Schumer is getting disemboweled on Bluesky. [View all]

It is something to behold.

It just isn’t anger over his decision to vote for the CR.

There is a loud chorus calling for him to be primaried, for him to be forced out of his job as minority leader, or for him to resign altogether.

Democrats and those who honor democracy are
furious.

Sober voices like Jen Rubin and Rachel Vindman making certain people get their outrage.

Reading through the threads one has to agree that democrats are in dire need of new leadership, regardless of this particular situation.

I can’t wait to hear what Steve Schmidt has to say tomorrow on The Warning. No doubt there will be veins popping out of his neck.

It’s clear this vote yes/vote no dilemma is a lose-lose for the American people. But I think if I were a Senator I would land on no. I wouldn’t feel good about it. I would be scared. Yet at the end of the day standing up against tyranny would be the only choice. And then I would pray.
