Politico 2022: “Both of Chuck Schumer’s daughters work for the tech giants: Alison Schumer works as a privacy and politics product marketing manager at Facebook parent company Meta, while Jessica Schumer is a registered lobbyist for Amazon in New York state.”
Wait a minute. Is he voting for the CR so he can get out of town for his book tour?!!!?
If they vote it down he might have to spend time next week trying to fix it w/ the GOP. He might miss his money-making book tour? And here I thought he was just a spineless coward. Time to retire as leader Chuck
that’s the weirdest part. can we please guess at the title? fake pride and subservience? on cowardice? the audacity of standing for nothing? kakeem does too. the holocaust: rhyming words. fascism and capitulation.
If @schumer.senate.gov and the @democrats.org as an institution won’t defend democracy and do EVERYthing they can (a la McConnell) to slow down the march to fascism, then perhaps attention needs to turn to growing @workingfamilies.org Party from a locally focused organization into a national party.
That whole "we can't bribe Congress but an Unspecified Outside Group can buy a bunch of copies of a book 'written' by a sitting Congresscritter" loophole really needs to close
I would really like to hear what he has to say about Donald Trump and Elon Musk in this context, but not enough to pay $45. Perhaps he will stop to speak to the common people who will likely be there greet him when he arrives at the event.
I doubt Schumer would've made his "I'M VOTING YES" speech if he didn't have the 7 other D votes needed to pass CR. Fetterman (shock) already said yes. Just 6 more knee-benders needed. I was nauseous when I heard Schumer, cuz I felt like this was our last chance to take a hard stand vs the insanity.
As a Jewish person to be blunt, you and the rest of the corporate neoliberal Dems have moved beyond being spineless Vichyites to being an obsequious spineless band of weasel Judenrat - I’d rather you @ least tried to be like the Warsaw Ghetto resistance fighters.

Leading is so HARD.
“How to capitulate like a COWARD”
Maybe their priorities are a bit conflicted.
Jesus Fucking Christ, did this guy not get into public service to champion democracy?
History is not going to care about much else w/r/t Chuck Schumer, but it is going to ask what he did in this singularly critical moment.
You wanted to lead. Fucking Lead.

They care about the food, medical care, jobs, security, world standing, tariffs and that he just voted to fuck us all.
Nancy Pelosi was his spine; she left House Leader with his balls, spine, etc

Schumer aka Schmuker
It's hard to concentrate on fighting the MAGA agenda when we have to worry about our own Dems doing the same
Who are our allies in this fight, feeling a bit like Canada
Your assignment is to shut that shit down with protests.

Probably did not get the trip insurance or pay the refundable fares also... no excuse... but it explains what we are seeing.
