As a New Yorker, Senator Schumer is one of my Senators.

I have voted for him every time he was on the ballot. He's been a stalwart Democrat and at times, a powerful leader.

But I have to take exception to his "strongly worded letter." Does the Senator really think Trump can read it or understand it or, frankly, give a shit about what it says? His actions since the November election haven't given me hope, enthusiasm or confidence that our side has plans.

The Democrats are in a weak political position. That doesn't mean we should roll over and die. The tariffs and their inevitable results should provide plenty of ammunition to take to the American people. We need to break through the MAGA bubble or at least reach the independents and possibly some old-school Republicans.

We need more forceful and determined leadership who will put the screws to Trump both politically and in the media. They need to break through the barriers that Republicans have built around Trump. We need a change of tactics or of our leaders. The status quo hasn't stopped Trump or the rest of his clown show that is destroying our once great nation.

Let's see if I get flagged...
