I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is: "My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities." 1/14

"They regularly *kidnap* our children. They steal our mothers and fathers. They send innocent people to foreign concentration camps without recourse. And today, once again, they took the life of a fellow Americar who objected to this reign of terror."

"We are at a crisis point. And so tonight, as a leader of the opposition - a leader of the American opposition to his sick authoritarian vision - I want to tell you clearly what we plan to do to *stop* it and to protect Americans during this government-inflicted crisis."

"First, we will do all we can to turn off the spigot of violence. I can announce that every Democratic senator will vote no on funding the Dept of Homeland Security. We will do our constitutional duty of oversight and prevent this rogue agency from seizing any more power to terrorize the public."
