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.
I must be stupid.
If Maga wanted a shutdown (because Trump could “do things”), what stops them from voting “no” themselves and getting the shutdown they so desperately want? Nothing makes sense anymore.
Because it’s win/win for them. And if they voted against the shutdown, and it happened, they can blame Democrats (they would anyway, but this would lend credence).
Either way, they continue to cripple our federal government.
