Recently Schumer helped the GOP put forward their archaic spending bill and the Dems in Congress were not happy even to the point of some calling do-nothing Schumer to resign….

Calls for U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to resign from his leadership post escalated on Friday after the New Yorker led nine other members of the Democratic caucus in helping Republicans advance a GOP stopgap funding bill to a final vote.

Those who stood with Schumer and Republicans for the 62-38 procedural vote—which required at least yes 60 votes—are Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine as well as Democratic Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Dick Durbin (Ill.), John Fetterman (Pa.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Brian Schatz (Hawaii), and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.).

The Democrats agreed to invoke cloture on the continuing resolution (CR) in exchange for considering four amendments to it. Republican senators then swiftly rejected Sen. Jeff Merkley’s (D-Ore.) amendment to restore Internal Revenue Service funding, Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill.) amendment to rehire fired military veteran federal employees, and Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s (D-Md.) amendment to eliminate DOGE.

A bipartisan majority also defeated Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) amendment to codify DOGE cuts to United States Agency for International Development and foreign aid into law. Senators then passed the stopgap bill, H.R. 1968; the 54-46 vote was mostly along party lines, with Shaheen and King voting yes, and Paul voting no. President Donald Trump is expected to sign it.

Schumer seems content with the status quo regardless of what us peons want…..after all what does he have to lose?

The Dem loyal are getting fed-up with the dolts we put in Congress to help protect us from the ravages of the GOP….so far they are failing and few happy….

A large majority of registered Democrats and Independent voters who lean Democratic are frustrated with the party, see no clear leader of it, and want to see elected officials fight harder for working people and against Republican President Donald Trump, according to a pair of polls released Friday.

“Democratic voters are sending a clear message: They want leaders who will fight Trump and put working people first,” said Danielle Deiseroth, executive director of Data for Progress, the progressive think tank behind the surveys. “The base is tired of weak opposition and business-as-usual politics.”

“This level of discontent is unsustainable for a party looking to build back in the wake of major losses—at a certain point, Democratic leaders will need to show voters that they are taking a stronger stance against Trump, or step aside for someone who will,” Deiseroth added.

Just how serious are the voters?

There is an election next year and will the Dem loyal do the right thing or will we keep sending lay-abouts to the House?

Then there is the coward of the Party who is on-board with these tariffs….

Congressman Jaren Golden occupies an unusual place on Capitol Hill: He is a Democrat who supports President Trump’s tariffs. “My biggest worry is that they’re going to do this and lose faith and political will and back away,” he tells Axios, adding that he would vote no on a pending House measure to try to kill the tariffs. In an interview with the Portland Press Herald in Maine, Rep. Golden defended tariffs as a tool to revive manufacturing in his state, even if they do cause short-term pain. “I have a lot of confidence that I have a lot of constituents that understand this trade-off,” he tells the newspaper.

The Hill describes Golden as a moderate who has been known to buck his party, including last month when he voted in favor of a Republican bill to avert a shutdown, thus becoming the only House Democrat to do so. On tariffs, Golden has introduced his own measure to impose a 10% across-the-board tariff on imports. Trump did that and more, though Golden is not going to criticize. “I’m not ready to say that he overshot with this,” Golden said. “I’m not ready to say that 20% or 25% is too aggressive compared to some of the practices that we have faced from places like China.” He also shrugged off the stock market turmoil, telling Axios that “the vast majority of Americans have no stocks.”

Moderate my ass!  He proves just how little some Dems care about the working class.  He is an idiot.

Schumer will face the party….Will the vote bee like normal…lots of harsh words and little action?
