I'm at a loss as this deal on the shutdown achieves. Victory is a promise to vote someday? @schumer.senate.gov needs to go. It's time for a vote of no-confidence. It's time for new leadership.

hey @schumer.senate.gov !!!
It's an embarrassing day to be a Democrat. 40+ days into a shutdown and I can only wonder what the point was? Could have caved before it started. A deal for a proposed date for a vote? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK.
At least you get the victory of keeping the talking points!
