Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader from New York, just got hit by a Democratic civil war so dramatic it makes Game of Thrones look like a babysitter. After failing to herd his senators away from reopening the government—yes, those rebellious troublemakers voted 'Yes' on the shutdown deal—progressives like Rashida Tlaib (in hilariously mismatched D-Minnesota) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) called for his resignation like it’s the hottest new trend. Meanwhile, moderates like Seth Moulton threw shade calling Schumer a failed leader who can't keep his caucus in line. Even grassroots groups like Indivisible want Schumer gone, mailing pitchforks to Democratic senators. The drama climaxed Monday, November 10, 2025, with Hakeem Jeffries backing Schumer like a true wingman. Yet no Senate Democrat dared say it publicly. Plot twist: Schumer opposed the deal behind closed doors but got labeled either impotent or a secret co-conspirator anyway. It’s democracy but with extra snark and zero chill.
