Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.
And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.
They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.
Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

If Schumer votes in favour then he is a pathetic coward, a weak ass leader, not what the Democrats need right now, it is people like him as to why so many people are apathetic about voting Democrats, because people like him show absolutely no fight, they rollover like dogs at the first challenge, they will scream "threat to democracy!" and then actively help Republicans dismantle the system, if Schumer in favour then he is complicit in everything that Republicans do, I hope AOC primaries his ass. I expected this shit from that prick Fetterman but not Schumer. Schumer is simply controlled opposition, not actually real opposition.
