After a week of conservatives tearing each other apart over Tucker Carlson, etc., it’s nice to see the Democrats take their turn:
A backlash has been brewing against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for possibly striking a deal to end the government shutdown.
As reports surfaced on Sunday of a pending deal between Republicans and Democrats, opponents of the deal immediately voiced their disdain for Chuck Schumer on social media, accusing him of acquiescing to Republican demands. . . .
According to NBC News, the U.S. senators reached a “tentative deal” to end the government shutdown.
“Senators struck an agreement Sunday, projecting confidence that it will be sufficient to end the lengthy U.S. government shutdown, three sources with direct knowledge of the details told NBC News,” it reported.
“The agreement, reached by a group of Democrats who teamed up with Republicans, cleared the first hurdle on a vote of 60-40 to advance in a late-night Senate vote. If it’s approved, it would then need to pass the House and gain President Donald Trump’s signature to become law and reopen the government,” it added.
Later Sunday, the Senate voted to end the filibuster:
A disastrous shutdown for Democrats got worse Sunday when Senate Democrats folded on government funding while receiving nothing of substance in return.
Eight Senate Democrats voted with 52 Republicans Sunday night on a procedural vote to allow a continuing resolution (CR) funding the government to advance.
The motion passed 60 to 40, without a single vote to spare, and will enable a future vote on a clean continuing resolution through January 30, 2026, packaged with three relatively non-controversial appropriations bills extending through the fiscal year: agriculture, military construction-Veterans Affairs, and legislative branch.
The agreement includes back pay for federal employees and guarantees that the 4,000-plus federal employees laid off during the shutdown will be rehired, as well as a blanket prohibition on future reductions in force through January 30. Those jobs are a drop in the bucket compared to the 250,000 or so the Trump administration eliminated before the shutdown.
Most significantly, the agreement does not guarantee an extension of Covid-era enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies, with Democrats only receiving assurances of a vote on a bill of their choice.

Chuck Schumer led Democrats in voting for the longest shutdown in history, and now they’re all denouncing him as a traitor:
Democrats and progressives exploded with outrage after the Senate took a giant step toward reopening the government Sunday night, with many calling for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s ouster.
Schumer (D-NY), who voted against the bipartisan package to end the longest government shutdown in US history, was slammed for failing to prevent five Democratic defections that allowed the measure to advance, despite Republicans making no concessions on keeping Obamacare subsidies due to expire at the end of this year.
“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) chided on X. “If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?”
“Tonight is another example of why we need new leadership,” jeered Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), who launched his primary challenge to Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) last month, on X. “If @ChuckSchumer were an effective leader, he would have united his caucus to vote ‘No’ tonight and hold the line on healthcare.
“Maybe now @EdMarkey will finally join me in pledging not to vote for Schumer [as conference leader after the 2026 elections]?”
Democrats have been acting this way for 20 years, going back to the G.W. Bush administration, which is when young leftists started calling themselves “progressives” to differentiate themselves from regular liberals (e.g., Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton) who had supported Bush on the Iraq war. Whenever a Republican is in the White House, the left wing of the Democratic Party — especially the always-online activist types — demand that Democrats in Congress fight! fight! fight!
This kind of maximum-resistance stance is easy for people whose only stake in the game is social media clicks, or for congressional Democrats elected from deep-blue states or districts. The problem comes in swing states and districts, where being a “common-sense” Democrat is much closer to what the voters want, and where voting to shut down the government makes you look like an extremist. One could speak of similar tendencies on the Republican side, but Democrats have been wrecked time and time again by this fight! fight! fight! mentality — they won a congressional majority in 2006, then lost the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. Four years later, Democrats won a majority again in the 2018 midterms, only to lose both the House and Senate in 2022.
So now, having demanded that Schumer and the Senate shut down the government — while trying to blame Republicans — now the “progressive” grassroots of the Democratic Party are ready to ditch Schumer because he ended the shutdown without getting anything substantial as a consequence. It’s a beautiful thing, to watch your enemies waging war against each other. Let’s hope they keep it up.
The government shutdown cave might be the end of Chuck Schumer as Senate leader. Whether he secretly encouraged the deal to end the shutdown or was too weak to stop it, he needs to take the fall to keep Democrats united. https://t.co/WxJy5g3yBJ

AOC reportedly called Chuck Schumer tonight, and according to a source close to the conversation, berated him for over an hour in an expletive-laden call. At several points, she called him a “weak beta btch,” “fcking useless,” and vowed to take his job.
