Quote of the Day
“[Schumer] doesn’t understand the moment and he doesn’t have the capacity to rise to the occasion and protect our country from fascism,” Aaron Regunberg told The Bulwark. “I don’t know any normie Democrat who is not completely disgusted and enraged by what Schumer has done. I’m getting messages from the most establishment party hack people I know who are like ‘what the f***.’ There’s a clear consensus here that something needs to happen.”
Schumer's handling of the government funding fight has caused such damage to his standing in the party that even supporters were privately discussing this week whether it represented the nadir of his lengthy political career.
