Schumer to help Republicans in Senate [View all]

Senate Democrats gave up their sole point of leverage Thursday, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that he would help Republicans pass a continuing resolution that slashes domestic spending and specifically targets Washington D.C. with massive, punitive cuts.

Here is my two cents: VOTE NO. Damned if we do. Damned if we don't but I will never compitulate to dictators.
