3. you from NY?
Mon Feb 2, 2026, 08:45 PM
Monday

...Schumer isn't the king of the Democrats in the Senate, much less have any ability to 'funnel' anything on their behalf right now in the minority.

Whatever he says on Israel is his own initiative, and likely that of his constituency in NY.

You from there?
