Van Jones, a CNN commentator, expressed unprecedented anger towards Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after the passage of a federal spending bill. He noted a "volcanic eruption of outrage" from Democrats, particularly after Schumer's reversal on supporting the bill. The spending bill faced initial resistance in the House, with some Republicans hesitant to back it. Despite this, it passed and moved to the Senate, where Schumer's support drew criticism from party members, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who felt betrayed. Schumer defended his decision, stating that a government shutdown could benefit figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. He argued that it would threaten federal services and the court system, which play a crucial role in countering their influence.
