Indivisible Howard County Maryland (IndivisibleHoCoMD) calls on Senator Chuck Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader
Minority Leader Schumer, as chair of the Democratic Caucus in the Senate, broke with the vast majority of his caucus to allow a GOP funding bill to advance, without any restrictions on the ongoing efforts from Donald Trump and Elon Musk to dismantle the federal government. In response, Indivisible Howard County Maryland (IndivisibleHoCoMD) releases the following statement:
“Under Senator Chuck Schumer’s Leadership, Senate Democrats just surrendered a rare moment of leverage to rein in the chaos and harm of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Congressional Republicans. By voting to advance the GOP government funding bill, rather than demanding anything in return, Schumer handed more power to the extremists destroying the government. This was not just a strategic mistake – it was a demonstration that Schumer is not prepared to lead the Democratic opposition to fascism and protect our democracy. We thank him for his years of service, and call on him to step aside as minority leader.
“In the week leading up to the budget vote, members of IndivisibleHoCoMD called upon our own Representative Elfreth and Senators Van Hollen and Alsobrooks to vote NO to the Trump/Musk budget and we are proud of and grateful for their courage in standing up and voting NO to protect our country. We will continue to support their leadership and use all peaceful and democratic means in our power to stop the Trump/Musk dismantling of our democracy, our freedom, and our future.”
“We do not come to this decision lightly – for the country, or for our democracy. But the stakes are too high, and we need leaders who are willing to fight as hard as we are. Schumer should step aside as Minority Leader so another Democrat who’s willing to lead the opposition can step up to take his place.”

Strategies, Tactics, & Tips For How Everyday Americans Can Fight Back Together Wherever We Live
If there’s one universally accepted truth in the modern age, it’s that sequels suck. And Trump 2.0 will be no exception. Trump, Vance, and their MAGA minions feel vindicated by the victory of their bigoted, fascistic clown show of a presidential campaign. Trump takes office with a plan to institute the worst parts of Project 2025. He’ll be enabled by a judiciary packed with right-wing ideologues and a congressional majority stacked with MAGA foot soldiers. And he’s assembled a bloc of corporations and billionaires eager to do his bidding in exchange for tax cuts and corrupt favors. But he has no mandate for the staggeringly harmful agenda he’s about to unleash on the country. And together, we have the power to fight back — and win.
