Schumer: "Today Leader Jeffries and I are joining together to push legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country ... we call our legislation, 'stop the steal'"

JFC. Schumer sure has learned. 🙄 We need new leadership now.

chrinfinity.bsky.social•18 days ago

Shame they wasted an extra three days thinking up the name

katechief.bsky.social•19 days ago

They are clueless

loveisphere.bsky.social•19 days ago

Trump, Musk and sycophants don’t care about the Constitution or legislation or laws. The coup continues to move forward. This is Trump’s second attempt to seize dictatorial power. His first was violent and easy to call out in the moment. This one is extremely dangerous in a completely different way.

beulahmo.bsky.social•19 days ago

Are we really this impotent at this point? Is there nobody remaining who can enforce laws already on the books??

fresistl.bsky.social•18 days ago

Shumer as your leader. Those days are long gone.

Nice idea.

Where are the teeth ?

waternymph.bsky.social•19 days ago

If Musk is indeed breaking the law why not issue a warrant for his arrest?

bruce-71.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah. Who is going to do that? The FBI? DOJ?

waternymph.bsky.social•19 days ago

Washington PD. Robbery.

“Meddling”? PLEASE, can we get a new minority leader???

itgetzbybuckner.bsky.social•19 days ago

they are so clueless and out of touch.

215poundsonthemoon.bsky.social•19 days ago

Dems appointed a record number of judges the past 4 years and accomplished record setting legislation on climate, prescription drugs, ad infinitum.

Stop bashing Dems.

MAGA owns this mess! Blame them!

chocvader.bsky.social•19 days ago

This isn’t a campaign — it’s a coup! We need fighters, not talkers.

215poundsonthemoon.bsky.social•19 days ago

Dems do not control Congress.

benjaminrose.bsky.social•19 days ago

If you can watch this press conference & not immediately recoil from how weak, inept, & out of touch it is you’re part of the problem. This is a pathetic showing & calling it so doesn’t mean it isn’t the republicans fault.

enoughistoomuch.bsky.social•19 days ago

Chuck Chuck Chuck!! Thats about all I’ve got! Please do better and don’t adopt their bullshit tag lines. Nice to see some progress tho. Maybe fast- track it!!??

chuckfloyd.bsky.social•19 days ago

They have no power to pass legislation (minority), but they can enter information into the public record & introducing bills that would never be passed is one way to do that. I know it feels useless, & it mostly is... sadly. So, yeah, omg is appropriate response in my opinion.

Houston, we’ve got a problem. And it is us.

leeobrien.bsky.social•18 days ago

I'm confused, if it's unlawful, then a law is already on the books, it just needs to be enforced.

They need to clean house and unleash the new gen of the Democratic Party. This is painful to watch.

Now I feel so much better about the Dem plan 🙄🙄🙄

friscokidd.bsky.social•19 days ago

Didn't think they had it in them. An intern must have come up with that.

resist2025now.bsky.social•18 days ago

Great. @schumer.senate.gov When they break that law are you going to offer up a new bill asking them to please stop? What a joke.

exposurejb.bsky.social•19 days ago

Right?

rdgreid.bsky.social•19 days ago

“Stop the Steal????” WTF?

Someone alert the Onion.

rdgreid.bsky.social•19 days ago

Fiddling like zeroes as the constitutional order burns.

danocubs.bsky.social•19 days ago

Too old, Chuck. Entirely too old. Every time he looks over the top of his spectacles, I think he's aged another 5-10 years. Chuck, have some of your younger interns write you some new material.

Yep, we’re boned.

alygrey.bsky.social•19 days ago

I would like to see everything in the Senate come to a screeching halt. Go nuclear. Block and stall and disrupt absolutely everything. Please. Something more than a bill that has no chance.

brotherpluto.bsky.social•19 days ago

ffs

tommy44.bsky.social•19 days ago

These guys simply don’t get it. Stay between the lines, don’t push hard enough, just play the long campaign. THIS IS WAR! It has been for 30 years and as a Democrat, you have never seen the forest for the trees. You’re weak and ineffective. Resign your leadership positions NOW.

roadflipper.bsky.social•19 days ago

really. the most clueless people in the Democratic party

nmcarlito.bsky.social•19 days ago

You can post an 'opinion response' to Asha, but it really doesn't do jackshit for anyone. At least post a reply that includes your senator or house rep. They may not be doing enough for you, but at least then your voice will be heard by some who can change things. (apologies Asha, faithful follower)

chocvader.bsky.social•19 days ago

I just…

pintogoboom.bsky.social•19 days ago

acinonnap.bsky.social•19 days ago

They need people to be physically stopping what's going on, right now. The crimes—and the nation—will be over and done with by the time any of that legislation happens.

kimberlybos.bsky.social•19 days ago

He needs to resign as Leader

bigtmoney.bsky.social•19 days ago

Useless. Bringing a piece of paper to a gun fight.

beulahmo.bsky.social•19 days ago

If MAGA is in control of the FBI and DoJ, what do they do, though? Serious question.

dingodingo14.bsky.social•19 days ago

Scream loudly, I guess. Trump controls any law enforcement that has the authority to do anything. Schumer is woefully out of touch, but there isn't much that Democrats can do.

lovemyhorse2025.bsky.social•19 days ago

That horse has already left the flaming barn fire.

michelemanos.bsky.social•19 days ago

Legislating and lecturing their way to end a coup. Excellent.

wbrushing.bsky.social•19 days ago

I hope to god that when I am this old and out of touch one of my younger friends will take me aside and give me the tough love that Chuck so dearly needs right now.

lightboxtherapy.bsky.social•19 days ago

ineffective.. and embarrassing..

bershod.bsky.social•19 days ago

The incompetence of our elected officials is jus staggering

greencentaur.bsky.social•19 days ago

Chuck, while you’re crafting legislation, Elon et al are changing the country dumbass!

bgsa.bsky.social•19 days ago

Oh good grief! We don't need another bill. We need for Democrats to fight what's being done to us NOW, not in the future! Enforce the law!!!

markcstanley.bsky.social•19 days ago

Not sure if this is the weapons grade trolling we might think it is…..

measton.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah, that’ll show ’em 🤦🏼‍♂️

fixthemix.bsky.social•19 days ago

That’s their go to trick for abdication. Pretending there’s no law covering clearly unlawful acts. Then propose legislation they know won’t pass. Assholes.

stevejohnson1949.bsky.social•19 days ago

Simple Q: what shud the Dems do for the State of the Union? Boycott? Show up & walk out? Stay & boo?

hunjun.bsky.social•19 days ago

During Dem's statement Musz stole infinite amount of data, set a virus in Tres. payment sys., sent all $$$ offshore and worse will not pay taxes on it.
Trump literally gave a bank robber the 'code' to America's safe. Those Musz twinks will be riding high until sad fall from window in Moscow.

mspeggyhill.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is not the kind of urgent/clear communication that is going to reach the masses. Even nutty Cuomo w his daily morning Covid pressers informed the public better. I guess these guys are just looking for bipartisan scraps when they need to get out the bullhorn to wake up the nation. It matters.

johnmaun.bsky.social•19 days ago

They truly are deaf, or complicit.

cyb3rcherrie.bsky.social•19 days ago

this is worse than when they showed up to the capitol in kente after George Floyd 🤦‍♀️

jg262.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wow. Time to step aside Chuck. Clearly you can’t meet the moment

jcucco.bsky.social•19 days ago

Besides the fact that it’s a late, ridiculous response with no chance in hell of getting out of any committee much less voted on, most of the shit happening is illegal by the laws in existence today. Do something about that. Sue them for Pete’s sake. What is wrong with the Dems? They are hopeless.

motownjimmie.bsky.social•19 days ago

…. and if they don’t stop, I’ll personally write them a letter.

yargmit.bsky.social•19 days ago

As an aging white guy, it is time to celebrate experience while realizing that some with less experience but more knowledge of current communication strategy and vigor should be in charge too. They can always come to you for advice. Schumer just stop talking please.

ubuntu4all.bsky.social•19 days ago

I’m an aging white lady and I’m with you 💯 %. They need to go to become like a veteran player/coach mentor role. On the sidelines, watching the young ones get after it! It’s time!
