Thanks, I also tried calling Schumer this morning and couldn’t get through so I sent a message through his online form that I have been a long time supporter of his, but if he votes Yes on the GOP bill. I will never support him again. Please vote NO on cloture and the Republican spending bill!

He needs to go NOW, what a TRAITOR! Weak Chuckie has betrayed his own party. Watch out because it looks like Gavin Newsome is caving to their rhetoric also.

Schumer is not a traitor. He prevented a shutdown because with a shutdown, Trump would close for good all the agencies he doesn't like and destroy them and fire the judges that don't rule his way. That would make things much worse.

Trump cannot fire federal judges. That would be illegal and I am sure the judges would not let him do that.

It was my understanding that this budget severely or completely defunds many agencies. Maybe I am missing something:

"Trump would close for good all agencies he does not like."

The president does not have the power to close agencies, right? That's a power of the legislature. Why should Democrats help them defend and cripple the agencies giving it the appearance of bipartisanship? Can you walk me through this logic?

" And fire the judges that don't rule his way"

I am having trouble seeing the connection between passing a CR and firing judges. What's the connection between Trump's ability to fire judges and the budget: could you elaborate?
