If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Resign right now, you useless, ineffective, Quisling little coward. Go count your money and get out of the way for someone who cares about saving America from this tyranny.

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

"Donald Trump is willing to cancel flights at Thanksgiving and starve American citizens in order to deprive people of affordable health insurance" was a winning message for the Democrats. The polls and Tuesday's elections proved it. But they flinched, behaving as though winning was losing.

1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.
