Is Chuck Schumer still employed? [View all]

Quietest dang employee I’ve ever had.

I mean, it’s a leadership position, and I’m not really sure what he might be accomplishing behind the scenes…but isn’t there a need for some weekly reports to his bosses? A strategy, a plan?

In leadership, what matters isn’t effort or a plan for getting the tenth most important thing done on your list. You’ve got to have a plan and action for the 1st through 3rd most important things on your list.

Personally i wish the minority leaders of both senate and house would coordinate messaging so that we make a dent in what Heather Cox Richardson’s substack called “narrative warfare” (credit for the term to Bill Southworth).

Our leaders need to be strategic thinkers, great communicators, and visionaries.
Pete Buttagieg is one who aces all three categories. Obama also. Bernie Sanders is another, whether you like him or not. (AOC is fantastic, but maybe not quite strategic enough, at least not yet. Katie Porter was a great communicator but apparently made a strategic mistake.) Name others.

I may personally tend towards progressivism but I’d celebrate capable, brilliant moderate leaders just as much.
And where is our “narrative warfare”?
