I don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for, but it sure as shit isn’t this one.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

Many folks argue that the first two impeachments didn’t constraint Trump so why try again, but if the rule of law is to have any meaning, then Democrats must insist on at least trying to hold Trump accountable for asserting dictatorial powers to kidnap, invade, loot, and murder.
impeach him. try to do it once a month, if necessary. build the case over and over to not just the American people but to the world that this isn’t the way things should be here, that this isn’t the way we should use our power abroad.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Removal of office and war crimes tribunals are minimum first steps to prevent the US from turning into an extension of Russia and what they're doing to Ukraine in Venezuela.
If there's a legitimate opposition party in this country we'll hear calls for that today.

America is a rogue nation, and, along with Russia and China, part of a nuclear-armed axis of authoritarianism undermining international law to divide the world into occupied spheres of influence.
Trump should be impeached and tried for war crimes.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

The fact that someone calculated that a $25,000,000 political donation in a six month period was a rational business decision says a lot about how precarious the people pushing AI think the fate of the technology is.

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.

Perhaps an obvious point, but beyond a certain level of wealth, these numbers become meaningless. Those eight billionaires are mostly wielding political capital at this point; the bank balances are irrelevant. What this is a record of is therefore only what they *took* from everyone else.
"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

We won't begin to roll back the tide of fascism until white liberals come to terms with the fact that tens of millions of their fellow citizens actively, knowingly, support racist Gestapo policies. Tens of millions of racists were not deluded or misled. How will you adjust your strategy accordingly?
