Chuck Schumer is bringing the fight to Trump and republicans right now [View all]

...giving his first address as minority leader.

Check it out later. Not the portrait that's been presented by many here of Schumer knuckling under or sucking up to the new government.

Sen. Schumer: "America can't afford a Twitter presidency."

“Too many of his Cabinet picks support the same, hard-right, doctrinaire positions that many in the Republican Party have held for years — policies that the American people have repeatedly rejected. If Donald Trump lets the hard-right members of Congress and his Cabinet run the show … if he adopts their timeworn policies — which represent the elites, special interests and corporate America, not the working man and woman — his presidency will not succeed.”
