Senator Schumer Must Step Aside or Be Removed as Minority Leader

Senator Schumer’s decision to surrender his leverage and greenlight the Republican funding bill was a stunning betrayal of every activist fighting to stop the Trump-Musk coup. Americans deserve more than empty gestures—we deserve a real opposition party. The era of bipartisan cooperation is over, yet Schumer still clings to a playbook that no longer applies. This moment demands a Minority Leader who understands the stakes and is willing to fight like hell to defend our democracy. Schumer has failed to meet this moment. It’s time for him to step aside and make way for leadership that won’t back down. If he won’t step down, Senate Democrats must act to remove him and to select a new Minority Leader. Our democratic institutions are on the line.
