Hey US friends, here's a script if you have a [D] Senator who voted against ending the shutdown. I guarantee they're making the rounds today saying they didn't want this. Bullshit.
If they're not calling for Schumer to step down, tell them to put up or shut up.

I want Senator [NAME] to know I'm furious with the outcome of last night's vote to end the shutdown. I'm fully aware that they voted No - but Sentator [NAME] needs to know their constituents aren't stupid or gullible. It's clear that this was a decision made by the party caucus, led by Schumer, regarding who voted what way.
I'm disgusted with these antics and sick of hearing individual Senators' mealy-mouthed objections after the fact.
Put simply, I don't believe [Senator's] No vote. I don't believe they were against ending the shutdown. If they want to earn back my trust and prove to me that their vote was actually sincere, the SINGULAR way they can do that is to to call for Schumer to step down immediately.
Thank you for your time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4y2m2zdllgtpltlbbdymznkj/bafkreigst3a6cbjcfdg7vkm5zuh4tnj4i7rmmemwwu7mhkuceil6qnqisq@jpeg)

If your senators voted "No" then you should call them and immediately pressure them to depose of Schumer
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
