Chuck Schumer supports bill, but AOC and Nancy Pelosi warn against Republican legislation as shutdown looms

Summary

Democratic divisions intensified as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Pelosi sharply criticized Chuck Schumer for supporting a Republican-led funding bill to avoid a government shutdown.

AOC called Schumer’s decision a “betrayal,” urging Senate Democrats to reject the legislation backed by Trump and Elon Musk. Pelosi called the bill a “devastating assault” on working families.

Schumer defended his stance, arguing a shutdown would empower Trump and Musk further.

The controversy sparked suggestions among Democrats that AOC might challenge Schumer in a primary.

      “Try to not be a dick in the future [Incoherent rambling about how I hate you and everything you stand for]”

      I genuinely am asking this in good faith, are you doing fine mentally?

        Nah :/ I’m getting better but I still struggle with not being aggressive like this. That person thinks I want Palestinians dead though, so they can go fuck themself :3 nothing pisses me off more then leftist infighting, and they do it over l i t e r a l l y n o t h i n g. I literally just said I don’t like .ml instances, that’s why they called me a zionist. I hope they learn to stop being a cunt who things it’s ok to say people love genocide out of nowhere. Real shit, they could’ve just apologized for it, but nah, they doubled down and insisted I was being a dick for not taking kindly to LITERALLY BEING CALLED A ZIONIST FOR NO REASON.

        I didn’t do anything to earn getting called a Zionist, I literally just said I don’t like how toxic ml instances tend to be. Me not liking to be called a Zionist is not at all comparable to them calling me a zionist. They started this, and again, they could’ve easily ended it by apologizing and moving on. I even gave them the chance to do so and they refused. Hopefully they realize it’s not good to call comrades zionists out of pocket <3
