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.

Chuck Schumer needs to step down as leader. He clearly isn't lock in step with majority of democrats. This is bad. Im so angry with his caving. Listen shutdowns suck but this "CR" sucks even more and it's not even a clean funding bill. Pathetic.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
