Chris Murphy has been very strong since the beginning of the term.

4) The lack of competent leadership has guaranteed infighting among Democratics and demonstrated weakness.

5) Schumer must be replaced as quickly as possible. We need to go into the midterms with leaders who know how to fight.

6) We can fight for new leadership and fight Trump at the same time.

Some facts:

1) There was zero chance that the GOP would concede... they don't care enough about the American people.

2) The Dems needed an offramp because we do care.

3) Whatever you think about the deal, it couldn't have been handled in a more incompetent manner. Terrible timing and messaging

Yes, we need new leadership well before the midterms. If it gets to close, people will be afraid of an intra party fight. Let's rip off the bandaid and move forward.

Exactly. Senator Whitehouse you can unify around deposing our wildly unsuccessful Senate Minority Leader. THAT will unify the grassroots and, hopefully, most in Congress.

He needs to be removed as Whip.

Can’t the GOP pass it with a simple majority?
November 10, 2025 at 9:52 PM
I'm not surprised. Keep calling!!
November 10, 2025 at 9:27 PM
Translation: I will not support the Republican bill because I made sure there were enough Dem votes to pass it without my vote. I also think the voters are stupid enough to believe my clever ruse.

If you have a Democrat Senator, call them today and demand new leadership.

Imagine if Biden said....

Nevermind. I forgot that the mainstrem press has decided to pretend Trump isn't an idiot.

Thanks for sharing and making it clear that this isn't an abstract problem.

He's lying. That's not what the Democrats did with Obamacare.
November 10, 2025 at 8:47 PM
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?

3) The Dems take a bad deal and make it worse with idiotic messaging.

The only good thing that could come from this is an uprising to remove Schumer and most of the Dem Senate 'leadership'.

Will you publically call for Senator Schumer to step aside as leader?
November 10, 2025 at 5:17 PM
Let's see what Murphy and other Senators do over the coming month. If they don't move to replace Schumer then I'll agree with you.

At this point, I'm not ready to give up and just say everybody sucks.
November 10, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Yes, Senatory Murphy is angry. I've been watching him closely for years and he absolutely gets it.

Is Schumer angry? Absolutely not. He approved this move and then voted no in a transparent attempt to excuse his actions.

Our top priority needs to be replacing the Senate Leadership with fighters.
November 10, 2025 at 5:05 PM
And to elevate the fighters in the House, Senate, Governor's offices, Attorneys General....

There's zero chance of a new party being successful

Sure. It's $1,000,000 per day every day for 2739 years.... or since the founding of Rome by Remus and Romulous in the 8th Century BC.

Maine should be embarassed to have Collins and King as their Senators.
