Get the Chuck Outta Here: Democrats Are Finally United (Against Themselves)

Democrats in Congress have finally unburdened themselves from the state of disarray plaguing their party since losing the 2024 election—by uniting in outrage against one of them their own. Democratic politicians and activists are livid after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said he would support passage of a Republican-backed funding bill to avoid a government shutdown.

Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives released a blistering statement in response to Schumer's announcement. "The far-right Republican funding bill will unleash havoc on everyday Americans," they wrote. "House Democrats will not be complicit." The six-month funding measure narrowly passed the GOP-controlled House earlier this week. Congressman Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat who voted in favor. Senators have until the end of the day on Friday to approve the measure before funding runs out.
