Summary
Democratic governors criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not doing enough to block Trump’s cabinet nominees and policies.
In a conference call, governors led by JB Pritzker and Maura Healey urged stronger resistance, particularly against nominees Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
Andy Beshear and Tim Walz stressed the need for better messaging and media presence, while Laura Kelly called for a stronger digital strategy.
Schumer defended Democrats’ efforts but faced frustration over state leaders bearing the brunt of opposition efforts.
I mean sure both parties are going to serve the Almighty shareholder by finding reasons to avoid wealth taxes, upholding capitalism where the strongest survive (except for corporations that lobby well and need bailed out of course), and using their positions in the government to personally profit. But at least one party is going to recognize that trans people are humans, make an effort to oversee environmental or workers rights, or even admit that human beings deserve to eat in the process.
