I’m so sorry. I went through this a year ago, after 19 years with my furgirl. (She’s watching movies here.) I miss her every day, and hope this transition for your family, especially for your kids, is as smooth as possible.🐾❤️🐾

You’re Delusional.

Schumer is not the right fit as leader during this time in history.

I’ve voted for him when I lived in NY.
That was Then, this is Now.

He needs to be replaced.

Either diplomatically, convinced to step aside.
Or, replaced against his preference.

Either way, he needs to be replaced.
NOW.

Schumer is not the right fit for leadership in this historical moment.

Please do something.

It can be diplomatic, he can be persuaded to step aside. Or he can be removed.

Either way, he needs to be replaced.
NOW.

Schumer is not the right fit for leadership in this historical moment. It’s imperative he be replaced.

Please do something.

It can diplomatic, people can convince him to step aside. Or he can be replaced against his preference.

Either way, it’s necessary.
NOW.

Schumer is not up to the task of Leader during this moment in history.

Please do something about that, he needs to no longer hold that position. I voted for him years ago when I lived in NY. But he is not the fit required to meet the imperatives of this historical moment.

Please do something.

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

Delusional.
Or corrupted.
I once held you in high esteem.
NH ‘84.

Listening to your pathetic attempts at rationalization tonight after your appalling, indefensible vote, was a truly abysmal experience.

Delusional, at best.
