Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, a skillful legislator and mover when there are Presidents who care about the country (Obama and Biden) is no longer the man to lead Senate Democrats during the Musk/Trump/Vance MAGA Central Committee Push to American Fascist-Autocracy.
His announcement, after virtually all of his Democratic Senate and House Colleagues declared their opposition to the MAGA Continuing Resolution to support that measure to avoid a government shutdown, signals the need for new leadership in the Democratic Senate ranks.
In his remarks in the Senate and in a well-articulated op-ed for the New York Times, Schumer, in a no-win situation, outlined several reasons for supporting the Continuing Resolution, including that Musk, Trump, and their MAGA apostates in Congress would love a shutdown because they would use it as an excuse to impose permanent cutbacks in the government departments they loathe.
One reaction to Schumer's reasoning should be: Unless there is some secret Democratic master plan no one knows about, what the hell do you think Trump and his allies have been doing since he forgot to put his hand on the Bible last January 20?
There has been nothing but nonstop attempts to destroy government departments, institutions, and Democratic norms since the MAGA crowd resumed power at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The Courts are intervening, but the Musk/Trump/Vance Central Committee is slow-walking compliance with their orders.
Shutdown or no shutdown, the American People are going to suffer.
The mission of the opposition party is to oppose. Not like Newt Gingrich or Mitch McConnell, who would have gone against Bill Clinton or Barack Obama if they found the cure for cancer but oppose disastrous policies for the American People.
This Continuing Resolution, with its cutbacks and language giving Musk/Trump/Vance latitude to prioritize spending, is a disastrous policy.
There are some fights worth having, and this is it.
If leaders from Canada and Mexico can push back on the American Duce, why not the Democratic Senate Leader from New York?

Read Representative Yassamin Ansari's below post:
The Continuing Resolution should be voted down and if Chuck Schumer does not have the strength to fight, then Democrats need to have a new leader that has the stomach for it.
If Chuck Schumer, as Representative Ansari said, can not meet history's moment, it is time for him to go.
It is time to stand up to the b
