The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

So many of the takes on the #pasta #tariffs betray a lack of understanding about anti-dumping duties.
Friends: Trump doesn't personally run anti-dumping or countervailing duty (AD/CVD) cases, or set the duty rates. US AD/CVD practice was bat-shit crazy *before he ever took office.*

What that argument misses is that solar can usually be deployed *in the same footprint* as other uses, like parking lots. Just as wind can be deployed in farms & forests. /1

This is why I donate to individual Democratic candidates, but never to @electdemocrats.bsky.social. The reactionary centrism from the leadership of the Democratic Party - including @schumer.senate.gov - is nothing but sabotage masquerading as pragmatism.
This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.
Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.
