This should have been the end of his campaign. Can't believe America overlooks everything he does and expects him to take care of Americans and lead!!!????

Im not in WI but I just want to say this visual is so cute lol

Cool but the GOP funding bill, a main topic at these town halls, was passed with the help of 10 Senate Dems. Need to fix that too and replace Schumer as party leader
March 19, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Yeah lol we on the same side. Hating all them traitors!

That's what I meant. Since the thread begins with Dr Oz hearing I was pointing out Cortez Masto, in addition to Hassan as you pointed out, also voted for cloture.
March 18, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Cortez Masto also led questioning against Dr Oz but voted for the bill too

The Senators in a graphic. And then also Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) was the 1 House Rep. who voted with GOP while his 212 dem colleagues in the House rightfully voted against the bill.

The real issue is that a lot of dems are mid, but that's bc too a lot of voters are mid 😔 like we voted them in, including over others in the primaries

His book tour is advertised as let's have a conversation about antisemitism. He needs to do that with his Republican colleagues, especially with the nazi White House he just emboldened
March 17, 2025 at 3:39 PM
No it must be Republicans working with DEMS to get the few votes in Senate they need to pass bills, not the other way around. Dems have been giving in to nominees and bills now while claiming everything the admin is doing is unacceptable. You can't call them fascists and also work with them
March 17, 2025 at 2:04 PM
I would love to hear from them but I wonder if they're depressed seeing this shitshow 🤡 bc I would be if I were them

I also wonder if they're hoping to see how the dem party reforms without their influence bc dems really need to 🔥

It's definitely a purposeful cycle by the rich of: 1) make most Americans too poor and overworked to be able to pay attention; 2) make voting on a weekday when many workers cannot vote; 3) raise taxes on the poorest to subsidize the rich
March 17, 2025 at 4:03 AM
It's still crazy to me that GOP have this wild budget they proposed and dems managed to mess up so bad that the focus is on dems now. They fully deserve all the backlash 🔥
March 17, 2025 at 4:01 AM
Tell your Dem Senators you want him replaced as party leader

Translation: "Throw out the 233-yr old 1st amendment of free speech and the 157-yr old 14th amendment on citizenship in the Constitution. Protect the agency that has only existed for 22 years since 2003 that wastes thousands per deportation"

Anyone is better than Chuck Schumer. Senator Chris Murphy (CT)has thankfully been one of the most outspoken. Dem leadership needs to be strong and bold like him!
March 16, 2025 at 7:33 PM
I havent been able to watch the interview yet but Chris Hayes said when he interviewed Chuck about this AFGE letter, Chuck was just like um nah they wrong. Booooo
bsky.app/profile/chri...
I asked Schumer about this last night and his answer was basically that they’re wrong.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR.

In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.
March 16, 2025 at 1:57 AM
And if you feel comfortable calling, even Congress members like AOC have explained that calling is more effective bc they can't ignore it as much. And it's more disruptive to their offices. The poor Schumer aides these days lol
March 16, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Lmao I need to catch up with how crazy this podcast is. I want to see the clips the researchers showed to survey participants 🤣 I guess you can see now how Newsom and Don Jr have been with the same woman
March 16, 2025 at 1:50 AM
Tbf, this press conference seems to be before the full vote even took place on the CR bill? So House dems wouldn't have decided yet at that point what to do about Schumer, nor did they know yet that the 10 Senate Dems would end up fully betraying them to pass the bill. So I get he wouldn't say Y/N
March 16, 2025 at 1:46 AM
Right. He didn't even say "no comment." He just said he aint even addressing the question bye 🤣
March 16, 2025 at 1:42 AM
Omg yes pls rally some more energy against GOP
March 16, 2025 at 1:41 AM
Yeah I'm all for a hate train but Jeffries isn't on my list yet. He's mid but the progressives cannot persuade the centrists necessarily like he seems to have been able to, keeping 212 dems together against the CR. Idk what he does behind closed doors but haven't found a reason to hate yet
March 16, 2025 at 1:41 AM
Yeah lol like I think he'd do the job well but the energy is not there to rally people or get them excited
