Schumer backed down and framed the CR as a win.

Schumer backs down on shutdown threat, giving Senate Republicans a political win

Senate Democrats abandoned months of brinkmanship and backed a bipartisan spending bill to keep the government open, a retreat that Senate Majority Leader John Thune says was driven by cold electoral math ahead of the midterm elections.

The Senate advanced a continuing resolution on Saturday to avert yet another government shutdown, with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his caucus supporting the measure after weeks of resistance. The CR would fund federal agencies at current levels through December 11, pushing the next budget fight past Election Night and into a lame-duck session of Congress.

CR stands for a continuing resolution. It is a temporary emergency spending bill that funds federal government operations and prevents a government shutdown when regular annual appropriations bills have not been passed by the October 1 start of the fiscal year.

Thune told Fox News Digital that Democrats made a political calculation, not a principled one. He said the minority party did not want to spend the next three months fending off Republican attacks over a shutdown they could have prevented.

"I think they didn't want to spend the next, well... three months defending attacks from Republicans about wanting to shut the government down."

Thune went further, describing his Democratic colleagues as operators who live and die by polling data.

Democrats rally behind Maine candidate Graham Platner despite sexting scandal

Graham Platner, the Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, showed up on Capitol Hill Tuesday to meet with party leaders, not to answer questions about reports that he sent sexually explicit text messages to multiple women early in his marriage, but to collect handshakes and reassurances that the party still has his back. He got both.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer met with Platner and afterward told reporters he stands by his endorsement. He did not, however, answer questions about whether the revelations concern him or whether he found Platner's explanations satisfactory. NBC News reported that Schumer simply dodged those inquiries and repeated his campaign line.

The pattern tells you everything. Reports emerged over the weekend that Platner's own wife privately alerted a campaign official that her husband had sent sexually explicit texts to other women. Not one Democratic senator has pulled support. And the candidate himself left the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee headquarters, after spending more than ninety minutes inside, without saying a single word to reporters shouting questions at him.

Schumer kept it short and vague when pressed by the Capitol Hill press corps.

"I endorsed Graham Platner. We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate."

That was the full extent of his public commentary on a scandal that, in any other cycle and involving any other party, would have triggered wall-to-wall cable coverage and editorial demands for accountability.

Schumer endorses the Creep

Schumer Backs Platner Despite Nazi Tattoo Scandal

and all the other scandals

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stood by Democrat Graham Platner on Tuesday even as reporters pressed him about the Maine candidate’s growing list of controversies. Schumer was asked point-blank whether he was satisfied with Platner’s explanations, but he did not really engage the questions head-on.

Instead, Schumer kept repeating the same message about the race in Maine. “I met with Graham Platner today, we’re going to beat [Sen.] Susan Collins and take back the Senate.”

The senator was asked again and again if he still supported Platner after the latest headlines. Reporters also asked whether Democrats were hurting their own credibility by backing Platner while attacking Texas Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton over similar kinds of scandal-driven baggage. Schumer did not answer those questions directly.

Schumer's slip of the tongue

Trump trolls Schumer after Senate Democrat nearly calls for funding ICE on the floor

Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor Saturday to rail against Republicans over the DHS funding lapse and, in a moment that wrote its own punchline, accidentally said the quiet part out loud.

"WE MUST FUND ICE," the Senate Minority Leader declared, before catching himself and correcting the line to "We must fund TSA now."

President Trump noticed. Fox News reported that by Sunday morning, he had posted on Truth Social, noting that Schumer got "discombobulated" on the floor. His follow-up was two words of bipartisan agreement that Democrats will not appreciate:

"Thank you Chuck, I agree!"

It was a small moment, but a revealing one. The slip exposed the absurd tightrope Senate Democrats have been walking since February, when they agreed to fund most of the federal government while deliberately withholding money from the Department of Homeland Security.

How to get the Save Act passed

John Kennedy Just Disclosed the JD Vance Trick That Could Save the SAVE Act

John Kennedy stood on the Senate floor Wednesday and said seven words Chuck Schumer never wanted to hear.

“We can pass this bill with 50 votes.” And the move he just laid out could flip the entire SAVE Act fight before Democrats know what hit them. He’s talking about budget reconciliation – the same procedural weapon Democrats used in 2010 to ram through Obamacare after they lost their 60-vote Senate supermajority.

Here’s how it works. Budget reconciliation bills can’t be filibustered. They require only 51 votes – or 50 with JD Vance breaking the tie. Democrats used it to transform one-sixth of the American economy without a single Republican vote. Now Kennedy is asking why Republicans can’t use the exact same tool to require proof of citizenship to vote.

The SAVE America Act is simple: if you want to vote in a federal election, prove you’re a citizen. That’s it.

The House passed it in February. Every Senate Republican except Lisa Murkowski voted to advance debate this week. And Democrats are filibustering it like their lives depend on it – because their electoral survival does.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who spent years telling Americans that only citizens vote, is now leading the charge to block a bill that would simply verify that claim. He told reporters his caucus is “prepared for every possible scenario” to kill it. Not slow it down. Kill it.

Majority Leader John Thune controls 53 Republican seats. He needs 60 votes to break the filibuster. He doesn’t have them – and he’s said repeatedly he won’t blow up the filibuster rule to get there.

Schumer and the Save America Act

Chuck Schumer Announced a Voter Roll Figure That Has the Whole Country Laughing

Chuck Schumer just told reporters that a common-sense voter ID bill would wipe out a number of voters that doesn't exist on planet Earth.

Standing before cameras this week, the Senate minority leader warned that the SAVE America Act would allow ICE to remove an impossible figure from voter rolls.

What he said next has Republicans asking one very uncomfortable question about what Democrats actually know is sitting on those rolls. Schumer's Number Was Bigger Than the World's Population.

Schumer didn't hold back at his press conference. The SAVE America Act, he insisted, "allows ICE to kick tens of billions of people off the rolls, off the rolls."

There are roughly 8 billion people on Earth. The United States has approximately 160 million registered voters.

Tens of billions.

What Planet is Schumer living on?

Senator Mike Lee Calls Schumer’s ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Attack on Voter ID Bill ‘Paranoid Fantasy’

Every American knows the drill. You show ID to board a plane, buy a beer, pick up a prescription, or walk into a federal building. Try cashing a check without one. Good luck. Try starting a new job without proving who you are—your HR department will show you the door before you find your desk.

These requirements exist because identity verification matters. Nobody seriously argues otherwise.

Yet when it comes to voting—the very foundation of our constitutional republic—suddenly Democrats discover that proving you are who you say you are constitutes an unconscionable burden. Funny how that works.

The Senate is currently locked in battle over the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. The legislation would require photo ID to vote in federal elections and proof of citizenship to register.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has branded this common-sense measure “Jim Crow 2.0,” dragging out the darkest chapter of American segregation to describe a bill that simply asks voters to do what they already do at the DMV.

The comparison isn’t just wrong. It’s an insult to the Americans who actually suffered under Jim Crow laws.

Democrat's Hypocrisy on Voter ID

Gutfeld Exposes Democrats’ Voter ID Hypocrisy

Democrats loudly oppose voter ID laws and we know why. Polling shows most Americans back them. That includes Black and Latino voters. The numbers are plain.

On his show, Greg Gutfeld called out the obvious contradiction. He didn’t soften it. He put it right on the table.

“You got to hand it to the Democrats,” he said. “On one hand, they think a child can handle the decision to lop off their genitals, but then on the other, they think black people can’t get a photo ID.”

Gutfeld then played a clip of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer railing against voter ID bills. “The SAVE Act is an abomination,” Schumer declared. “It’s Jim Crow 2.0 across the country.” Schumer went on to vow, “We are going to do everything we can to stop it.”

Gutfeld pointed out everyday life that already requires ID. You need one to buy certain medicines. You need one to rent a truck. You need one for lots of simple tasks. Voting should be the same.

He also cited polling that undercuts the claim that voter ID is a fringe demand. “85% of white people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favor it,” the CNN data analyst reported, adding that “the bottom line is this: voter ID is not controversial in this country.”

Chuckie Schumer and Dems Hypocrisy

Dems start fundraising off Maduro arrest

Up until Trump arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, everyone agreed this was a bad man.

In fact, when Trump was about to leave office after his first term, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) obliterated Trump on the Senate floor for not having his regime removed. Now, however, Democrats want to impeach Trump over this, and they are using the arrest to fundraise against the bad orange man.

After Donald Trump gave his State of the Union (SOTU) address in 2020, Schumer went nuclear on the floor.

He stated, "Maybe his best metaphor was his claim to bring democracy to Venezuela. There’s a big policy there. It flopped.”

He continued, "The president brags about his Venezuela policy? Give us a break. He hasn’t brought an end to the Maduro regime.”

Schumer then stated, “The Maduro regime is more powerful today and more entrenched today than it was when the president began his anti-Maduro. Same thing with North Korea, same thing with China, same thing with Russia. Same thing with Syria."

After the arrest, Schumer’s history would have one believe he would have been excited about the arrest, but that was not the case.

While there have been a limited number of Democrats who did support the arrest, most are pushing the same narrative as Schumer, and now we know why… they are fundraising off this.

Should Chuck be put out to pasture?

Chuck Schumer Should Be Humanely Euthanized*

Nearly a dozen congressional Democrats agree (*politically/metaphorically, of course)

"74-year-old Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer just crashed his party’s car so badly that it’s time to take his keys away. And not when he’s up for reelection in three years. Now.

After plunging the country into its longest government shutdown ever, eight Senate members from the Democratic Party caucus folded on Sunday, joining their Republican colleagues in voting to open the federal government.

The defections took place without any meaningful healthcare concessions — the whole point of the shutdown in the first place — and in a clear break with the rest of the Party, most notably helpless Chuck.

This is far from Schumer’s only car crash as leader, but this time many of his insurers in the Democratic Party seem unwilling to cover the damages. Nearly a dozen House Democrats are calling for his ouster. These are not just progressives, but moderates too, like Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Mike Levin of California, and Glenn Ivey of Maryland.

No one wants to put a beloved pet down; Schumer’s leadership, however, is not engendering much love these days. He registers the lowest approval rating of any Democratic Senate Leader in recorded history. It’s time for his political career to cross the rainbow bridge."

Calls to Replace Democratic Leader Schumer

Schumer Slammed by Progressive Critics

The discontent with Schumer has spilled over onto social media, especially on platforms like BlueSky, where left-leaning commentators are tearing into him for what they perceive as a weak stance against Republican demands.

One BlueSky user threw a particularly pointed jab, saying, “Chuck Schumer makes Neville Chamberlain look like Mike Tyson,” suggesting the senator’s approach to deal-making lacks the necessary fight.

That’s a biting comparison with historical weight, but it raises a fair point: did Schumer concede too much in a rush to resolve the crisis, or is this simply the gritty reality of hammering out a bipartisan solution?

The criticism isn’t just sharp-tongued commentary—some on the left are pushing for Schumer to be ousted from his role as Senate Minority Leader.

Another user on BlueSky demanded action, stating, “If democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out Chuck Schumer as party minority leader.”

Democrats Evil Political Stunt

Fox News Host Exposes The Real Reason For the Shutdown

As the dust settles on the longest government shutdown in American history, a clear and damning truth has emerged, cutting through the fog of liberal media spin.

The 40-day ordeal, which inflicted unnecessary hardship on millions of Americans, was never about principled policy debates. As seasoned Fox News analyst Brit Hume masterfully articulated, the entire disastrous episode was nothing more than a political stunt by Democrats desperate to position themselves in a state of perpetual resistance to President Donald J. Trump.

In a segment that laid bare the core motivation behind the Democratic Party’s strategy, Hume dissected the failed logic of the shutdown from its very inception.

“Well, this whole shutdown was a fool’s errand from the start,” Hume stated, exposing the cynical calculus of the Democratic leadership. He explained the fundamental flaw in their plan: “This strategy has been tried a number of times before where you try to use the government shutdown and the pressure to get the government reopened as a lever to get something done you couldn’t get done by the normal process because you didn’t have the votes. It has never worked.”

This admission reveals that Chuck Schumer and his caucus were willing to bring the federal government to a grinding halt in pursuit of a tactic with a perfect record of failure.

CBS Heavily edits Trump's Interview

Chuck Schumer Threatens To File Complaint Over Trump 60 Minutes Interview

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) mocked President Trump, suggesting he may file a complaint with the federal government over the editing of an interview President Trump gave to “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday evening.

“Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview,” Schumer wrote in a post on X. “It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris.”

The White House promoted the sit-down Monday morning, calling it a “powerful interview” that the president used to “showcase record stock market gains, global peace breakthroughs, and his unwavering commitment to law and order.”

“Highlighting these remarkable successes, President Trump made clear to Democrats: reopen the government and work with him to keep America on the path to even greater prosperity and security,” the White House said.

Trump taped more than 70 minutes with journalist Norah O’Donnell at his Mar-a-Lago estate for Sunday’s broadcast, but viewers reportedly only saw roughly 30 minutes of that footage. CBS has posted both the broadcast version and the full interview on YouTube, as well as a full transcript of the interview.
