Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

There was no reason to cave on the CR. Musk and Trump are already dismantling the government.

My two cents: we don’t abandon the Democratic Party. We remake it. It’s a good party. It just has bad leadership.

@schumer.senate.gov GROW A SPINE! If we ever needed you to stand up against tyranny, it is NOW!
Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
