"It is past time for both Jeffries and Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition. Whether you are a Democrat, or simply a democrat, we all deserve better."

The Guardian · It’s time for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to step downBy Mehdi Hasan

@kakape

Makes Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzgers explicit calling out of what Trump and the GOP are trying to do with troops and with redistricting very important. If you call out the malfeasance in advance you innoculate the electorate against disinformation about the election. Maybe Congressional Dems should get on board.

Democratic leadership, in Congress and at the DNC, exhibit what they call "oppositional defiant disorder". All these great ideas are out there and people have been screaming at them to do something and they just cross their arms and stamp their little feet and whine "I don't wanna!"

They DID come up with a campfire song though. So we've got that going for us.

After Ghislaine Maxwell Interview, Concerns Mount Over Possibility of Pardon

Senator Charles Schumer, the Democratic leader, questioned whether Mr. Blanche had offered Ms. Maxwell “some kind of a corrupt deal so that she can exonerate Donald Trump.”

I just called both my Senators, Gillebrand's office answered right away, and was very sympathetic to my frustration with the Democrats. Schumer's office went to voicemail, which was at least turned on. I don't think ive ever spoken to a human being at his office.

I want to see more Corey Booker filibusters to block this thing. It can't be stopped, but they could make a great show of slowing down past the 4th
