Watch the Senate majority leader and Silicon Valley’s top man in Washington in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Monday’s news that Twitter’s board of directors accepted Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $44 billion offer to buy the social media platform sent shockwaves through leftist circles. The very prospect of unfettered—or somewhat less fettered—freedom of speech caused widespread freakouts among the purple-haired set and their more polished but equally vapid counterparts in the corporate media.
But let’s take a moment to indulge in a bit of schadenfreude at the expense of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has colluded with Big Tech and the mainstream media for years, and who stands to lose the most from a Musk-led Twitter.
A politician’s actions should speak louder than his words, but laudatory headlines in the press often ring loudest. Schumer has long enjoyed the benefit of a gaslighting, preferential media. In particular, they have covered up his recent (successful) efforts to stall reform bills at the behest of his Big Tech masters.
Consider The Intercept, a once-contrarian source that has fallen into step with the establishment narrative. A Friday headline conceals a great deal more than it reveals: “Chuck Schumer ‘Working Closely With Senator Klobuchar’ to Whip Votes For Antitrust Bills.”
The internal quotation marks are doing a lot of work. The truth is, Schumer would rather a floor vote on legislation reining in Big Tech never take place, no matter what his two-faced spokespeople instruct the media to say.
As the Senate’s top Democrat, Schumer has wielded his power to forbid both the Open Apps Market Act and the American Innovation and Choice Online Act from getting Senate floor votes until he has a guarantee of 60 votes to pass them, according to Time magazine.

Schumer is such a leftist clown. It would be so nice to watch him squirm.
He’s a loser anyway.
” It would be so nice to watch him squirm.”
I would rather see him dangle. As in dangle from the end of a rope.
Anything that makes Chuck Schumer unhappy is fine with me.
Two phrases forever intertwined.
I’d like to just slap those stupid glasses off his nose one time.......for some reason I think that would be satisfying as hell
“I’d like to just slap those stupid glasses off his nose one time...”
I think there is something to be said of a person that looks over their glasses at another person.
Ping
Just wait, Twitter will be accused of “election interference” this fall.
Biggest loser in the senate
