And @indivisibleteam is done with #ChuckSchumer. From their latest email: "This was a massive betrayal of the Democratic party, of Indivisibles and activists organizing against this bill, and of our #democracy. Because of Schumer’s failure, the bill included zero safeguards against #Musk’s illegal and unconstitutional behavior. By refusing to hold the line, Senator #Schumer went against the vast majority of his party to fully capitulate to #Trump."

Appeasement Is Failing: Why Fighting Back Against Trump Is The Only Option -
Written by Jessica Washington for The Intercept

Following Chuck Schumer total capitulation to Trump over the budget, playing nice is not an option (probably never was against Trump at least). Everything you can think of to appease the beast will only feed it a bit more, and it will want even more from you.

“Conceding to the authoritarian agenda won’t save us. The more we willingly give bullies, the more they forcibly take,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., in a statement to The Intercept.

Chuck #Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

It's almost like none of these people actually care in the least about fighting antisemitism.

===

But while showcasing his media appearances and sharing other pro-Trump viewpoints on X, Terrell also re-posted two accounts with a history of promoting antisemitism earlier this week.

First, on Wednesday, Terrell re-posted a comment by Patrick Casey, the former leader of the now-defunct white nationalist group Identity Evropa, whose members chanted, “Jews will not replace us,” during the violent 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Casey’s post nested a video of President Trump calling Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) “a Palestinian.” Trump’s comment has drawn condemnation from both Muslim and Jewish groups for using the word “Palestinian” as a racial slur.

“Trump has the ability to revoke someone’s Jew card,” Casey added in the post shared by Terrell.

Whether or not he is familiar with Casey’s background, in a January 2020 appearance on Fox News, Terrell mentioned “white nationalists” in Charlottesville “chant[ing] hateful [anti-] Jewish comments.”

Terrell directly followed the Casey re-post on Wednesday by sharing a post by the Hodgetwins podcast. Keith and Kevin Hodges, the podcast hosts, have been called out by the group Stop Antisemitism for being “purveyors of blatant antisemitism, regularly platforming and promoting hateful rhetoric.”

Democratic Party Split

Nachdem die Trump Administration befreundete Staaten mit Invasion bedroht, die atlantische Allianz verraten und sich zum Büttel Russlands gemacht, die staatlichen Institutionen handlungsunfähig gemacht hat, geben die Democrats die zentrale Waffe des Parlaments - das Haushaltsrecht - und damit die schärfste Waffe zur Verteidigung der Gewaltenteilung de facto auf.

Demokratie stirbt, wenn ihre Verteidiger aufgeben.

So it turns out that Cuck Schumer is another weak politician trying to hang onto his job instead of pushing back against the Trump/Musk regime.

"Schumer broke 2 prime rules of politics for leaders. 1st, don’t defy your own troops. More importantly, when you have the votes, as Schumer did, don’t capitulate w/o getting something in return."
-D Dayen

The only ones who strongly favored giving Trump what he wanted were Schumer’s toady, K Gillibrand of NY, & J Fetterman of PA. With 53 Rs in the Senate *R Paul -opposes the CR, it'd take 8 Dems to pass cloture. #Schumerdecided to defy the maj. of his own caucus.
