Wrote up my thoughts on all the nonsense replies I've been getting falsely claiming that @schumer.senate.gov can't do anything and I should stop telling him to do more.
There's a TON that he can do, as I outline in the piece. And he's doing basically none of it.

Chuck Schumer’s Ridiculous Strategy For Trump’s Illegal War: Hope Republicans Come To Their Senses
I've criticized Chuck Schumer plenty over the years, generally for being bad on tech policy, but also for not understanding the moment we’re living through. Yes, he’s the leader of a minority party…

I've criticized Chuck Schumer plenty over the years, generally for being bad on tech policy, but also for not understanding the moment we’re living through. Yes, he’s the leader of a minority party with zero power, but that doesn’t mean he’s powerless. Yet he acts as if he is. And if he can't figure that out, it's time for someone else to do it.

Got to give Trump credit for being honest with us for maybe the first time in his life. He says he did it for the oil. Dems don’t have to come up with Haliburton conspiracies or whathaveyas. It’s purely pillage and plunder

FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... This mind-blowing attack is the direct result of a Supreme Court MAGA majority, and Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. specifically, who granted him broad immunity never envisioned by the Framers. He has taken that and run with it—now headfirst into war.

This holiday season, Trump got himself an unusual gift: a new, generous, and entirely made-up approval rating.
Yes, he’s done this before — a month into his second term, in fact — but this latest iteration is funnier because even in his own fictional, alternate reality, his popularity is sinking.

He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

Nothing has been resolved. Trump is advocating for Kremlin propaganda - says Donbas has to be decided on via “referendum or parliament vote” and claims “90% people would support it”. He also says both US and Russia have interest in Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. So same demands

So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?
