The idea of demoralizing your base--ahead of crucial special elections & midterms that will be decided by base turnout!--is politically suicidal. And let's be real--Chuck Schumer has never in his life, not once, successfully exploited a Trump overreach.

I hope I'm wrong. Maybe Martin has lots of plans & insights he's keeping to himself. Maybe he's got a strategy to win the trust of the grassroots & strike fear into the GOP. Maybe he wants the DNC job out of a desire to beat the GOP. But right now he's part of the problem.

Again: if a shutdown occurs, it will be a Republican Party shutdown. Nothing to do with Dems. Republicans control the House and are in the majority. They have the votes to keep the government running. They're just too corrupt and too crazy to govern.
Sen. Andy Kim says he's prepared to support a government shutdown to Trump administration lawlessness

Notice how this, and explosion in price of eggs, has had no impact on Trump's popularity. It's because people don't view presidential candidates as policy icons.
👀 New CBS poll: Two-thirds of Americans (including ~50% of Rs) say Trump is not focused enough on lowering prices A majority (51%, including ~20% of Rs) say Trump’s policies will make the price of food & groceries go up

Bring in the likes of @Leahgreenb and @brianbeutler and @benwikler--actual experts at taking on the GOP. Exclude treacherous hacks and pathological careerists. Our party is too old, careerist, mediocre, lacking in adversarial courage. Shake it up.

People fixate on Trump, but your standard Republican like this hack doesn't accept the rule of law.
Outrageous. Obama Judge Paul Engelmayer didn’t just bar @elonmusk and @doge from Treasury systems, he barred the Secretary of the Treasury himself. Without citing a single law or even allowing Trump admin to appear in court! This outlaw should be reversed immediately and Engelmayer should be forbidden by higher courts from ever hearing another case against the Trump admin.

So that we're clear: whereas the concept of national security is nonpartisan, the Republican administration is restricting Security Clearance to partisan loyalists. When national security is politicized like this, it isn't national security.

Extraordinary how Sanders has stepped up.
Yes. We have a major constitutional crisis. Americans did not fight and die to protect democracy so that the richest man in the world could single-handedly dismantle agencies that protect workers, consumers & children. Together, we can and will defeat Trump’s authoritarianism.
