Summary
In a passionate critique, Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls out Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for his sudden reversal in supporting a continuing resolution that benefits Wall Street at the expense of working people. She argues that Schumer’s belief that he alone understands the best course of action is absurd, given that most House and Senate Democrats opposed the measure. Crockett emphasizes that Democrats are actively defending democracy, challenging illegal Republican actions in court, and fighting for the American people. Clearly, Schumer’s position shift was motivated by financial markets rather than genuine concern for the country. Ultimately, she calls for new Democratic leadership prioritizing people over corporate interests.
Key Takeaways:

Progressive Perspective
Jasmine Crockett’s critique lays bare the fundamental problem with Democratic leadership: too many so-called “pragmatic” politicians are more concerned with appeasing Wall Street than standing up for working people. While progressives continue to win crucial legal battles and fight for economic justice, centrists like Schumer keep selling out their base to protect corporate interests. The future of the Democratic Party—and the country—depends on leaders willing to challenge the status quo and fight unapologetically for the people—ultra-wealthy as problem-solvers. The progressive path forward lies not in trusting self-serving billionaires but in prioritizing policies that promote equity, competence, and collective prosperity over individual greed.
