Don’t Give Away Anything for Nothing’…

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi voiced rare public criticism of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday, expressing disappointment over his recent decision to support a Republican-led government funding bill that temporarily averted a shutdown.

Speaking at a press conference in San Francisco, Pelosi acknowledged Schumer’s continued leadership in the Senate but questioned his strategy in negotiating with Republicans.

“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”

The core of Pelosi’s frustration lies in Schumer’s decision to advance a six-month funding measure crafted by GOP leaders, which Democrats had hoped to either amend or replace with a short-term solution of their own. Pelosi argued that a more strategic delay could have pressured Republicans into negotiating a more balanced agreement.

“We could have, in my view, perhaps gotten [Republicans] to agree to a third way,” she added, referring to a 30-day extension Democrats proposed to allow more time for discussion. “They may not have agreed to it, but at least the public would have seen them not agreeing to it — then they would have been the ones shutting the government down.”

Pelosi had reportedly encouraged Democratic senators to reject the bill ahead of the vote, warning that accepting the deal as it stood amounted to giving in to partisan pressure.

In a statement before the vote, she said, “Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that harms working families. This false choice is unacceptable.”

Despite her sharp criticism, Pelosi made clear that she is now focused on moving forward. “I’m concerned about the next time. I’m concerned about the future,” she said. “What happened last week was last week. We’re going into the future.”

 

Senator Schumer, meanwhile, defended his vote by emphasizing the broader consequences of a shutdown. “The bill is very bad,” he admitted, “but the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse.”

His decision, however, has sparked notable frustration within his party. According to reports, scheduled events to promote Schumer’s new book, Antisemitism in America: A Warning, were canceled due to unspecified security concerns.

While other Democratic leaders, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have remained mostly silent on the issue, the backlash appears to be growing. Prominent voices in the party, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have also shown concern over how Schumer is handling the party’s position in the Senate.

Political commentator and former Obama administration official Van Jones weighed in on CNN, noting that internal frustration has reached an unusually intense level.

“We can be grumpy, we can be frustrated,” Jones said, “but this is a volcanic eruption of outrage at Leader Schumer. We want someone who stands up and fights back.”

Using a sports analogy, Jones added, “There’s an emotional need to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk from steamrolling this party. I think Chuck Schumer has radically misread the room.”

This internal debate highlights the broader challenge facing Democratic leaders: how to balance practical governance with firm opposition, especially in the current polarized political environment. As government funding battles remain a recurring issue in Washington, tensions like these may continue to surface — even among longtime allies.
