Donald Trump Controls The White House. Republic Control the House of Representatives and the Senate. AS The President and His Administration The Federal Government, The Shred of Power Democrats Still Have is the Senate Filibuster, Which they coulo Use on Friday to block The Republic continuing Resolution to keep the government open.
They're not going to do that, though.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) Made Clear On Thursday That He Will Vote in Favor of the Gop's Plan, Which Gives Trump and Elon Musk the Power to Raid Congress Congally Appropriate TaxPayer Money. Schumer's Reasoning, as he outlined in an op-and for The New York Timesis That Trump and Musk Cound inflict Maximum damage in a shutdown, which would give them “Wide-Renging Authority to deem Whole agencies, programs, and personnel ninth, furloough staff members with no promise they would ever be rehired.”
Trump is pleasd. “CONGGRULATIONS TO CHUCK SCHUER FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING – TOOK 'GUTS' and COORAGE!” He Wrote Friday on Truth Social. “The Big Tax Cuts, the Fire Fix, Debt ceiling Bill, and So Much More, is coming. We Should All Work Together On That Very Dancerous Situation. A Non Pass would be a country right, approval will lead us to new heights. Again, Really Good and Smart Move by Senator Schumer. This Couuld Lead to Something Big For the USA, A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION AND BEGINNING! Djt ”
Trump and Musk Are Almedey Deeming Whole Agencies, Programs, and Personnel Nonessential. They have fired Tens of Thousands of Federal Workers with no Basis, and are plotting additional massive repurations in force. They have alo also to claw back fund appropriate by Congress, A Strategy Known as “impoundment,” Which is a Direct Challenge to the power of the Purso The Constitution Grants to Congress. The Trump Administration and Republic Have Made Clear That the Gop's Continuing Resolution would at the President to Keep impounding Fund, Which is Why all But One House Democrat Opposed the Spending Bill.
Schumer's Decision to Allaw the Measure Through is Not Going Over Well – To Say the Least – With Scores of His ColleAguas Venting Their Frustration That The Party's Leader is Abicating What Little Power The Party Still Has by Allawing Trump and Republican to Keep The Government Open ON THEIR OWN TERMS, and Continue Trump and Musk's Slash-and-Burn approach. “If you do Nothing, You Sit Back and Say It's Gonna Be Terrible – and that's Right, A Shutdown Will Be Terrible – But Our Job is to put the onus on the Republican President, The Republican House, The Republican Senate, The People Who Control the Government,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-vt.) Said Thursday night on MSNBC. “They are responsible.”
Sanders is one of Several Democratic Senatorors Who Said On Thursday That they will vote Against the Republican Cr. Republicans Only Need the vote of Seven or Eight Democratic Senators to Get to the 60 votes they need to pass the CR, Though, and it's More That Likely at Least Many Will Follow Schumer's Lead and Agree to the Gop's Terms to Fund the Government.
The Sente Will Vote for the Cr On Friday After Nearly Every House Democrat Voted Against It Earlier This Week. Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (DN.Y.) Usuary Present A United, Establishment-Approversd Front-But Not This Time. “We Strongly opposed The Partisan and Harmful Republic Spending Bill,” Jeffries Wrote Thursday Night, NOting that Trump and Republican are “Crashing the Economy” While Taking A “Chainsaw” to Social Services in Order to Fund A Tax Cut For The Wealthy. “We will not be complicit,” Jeffries Wrote.
Jeffries' Sentiment has Been Echoed by the rest of the house Democratic Caucus, Perhaps Most Pointedly by Rep. Alexandria OCASIO-CORTEZ (DN.Y.), Who Described “Deep Sense of Outrace and Betrayal” While Speaking to reporters on Thursday. She Edated During An appearance on cnn. “The Strength of Our Leadership in This Moment is Going to demonstrate The Strength of Our Caucus,” She Said. “I Cannot urgent enough How Bad of an idea it is to empower and enable donald trump and elon musk in this moment. It is as dangerous as it is reckless. ”
Cnn Later Reported About Howo Ocasio-Cortez Is Rallying An Opposition to Schumer, and that Democrats are Privatelo Encouraging Her to Run Against Schumer To Replace Him in the Senate. Schumer Is Not Up For Reelection Until 2028, but the indignation at Schumer's decision is roiling across Social Media, AS Well, and in Liberal Advocacy Groups, With Ezra Levin, The Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, Deeming it the “Schumer Surrenter,” for Political.
Republicans have Also Been Responding to the Democratic Leader's decision to Greenlight the Spending Bill. “Schumer Caved. Trump Won, “The House Judiciacy Gop Wrote On X.” Incredible. “
