Fair Warning:

I live in Minneapolis and I’m as pissed off as I’ve ever been. And right now, I’m way more angry at the useless Democrats than I am at the spineless Republicans or the ICE and Border Patrol psychopaths gunning down my fellow Minnesotans.

Let’s say the quiet part out loud: being a Democrat is not the job. Representing the public is the job. And if someone keeps helping a Trump administration function, keeps folding during leverage moments, or keeps clinging to leadership while delivering surrender speeches, then the job needs to change hands. Like RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

Fast description of the new hires (and that’s what Senators and Representatives are – our tax dollars pay them to do the damned job): Josh Shapiro’s slogan for Pennsylvania: “GSD” = “Get shit done”

Quick answer

• Shutdown enablers: Democrats who voted to reopen government on the other side’s terms.
• Cabinet confirmers: Democrats who repeatedly voted to confirm Trump’s top picks.
• Leadership that defaults to excuses: If the message is “We can’t,” replace the messengers.
• Term-limit reality check: If the president has a term-limit (Thank God!), why don’t the Senate and the House? What the hell makes these clowns so damned special?

Democratic leadership accountability 2026

• Chuck Schumer — Senate Democratic Leader.
• Hakeem Jeffries — House Democratic Leader.
• Dick Durbin — Senate Democratic Whip.

Why on the cut list: leadership is a results contract. If the posture is “nothing we can do,” it’s WAY past time for new leadership.

(Unless you want to hear Jeffries tell you there’s nothing he can do, or you want Schumer to send Trump another strongly worded letter!)

Shutdown vote Democrats 2026

Senate Democrats who broke ranks to reopen government

Eight Democrats crossed over to help end the shutdown: Jeanne Shaheen, Dick Durbin, Tim Kaine, Maggie Hassan, Angus King, Jacky Rosen, Catherine Cortez Masto, John Fetterman.

House Democrats who voted for the shutdown-ending bill

Six House Democrats voted with Republicans: Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Adam Gray, Don Davis, Henry Cuellar, Tom Suozzi.

Trump cabinet confirmations Democrats

Five Democrats voted to confirm 10 Trump nominees each: John Fetterman, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Ruben Gallego, John Hickenlooper.

Why on the cut list: “I didn’t know” is not a defense at this level. Either they’re too damned stupid to do the job, Trump bribed them, threatened them, or they’re fucking Republican’s pretending to be Democrats. Time to take out the trash!

Committee leaders Democrats must fight

• Dick Durbin — Ranking Member, Senate Judiciary Committee.
• Jeanne Shaheen — Ranking Member, Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
• Robert Garcia — Ranking Member, House Oversight Committee.
• Jamie Raskin — Ranking Member, House Judiciary Committee.

NWP demand: committees can’t be stage props. If the posture is timid, pressure leadership or replace the seat.

Term limits for Congress: four terms and out

If you’ve served more than four terms, you don’t get seniority as a birthright. This isn’t ageism. It’s succession planning during a national emergency.

Missed votes and “not doing the job”

If someone is chronically absent, the job is already being done by staff while the public gets a ghost. Attendance matters. Votes matter.

Worst Democrat Ever!!! Gallego misses 95 senate votes to campaign in Arizona!

The “Crockett + Talarico” power-pair plan

We need fighters and we need coordination so talent isn’t wasted in friendly-fire primaries. When openings appear, coordinate the bench: House first, then Senate as the long game.

The NWP Cut List: Replace These Losers!

1. Shutdown enablers (Senate): Shaheen, Kaine, Hassan, King, Rosen, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Durbin.
2. Shutdown crossover votes (House): Golden, Gluesenkamp Perez, Gray, Davis, Cuellar, Suozzi.
3. Cabinet confirmation super-spreaders: Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassan, Gallego, Hickenlooper.
4. Leadership reset targets: Schumer, Jeffries, Durbin.
5. Bum: Gallego – not only did he manage to miss 95 votes in 2025, but he voted to confirm the incompetent scumbags in Trump’s Cabinet of Quacks!
   1. Side note: I lived in Phoenix for a year. They are scrappy fighters. They deserve a strong representative.

What to do next

1. Pick 3 targets you can influence (your state + your district + one national leader).
2. Recruit locally: find one credible challenger and start building early.
3. Make it culture: four terms is plenty. Primary pressure keeps everyone honest.

Shoutout to the No Wimps Army “Wolverines”: the point isn’t doom-scrolling. The point is replacing weak links with people who fight like the stakes are real—because they are. I know. I live in Minneapolis.
