I really think Schumer has to go….not sure who could replace him….not Durbin please….someone younger and aggressive.


I like Schatz on twitter but does he do anything else?

So much for Schatz. Who can decipher this? I note two democratic senators who have recently announced retirement…Cortez Masto and Hassan aren’t up for reelection until 2028.

The democratic leadership provided 3 votes for cloture. It’s kind of hard for me to understand what is really going on here. Did these 10 take a bullet for more senators? MAGA only needed 7 so why did the leadership go along? Fetterman and Gillibrand seem to have been the instigators…

I’m not sure I totally agree, but the best explanation I have heard

@steventdennis.bsky
Schumer’s calculus is that the real fight and leverage is in the courtroom, where Congress’s prerogatives have been winning and slowing the Trump/Musk move to dismantle agencies. And that a shutdown would effectively moot those cases and let them eviscerate govt faster.

Easier explanation...these people simply do not care!  None of Trump's policies or actions will affect their lives in anyway.
