Senator Schumer, back in March you could have taken a stand to protect our Social Safety net, that would have been a better hill to die on.

The people would have been behind you when that shutdown happened. Back in March you and a minority of Democrats gave Krasnov everything he wanted and we got nothing in return. Our Social Safety net is being gutted.

I do admire your taking a stand now though, that is the definition of fighting harder.
