***IMMEDIATE ACTION***SCHUMER must GO [3-28-25]
Two weeks ago, Schumer’s Democratic Caucus had the chance, by playing procedural hardball, to signal their opposition to Trump/Musk’s usurpation of Congress’ spending power and possibly to slow their radical anti-government agenda. Had they used their rare leverage to filibuster the CR, they could have demanded safeguards against Musk’s slash-and-burn tactics and Trump’s authoritarian ambitions—or at least stopped Republicans from making things worse
Instead, ignoring their constituents’ and House Democrats’ pleas, and the CR’s extreme harm to American families, Schumer and nine other out-of-touch colleagues abandoned the people they swore to represent and gave up Democrats’ only real chance to push back—since Republicans are planning to include the debt-limit increase in the upcoming filibuster-proof budget reconciliation bill.
In so doing, they facilitated, rather than opposed, Project 2025’s and Trump/Musk’s plans to dismantle, loot, and privatize the federal government.
For months, ordinary Americans, aghast at the widespread pain being inflicted by this cruel agenda and at the intentional destruction of democratic norms have been urging our Members of Congress to use every tool at their disposal to fight back. House Democrats got the message, but Schumer clearly did not.
We need leaders who understand the emergency we’re in, are willing to engage with the realities of the present and can match the fervor of the ordinary Americans rising up to defend our communities, our constitution, our democracy, and our way of life—and the first step down this path is finding new leaders.
Our MoCs in both chambers need to hear every day that Schumer must go. During these calls, let’s also thank our Democratic Representatives for courageously rejecting the MAGA playbook and urge them to keep fighting to protect us.
