They really Schatz the bed
They also gave us Tulsi Gabbard.
Was this the swamp that needed draining?
Jokes aside, I can't see why a swamp would need draining beyond the needs of expanding suburban sprawl. Leave the wonderfully diverse ecosystems be, to flourish and rot in peace.
Traitors. Get rid of all of them.
Cuck Schumer primary assfuck him immediately
unfortunately he cant be removed till the end of his term, but he can be removed as senate minority leader, immediately, and removed from all his committees. Lets see if the dems have the stones to do that. If they dont, they are all complicit.
This was the only bit of leverage democrats had, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary, any future elections will be a farce.

Primary everyone on this list.
As a very dumb person, is what the Dems that voted for this said wrong? Is there a chance that Asshat Trump and his Billionaire Butt Buddy would go on an unchecked rampage without Congress in session? Or is that just bull crap? I don't know enough about how everything works when congress shuts down.
No, that is the flimsiest of excuses. First of all, how could the presidents rampage more beyond what has already transpired? Secondly, republicans love to throw tantrums and shut down the govt all the time. This wouldn’t be much different except it would show the dems are actually willing to fight with the tools they have. Unfortunately, Schumer’s maneuver shows they are not. It’s beyond pathetic.

This is why we need a real party of the left rather than fascists and fascist-lites. Because when push comes to shove the fascist-lites will always side with the fascists and betray the common man
Agreed, the Dems are a lost cause and this is yet another time they’ve proven it.
I don't know about various state laws, but if those states happen to have recall abilities, now would be the time to recall those senators.
I don't care if it's cloture or the actual bill itself...
There should be zero Dems voting "yes" on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.
Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.
Those Dems that do vote yes... 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.
The cloture vote required 60 senators. That was the only chance for Democrats to stop this bill. He (and the others) then voted no, so they could say he voted against the bill, but they knew damn well that only in the cloture vote they actually could stop it.
Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she's not running for reelection...and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.
What fucking bullshit.
Dick Durbin always seems to find a way to be on the wrong side. I have no idea why he keeps getting reelected.
No one runs against him and even if someone were, he's the incumbent with party backing and all of the name recognition that comes with the decades of doing it.
Doesn’t want to jeopardize her payday after her term ends.
Cowards. All of them need to go
That's the last time I vote for Gary Peters. Good riddance. Fucking cowards!
I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.
But Fetterman just blasted the Dems for showing up at a fight with a casserole. How did he turn to then serving the casserole?
It's interesting that no one in the media talks about how Fetterman was one of the most progressive politicians, then he had a stroke and started taking the maga side on a lot of things.
It tracks with a lot of other anecdotal evidence (e.g. Tila Tequila becoming a nazi after an aneurysm, some lady in a recent Channel 5 video said she became pro-Trump following a head injury in a car accident, a couple of people in my personal life, RFK Jr. obviously). I'm not saying all magas are brain damaged - there's many different reasons I'm sure. But someone's gotta at least start asking the question. There is at least this study which ties brain damage to religious fundamentalism, which isn't exactly politics but it's pretty darn close.
Ironically we are the ones who are cooked

When party stops representing the people it is time for the people to begin representing themselves.

Seems like he did it, because he has a very important book tour https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/3/14/2310308/-Schumer-s-Book-Tour
And fighting for us would mess up his schedule.
Do you have any info on these traitors stopping in Illinois? I'd like to pay them a visit.
It is just Schumer and this list looks better (sorry for Reddit link):

I don't see Illinois though
If you believe the Democratic leadership is truly against the Republican agenda, you are being duped. It’s all kayfabe. They’re all rich and corrupt, and they all stand to gain from this.
- Senate Minority Leader Cuck Schumer
- Senator John Fondlesmen of Pennsylvania
- Senator Catherine Cortez Molesto of Nevada
- Senator Brian Shithispantz of Hawaii
- Senator Dick Turbin of Illinois
- Senator Kristen Gillybreath of New York
- Senator Gay Penis of Michigan (TBH it's low hanging fruit; If he hasn't heard this one the he must have been grown in a lab as a fully fledged adult homunculus and never was a human child.)
- Senator Maggie Hasbeen of New Hampshire
- Senator Jeanne Smallpeen of New Hampshire
- Senator Anus King of Maine, an independent who frequently caucuses with Democrats
