DELETE THIS TWEET, @SenSchumer.

You, @SpeakerPelosi, and other establishment Dems try so hard to impress media elites with your "civility" and "bipartisanship."

As Trump was kidnapping babies, the two of you were trying to give him a "signature" infrastructure achievement...
@SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi This version of the Democratic Party enabled George W. Bush's war based on lies.

It has allowed unfettered corruption and lawlessness from Trump and his accomplices.

WE NEED A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY

For the people, not the Beltway.
@SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi Here's some context from my friend @Will_Bunch:

MILQUETOAST #IMPEACHMENT

1. Dem leaders should have impeached Trump the minute they took the House. On ALL his abuses.

2. Short of that, they should have impeached him when the #Ukraine story broke and he was on the ropes for a day.

But what we have now is a meandering mess.
And I said so at the time. Receipts:

The racist POTUS kidnapped migrant babies to intimidate asylum-seekers.

And we're holding lengthy hearings on the details of Ukraine policy????

Why are Dem leaders so bad at this?

To those who say "but centrists win elections" riddle me this:

What's the point of winning elections if the country keeps tilting to the far right?

Example: Obama won and then expanded Bush's drone policy, extrajudicial killings, and indefinite detention.
In a country where progressive issues have majority support, how is the Supreme Court now a rightwing rubber stamp?

Why are we leaving the #ParisAgreement?

Why are kids dying in cages?

Why are racism and white supremacy flourishing?

How do we have such #ExtremeInequality?
How are we going backward on women's rights?

How are we turning into #Gilead??

It's because despite occasional Dem victories, the system is structured to preserve the patriarchy and oligarchy. It's designed to enrich the rich and powerful at everyone else's expense.

I WAS WRONG IN 2016

The more time passes, the more I realize 2016 was the time to overhaul the system. It was the time for a political revolution.

And here's why: Winning one election (eg. Obama or Clinton) is winning a battle, but the Dem establishment has been losing the war.
My vigorous advocacy for Hillary Clinton in 2016 was in good faith. I thought it was the right thing to do. But I ended up in a bitter fight with #Bernie supporters whose progressive views I share. I regret it.

But we ALL have to look inside and own up. That's what I've done.
That's why you don't see me attacking Hillary to ingratiate myself with anyone. That would be cheap and disingenuous.

All I can do is keep trying to grow and evolve. Because I have a fair number of followers on Twitter, it's a public process.

Hopefully it helps heal wounds.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
