Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.
Guys, you just don’t understand. His job, as he stated, is “to fight like hell for Israel.” This other stuff is just peanuts for him.
Not just Israel. He’s also here for the Baileys!
From Wikipedia:
Schumer has long claimed that his political decisions are guided by an imaginary middle-class couple, Joe and Eileen Bailey (initially O’Reilly), swing voters living in the Long Island suburb of Massapequa
Specifically an imaginary couple who voted for Trump twice. His guiding imaginary couple are Republicans.
Fuck those people. I’m from long island, I know people from Massapequa. They probably love ICE.
I’m from long Island
Sorry to hear that mate.
Maybe he needs to go be a politician in Israel then because I’d prefer that he “fight like hell” for the US at the moment.
Even better, Trump takes the focus off Gaza, that’s a big win for Schumer.
Maybe he should join the Knesset if he cares more for Israel than the US.
It’s a conflict of interest for sure.
Chuck is a big reason in the rise of Trumpism. He has been weak and only cares about Israel.
How sad you all assume he’s not corrupt and is just taking in big $.
Um Ackshually, he doesn’t seem to be taking in big $, at least according to his financial disclosures (PDF). Most recent estimates of his net worth are in the $7 million range, but that also counts his house in Park Slope, which is probably worth over $3mil now but I doubt he paid that. And a bunch more is in his retirement account. He’s not struggling by any means, but he doesn’t have “Fuck You” money like Elon has.
There are a lot of memes going around about how rich some of these politicians are but they are mostly fake
He cares about his fictional moderate Republican family.
AoC needs to primary him
Attack on Chuck?
Exactly.
Sie sind das Essen und ich bin der Cortez!
(Sorry to German speakers, I don’t speak it)
He doesn’t work for the American people he works for Israel
Duh. Schumer works for Israel, not the USA.
House Democrats found themselves in the familiar position this week of seething at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for negotiating a deal with Republicans to keep the government funded.
Why it matters: While his caucus remains behind him, Schumer is becoming persona non grata for much of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
“I’m gonna continue to tell you that Schumer needs to get the hell out over and over and over until he does,” Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) told Axios. “He continues to demonstrate to us that he can’t meet the moment,” she added. Another House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to offer insights into private conversations among lawmakers, told Axios: “The main feeling among members is a lack of trust in his strength and ability to strike a hard bargain.” State of play: The House voted Tuesday to pass an appropriations package that funds the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, State and Transportation until September.
It also keeps the Department of Homeland Security funded at 2025 levels until Feb. 13, which is meant to give Senate Democrats and the White House enough time to hash out a final deal on ICE and Customs and Border Protection reforms. But while Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have said they won’t accept anything short of reforms of those agencies, their GOP counterparts have cast doubt on the prospect of a quick deal. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) went so far as to tell reporters that a deal by Feb. 13 was an “impossibility,” floating a year-long stopgap funding bill to keep DHS open. What they’re saying: Jeffries has essentially threatened to allow a DHS shutdown if his demands aren’t met, saying in a statement Tuesday, “Absent bold and meaningful change, there is no credible path forward with respect to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill next week.”
But Schumer, asked if he would make the same ultimatum at a press conference with Jeffries on Wednesday, told reporters, “I’m just going to say we’re sending them a proposal and we await their response.” Senate Democrats — unlike their House counterparts — have the ability to block a DHS funding bill because it takes a 60-vote majority to pass it in the upper chamber. What we’re hearing: Some Democrats, worried that the threat of a DHS shutdown is not enough to force Republicans to the table, feel Schumer gave up the party’s best leverage by cutting a deal to reopen the rest of the government.
“Every time that we are winning, we seem to somehow sabotage [it],” Ramirez fumed, noting that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has already ruled out several Democratic demands.
Said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.): “Personally I was of the opinion … that, ‘What are we going to get in 10 days that we didn’t get?’” A second House Democrat who spoke on the condition of anonymity told Axios that “all those spending bills, that is the most leverage,” and that “many folks in the [House] Democratic caucus wish that we had more confidence in Schumer’s ability to navigate a good, tough deal.” Yes, but: Some progressive House Democrats are still confident that the DHS bill is enough leverage to secure some concessions.
“I don’t think Republicans want a DHS shutdown,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told Axios. She added: “If Donald Trump wants to … issue the State of the Union with the entire Department of Homeland Security shut down, I think that is a terrible indictment of his leadership. And I do think they care.” Jayapal and Rep. Chuy García (D-Ill.) both argued that public opinion against ICE is another piece of leverage for Democrats, with García telling Axios: “They 'ought to be worried how their policies are faring with the American people.” The bottom line: “It could be a huge failure” for Senate Democrats, Ocasio-Cortez says, if they fail to secure the reforms the party are demanding.
“The stakes are quite high.”
Schumer is hand-in-hand with the republicans. What they can’t win, he loses for the democrats.
I have held my nose and voted for this rat-fuck in every election of my adult life. I keep hoping someone who actually cares about New Yorkers will primary him.
You can do more than hope. Find a qualified challenger and volunteer on their campaign if you have the time. Stump for them in your area.
Only way to get elected if you’re north of Westchester County is to get appointed to the position first.
I wish I was exaggerating, but Hillary Clinton and Bobby Kennedy are the only non-NYC/non-incumbent senators the state has elected in nearly 70 years.
Mamdani is proof that NYC is ready to embrace a non establishment Democrat. I hope a good challenger to Schumer emerges
AOC polls way better than Schumer among all registered voters in New York (yes, including Republicans). She’s going to primary him in 2028.
Wish it could be sooner, but her success can leverage off Mamdani’s progress, should all go well…
What a primaryable face.

Get rid of him and they’ll replace a mirror image of him. The same way they replaced Pelosi with a black to version of Pelosi.
Get the fuck out chuck and move to Israel you will be accepted there.
He’s an active traitor. Insidious.
Dems are a dead end.
