Democrats have won the Senate majority, a feat that seemed unreachable last year but that came to fruition with Republican candidates failing in states won just two years ago by President Trump, whose failing approval ratings was a huge drag on the GOP.
Victory in the Senate will deliver additional oversight powers to Democrats, who will now have a much bigger say on administration and judicial nominations.
They will also set the schedule for the Senate and have new powers to call in administration officials for hearings.
The string of Democratic victories sets the stage for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to return as majority leader in 2027 and for hardball negotiations with Trump on an array of issues, including on federal spending levels.
Fuck Schumer. New Dem leadership now.
Everyone needs to write their reps, somebody offered this script in the other thread, I’m going to use it and others should too:
'My script, feel free to use (or just replace Jeffries with Schumer and use for a senator call):
Thanks for putting this out there. First thing I did today was email my rep and senators with a similar list. Planning on continuing to bug the shit out of them to make it clear a return to the status quo is not acceptable.
We can push for affordability AND prosecutions at the same time. It’s not hard.
hakeem, cory booker, fetterman, slotkin,etc.
They’ll see this wave of victories as support for Jeffries/Schumer
IDK about you but I plan on making a ton of noise to my reps about removing the both of them for their inept leadership between now and January.
This is the way
What is Schumer’s job again?
In his own words it is to work for Israel. Traitor must be tried
To send strongly worded letters to the White House
But first, sending a polite note and 4 trillion dollars to israel
No that’s his night job. His day job is to keep “the left” pro Israel.
hakeem too.
Whatever Netanyahoo tells him to do.
he said “continue support the “lefts” support of israel, no exceptions”
