10 moderates went behind his back and negotiated it.

Then I think you are sadly mistaken.

I just know what has been reported. If there is reporting that says different I would love to read it. Do you have a link?

He is the leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus. If it was done against his wishes than he has lost control of his caucus and should resign.

If it was with his permission then he lied to everyone and can no longer be trusted after doing this twice in a row. He should resign.

.

but is there evidence that he approved of the others voting yes?

His job is to keep the caucus in line. Either he approved of it or is an extremely ineffective Minority Leader.

in a democratic Legislative body. He’s not a dictator in an authoritarian state.

Why shouldn’t Schumer have that level of competence?

But to be fair Pelosi never faced a shutdown this long.

Catherine Cortez Masto
Jacky Rosen
Maggie Hassen
Jeanne Shaheen (retiring)
Angus King
John Fetterman
Tim Kaine
Dick Durbin (retiring)

He is no longer effective. Maybe he should just fucking resign from the Senate.

Yes from Kaine and Rosen.

Update, also: King and Fetterman

Of course. Disappointment does not begin to describe him. We had such hopes.

because he got so much flack before.

I just the exact same thing - you don't negotiate with terrorists.

He needs to just fucking leave the senate tomorrow.

Fucking loser. No legacy to speak of,

committee posts, or support for primary challengers?

Somehow I think Nancy Pelosi would have kept her people in line.

Schumer was either complicit in his giving the ok for them to vote this way — or he is the most feckless useless “leader” the Dems could have. Neither is a winning strategy for our future.

So he can't withhold them. He can withhold committee posts but not until the next congress.

He needs to resign in favor of someone who's actually conscious.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate took the first step to end the government shutdown on Sunday after a group of moderate Democrats agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies, angering many in their caucus who say Americans want them to continue the fight.

The agreement does not guarantee the health care subsidies will be extended, as Democrats have demanded for almost six weeks. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York voted against moving ahead with the package, along with all but eight of his Democratic colleagues.

A group of three former governors — New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine — broke the six-week stalemate on Sunday when they agreed to vote to advance three bipartisan annual spending bills and extend the rest of government funding until late January in exchange for a mid-December vote on extending the health care tax credits.

In addition to Shaheen, King and Hassan, Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, home to tens of thousands of federal workers, also voted in favor of moving forward on the agreement. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman and Nevada Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen also voted yes.
