Tonight I will be in NH to talk about what kind of leadership is necessary at this time of crisis for our nation - and what Democrats in the United States Senate need to do to save our democracy. This moment is urgent and we need to act like it.

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet.
Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care
Trump: No

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.
This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Oh yeah - never a convenient time to have some real talk about the dynamic that the Democrats in the Senate are led by bunch of chumps. Certainly not after they created the conditions for yet another base demoralizing surrender.
This kind of activity is just what you should want to see, if your are a Republican, eager to see the opposition distracted by self-destructive infighting.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.
