"It's complete BS": Dems go ballistic over Senate shutdown deal

Where the hell is the #DNC
We need leadership, not shadow puppets.
November 10, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Dear #DNC David Hogg was right. #Schumer needs to go. He’s too old. He’s become deadweight. And he has disgraced his party. His capitulation to Trump is the final blow.

Call for #Schumer to quit. He has disgraced every year of his tenure. He has #failed #America
Then call for Schumer to resign. It’s obvious he engineered this.
I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.

Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.

Polls were turning on them.

Republicans Made This Mess — Democrats Just Cleaned It Up for Them
While Republicans partied at Mar-a-Lago and cashed shutdown paychecks, Democrats gave them an escape hatch.

And then the Democrats caved. And whatever their motives, they forgot the central lesson of American politics since Trump came down that escalator ten years ago:

It never pays to surrender to Donald Trump. Not politically. Not morally. #NotEver.

What role did the #DNC play in this? Where is Ken Martin?

Durbin is retiring. He's got nothing to lose. Schumer should resign or be primaried. No excuse NH.
Leadership vote. Now.

Durbin voting for this, Schumer's fingerprints on it, plus his refusal to back OUR nominee in NY is unsustainable. When you have DSA, to Indivisible, to Bill Kristol outraged, not challenging their leadership is a moral stain.
In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Thanks for the tip. #Florida needs more stand up representation.
Orlando City Council District 3! I want you to know that I’m very proud to be supporting Mira Tanna in the runoff election.

She’s ready to champion bold ideas because she knows that business as usual won't solve the challenges we face. Vote Mira Tanna on or before December 9th!
