I was very lucky to see Stacey Abrams speak in-person about this particular moment we're in.
WE ARE NOT DONE. The election was NOT the be-all, end-all. She talked about how it's not about ONE pivotal moment that turns the tide. We cannot stop holding onto what is POSSIBLE.

I can only imagine that the thugs at MAGA's helm must be certain the base is so brainwashed that they'll ignore this brazen evidence, as much as they ignored everything that came before it, as much as they're okay with Ghislaine Maxwell living her best life in white-collar prison. /1

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

I don't trust a damn that the Epstein files without heavy editing will be released, regardless of what we have for House votes. We have to be ready for whatever comes. It starts with removing Schumer.

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

If you don't like your senator or local rep, don't wait for someone else to run. Or, support someone with good policies who will, and don't stop until they win. This system will only change if we are changing it. AOC, Mamdani, Bernie...they're the start. Boot establishment Dems.

This hurts, and this isn't cope, but we got the ACA with a single vote from someone who still had a shred of decency. If every senator who was complicit, not just the ones who voted yes, are this malleable to their donors...then we damn well keep fighting to change our systems. /1
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Share and share and share. The Dems who voted yes knew they were retiring or not up for re-election...they answer to their donors and seek only to line their pockets.
People need to keep waking up and insist on more. This hurts, but we know Schumer has to go, whether this was planned by him or not.

Hey Vermonters, give Sen. Welch a call. See to it that Schumer is done.
I didn't dare hope; this fight isn't linear. Recall the victories of this week...the resounding response of a nation waking up from apathy. We're far from done: raise your voice high. We'll lick our wounds. The fight goes on.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
