How are you feeling about the situation?

I’m still beyond furious.

First we need to replace the minority leader who failed to lead us through this, who blew any remaining shred of credibility to negotiate.

Joseph Schafer @joseph-schafer.bsky.social · 7h

I’ve written my two senators calling for new leadership in the senate. I hope you all do the same.

Please recruit us a Senate Minority Leader with a spine!

@schumer.senate.gov has to go immediately. This is completely unacceptable.

We won't be successful fighting Trump with Schumer/Durban in party leadership positions. Now is the time to put leaders in place who understand the fight we're in.

Will you call for Schumer to step aside?

For all of my complaints about @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I have to admit he has responded as well as I could have expected. And he’s so far been able to manage the house far better than @schumer.senate.gov has the senate.

Ro Khanna, who has called for Chuck Schumer to be replaced, says the only reason other Democrats aren't calling for it is because it would "offend a lot of donors."

"Are we gonna be beholden to the donors that have gotten us two terms of Donald Trump, or are we gonna listen to people?"

"Chuck Schumer should go ... he's no longer capable of leading the Democratic Party."

"I am an establishment Democrat and I'm here to say that Bernie Sanders is much more in line with where I and many other Democrats are today than Chuck Schumer is."

If you’re in Colorado, call Senator Bennett and ask that he publicly demand Schumer step down.

He wants to be governor. Remind him he has to show how to lead.

I don’t want to hear how bad this is from senators. Save it.

I want to hear demands for Schumer’s resignation.

It is time for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to primary Chuck Schumer. America has had it with leadership who fails to meet the moment. We need you @aoc.bsky.social
This hypothetical conversation must end.

Say it with me: Tea Party of the Left

That is what this moment calls for:

A loud, uncompromising, ideological faction that exists solely as opposition to the other side and pushes their own side toward hardline policy positions.

Great, cannot wait to wake up to fundraising emails with subject lines like “we’re not giving up!” asking me for $3 after completely letting us down.

I slept well on Tuesday because I felt like we were finally at a turning point and gaining momentum. It’s back to insomnia, stress and anger again I guess. The dems always find a way to fuck it all up.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK.

Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop.

I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

@kaine.senate.gov saying "Republicans will have to vote for the ACA or they know they'll be replaced on the ballot" makes it sound like this guy just has not been paying attention to politics for easily fifteen years.

If @durbin.senate.gov caves, it’s time for @govpritzker.illinois.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov to pull him aside and have him retire now. Put @julianastratton.bsky.social in the slot. Illinois is under attack and it’s time for fighters.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

Just anecdotally, the line at my local food pantry, in a very affluent corner of Massachusetts, was insanely long by relative standards. Make sure your friends and neighbors are doing alright through this!
