Chuck Schumer was one of the 23 Democrats who voted to confirm Sean Duffy.
Chris Van Hollen was one of the 21 Democrats who opposed him.

quick reminder that they literally made an MTV Real World character the U.S. Secretary of Transportation
Chuck Schumer voted to confirm him
Chris Van Hollen voted against confirming him

Having recently had a thread go viral in both Sanghi & MAGA circles, couple of observations
- Both are very into bigotry
- Only Sanghis go instantly to mother sister sodomy cuckoldry etc.
Even among right wing lunatics, Sanghis are uniquely obsessed with sex based insults.

Schumer recruited Mills over Troy Jackson, Stevens over Abdul El-Sayed and refused to endorse Mamdani. He then left Angie in the lurch.
He didn’t win this majority, the candidates and the voters did. His instincts are as trash as his support for Israel. He isn’t fit to lead.

Chuck Schumer is allowing Republicans to ram through a maximum number between now and January of LIFETIME FEDERAL JUDGES WHO HATE REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE, PRISONERS, CONSUMERS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND FAIR ELECTIONS because Schumer is a fucking dinosaur who does not understand the stakes
Our work through the holiday has resulted in Dems caving to expedited votes for constitutionalist judges for lifetime appointments today, with final votes Monday after time under the rules runs over the weekend.
Because we pressed forward, we will have advanced all outstanding judges ripe for confirmation reported out of the Judiciary Committee.
We can’t let up.
As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I will continue my work with the committee to expeditiously process the President’s nominees to the Senate floor.
I implore my colleagues to use every single day we have left in the majority to move these lifetime-appointed judges and core legislation across the finish line.

In addition to his enabling Gaza genocide as Majority Leader, this is a HUGE reason for me to oppose @SenSchumer.
You shouldn't be a leader in my party if you refuse to even endorse primary winners of your own party in your hometown.
Beyond the pale!

Y’all remember when Dems forced a gov’t shut down over ACA credits then caved after they were promised the topic would be revisited at a later date but later never came and everyone’s premiums doubled ?
That’s was under his leadership 👇
I welcome any discussion about the future of our caucus and the important work ahead. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together—55 seats and counting is an amazing result—and I have the votes to continue serving as Democratic Leader.
I look forward to leading our new Democratic majority and delivering for the American people.

You are selfish! You already senate majority leader in the past. 51 year career in politics. Do the right thing and step aside Schumer.

Resharing this wild clip from last year.
For years, Chuck Schumer's political compass was a fictional couple from Long Island who voted for Trump. Maybe it's time for Senate leadership that listens to actual voters?

It’s interesting how the incoming members of the House all made it to picture day without getting stuck in traffic.

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

This wasn’t Jeffries. Truly.
But I do think they need a war-time consigliere right now. What house republicans did was dirty, dirty pool.
Please contact your senators to oppose S.4744 - Take Care of America’s Veterans Act.

Every single candidate we donated to this cycle is now in Congress, but the win of this Congresswoman-Elect is the most satisfying and gratifying one of them all! 😁🤗

Given that @SenSchumer was among those who rightly persuaded @JoeBiden to step aside from reelection, maybe Joe should be on the phone convincing Chuck that it's best if he step aside from the Majority Leader race.

Split screen at Capitol Hill today:
Hakeem Jeffries is arguing that he should be the leader of the Democrats — and then, as the current leader, he couldn’t get enough Democrats to show up to impeach Pete Hegseth

Dear @SenSchumer
I've voted for you twice. Four times if you count the primaries.
Do your country, your state, your city, and your party a favor.
Announce that you're not seeking the Majority Leader role anymore. Let there be a genuine contest & debate over leadership.
