Schumer’s shutdown “surrender” sends the left into a rage www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
"the left"??? the only people who want this are oligarchs
I am speechless and PISSED AS HELL www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LEAD, STEP OUTTA THE DAMN WAY!!!💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸 VOTE NO‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 SHUTTING DOWN A BROKEN UNETHICALLY “OPERATING” GOVERNMENT IS WORTH THE SACRIFICE TO SAVE AMERICA‼️!!! BE PRO-THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, KEEP YOUR OATH OF OFFICE AND VOTE NO!!!‼️💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Democrats are not made for this moment. We need a new political party.
"The left" aka the middle and lower income folks who have stuck around through each neoliberal failure hoping that we can get a party that is socially liberal and prioritizes every-day Americans who live paycheck to paycheck. Carrying water for the corporate class there, Politico
great words. ✊
We want a fighter and he’s not it 😡
Shumer put all his chips all in and folded. That's not how you play the game. You fight to the last buzzer. You leave it all on the field. You NEVER quit.
Outrageous
I don't like his stand, but on the other side, let the republikans dig their own grave!
Guess what I’m a moderate Democrat but I’m disgusted with Schumer and moving more to the left every day. No donations to any democrat who votes yes
Tell Schumer to vote NO.
Schumer has got to go. He is not rising to the moment! 😡🤬
Schumer and Politico.... perfection. Two stupid and pathetic entities trying to be relevant.
He f'ed up big time, if tRUMP congratulated him.
The left in that headline…….
Well, not rage, but maybe our senior Senator from NY could occasionally, I don't know, listen to his constituents?
Men like Schumer fail to grasp that today’s women are better at dealing with little pricks like Donald Trump and Elon Musk and their cabinet of trolls. We stand united against Trump and Musk even if Schumer no longer has the stomach to lead. We know who does!
what a terrible generation, pass the torch already... yall learning nothing from biden fiasco dems, so it seems.
Agree with the posts - anyone that's not a MAGAt now considers @schumer.senate.gov done.
Sucks
No Chuck didn't throw USA under the bus. It was those who thought they wanted a savior-in-chief/felon/con who voted for the white dud. They got their wish. Now let's drain the bottom of America's maga washpot. What say ye?👂👂🕛🕛AM
Come on @schumer.senate.gov don’t let the maga’s win. Please rethink your choice. I am a solid dem. Please please!!!
It’s another demonstration of the moribund Democratic Senate Leader’s uselessness to his Party, his constituents, and his Nation. No one personifies more the archaic, and out-of-touch brand of Emily Post politics in the day of cut-throat assassin opponents. Resign, Mr. Schumer, allow Hochul to fight
He must be replaced. He's a coward and is betraying his constituents and the Democratic Party.
As others have pointed out — and as Politico damn well knows — dems across the ideological spectrum (not “the left”) are angry. What unites them is their desire to fight.
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?’
I will never understand the supine and lacklustre Dem response to their country being dismantled around them and US friends being turned into enemies and vice versa…
What do they have on you chucky ??? Are you on some sort of “list?” 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Oh, come on political you are really, really becoming the more public far-right media maybe because of your owner why do you precise left? It’s everybody who voted for the Democrats that are pissed off stop being so far-right it would give us a little bit of fresh air.
Resign! You betrayed our trust!
REP DEM is the gemeni system, one coin two faces, same masters, same slaves.
Ritchie Torres just called out Schumer. It's basically every Dem vs Schumer.
We should never forget that the Dems are owned by the oligarchs too. Schumer is just doing his masters bidding.
Schumer's a spineless blob of cowardice.
The #dirty10
Along with a whole bunch of moderates out here. This is not leadership.
Schumer, like "president" Grump - is 100% traitor to the cause of freedom. Let the corrupt regime shut down. Let those red hats find out where their checks really come from.
Not just the left!!!! Stop this stupid messaging.
NOT "the left", you pathetic charlatans. It's THE PEOPLE who are outraged! We know what this bill contains. Schumer is voting to make himself and ALL OF CONGRESS irrelevant, removing their constitutional duty to control "the purse". He's giftwrapping absolute power to Elon Musk. THE PEOPLE RAGE!
The left?? Try all democracy loving Democrats.
Dems need new leadership in the senate
Sends "Democrats" into a rage.
Yes, it does. He's a spineless wimp. STOP playing nice and by the rules because the other side has none.
Schumer has called this one correctly, trump knows it that's why he's congratulating Schumer to make the Dems put pressure on him to vote no..Consider Schumer's point..
"The left". Lazy journalism. Practically every damn democrat in the base is enraged.
This is another example of why we are where we are.
Ugly business to watch the minority leader neuter himself and the party by capitulating to a dictator. Schumer is a disgrace and needs to step-down NOW! Trump mocked him, so he knelt down and kissed the ring. That must have worked because now Dear Leader is praising Schumer.
Fuck you @schumer.senate.gov
and rightfully so
"Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him." - Proverbs 14:31 (ESV) If you are a Christian and you support cutting healthcare for poor people, you really need to re-read the Bible. #Bible #Christian #Jesus #BlessedAreThePoor #God #Generous
Can't figure out why the fuck he's smiling. It's not funny. It's not a happy time.
Definition of a putz.
VOTE NO! DO NOT SURRENDER!
Schumer is a traitorous piece of shit, he is complicit in what’s coming and just illustrates why elderly assholes need to step aside. Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, all needed to retire or fucking croak two decades ago. I’m more angry than ever, what a bunch of disgraceful assholes.
Will be interesting to see if Schumer threw the two 4/1/25 special election candidates under the bus in terms of campaign donations.
So basically I think we can assume Dump and Musky have some sort of legit and credible dirt on Chuck and Chuck is saving his own hide. Coward!
Might be a strategy. Let Trump delegitimize himself through his own action, don't give him an excuse to blame the Democrats. Preserve your political capital for when you can actually win on something. It's scary... but might work.
The GOP broke it, they own it.shut it down.

What will Democrats do about Schumer continuing to prop up the Trump administration?
Nothing. He’s an old man at the end of his life and career. He doesn’t care if he gets primaried or how mad this will make people. We need term limits and an age limit for elected officials because once they get to this point this is what you get
Just like Mitch McConnell this year finally doing a bit better only bc he's at the end
The spineless names should go down in ignominy, Schumer, Garland, and McConnell... Pence went to the edge but got a backbone (just barely).
I get you on age/term limits, but that's for another day. Dems need to respond in lockstep with the pace the Trump administration is moving right now. If you are conducting Schumer postmortem or reviews after the fact then you've lost already.
Yeah, we know we certainly don’t need to hear it from @politico.com You guys suck the shine right off a fucking trailer hitch most of the time, don’t pay attention to you much. Yeah, just go ahead and shut the fuck up.
It's simple math, get the numbers and vote him out or get the dirt and force him out
"The left", further trying to divide Americans in an effort to legitimize lawlessness. Pathetic writing.
Vote him out if leadership then. I am sure there is plenty of young blood there chomping at the bit to lead.
I’m a moderate Dem who fights sometimes with the left about other things but I’m absolutely on their side in this. It’s not a “left” issue
#FuckChuck
It’s not rage—it’s hurt and disappointment. People expected strong leadership and a stand for their values, and instead, they feel let down. Framing this as ‘rage’ dismisses the real frustration of those who feel their concerns were ignored.
If trump is going to work without congress then we need to stop paying congress to just sit around.
Rightfully so. Schumer is a schmuck.
I understand his point. But it's only a delay anyway. So the real question is by how much did his net worth suddenly grow?
He needs to retire. Out of touch with what democrats want
Where's the spine? No guts. Get rid of Chuck.
It's entire party you enormous tools
I see people acting like they are compromised way too often. It’s time for a serious investigation of all levels of our government
Especially anyone that’s been to Russia.
It's not the left. It's everyone who isn't a Maga.
Excuse me, the correct term is: “MAGAts”
It's not just "the left" you hacks. Jeffries and Pelosi are even criticizing it. It's anyone who thinks we shouldn't capitulate to a bunch of authoritarian crooks like Musk and Trump which spans much more than just "the left."
And you can take the inverted commas off surrender.
ICYMI Axel Springer, a Far Right-friendly publisher, bought Politico and now Politico is worthless as a consistently reliable news source. 🙄 www.spiegel.de/internationa...
Well said.
Up Chuck, up Chuck, up Chuck,…!!🤑🤢🤮
As it should!!!
Can we impeach Schumer? I’m ready.
I'm very very disappointed in you Schumer we have to stand up at some point and I know shutting the government down is terrible. But the alternative is worse
Not "the left," everybody
Anyone who wants to preserve constitutional law is against this bill. Not just the left. Why don’t you report on how this bill moves powers to the president?
This is what a traitor looks like
No"quotes", he did surrender to the fascists.
Have heard his daughter works for Amazon. Conflict much?
Not👏 Just👏The👏Left!!!
Fucking coward.
MAGA is in complete control and is destroying everything as fast as they can, the very least the other party should do, is not help them in that endeavor in any way. MAGA already shut the government down if we are honest, this would just make it official.
Let’s stop pretending that there’s a “left” in American politics—it’s center right at best.
I’m a centrist and I’m pissed. So over Trumps chaos and defilement. Can’t afford to have weak leaders in the opposing party.
If by “the left” you mean all anti-fascist Americans, including Never Trump Republicans, then sure, “the left” is outraged.
Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer make a cute couple. They’re both spineless, oxygen-wasters that care far more about PAC money and getting reelected than the good of their country.
I tried to call his office many times, but couldn’t get through. I did send a few emails saying he was betraying We the People if he voted ‘yes’ on cloture and/or the bill.
By that framing "the left" includes every Democrat I know, and folks like Nancy Pelosi. Looks like it includes all but 1 house Democrat. The only "center" far enough right to tolerate Schumer at this point is Trump.
"Schumer's Capitulation Gift to GOP" #fixedIT
And patriarchy indemnifies Schumer. He believes he’s doing the hard thing that no one understands or appreciates because HE is the experienced elder statesman who knows better. But he is ignoring the times we live in, now. The rules have changed. Trump ignores court orders. No on the CR is a must.
FALSE. We don’t have a “left” in the US political milieu.
He's complicit in destroying this country. The level of weakness is staggering.
