Go to Denmark and say it to the faces of the parents of the young men and women who lost their lives alongside U.S. troops. Say it to them!

This is Chuck.
Chuck is selling a book.
Chuck also has a full-time job.
I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not.
Don’t be like Chuck.
And don’t buy Chuck’s book.

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets.

15 years ago today, the Supreme Court made a ruling called Citizens United that lets politicians get away with using dark money from their wealthy donors.
Billionaire donor oligarchs should not be running America — nobody voted for this.
