What stuns me most about Schumer is that he’s a Jewish man who seems oblivious to the obvious parallels to Nazi Germany happening right in front of him and he STILL gave Trump and Musk more power.

His approach is one of wait and see until it’s too late for the opposition party to do anything, and then call for a popular revolt? He is unfit to lead in these times.

WATCH: Schumer says "our democracy will be at stake" if Trump disobeys the Supreme Court—but "we're not there yet."

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

We need to prioritize the economy and lower grocery prices. I am committed to bipartisan solutions at the border but require GOP cooperation. Additionally, it is crucial that we support our allies and not appease our adversaries.

This is horrifying and cruel and will result in unnecessary violence, trauma, and potentially, death. This is not an understatement. The cruelty is the point - this government of transphobic facists are wreaking irresolvable harm.
The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.
