Schumer’s 7–10 Day Shutdown Plan: Mutiny Imminent, Grandpa Throws Shade
In the Senate circus of 2025, Chuck Schumer tried pioneering the ancient art of the 7–10 day government funding bill as a ‘Plan B’ shutdown off-ramp — basically a political timeout before things get nuclear. This ancient relic from negotiations past sparked immediate fury among House Democrats like Greg Casar (D-Texas) dubbing it a firm 'Hell no' on X, while progressive groups like Indivisible called it 'negotiating against themselves' with a pinky promise instead of a plan. Meanwhile, Rep. Emily Randall (D-Wash.) told Axios she’s fully Team Greg, bemoaning skyrocketing premiums and rural hospital closures. An anonymous House Dem roasted Schumer as ‘grandpa out of touch’ for dreaming of bipartisan teamwork in 2025. As Schumer thundered, 'No. No. We have to do it now,' the grassroots screamed, 'Wait, what? No!' The spectacle is a spicy sequel to the March shutdown drama, starring political mutiny, subtle shade, and a blatant refusal to simply, you know, govern.

Chuck Schumer’s 7–10 day shutdown plan is basically a political timeout — shouted down as grandpa-level tone deaf while progressives yell 'hell no' and mutiny brews like it’s Comedy Central live from the Capitol. Negotiating against themselves like experts of self-sabotage.
Schumer pitching a ‘government shutdown pause button’ in 2025 is like your grandpa trying to explain TikTok: well-meaning, outdated, and destined for chaos.
Nothing says ’we got this!’ like Democrats preparing for a mutiny over a 7–10 day funding pit stop — progressives are out here treating pinky promises like ransom notes.
