Bill to avert shutdown passes 54-46 but furious progressives accuse yes-vote senators of acquiescing to Trump

Summary

Democratic divisions intensified as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Pelosi sharply criticized Chuck Schumer for supporting a Republican-led funding bill to avoid a government shutdown.

AOC called Schumer’s decision a “betrayal,” urging Senate Democrats to reject the legislation backed by Trump and Elon Musk. Pelosi called the bill a “devastating assault” on working families.

Schumer defended his stance, arguing a shutdown would empower Trump and Musk further.

The controversy sparked suggestions among Democrats that AOC might challenge Schumer in a primary.

          Some people get mistaken. I haven’t been pushing for the dnc for 8 years because I think they are great people. I think they are very very flawed and find no reason to elaborate on that any longer. The point was always to protect my freedoms and the freedoms of others by stopping the spread of MAGA. Calling them NAZIs is a curtesy for people who aren’t reading about them in history books. MAGA will suffice when all is said and done.

          I’ll be defiant towards MAGA until I’m dead. That’s just who I am. When the polls open I’ll vote repub lite if that’s the group that stands a chance. The DNC don’t represent me. They can try to “win my vote” but they are far from earning it.

          So either way, people, you have to decide. If the DNC some how stops MAGA in it’s tracks, how will you then deal with the DNC? I will die disgruntled and my only hope that there is still places where people like me can be disgruntled too.
