Senator Chuck Schumer, in a bold display of bureaucratic bravado, decided that the best way to counter President Trump's $2.8 billion funding freeze on Harvard was to send a sternly penned note. Because nothing says "serious consequences" like a letter, right?

Enter CNN's Scott Jennings, who couldn't resist highlighting the futility of Schumer's gesture. He quipped that sending such a letter in today's political climate is akin to placing a slice of cheese on a frozen hamburger patty on a grill—a nod to Schumer's infamous grilling mishap. Remember that time when Schumer's culinary skills were as undercooked as his political strategies?
Jennings didn't stop there. He pointed out the absurdity of Harvard, an institution with a $53 billion endowment, crying foul over losing federal funds. Especially when the university has been criticized for its lackluster response to antisemitism on campus. Jennings aptly questioned why taxpayers should bankroll an elite institution that seems more invested in ideological indoctrination than upholding American values.
Social media users joined the fray, mocking Schumer's reliance on letters as a means of political action. One user sarcastically remarked, "I am currently drafting a strong letter, strongly and urgently asking Schumer to resign." Another quipped, "Pretty clear Democrats in Congress don't actually believe Trump is a threat to the rule of law."
In the end, Schumer's "strong letter" serves as a testament to the Democratic Party's penchant for performative politics. While they pen letters, the Trump administration takes decisive action. Perhaps it's time for Schumer to realize that in the realm of politics, actions speak louder than words—no matter how strongly they're worded.
