Progressives are hammering Sen. Minority Leader Charles Schumer
(D-N.Y.) for his agreement with Senate Republican leadership to end the government shutdown on Monday.
Even House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) has spoken out against the deal, saying there was no reason to support it.
“I don’t see that there’s any reason –– I’m speaking personally and hearing from my members –– to support what was put forth,” Pelosi said at a press briefing shortly before Schumer signaled Senate Democrats would agree to it.

Activists took a harsher tone.
“It’s official: Chuck Schumer
is the worst negotiator in Washington – even worse than Trump,” said Murshed Zaheed, political director at CREDO, a progressive advocacy group.
“Any plan to protect Dreamers that relies on the word of serial liars like [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell
[R-Ky.], [House Speaker] Paul Ryan
[R-Wisc.] or Donald Trump
is doomed to fail,” Zaheed added.
Schumer and McConnell brokered a deal to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government until Feb. 8 in exchange for a compromise from Senate Republican leadership to hold a vote on DACA-replacement legislation by that date.
Activists were incensed at the deal, as it includes no guarantees that a bill will pass — nor does it tie an immigration bill to a must-pass measure to give Democrats leverage.
The agreement also includes no guarantees that a potential Senate agreement on DACA could see a vote in the House.

How about a nice tall cup of MAGA?
MAGA!!!!
:)
fund the government until Feb. 8 Not winning kicking the can just a short way.
Well, for once the Left is right!! WINNING!
Sort of nice for the Left to experience the lack of success Right activist felt when they tried to shutdown maneuver to repeal ObamaCare.
By supporting it Schumer threw Nancy and her Lemmings under the bus.
Indeed!
Liberal on Liberal fighting warms my heart!

I am so happy that the enemies of America are enraged. That means Trump won!
I’m not sure I see the winning.
All this appears to be doing is agreeing for running the gov for 2 1/2 weeks. The ‘Rats, pull their collective arms, vote today to keep the gov open those 2+ weeks.
Where’s the wall? Where’s the end to chain migration? Where’s the fixes for legal immigration?
For that matter, where is a budget? Won’t their be pressure for another short term funding measure at the start of February?
“Not winning kicking the can just a short way.”

I hope the dems shut down the government every few weeks over DACA. Their polling must have told them this is very bad. I hope they continue the same course of action, over and over again until the mid-terms.

HEY !!!
How about a plan to protect American citizens from the illegal alien so called “dreamers” ???
How about a deportation plan for those “dreamers” ???
That’ll work...
LOL! Shutdown Schemer Scheming with the hated repubs. It’s called representation. Deal with it moron marxists. He’s your man /s. He Chucked you overboard.
They did.
I bet they had weekend polling data that showed they were being blamed for it, so they caved pronto!..................
Yeah that’s right Commies Schumer wimped out.
Hey Chucky Schmucky, it’s not “ Buy high, sell low, it’s buy low, sell high!”
No thanks to Linda Graham and her cabal of traitors.
I’m not tired of winning.
Schumer had no leverage here. In a country of more than 300 million people you can't shut down the government over 800,000+ illegal immigrants with any leverage whatsoever -- no matter how compliant the leftist media may be.
