Pissed At What Chuck Just Got Through? Call Your Senators (if Dems) and Tell Them to Remove Him From Senate Leadership

House dems are PISSED at what Schumer just did. This is the case where outside voices are maximally helpful - when people on the inside of the party want him out. Let's build continued pressure. This will not happen overnight, it will happened when we keep the pressure consistently high
How is it the fault of federal workers? Like all federal workers?
Poor writing on my part.
It’s the fault of the GOP. It’s their mess, they should 100% own it.
If the American people grow angry about it, we all know who they should be angry at. MAGA.
It sucks for the federal workers. But the Democrats did not create this mess, they shouldn’t vote to ameliorate it in exchange for giving the GOP one goddamned inch.
Gotcha, I share the sentiments.
The big problem with a gov shutdown is, somehow, the US populace can sniff out who caused it (according to a politics podcast I listen to.) So if democrats collectively stood their ground it very likely would have looked bad for them, not republicans.
I honestly don’t know which outcome, shutdown or no, would have been better. Like others are saying, supposedly a shutdown government would have also given Trump/Musk power to do things without congressional oversight. It’s a shitty situation either way.
