Right when protest action is gaining momentum and focus is on elon and trump intentionally crashing the country, Schumer decides to kick his own party in the teeth. He's either old, an idiot, terrified of trump, or bought and paid for #RemoveSchumer

Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.

Democrats had four absences earlier. BUT, Frederica Wilson returned for the evening series. Then as Rs prepared to put this bill on the floor, Brittany Pettersen (recently gave birth) unexpectedly arrived to vote. AND Kevin Mullin (hospitalized) just unexpectedly showed up. Rs can only lose 1 now
WELP. They sent everyone home, and now they've just reopened the series and put the bill back on the floor.
Members had left Capitol Hill for the night, now they are turning around and driving back, I've never seen this happen before in 10+ years working here
