I Used to Work for Chuck Schumer. He's Pushing Young People Away From the Democratic Party. I blame my former boss for the party's failures.

This #OpEd from a former Schumer staffer explains why they blame their former boss for the party's failures.

Also don't skirt records retention laws, FOIA, National Archives, etc. Don't bring in unread and unnecessary actors into top secret discussions outside of the SCIF. These people must be held accountable and Hegseth should resign.

Pennsylvania is the proud home to over 150,000 Ukrainian and Ukrainian American people. Some have planted roots here for generations - and tens of thousands are here to find safety after fleeing Vladimir Putin's aggression. I know they, along with countless other Pennsylvanians, watched in shock as the President and Vice President berated President Zelenskyy and advanced Russia's propaganda directly from the White House.
The Oval Office should be a place where we advance American values β€” not where we retreat from them. When the President and Vice President attacked President Zelenskyy today, they served to undermine the safety and security of America and our national security interests. I support a diplomatic end to this war. Achieving this requires an honest reckoning of who started the war and who the aggressor is, and to that question, there is only one answer: Russia.
In a matter of just a few weeks, the Trump-Vance Administration has alienated many of our allies and is seemingly trying to take us from being the leader of the free world to a hemispheric power, signaling to our friends in Europe that they are on their own. Friends and adversaries elsewhere are taking notice. That is weakness that does not serve the interests of freedom and liberty, and it will create a more dangerous world.
Strong leaders stand with their allies and they stand on their principles - and I believe we must continue to advocate for the values of freedom and liberty, not cower to dangerous dictators like Vladimir Putin.
