Have you called your reps yet? Time to get Schumer and Durbin out of leadership.
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:

I have a plan to save movie theaters and it’s gonna work:
Double-price for phone-friendly showings. You can have your phone out the entire time, make calls, talk, bring young active children without fear of being judged.
Half-price for silent showings. Phone use gets you banned for six months.

I think if you were actually angry you would describe the behind the scenes deal schumer outlined with the dems up in 2026 and name the names of the senators who were too chickenshit to put their names on their proxy yes votes right?
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.

We want this #shutdown to end as much as anyone, but giving in to promises of a future vote on ACA subsidies is weak sauce. The House pen won’t even allow it and we can do this shutdown dance again in January. 😩

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

Just a reminder that after the “Schumer Surrender” in March, 82% of our group leaders in New York (and 91% of our group leaders nationwide) voted to call for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. 👇
🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

FACT CHECK: Walmart's Thanksgiving meal is cheaper because it has 6 fewer items, no fresh products, & a greater percentage of the "Great Value" brand compared to last year.
Just another attempt by Trump to lie to the American people about how he's "Making America Great."

Trump: "I just saw that Walmart came out last night that Thanksgiving this year will cost 25% less than last year ... that's emblematic of the rest of prices." (They shrunk the turkey and made the meal smaller.)
