Summary
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces mounting pressure from House Democrats to resign his leadership position after supporting a Republican government funding bill that most House Democrats opposed.
Representatives Delia Ramirez, Glenn Ivey, and the liberal group Indivisible have publicly called for his resignation, with more lawmakers potentially following suit.
Critics argue Schumer betrayed House Democrats by not fighting against a bill that failed to protect agencies from DOGE cuts, while Schumer maintains avoiding a shutdown was necessary to prevent Trump from downsizing government more rapidly.
Congressional democrats from both houses settled on a plan together.
Chuckles decided he didn’t like that plan, so he went rogue. Schumer may have had a valid argument, but was only able to convince ten out of 260 congressional democrats- both the house and senate- that this was a good plan.
Also, he apparently though that Chip “fuckwit” Roy and the rest of the freedumb fuckers wouldn’t cave to Trump- despite them signalling that they would- all two weeks before this decision was made.
The furor isn’t just about that he did it, that he caved. It’s also about unity and loyalty.
