Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.
This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.

“The result is pandemonium in the national security community, not just in D.C. but in capitals around the world. According to Politico, national security advisor Michael Waltz…could lose his job over this incident. (Waltz, according to Goldberg, was the person who invited him to join the chat.)”

With all the fuckery we're dealing with, worrying about how the Democratic Senate Minority Leader is not up to the task of defending democracy, should not be a thing.
But he's not. He needs to resign. He's not the right leader for the moment and he's dragging the entire party down.
Resign Schumer!
