Trump just illegally fired the two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission – an independent agency that Congress created to protect your rights as consumers.

Schumer said, in an interview with Chris Hayes, "If the people stand up? We join them." That is Chuck Schumer's plan??? That is NOT leadership. That is what a follower says. :(
You weak losers can’t even message this right. You need to say “Trump tries to fire” or “Trump illegally attempted to fire.” Here, you give up and accept it has been done. How have you all not got this down yet. Political malfeasance.
Ok. So, shocking? No. Expected? Yes. Your inaction but to post something, wag your finger and let Schumer bike his way to an ‘understanding’- Disappointing AND expected. This is no time to ‘write angry letters’ and ‘tweets’. You should have done something last Friday.
Too bad Americans lack a government that can read the Constitution and are willing to ACT to protect us from the fascists. Why didn't YOU refuse to certify the mango mussolini's election certification? You couldn't read Article III of the 14th amendment? Or are you just as corrupt as the rest?
Please senator booker take action and publicly call for @schumer.senate.gov to step down as minority leader. We are tired of hearing about all the illegal actions Trump is doing, but seeing no action from congress to stop him. The shut down was our leverage and Schumer and 9 others blew it !
Senator, there is no more business as usual. There is no more agreeing to vote on this confirmation in the hopes that you’ll get something later. Democrats need to take a stand now on each & every item. As a NJsian I know you know how to do this, please start being the leader the country needs.
you all need a dem press secretary to update people to what the russian assets are doing daily. You need a leader that knows how to fight. You need to demand dems who side with the russian assets are removed from your party because they have violated their oath which calls for impeachment.
He’s a horrible man who does not deserve the coveted title as the president. And he’s even more horrible and dangerous as he keeps signing these EOs to take us backwards.
Democrats have no plans…No fight. Just words. What are you guys doing to stop the destruction of our Republic?? Start by removing Schumer as minority leader!
Until you bozos are prepared to resist in any way, shape, or form, posting is meaningless. Do something or make room for someone that will. Start with getting rid of Schumer.
This would definitely be a step in gaining back the support of the American people. As a New Jersey constituent who has supported @booker.senate.gov for years, publicly calling for Schumer’s removal is what I need to see to actually feel like senate Dems have our backs and not the corporations.
What the fuck are you gonna do about it, Senator?
Another strongly worded statement?
Grow a pair of balls and shut these clowns down.
Now would be great.
Again, no sense of alarm or urgency.Instead of stating the obvious, what do you plan to do? How are you fighting back? There is a chasm between the streets and the hallowed halls of congress. People who reside in the latter are so out of touch. Start acting with the fierce urgency of NOW!!!!
If Schumer stays you lose Americans' support.
We don't care about your stupid rules, he has to go, simply inform him he's no longer the leader and choose a new one.
If you can't stand up to him, you have no chance against Trump.
Get your **** together for once, Democrats. Schumer must go. Full Stop.
That’s great. Are all of you congressional democrats just going to stand on the sidelines and report on the destruction of our country? What are you actually doing about it besides talking about it?
At times like these, I think of South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-Myung who, at 61-years-old, climbed several barricades to enter parliament when the president enacted martial law.
Meanwhile all you feckless turds are voting to confirm Trump's nominees and planning book tours.
What can YOU do to stop him? We citizens will protest, write letters to the editor, call our reps in Congress…but what will you do Senator, in your position of power, to stop Trump?
Cory. Read the comments. It’s amazing how many are similar. I’m proud of all of the posters. We know the news before you do. If you know something we don’t know, please have a Town Hall to let us in and give us the info.
OMG. Stop the terrorizing. Have a Town Hall and do your job. What kind of sadist posts a message like this to constituents? We know what is going on. You need to do some Teshuva and figure out how to undo this. It’s up to you and your Senate Dem leaders to step up or step out.
Is this a joke? Thanks for the info. Do you realize that you are our Senator and we are freaking out. Do something to fix it. Don’t send us messages so that we get outraged but you do nothing. That is not your job. Waiting for a response from my emails and phone calls. What good are you doing?
Trump just keeps on going with his illegal actions. The legal suits are critical but I believe we need to rapidly build a huge grassroots movement to be effective. Diligent representatives like Sen. Booker are doing what they can but we have to do our part. This is not business as usual in any way.
Dude, you need to read the room. We're not stupid, so please stop reporting what we already know. What we don't know is WTF are you going to do abt it? So far, all I've gotten is a bunch of requests for money for the Senate to do it's job. I'm amazed that 1 republican senator.....
......held up promotions for almost a year, and the Dem Senators haven't figured out stop the destruction of democracy. Maybe ya'll coulda stalled more on the Senate picks. Maybe get with Sen Schumer and ask him to resign or at least what's the fucking plan
A lot of us are expecting too much from our congressional leaders. We have to start asking, "what am I going to do about it". We must begin the heavy lifting. There is too much happening for just our elected officials to handle. When we are told of a problem, we must do something.
Senator, I've not only voted for you, but I've made phone calls and knocked doors alongside you with my NJEA siblings. I implore you to develop and enact a plan to stop the president's illegal acts. He's breaking the law. We're relying on you to ensure the law is enforced and upheld.
So many ‘What are you going to do about it!’, posts.
Haven’t seen many suggestions, and they were hired and trained to play by rules.
Pretty sure many don’t want to suggest what’s on their mind.
Legal action? Seems many in it are working for the self proclaimed king.
Maybe ‘owned’ not ‘working’.
Trump and co just need to go. I believe this is a shared bipartisan belief among most American citizens. Enough is enough to hold an entire country hostage with psychological war fare needs to be removed from office.
Do something about him before he screws Ukraine, invades Mexico and Canada and pulls the entire world in to a war. Talking does nothing you are three separate but equal branches of the government setup to hold each other accountable but Trump is making a mockery of the constitution and the country.
And what are you and the Dems actually going to DO about it?
No one cares about your windbag hot air bullshit and sophistry.
What concrete actions will you yourself or as a party be taking?
Cause if you can't put up, and you just won't shut up, you can fucking resign.
At a time when Americans are struggling with rising food, housing and medical costs, Trump is once again taking the hatchet to the watchdogs that are in place to stop Americans from being ripped off.
UNFORTUNATELY, Mr. Booker you did NOT advocate for Pres. Biden's 2nd term as President. ALL this energy to report on trump's hatchet job, when you could have just factually stated ALL of Pres. Biden's ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
DEM's who ousted Pres. Biden are part of the problem and HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY!

We do NOT need a play-by-play reiteration about what trump is doing Mr. Booker. We, the People, need to know what you and the Democrats voted into office are DOING to S-T-O-P trump.
P-R-O-A-C-T-I-V-E-L-Y LEADING... lives and livelihoods are in peril.
G-O BACK AND TALK WITH POLOSI AND STRATEGIZE.
SHE may NOT be someone I particularly care for after she ousted President Biden, and contributed to trump's 2nd post in office along with ALL the Dem's who bought into "Pres. Biden is too old fiasco," but at least she has fight!
I swear to god if Democrats keep talking exclusively about personal financial issues in the face of this authoritarian takeover we will unseat every single one of you without hesitation or mercy. This is not electoral politics as usual. Step it the hell up.
Let's get real here -we all know Chuck Schumer is NOT up to the strategic fight that the Dems, the country & the world need right now. He needs to step down immediately! The longer he stays in, the more damage he causes. Please, for the good of all of our futures, call for him to resign as "leader!"
Democratic Congress has a 25% approval rating.
The party members are sick of talk and no action!
Get the hell out and start doin town hall rallies in GOP strongholds!🤷
So @booker.senate.gov what are you and your fellow senate members going to do about it? We're aware of what he's doing and you were elected to be a part of the system of checks and balances. DO SOMETHING
#WhoIsGoingToStopHim From your friend Jane. We met on Thanksgiving in the Las Vegas airport two seasons ago and I’m calling on you now hoping it is you and yours that stops him. 🙏🏽☕️✌🏽💙💪🏽🦅🪶
I think the Trump administration is try to kill off as many Americans as possible to avoid the demands of their wanting food and medical to come to down to affordable prices.
And Schumer charges tickets for his book tour.
If Schumer stays you lose Americans' support.
We don't care about your stupid rules, he has to go, simply inform him he's no longer the leader and choose a new one.
If you can't stand up to him, you have no chance against Trump.
Schumer must go.
The supreme quality of leadership is unquestionable integrity
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Schumer doesn't have this and too damn few Senators do. But it is something y'all need to find before asking to another damn thing in support of you fricking back benchers.
Boycott all campaign contributions to Senate Dems until Chuck Schumer steps down as Minority Leader. Don’t legitimize them until they legitimize themselves with a leader that represents action #StepDownChuckSchumer
Unfortunately, Cory, the minority leader @schumer.senate.gov pissed away the only bargaining chip the @democrats.senate.gov had. So all you can do about it for the remainder of the fiscal year is write strongly worded letters and ask for money.
He ignored the courts before. Now, he’s trying to erase them. Trump already tried to overturn an election—now he’s coming for the judges who stand in his way. If the judiciary falls, what’s next? This isn’t just legal warfare—it’s a battle for democracy.
Comments
Just say when.
I mean besides these posts.
Simply not acceptable and he’s on a media tour flaunting his failure. Beyond out of touch. Please act. Thank you.
This is a serious problem. I'm not doubting that. I'm starting to worry if we took to the streets you'd ask Republicans if it's okay.
Where on earth is the democratic game?
Do you do any strategic planning?
Ugh 😩 no wonder dems ratings suck— get with it!
You, sir, in the upper branch of Congress, a position of great power, should be actually doing something.
You know why I’m here. Just like everyone else. This isn’t going away.
Chuck gotta go.
First Senator to call for him to step down publicly is gonna pull in $10m in a week. You could use the cash.
Another strongly worded statement?
Grow a pair of balls and shut these clowns down.
Now would be great.

Dems - don’t ask us for any more money until you start doing your jobs.
DO SOMETHING
Or I’ll tell your Beard on you.
That’s what we demand and expect from our Democrat leadership.
