Going into winter I'd like to take a moment to share my masking precautions for covid/illness prevention.😄

1. Time, Distance, Shielding

Minimize exposure wherever practical. Follow the ALARA principle: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. This is the key principle of radiation safety as well.

It doesn’t matter if Schumer worked behind the scenes to orchestrate the cave, or it’s simply that he + Durbin are so weak that they couldn’t whip the Dem Caucus against it. Either way, he must be removed from power.

We are fighting fascists. We need leaders who fight back, not kneel to oligarchs.

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear:

We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people.

If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

Senate Dems capitulated and voted to reopen the government while Trump, Republicans and SCOTUS continue to starve millions.

Yes, they caved because many Democrats lack a coherent or compelling vision for their party. But the shortest answer for why Democrats caved is that Chuck Schumer is the party’s leader in the Senate. The fish rots from the head. trib.al/AaaXLnQ

But my list of Senate Dems I will no longer contribute to grows longer by the minute.✏️🗒
THE BIG LIST TO OUST SCHUMER DOES NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDE

ANY ELECTED SENATORS

THAT COULD VOTE TO OUST SCHUMER.

El. Oh. El. I don't see a single US Senator on that list... ya know, the body that actually electes their leadership? 🤣😂😅

This is why Schumer needs to go. The ACA is toast and HE OWNS THAT FAILURE.

The clock is ticking.⏰️
"No Senate Democrats have joined their colleagues in seeking Schumer’s resignation and none responded to requests for comment from the Prospect."
Hear me out...

A Senate Dem needs to force the vote and then we'll know who supports him (and who supported ending the shutdown and sacrificing the ACA.)

and if no Senate Dems will force the vote? Then they all own this defeat.🤷‍♀️

AOC is right (as usual.) House Dems have fought hard and deserve Dem leaders in the House and Senate that they can count on to support them.
"Outrage and betrayal"

I knocked doors for Warren for months, but if she's gonna hold the party line while people die from the ACA being FORCED TO FAIL, she can retire too.

Until someone grows a spine they are all under suspicion.

You can't tell me Senate Dems can be more united against voters than Republicans, FFS.

Bernie refuses to call on Chuck Schumer to step down as Senate Minority Leader.

Ok, then how about Bernie retire already, he's LONG overdue.

Literally everyone supporting Schumer can get gone, idc idc.
JAKE TAPPER: Do you still have confidence in Chuck Schumer as leader of the Senate?

Trump and his family have donated thousands to the man who's now the most powerful Democrat in Washington
From 1996, when Schumer was running for a House seat, to 2010, Trump donated roughly $9,000 directly to the New York Democrat's campaign, per FEC filings.

By sending us $2,000 to give to billionaire insurance CEOs, and by tripling the interest we pay to mortgage companies while he continues to limit what we can write off, he's effectively looting the treasury and using us a mules to launder the stolen money; funneling it to the wealthy.
QUINTANILLA: What's more likely -- a $2,000 tariff rebate check or a 50 year mortgage?

Khanna for Senator. AOC, too, the Senate leaders can pack it up!
Khanna: You know, someone said to me, “Well, this backbencher from the House is calling for Schumer to step down.”

I said, “The point is the backbenchers need to come to the front.” Those of us in the back — we need to move to the front. And a new generation of leadership needs to emerge.”
