Schumer made the smart move.

how Hitler was able to rise to power.

You accept the propaganda that there were only two choices. Pelosi had the better solution--one she knows from experience. If the GOP wanted Democratic votes, they needed to negotiate with Democrats on the bill. If Schumer would have stood firm, the Trump administration would have had no choice but to negotiate.

Do you know what is in that bill you celebrate? Besides the increased funding for deportations and reduction in funding for social services, it curtails congressional efforts to stop Trump's tariffs. It enables the greater consolidation of authoritarian power. The argument that Democrats would have been blamed is the most craven of all. To pretend this is about mere PR ignores, and collaborates with, totalitarian actions. These are not ordinary times.

I stand with the Democrats who see this bill and circumstance for what it is, and they are the majority of the party. I do not accept that collaboration is an acceptable choice.
