In this interview Schumer says he agrees with Trump’s decision to pull $400 million from Columbia. A university in his own state. And he’s unconcerned about the unlawful arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, one of his constituents.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.
There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

The GOP doesn’t agonize over shutdowns. It doesn’t have to be forced kicking and screaming to oppose the Democrats.
The difference in the amount of fight the parties have in their bellies is staggering—and has been since Reagan.

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us.
His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead.

I don’t think Americans who voted for this administration are in any way prepared for the way its decisions could reverberate through the economy and lead to lost wages, mass layoffs, spiraling consumer debt, foreclosure, another lost generation of young people.
Recessions are no joke.

If Schumer votes for cloture, every Senator who doesn't immediately call for him to be replaced as Senate minority leader should be primaried.
This is absolute betrayal. This is launching a civil war in the Democratic Party that will burn it to the ground.

Don't take this as gospel. It's not official. It's a very knowledgable source's best understanding of the situation. This persons likely Yeses on cloture are. Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.
