Peter GleickChuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up.
"Quick! Somebody get Chuck Schumer to write a strongly worded letter."
And woe to the Senate staffer that has to show this to him.
OGJester has moved@petergleick Chuck Schumer is a monument to the argument that the Democratic Party needs to be dismantled and replaced with a party that represents the real left. They are woefully inadequate for dealing with the challenge of this moment.

I'd be satisfied with the Republican Party getting completely discredited and the Democratic Party splitting into a new, saner conservative party and an actual left party.

Let them eat strongly worded letters, Chuck!

Laffy@petergleick Hoooboy.
Steve Popovich@petergleick the word for Schumer, and really all party leadership, is "feckless". They're too afraid of pissing off large donors to make a stand. "Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything." (Often attributed to Hamilton )
Edelruth, PBS Passport HolderIn all seriousness though, we should be leaning hard on the elected Republicans regarding every abuse of the constitution, every theft of a congressional power, and every monstrous act (deporting without due process; collaborating with a human trafficking business).
We are letting the Republicans away with abdication if their role, and we must stop doing that.
I'm actually frustrated that I do not have as single GOP-er in my state or federal jurisdictions, until Trump.
Maxilo Overit@petergleick Democratic means of defeating fascist explosions from within aren't going to be enough to pull the bastards from power. The clock is ticking.

"We sent him a strongly worded letter" is Chuck's sitcom catchphrase.

LevkaDemocrats? Feh. Good cop, bad cop, both cops.
DoomsdaysCW@petergleick ChucK Schumer is very concerned!
noplasticshower@petergleick I shake my cane in your general direction
Dean F.@petergleick Oh, that's beautiful!
winter@petergleick This is kind of the plot of the Anno Godzilla movie, isn't it?

Schumer must resign, or I don't vote. I'm not his party.
