I can think of very few less effective ways to get a senate leadership change than 6 or 60 or 600 house members calling for it lol
UPDATE — Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

This is great news but a lot of people reacting to this are unaware that US emissions have been dropping for almost 20 years

We can add ‘endlessly bitching about how much my Super Bowl winning, .700+ winning % coach sucks as my team wins another game’ to the list of really annoying Philly shit. Tired of it
It wasn’t enough to be happy that the eagles beat the chiefs everyone had to say Jalen Hurts was the greatest QB ever and that stupid play was actually the coolest thing anyone has ever done. Not doing it. Also the Nick castellanos jokes were played out 4 years ago and also he’s washed

I know everyone just wants to be mad right now and who am I to get in the way of that but a month and a half ago everyone on here was certain that picking a fight over ACA subsidies was stupid

Mortgage backed securities themselves weren’t the cause of the Great Recession it was 1) grading high risk bonds as low risk and 2) the scale
This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers

“Controlled opposition” lol. Can we get a “rotating villain” too?
Chuck Schumer gave the go ahead. He recruits his scapegoats and taps someone like Chris Murphy to go play the tough guy publicly but its controlled opposition. They're all in lock step and none of them oppose the president.
Cavers. Turncoats. Chickenshits. Fuckers.

This is fucked and if you think this you should log off but at least this guy has the balls to say it out loud which is more than can be said of most people on here
I would accept the death of ten million Americans to deal with this problem. I do not care about some people's paychecks.

Chuck Schumer is doing this because he is sabotaging the emergence of a Democratic Party that actually promises real results for working people, in order to protect his phony job and his billionaire friends

It's right to be angry that we're stuck in the no-win scenario. It's right to be angry at those who put us here (Republicans, their voters, their third-party/non-voter collaborators, media figures).
But that doesn't make it stop being no-win. We don't get to reprogram the simulation.

If anyone could explain how not funding the government prevents any of the bad stuff republicans want to do I’d be happy to listen
I currently have people suggesting that I defend starving millions of Americans until 2029 because I don’t believe democrats should further enable republicans in starving millions of people while also denying them healthcare and funding secret police pogroms in our cities. It’s somehow real.
How could the negative PR be worse than the negative PR if they cave?

If this is the outcome you expect from the shutdown you better be organizing the mob right now or at least donating all your free time and money to food banks
Maybe they should become interested before their tantrum causes a mob to storm their caucus meeting because no one is paying SNAP benefits

Ok and if they don’t you’re happy with millions of people going without indefinitely?
I believe that the republican party should fund their own government, yes
So the plan is just never fund the government again until 2029?

Few people have been more vindicated in recent years than those of us that believe failing to dress appropriately is a sign of poor moral character
j. edgar hoover is looking up from hell and screaming about this outfit. i think the guy could probably look past a nonwhite as director of the fbi. but dressing like shit? that is a bridge too far for hoover.

I guess this is kind of scammy because it would make buying a house both cheaper in the near term and more expensive in the long term but who cares if you ever pay off the mortgage? The average length of homeownership is around 13 years
I love the endless scams of this admin. Whats the point in a loan you can never pay off? The median *first time* home buying age is 40

8/10 Stancil posts are good but when he misses like he does here he drops huge stinkers
I am so tired of hearing pundits - left, right, and center - ponderously announce that "what voters really care about is inflation and prices."

meanwhile in a country that actually is trying to build out the future, australia has so much solar power available that electricity is free. techcrunch.com/2025/11/05/m...

Australia now has so much solar power that the government will require utilities to sell customers free electricity for three hours per day.

Nearly all of the Republican political agenda is political malpractice and yet
This is a great deal for Republicans, since it would push the ACA cost hikes until after the midterms. On a purely political calculus, would be malpractice not to take this.
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

How exactly would you pass a bill that included a promise to follow the constitution
I can say it’s a shame that Dems aren’t making the line the GOP has to cross “re-establish the constitutional democracy that existed pre-2025” without it being a *personal* indictment of Schumer.
Normative vs descriptive distinctions ftw

schumer's audience for this isn't bluesky, it's caucus moderates, state governors, and federal worker unions who might be getting shaky about holding the line, and it worked, at least with the caucus mods, who showed up for this in solidarity.

We do this every time Dems offer a poison pill bill where we pretend that the Dems got “lucky” the GOP didn’t take it. The only reason they are offering it is because they KNOW they won’t take it
Which is fine, but he gave away every point of leverage Ds had ahead of any real negotiations and he's extraordinarily lucky Rs didn't say yes.

All of this is true (although the last part really isn’t) but until storage gets better intermittency is a REAL problem which this policy shows! They are giving away energy to juice demand during the day b/c solar produces more energy during the day than ppl use and we don’t know what to do with it
are renewables better for the environment than fossil fuels? yes. is it cheaper? also yes. is it less dangerous to extract? yes, significantly.
but you've gotta understand if we switched, the people who are currently wealthy would not be as wealthy

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative
