Hey, @schumer.senate.gov!
Americans gave you a clear assignment last Tuesday, and you didn’t understand it.
Now, we are giving you another one: Step down and allow a Democrat with a spine to unite your caucus for the good of all Americans.
Remember what you told Biden? Now, tell it to yourself.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

We had all the momentum
•The American people were blaming Republicans
•A landslide Democratic victory
•Courts ordering Trump to fund SNAP benefits
Yet you couldn't convince your caucus to fight for us
It's the final straw that breaks the back of your tenure as leader, Senator
Time to step down

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

It was already current law to back pay federal workers! If the administration won’t obey existing law, what makes them think they’ll do it because of this “deal”??

We should still try to call him and change his mind before the final vote.
With all respect Sir, this is weak. You had leverage and the momentum from Tuesday and you squandered it.
If you can ratchet the pain on GOP senators for the December vote, you may still accomplish something. But you threw away your leverage.
