Poppycock! Your anachronistic, ineffective, and weak approach in the face of the Republican power consolidation, malfeasance, and untrustworthiness torpedoes, for a second time, the will of the people to push back against the existential threat that we face today. Where is your leadership?

Free speech is dead. RIP First Amendment. At least Chuck Schumer is "outraged". That steely-eyed stare over the low-slung reading glasses ought to fix it.

Here's hoping the jackasses who voted for this knucklehead decide to open up factories and find plenty of ultra-high-efficiency workers to staff them before Christmas...or a lot of folks are going to get a lot less this year. Ironically, at least ICE will be well funded...(that's sarcasm).

Looking it up - these new duties will impact most products by 10-40%, depending on the product and its country of origin. This is going to crush international e-commerce.

Meanwhile…the administration is destroying the foundation of our democracy, with cruelty and wonton corruption. You need to be speaking truth to power to your republican districts. Every day. (I support the awareness campaign, but there is no addressing sexual assault in an authoritarian state)

“Will”?! When “will” you start spelling out specific solutions to fix how Americans are suffering (right now, today) and stop talking about these over generalized “billionaire tax breaks” without offering answers that folks can see impacting their lives directly.

1. This is a solution in search of a problem. 2. Trump will trade tariff reductions and exemptions for favors to benefit his favored (billionaires). 3. Trump will offer targeted relief for the suffering he is causing, use that to claim a "victory," and shore up his base.

6/ And this is just a sample. The campaign is relentless and planned.
Democracies don't die in a single moment. You just wake up one day, and the regime has so badly crippled the opposition that they can't compete in elections.
This is where we are heading if we don't wake up.

Chris Murphy is speaking truth to power. The Dems created a void by defending "norms," a status quo that hasn't worked for anyone but the 1%. If Dems can DEMONSTRATE that they are effective reformers who care about real folks, they can win. (Authoritarians and oligarchs should be easy targets.)

“Investigation”?? Two thoughts - 1)”investigation” sounds weak if you aren’t simultaneously calling for his immediate resignation. 2) That said, dragging this out in hearings covered by the press for weeks on end could be useful. Maybe be strong and strategic…

This is what you get when you hire a media hound who is more focused on purging websites of “DEI” Medal of Honor winners than national security and the operational safety of our armed forces.

This is great -amplify by holding rallies in Republican-leaning towns and counties and get the message out. Shouting to the echo chamber isn't enough.
