Hey @baldwin.senate.gov time to wake up and join the party - clean up your minority leader or go down with him.
UPDATE — With Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Chair Emerita of the Congressional Progressive Caucus), there are now at least 12 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

@durbin.senate.gov You are a traitor for caving in. Must be convenient that you are retiring and won't face the music either voters.

Sadly he is very effective...for his corporate handlers!

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.

He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.

Literally resign tonight.

i don't think democratic voters should have to spend this much time whipping democratic elected officials.

@baldwin.senate.gov thank you for not being one of the senators that caved, now lead the charge to replace your "leader" with someone that can actually lead. We all know he orchestrated this cave in behind the scenes using retiring and senators not up for reelection.

I'd suggest we replace that "vote blue no matter who" slogan with "vote blue but only if they are new"

Here you have it - "The Cave In Caucus". Fuck these losers.
Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

@schumer.senate.gov are you caving in again? fucking loser!
November 10, 2025 at 1:56 AM
@baldwin.senate.gov Don"t you dare cave into the MAGA shutdown. They need to solve their governance problems and compromise with YOU. I will never vote for you again if you cave in.

Now that halloween is over, it's practically Xmas. I painted this little reindeer character some time ago but I like to share him during this time of year.

You can also see him and some of my other projects over on Putty and Paint: www.puttyandpaint.com/oakes123
