow some - geesh!
Schumer should shut up....let everyone vote their conscience. The CR is bad, very bad; what if DC decides to fight back on the $1B cut to their budget; what if DC protests in the streets; what if Trump decides to impose Martiall law; Or what if Democrats use the ONLY power they have right now!!
Why do we always have to decide between idiots and assholes? Why to the Dems always have to be the idiots and the GOP always the assholes?
The Dems are idiots. Schumer is an idiot- clearly he is benefiting from all of this and wants more. If this doesn’t kill the Democratic Party, it should.
Don’t get it. Why pass something they have no input on?
Schumer is a fucking idiot and the Democrats are done as a party. It’s time to fund a third party and walk away from them forever more. Schumer is an utter coward and a moron.
What govt? 50% are fired! Shut it down AND fight! My god Dems need fighters, not " no balls"Schumer and "Quiet talker" Jeffries. And we wonder why we lose? Get them out of here now!
Maybe the Progressives could form a separate party and not call themselves Democrats?
Yea we need our own Tea Party, but I think we are too late.
What about the Democratic Socialists? I'm a centrist Dem so I haven't looked at them closely but their economic agenda might appeal to the working class voter.
@schumer.senate.gov nope. Done with you.
@schumer.senate.gov is doing nothing accept let trump & Republicans to keep killing Americans. Stop being ok with domestic terriosts running the country.
@chuckschumer.com. You fucking coward. Again you're just a stubborn old out touch couch for the Republicans sit & walk all over like the children they are. You have nver fought in anyway for the people of this country. You do not represent me as a New Yorker.
@schumer.senate.gov ‘s Grandchildren will inherit the HELLSCAPE he is willing to foist on them because he is, when his Country needed him most, a fatal COWARD. @nytopinion.nytimes.com @markwarner.bsky.social @corybooker.com @amyklobuchar.com @warren.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
There is a time to be bipartisan and a time to stand your ground. This is a battle for democracy and a shut down is the right choice. No question.
@chuckschumer.com this is not true and you need to stand up against tyrants.
Do your damn job Schumer
If they participate in the passage of this bill they are complicit. It's that simple. Remember them.
No, Chuck. Not intervening is the worst possible outcome.
Democratic leadership has no spines. Technically the Government is shut down already, laid off government employees and with the spending freeze. What difference would it make to close the government now.
Don’t listen to Schumer!!
Collaborator
Schumer is a threat to our democracy. Complicit SOB.
Do not fund fascism.
Get wrecked Chuck
Bulldhit
He needs to turn in his NYer Card…he’s not even fit to say he’s from NY anymore Time to retire Chuck
How can they possibly be worse, Senator Schumer? You folded, plain and simple.🤦🏻♀️
That’s nuts, shut it down
In my opinion, it's a no-win situation for the Democrats. They don't want to be blamed for shutting down the government even though they don't agree with the bill. I'm just glad that I don't have to vote on it!!
Activism is needed to confront the fascists not voting with them. A vote for Cloture should create clear division within the Dem party to cause a split and formation of a 3rd party.
Gutless.
Schumer can fuk himself. He's just ended his pathetic career.
With a new Tesla, retirement $ from Musk and friends…
buck Schumer
Yeah, because gutting social security and Medicare is no big deal. At least not to a wealthy Schumer. He is complicit
Ah yes keeping the lights on so we all can watch it burn, thanks
@schumer.senate.gov is a weak, old man and should resign. Clearly, he is not up to the job to which he was elected. He shows us that every day. He should go now before suffering the indignity of being primaries or a vote of no confidence.
I disagree— obstruct and resist the dissolution of our rule of order
No. Democrats should step away from Schumer.
This is just like the Merrick Garland chicken, we cant go after Trump it is too dangerous. Here we go again. Now USA will 100% become a dictatorship. I give up!
Democrats just lost the 2028 elections, now voters will stay Home again.
No, no, no. Take a fricking stand!
We need dens with BALLS! We need people that are actually going to fight. I'm so sick if these people.
@schumer.senate.gov are you KIDDING?!? This is disgusting. You need to be primaried! You are the reason term limits are needed.
As spineless as the Republicans.
Worse than the Republicans.
Wtf? It concedes congressional power to the executive branch!!! That is worse than a shutdown. That's the end of democracy bc you won't get it back!! They will say in sept, you accepted in in March so you will now too!!
I am quitting the Democratic party because of this.
Schumer is a fucking wimp and douchebag
We can only afford one spineless party at a time. Wrong move, Chuck!
@schumer.senate.gov is a fucking coward.
You don't give into bullies. You fight them.
FUCK SCHUMER. Time to pass the reins to someone who is actually in the OPPOSITION party.
I'm sure his bank account didn't suddenly grow ....
Democrats- TAKE NOTE 📝 No more $$$. I am now on a payment plan based on results. Don’t expect anymore $$$. **Results driven pay is now in effect. Until further notice. A “NO” vote is the only option
He's wrong.
I understand shutting the government down will be devastating, but you are basically allowing Trump and Musk to do as they please which I believe in the end will cause much more harm. We cannot wait til 2026 to address the issue of how government is being mismanaged.
@schumer.senate.gov You fucked up, friend.
What a shitty take. Rapepublicans have the House, Sensate and Presidency. It would be a Rapepublican shut down, not a human one. Passing this fake CR to stop a shut down means Traitor Trump & President Musk will shut down parts of government at their will. Schumer capitulated for nothing & must go.
How could it possibly be worse? You are giving away everything and getting nothing for the people who supported you
@schumer.senate.gov needs to resign. So does @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @kenmartin.bsky.social This is the wrong leadership for the times we are in. They are too conventional and not up to the task. Vote NO on the CR - Stop the Trump Dictatorship now... It's our last chance.
What a douche
I. Want. T. Scream. Ds are paralyzed with fear🤯
I guess. Let the dog catch the car and see how the voters react. And for all the citizens on Medicaid, sorry we had to throw you under the bus but it's really better this way.
No! The bad Republican bill only gets Democratic support if and when Trump’s insanity gets reigned in!
He needs to retire we need younger dems who are ready to fight, if they pass this bill it will be a disaster for the country as all the money appropriated will go to you know who.
Oh ffs! His ass needs to retire already. If you don't have the spine for the fight anymore, step down
No. Redo your headline to "Schumer caves to Republicans for what reason?!?" The government is already in shambles. Honestly, WTF.
He needs to vote No
Schumer must RESIGN NOW! He is doing more harm than good. Schumer MUST GO!
He needs to go.... after his last 3 days of "I Vote No" worthless
Fuck Schumer. Sold out democracy again. Fuck him!
He is currently on MSNBC saying that a shutdown would give Trump and Musk unfettered control over decisions. The only way to stop a shutdown once started, would require Trump to allow it to re-open therefore a shutdown would accelerate the end of our govt. so basically we need to swallow it
While colleagues are saying the opposite 🤦🏻♀️
yeah, He is still talking and getting challenged. But he is adamant that shutting the government would give Trump immediate victory. We no longer have a democracy I believe we will have riots this summer.
Sad, but quite possibly true.
Well, we Cal Alum aren’t unaccustomed to that are we? Gotta do what ya gotta do.
What Democrats don’t seem to understand is that the Republicans are already shutting down the government. What do we have to lose? Show some balls Democrats!!
I think Schumer should think what would McConnell do? I think he made the wrong choice stick to your guns and let the republicans figure it out. There the ones in charge
Schumer must go. Immediately.
He is so wrong about this. Take stand for God’s sake!
Canceling my Actblue donation. Re-registering as an independent. Call me next year when you understand what we're up against. JD was right we're all screwed, but you just made it worse.
@schumer.senate.gov is a collaborator.
