And now, the gentleman from Brooklyn ...
In the midst of the fascist melee down at the US Capitol yesterday, something quietly notable happened -- New York State's senior senator, and a guy from Brooklyn, became the Majority Leader to-be (or designate or elect, I don't friggin' know) after the run-off elections in Georgia.
He will also be the first Jewish Majority Leader, the most powerful Jew in American history.
Schumer was elected to Congress in 1980 after serving in the New York State Legislature so this is the culmination of a more than-40 year journey to the pinnacle, the summit, the very top of American legislative power.
So while some may try to burn American down, its democracy is hanging tight, Brooklyn-strong.
UPDATE: Read more about what this might mean for NYC.
