Durbin need to resign so Pritzger can appoint a Senator with a spine until the Nov 2026 elections. Can't leave Durbin in office until he retires. Leave now!
Agreed! Gillibrand is such a disappointment!! Both need to be replaced. I'm looking forward to voting for Schumer's primary opponent, whoever it may be. We need real leadership & someone who understands what is happening to this country in this moment & will meet the challenge. We don't need backroom deals that feel like they are selling out the fighters in the party, the ones putting real political capital on the line for the right thing. This is how you disillusion Democrats.
I am celebrating and honoring all veterans who have served this country - including my dad who served in the US Navy during WWII. They were NEVER suckers and losers.
Both my late parents were WWII veterans - dad in the army in Europe and my mom a marine who worked in the Pentagon. My mom's next older brother was KIA and is buried in the Cambridge American Cemetary in Cambridge, England.
So I am honoring them and all the other veterans who served our country. I know my parents would have been appalled by Trump - especially his disrespect for those who served.
I’m bitterly disappointed in the 8 Dems who turned their backs on the American people by caving in to the Republicans.
I’m a proud Air Force veteran and I’m disgusted with this current administration filled with MAGA fools who think their “leader” has everyone’s backs… that dayglo orange Felon only cares about himself!
Thank you for your service Annette! I am with you on being bitterly disappointed by these 8 Dems. We must continue fighting back against the meanness of this administration. It is madness to have these people in charge of anything. I wouldn't let any of them babysit a child, or feed a pet, or house sit a plant!!! Think about it!! That is literally the truth.
I think they did the right thing: they made their point, even tRump realized they were hurting him. They knew when it was time to move on: too many people were hurting from the shut down, especially poorer Americans. Pretty brilliant moves, imho… Makes me pleased & proud to be a Democrat.
I am celebrating all of the many veterans in my family. They include my Daddy and my uncles who fought in WWII, my brothers, my husband, and my grandson. We are forever grateful.❤️
Yes, Democrats need a new leader who will carry our commitment to democracy, the rule of law, the protection from ICE and out of control deportations, and the justice for anyone who speaks freely under the first amendment and the whole Constitution of the United States - which I swore to protect under oath as a Federal employee for 31 years.
Everyone who voted with Republicans on the deal are out of touch. And we desperately need leaders who can corral folks in times like these. Chuck’s not that guy.
I honor today my Dad who served in the US Navy in the Korean War and World War II, and my brother-in-law who was shot and killed by a member of his own unit in Viet Nam.
I felt blind sided by their action, too Judy! What? ... they didn't see our No King's day rallies or our votes across the country last Tuesday? JUST a WEEK ago!!! "WE the PEOPLE" will get this straightened out! It may take a little time but, WE will do it!!
i am celebrating my husband who became permanently disabled due to service in Iraq. His invisible scars have affected him in multiple ways, some for good and some not for good. I admire his persistence in seeking to improve his and our lives. He is a wonderful human being.
I’m not impressed with Chuck. When we get control of the house. Someone needs to introduce Amendments for term limits and age limits. I’m 60 years old I’m not as sharp. Veterans Day should mean we actually take care of them. 🇺🇸☮️❤️. Thank you Scott
At 82+, I completely agree with both the age and term limits. IMO 3-4 terms is long enough. With 2 terms many in Congress can't finish what they've started and in their last term most would be busy campaigning for their next political run whether state or federal like they do in my term-limited state.
Democrats have needed new senate leadership for some time now…am celebrating the veterans in my family (Dad flew in WWII, uncle spent his career in the Navy), classmates who fought in Vietnam, and thousands before and since who have served our country
Schumer needs to go.NOW! The American people have been betrayed, AGAIN. We CANNOT give in to bullies! On another note, Happy Veterans Day to my veteran, Matthew Guarino.❤️🇺🇸❤️
Today we are focused on these three actions:
Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act: https://tinyurl.com/3yfw2m7a
Demand answers about Trump’s visibly deteriorating health: https://tinyurl.com/sk9xm38v
Pass bill on unmasking ICE and displaying clear ID here: https://tinyurl.com/bp8cau82
And may the Scotus decision strike the tariffs down.
Chuck Schumer needs to go. Like yesterday.
Durbin need to resign so Pritzger can appoint a Senator with a spine until the Nov 2026 elections. Can't leave Durbin in office until he retires. Leave now!
Precisely! I’m from Illinois and find it downright embarrassing and infuriating 🤬
As a New Yorker, I am so disappointed in both my senators. Gillibrand could not be quieter about any of this. I hope they both get challenged.
Agreed! Gillibrand is such a disappointment!! Both need to be replaced. I'm looking forward to voting for Schumer's primary opponent, whoever it may be. We need real leadership & someone who understands what is happening to this country in this moment & will meet the challenge.

" I'm looking forward to voting for Schumer's primary opponent, whoever it may be."
We'll have to wait until 2028 for that happy day—but maybe we can get rid of Trump and Schumer at the same time, which is a nice thought....
Same. I'm mortified. 💔🤬
It appears neither is up for reelection in 2026.

He should have left at least in 2015 he hasn't been much of a fighter for the people since then.
T.R.U.T.H‼️
I’m happy that Grijalva will finally be sworn in.
I am celebrating and honoring all veterans who have served this country - including my dad who served in the US Navy during WWII. They were NEVER suckers and losers.
I agree💯percent!

Thank you Annette for your service!
RECALL Petitions should be started asap for the 6 who are not up for relection in 2026
Senators cannot be recalled. They have to be expelled by their colleagues, by a 2/3 vote of the senate.
Thank you for your service Annette! I am with you on being bitterly disappointed by these 8 Dems. We must continue fighting back against the meanness of this administration. It is madness to have these people in charge of anything. I wouldn't let any of them babysit a child, or feed a pet, or house sit a plant!!! Think about it!! That is literally the truth.
Thanks for your service.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Thanks to your loved ones too.
I think they did the right thing: they made their point, even tRump realized they were hurting him. They knew when it was time to move on: too many people were hurting from the shut down, especially poorer Americans. Pretty brilliant moves, imho… Makes me pleased & proud to be a Democrat.
I think you are in a minority.
Chuck is a good man, but clearly a man out of time. We need a fighter like Senator Chris Van Hollen or Elizabeth Warren.
One of our great senators in Maryland!
I adore Jamie Raskin!
I am celebrating all of the many veterans in my family. They include my Daddy and my uncles who fought in WWII, my brothers, my husband, and my grandson. We are forever grateful.❤️
You must be soooo proud Jane!!! Please thank your family for me on this Veteran's Day!!!!
Please thank them. Thank you for your service too. You served just as much if your husband served and your grandson served.

Bless you Sally for your years of protecting our Constitution! We absolutely need to rein ICE in and that whole Department in!!
Thank you!
Everyone who voted with Republicans on the deal are out of touch. And we desperately need leaders who can corral folks in times like these. Chuck’s not that guy.

“Yes — Chuck Schumer voted “no.” But let’s not kid ourselves. I’ve been in those back-room meetings. Leadership can oppose something publicly while quietly orchestrating a few “brave souls” to take the tough votes. Usually it’s the newly elected, or those not running again — the expendables. It’s a managed retreat disguised as courage.” https://open.substack.com/pub/adamkinzinger/p/republicans-made-this-mess-democrats?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
Honoring mom and dad today,WWII Navy Veterans.❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Well said! This is a time to fight fire with fire! :-)
I honor today my Dad who served in the US Navy in the Korean War and World War II, and my brother-in-law who was shot and killed by a member of his own unit in Viet Nam.
I can’t believe the 8 Democrats voted with the Republican robots who follow the Gilded Clown.
I felt blind sided by their action, too Judy! What? ... they didn't see our No King's day rallies or our votes across the country last Tuesday? JUST a WEEK ago!!! "WE the PEOPLE" will get this straightened out! It may take a little time but, WE will do it!!
Notice: none are up for re-election next year. 2 are retiring. All of the 8 got $$$$$$$$ from American Airlines. It shows you what they value.
Not surprisingly NONE are up for reelection.
By design. They think we, the unwashed wouldn't immediately figure it out
I honor all our Veterans for their service🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
i am celebrating my husband who became permanently disabled due to service in Iraq. His invisible scars have affected him in multiple ways, some for good and some not for good. I admire his persistence in seeking to improve his and our lives. He is a wonderful human being.
What a great post. Your husband was and is a brave man. You are right to be proud. We are lucky to have Americans like the two of you.
Enjoy the holiday.
You served just as much, if your husband did. Thanks to both of you for your service and sacrifices.
Thank you for your service!
Yes to new leadership in the Senate.
I’m not impressed with Chuck. When we get control of the house. Someone needs to introduce Amendments for term limits and age limits. I’m 60 years old I’m not as sharp. Veterans Day should mean we actually take care of them. 🇺🇸☮️❤️. Thank you Scott
Totally agree.. Term limits and age limits for all elected officials!
At 82+, I completely agree with both the age and term limits. IMO 3-4 terms is long enough. With 2 terms many in Congress can't finish what they've started and in their last term most would be busy campaigning for their next political run whether state or federal like they do in my term-limited state.
60!? 60 is the new 40, girl!
