Schumer Did The Right Thing March 14, 2025 The Continuing Resolution to keep the government open was horrible. Leader Jeffries was right to rally virtually unanimous opposition from his members. Doing so made a much-needed statement — without shutting anything down. But Chuck Schumer — even knowing how horrible Trump and Musk are, how horrible the bill was, and the tremendous heat he’d take — made the right call. Here was his reasoning: Trump and Musk Would Love a Shutdown. We Must Not Give Them One. It strikes me as sound. Had we killed the bill: > WE would have been blamed for shutting down the government. > We would have taken attention away from the awful things Trump/Musk/Putin are doing every day — the story, instead, would have been how to get Democrats to reopen the National Parks, etc. > And most importantly — read Senator Schumer’s op-ed — we would have been giving Trump significantly more power than he already has. Why would we want to do that? And think about it: How would this end? Why would Trump want to give up that power? Why would he cave? Because he cares about people? Or medical research? Or starving babies? Clearly not. Eventually, would we not have had to agree to re-opening a by-then far more irreparably crippled government? I would love your thoughts. Join Indivisible!
