Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is taking a subtle shot at Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as she urges Democrats in the United States Senate to reject what she describes as a "false choice" between shutting down the federal government and passing a Republican-backed funding package.

Nancy Pelosi is calling on her fellow Democrats in the Senate to defy Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and vote against a GOP-backed bill. The post Nancy Pelosi Calls on Democratic Senators to Defy Chuck Schumer and Vote Against GOP Funding Bill: ‘We Must Fight Back’ first appeared on Mediaite.

The GOP bill would gut funding for health care, increase military spending, and fund mass deportation. It narrowly passed the Republican-led House, with just one Democrat voting to pass. Schumer argued that a government shutdown would give Trump and Elon Musk a “carte blanche” to gut federal services. Pelosi disagreed.
