He even sounds like him, buying time, not condemning the revenge agenda of Trump.
On Trump pulling $400 million from Columbia: "So I think we have to see."
On #MahmoudKhalil :
"What did he do? I don’t know what he did, I don’t know what the charge against him is. So it’s a little premature to make a decision, except if he didn’t break the law, he should not be deported. If he broke the law, he should."

Interviewer (Lulu Garcia-Navarro) 'I’m curious how you think about how protests should be addressed, considering the context of what you just said. The Trump administration just announced it’s pulling $400 million in funding from Columbia University, giving the reason as “relentless violence, intimidation and antisemitic harassment.” I’m wondering what you make of that." Chuck Schumer: "Columbia did not do enough. I criticized them. And believe me, I believe in free speech, I believe in the right to protest, as you read in my book. I started my career protesting the Vietnam War. I say to some people, “If I were your age, I’d be protesting something or other.” So I get that, and I love it, and it’s about America. But when it shades over to violence and antisemitism, the colleges had to do something, and a lot of them didn’t do enough. They shrugged their shoulders, looked the other way. Columbia among them. So what did they do? They took away $400 million. I’m trying to find out what they took away. Are they taking away money from cancer research, or Alzheimer’s? What is the $400 million? It could be hurting all students. Students who go there who have nothing to do with the protest, students who might have protested peacefully, or Jewish students who were victims of some of those protests. So I think we have to see. My worry is that this $400 million was just done in typical Trump fashion: indiscriminately, without looking at its effect.'
Interviewer (Lulu Garcia-Navarro): "What do you make of what happened last weekend when ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate who is Palestinian, an activist and a green-card holder, who was one of the few participants in last year’s campus protests to identify himself publicly. Apparently Trump has made good on his campaign pledge and is set to deport him because of his participation." Chuck Schumer: "I don’t know all the details yet. They’re trying to come out, and there’ll be a court case which will determine it. If he broke the law, he should be deported. If he didn’t break the law and just peacefully protested, he should not be deported. It’s plain and simple. What does breaking the law mean to you in this context? It’s a legal issue, and it’s, what are Columbia’s rules, and what does it mean breaking them, and what are the legal rules? What did he do? I don’t know what he did, I don’t know what the charge against him is. So it’s a little premature to make a decision, except if he didn’t break the law, he should not be deported. If he broke the law, he should."

Interviewer (Lulu Garcia-Navarro): 'That sounds easy. But when we’re talking about the right to protest, breaking the law, not breaking the law — those things can be weaponized for political purposes. You can arrest political protesters, put them in prison, but they’re actually taking part in what is their constitutionally protected right." Chuck Schumer: "Well, if they’re just protesting, and they’re arrested, they shouldn’t be arrested for protesting as long as they go by the rules. Look, I get protests in front of my house all the time, but they have to have a permit and they have to obey certain rules. There are rules. But the bottom line is we have courts, and Khalil will go to court. And I have a lot of faith that the judge will give a fair ruling. It’s not the Trump administration, it’s an independent federal judge." Note Lulu Garcia-Navarro: [The day after we spoke, Schumer tweeted that Khalil should be punished by the legal system only for breaking criminal law, not for breaking university rules.]

Oh, thank God, #EdMarkey and #ElizabethWarren both voted against cloture for the continuing resolution.
I mean, it didn't help in the end because #ChuckSchumer is a #FecklessCoward who sold us out to the #GOP, but I can be _slightly_ less angry at my two senators for at least the next few days.
P.S. If you live in NV, IL, PA, NY, NH, MI, or HI, you should be VERY mad at one or both of your Dem senators. Find the group that's working on primarying them and volunteer.

Tesla Takedown University Village: Boycott Telsa. Defund Musk! tomorrow, March 15, 10-12. mobilize.us/indivisible/event/

MobilizeTesla Takedown University Village: Boycott Telsa. Defund Musk! · IndivisibleJoin us at University Village to say NO TO TESLA and Elon Musk! Our protests have been so successful that Musk and Trump are attacking our movement with childish insults, implying we're "fake" protestors and paid by George Soros. Sad. We're real and so is the 35% fall in Tesla's share price since we began our protests. We're only getting louder! We were able to nearly surround University Village last time. Let's show up in even bigger numbers this time. Gather on the four corners of the entrance near QFC at 2734 NE 45th St and tell our neighbors it's time to ditch Tesla, defund Musk, and stop Musk and Trump's coup! PLEASE DO: Bring signs (last week's signs were amazing!) Bring friends and family Bring US flags Bring drums or other noise-makers Dress for the weather! PLEASE DON'T: Bring weapons of any kind. This is a peaceful protest. Also, please remember that most Telsa drivers are likely on our side. Treat them with respect. We have not forgotten our friends in Ukraine. Feel free to bring flags and signs showing your support. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us—not politicians, not the media. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #DefundMusk #MuskorUs 📍 Where: 2734 NE 45th St 📅 When: Saturday, March 15th, 10am to Noon. Sign up now and bring a friend or two!

Chuck Schumer called the police on kids who were protesting in his office. Wouldn't even face them, coward that he is.

This motherfucker needs to resign today. He does not reflect the views or principles of his constituents, much less the will of the American people.
