After denial comes anger, Chuck. Join us.
Chuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, that “we are not that country.”
Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.

No.
"Resign, Chuck, and let someone who knows how to fight take your place."
Quoting Cromwell:
"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."

"The beatings will continue until morale improves."
CNN: "New data shows January was the lowest months for job cuts since the 2009 Great Recession...layoffs way up, hiring ways down. During the month of January, US-based employers announced just over 108,000 layoffs. That's roughly double January 2025. In fact, this is the highest since January 2009"

US Citizens Commit 95% Of Welfare Fraud
Welfare fraud should always be taken seriously, but the right’s characterization of it as an immigrant problem is completely off-base — US citizens account for 95% of fraud losses.

A problem with Schumer (not the only one!) is he says things one would say if you're in private negotiations with someone when he is speaking as a (the) de facto leader of the opposition party. E.g., his comment about masks is something you might say in private, but you can't sound wobbly in public.
