It's not just passing a budget.

Hardly any of the money is earmarked for anything. Which means trump gets a blank check and he can just stop funding lots of shit.

A shutdown is 100% better than this CR.

But the people that pay Schumer and the rest of the neoliberals don't want a shutdown. They want to pretend everything is fine so the market stops free falling.

Neoliberals are just enabling trump. We need to hit rock bottom, fuck a parachute.

House dems - including moderates - are actually quite pissed at schumer. They are actively talking about primarying him. There is a very real path to him getting ousted from senate leadership with the public adding to that pressure

Complete meltdown. Complete and utter meltdown on all text chains," said the member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to offer sensitive details of members' internal conversations.

A senior House Democrat said "people are furious" and that some rank-and-file members have floated the idea of angrily marching onto the Senate floor in protest.

Others are talking openly about supporting primary challenges to senators who vote for the GOP spending bill

"People are PISSED," one House Democrat told Axios in a text message.

Several members — including moderates — have begun voicing support for a primary challenge to Schumer, floating Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) as possible candidates, three House Democrats said.

One lawmaker even vowed at the House Democratic retreat to "write a check tonight" supporting Ocasio-Cortez, said the senior House Democrat

Another Democrat told Axios the ideation has gone a step further: "There is definitely a primary recruitment effort happening right now ... not just Schumer, but for everyone who votes no."

Said one member: "Folks are still working the phones tonight with their senators. We have not given up."
