Trump is a product of three things: (1) a Congress that, at a basic level, does not want to legislate; (2) a SCOTUS dominated by ideologues and (3) a tech oligarchy that knows that at some point the music is going to stop.

I don’t think there is ever any grand strategy going on in Trumpworld, but I do think he knows that “I am a gutter racist and I will make it ok for you to be a gutter racist” is his strongest political message

@booker.senate.gov Agree?
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

@booker.senate.gov Agree?
The calls to primary senate dems are correct but seems the best current course of action is to call your Dem senator (if you have one) and demand they call for Schumer’s resignation
