BAD MOVE: Do not believe Chuck Schumer’s reason for allowing Trump’s continuing resolution!
Sen. Chuck Schumer’s statement that supporting Trump’s continuing resolution was preferable is laughably wrong. It was a capitulation to Trump that tells Republicans that Democrats are timid and can be rolled.
Here is the bill that passed the #senate yesterday averting an orderly shutdown on a date certain, continuing the disorderly one underway, and authorizing MORE CUTS in the next 6 months
it was not a #continuingresolution just like #doge was not and is not about efficiency
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1968/all-actions
Message misses from the opposition
#democrats are tongue tied
#shutdown already underway by #dogees
#continuingresolution was not that - it was a wholly new set of cuts and more authority for the #executivebranch for 6 months
#tariffs are #importtaxes on the end consumer
#trumpSlump #wallstreet and #mainstreet are united against uncertainty introduced by #tusk
Today is a good day to spot unserious people.
Yesterday, demanding that #Democrats filibuster the #Republican #ContinuingResolution could be motivated by one of two opposite reasons: 1) pressure the party to unite behind a single tactic; 2) amplify division over the tactics.
Now that the filibuster didn't happen, ripping into Democrats who refused to do it can only be motivated by reason #2. These are not serious people.
Serious people are moving on to the next opportunity to unite us.
These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.
Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters
Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.
#ContinuingResolution #Senate #Budget #Democrats #Primary #Traitors
Pissed At What Chuck Just Got Through? Call Your Senators (if Dems) and Tell Them to Remove Him From Senate Leadership
Keep calling your senators, we're getting more flips to NO because of it. Time is almost out but we're nearly there
If you are in the US please #callyoursenators to reject the proposed CR #fundingbill!! This #continuingresolution hands the keys over to #trump and #musk to ransack our #government for the next 6 months. #TrumpRegime and #MuskNazi are ignoring law while the government is open. Being closed won't change much except give up #democrats, who are the #MinorityParty in both Senate and House, last #bargainingchip for 6 months. So much #damage has been done in less than two months, in 6 months there may be little to save.
Ask your #senators to let the #governmentshutdown if that's what #republicans want. The #GOPfascists Speaker Mike Johnson quickly rammed the CR through the #houseofrepresentatives by offering #gopcowards representatives conflicting promises. He then forced the House to break and end their session of Congress, which limited the #senate to accept the CR or let the government shut down. Budgets need to be #bipartisanlegislation. Furthermore, #TrumpLies and #muskrat have illegally #impounded funds approved by #congress, showing that budgets need to be enforced or Congress is a #powerlessshell. The #goptraitors has signaled for the last two months that they have no interest in protecting their co-equality as a branch of government. If #democratsawol give up their last position of #power, Congress will be #beholden to the Executive Branch. They will have #surrendered their #constitutional responsibility to act as a backstop to #executiveoverreach. Call your Senators to hold them #accountable to the people. Hold them to their oath to the Constitution. #oathtoconstitution #FuckTrump #FuckElon #FuckElonMusk
#MikeJohnson is the jackass who engineered this last-minute bullshit. He knew when the funding would run out. He is the one that built this accursed #ContinuingResolution with no #Democratic support. He's the one that put us in this position. But you're going to play his disingenuous game and ... /3
My current boilerplate:
So #ChuckSchumer has -- what's the word I need to choose carefully here? -- capitulated
I knew he would
The #DemocraticParty is old and senile and preparing their Golden Parachutes to gently glide down into the Golden Years of their retirements
They've all got what they want
America can go suck eggs
Then: I've called #PattyMurray and #MariaCantwell repeatedly and got nothing but voicemail after long waits
Last time *I* replied to one of Patty Murray's fund raising emails it was immediately bounced back to *me* with a "User Unknown" error
This, me replying *to* Murray's email list, from an email address I've had since 1998
The Democrats don't want to hear from Americans
The Democrats have checked out and left us all on our own
@schumer.senate.gov give me a break! Passing the #ContinuingResolution won't have any measurable impact on how #PresidentMusk and his pet #Trump continue to wreck the government and ruin the lives of #CivilServants. Except if you and other #Democrats vote in favor of it, it's on your hands, too.
