I smell a Democrat Civil War! To make it more delicious it’s over a spending bill that the Democrats loved and voted for last year!
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for voicing his yes vote for the continuing resolution (CR). Colleagues supposedly have been pushing her to primary Schumer.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries ignored a question about Schumer:
REPORTER: “Is it time for new leadership in the Senate?”JEFFRIES: “Next question.”
The latest Democrat to go against Schumer? House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). She wrote on X, of course making it about sex:
Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered the Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America.Let’s be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable.I salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill.Democratic senators should listen to the women. Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement.America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way. Listen to the women, For The People.

As I wrote earlier, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) reminded everyone, CR is a “Continuation of the Biden-Schumer-Johnson 2024 spending agenda for the first 9 months of Trump’s presidency.”
I also find it funny that they’re attacking Schumer.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said he would vote for the CR if the House approved it.
Schumer’s New York colleague Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand sounds like she will vote for the CR or at least to break the filibuster.
