New statement from Chuck Schumer:
“Despite not doing anything useful, and in fact being actively harmful to the process in a number of ways, I am here to take credit for other people’s hard work and risks.”

New statement from Chuck Schumer: "Tonight’s results are a repudiation of the Trump agenda. The cruelty, chaos, and greed that define MAGA radicalism and are skyrocketing costs were firmly rejected by the American people." Calls it "a good night for Democrats and our fight to lower costs."

It is a deliberate, conscious choice to not get this distinction & to refuse to learn what Mamdani has actually said, instead of allowing Fox News commentators to determine how this conversation is going.
It’s also a choice to allow the GOP, MTG, etc a pass while worrying about this (Brown Muslim).

I had a talk with a friend and member of our congregation. So many of the issues stem from the inability to separate being anti-Bibi and anti-current Israeli government (and policy) from Antisemitism.

In the US, when you have absolutely no ability to hold a government official accountable, you say, "Person X must resign!"🤡
And then that person says, "Nah! I think I'll stay!"
And then you say, "No, you must resign at once!"🤡
And then they just ignore you.
And then that's the end of that.🤷🏿♂️
