"Even Rand Paul — Rand Paul! — is voting against this CR. Think about that for a second."
"This is a moment for courage. For backbone. For clarity. But instead of rising to meet it, Chuck Schumer chose to fall in line. Perhaps most frustrating is that he reversed course just one day after bragging that Republicans don’t have the votes."

This whole kerfuffle over the #shutdown / #CR drama reminds me that #elections matter, and if the #Puritopians had just eff’ing voted we would not be here, with the collapse of democracy all around us, shouting into the void.

"#Schumer sent… #Democrats into fits of rage… by announcing that he would vote to allow… #Republicans to pass the stopgap #CR.
Democrats have pushed for language in the bill to stop #DOGE from cutting congressionally approved spending, but Schumer argued that Democrats would ultimately lose a shutdown fight"
[So why bother to #fight at all?]
#Trump praised Schumer's "courage" in backing the bill

This Lincoln Project video about Chuck Schumer caving on the CR perfectly captures how I feel about him and the Democratic party right now. It's very sweary and so am I.

Patty. Chuck Schumer, Trump's chump.
Chuck Schumer, boneless chicken.
Chuck Schumer, hero of invertebrates.
Chuck Schumer: I'm old, on Medicare, LGBT, female, person of color - VOTE NO ON THE CR. All the bad things you worry about happening if you vote NO will directly hit me, and I'm telling you, VOTE NO. SHUT IT DOWN.
SHUT IT DOWN, make THEM OWN IT, I'm begging you. This is where we are tasked to sacrifice and suffer to save something greater than this moment.
My current boilerplate:
So #ChuckSchumer has -- what's the word I need to choose carefully here? -- capitulated
I knew he would
The #DemocraticParty is old and senile and preparing their Golden Parachutes to gently glide down into the Golden Years of their retirements
They've all got what they want
America can go suck eggs
Then: I've called #PattyMurray and #MariaCantwell repeatedly and got nothing but voicemail after long waits
Last time *I* replied to one of Patty Murray's fund raising emails it was immediately bounced back to *me* with a "User Unknown" error
This, me replying *to* Murray's email list, from an email address I've had since 1998
The Democrats don't want to hear from Americans
The Democrats have checked out and left us all on our own
