“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

No, false. This wasn’t about a mere “policy agenda”—pre-Trump shutdowns were, which is also why they were much shorter—it was about egregious lawbreaking. No one explained how it could’ve gone any other way? I did. Just put on the red hat and say you like the serially lying authoritarian, Josh.

Jon Stewart "Can't F**king Believe" Democrats Caved on the Shutdown youtu.be/eFI6MwlLJ08

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings." They did their part. The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday. They did their part. 8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night. They did not do their part.

It’s time for new leadership

#GVerse MoveOn calls for Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov to step down from leadership. “Around 80% of MoveOn members that the group surveyed said that Schumer should quit his leadership position.” It is time to let someone else take the wheel & lead!

So we make a deal that allows several Republican senators in key states to vote for ACA subsidies next month and get political cover back home, but not enough to pass it. Sounds great.

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

“Tell your children who the cowards were.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

Absolutely correct

Check out the comments. The responses are united in their GTFOH rejection to being scolded this way.

Any Democratic senator not publicly calling for the ouster of Schumer and Durbin can be assumed to be in agreement with the policy of surrender. Any Democratic senator criticizing "internal recriminations," - in this context! the gall of these people! - much moreso.

This "Well *I* voted no" BS isn't fooling anyone. Again, we're not dumb. You can't hide behind a sham, cynical, obviously PR-fueled no vote. Either actually fight for the American people, or step the fuck aside. The time for feckless political games is over. And that goes for all Dem Senators.

Why would I get back to “fighting united” with people who repeatedly sell me out? How is it “our victory” if the people who are victorious will not fight for the vision they promise?

I think you meant to address this to Schumer and the 8 traitors. We’re all better fighters than them, they should follow us. They are not capable of leading.

By not replacing Schumer, everything else you say feels like gaslighting

Really. You're going to tell us what to do? We're the ones paying the bill. Whose lives are on the line. Who are being abducted and deported. Who keep showing up to fight ICE We are the 7+ million who showed up and then voted Get rid of Schumer. Clean your house, get it in order, then listen.

You've broken our trust. We showed up in record numbers to protest and vote in support of the stand you all were making. And you betrayed that trust. Good luck getting that margin of victory again. You wasted that moment.

We were fighting him and then 8 weak out of touch senators destroyed our bargaining chip....and our momentum. If democrats are going roll over and show our belly everytime things get tough....WHAT ARE WE DOING IT FOR?

You all just shit on any prospects the democrats had of taking back the senate next November. Wake the fuck up - you're not an opposition party and the people who care about democracy are leaving you.

With all due respect, you're not going to get past "internal recriminations" unless and until the current congressional leadership steps aside.

Breaking MSNBC: The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

Tell that to Schumer and his betrayal with the gang of 8. They hope you forget by 28.

Call for new leadership in the Senate, loudly and publicly, or this is just more sound and fury, signifying nothing.

A felon whose sentence Trump commuted in the final hours of his first term has been sentenced to 27 months in prison after being accused of a range of criminal conduct — including physical and sexual assault — since Trump freed him. Jonathan Braun had a long history of violence.

these are the dumbest people on earth.

These senators who voted away access to healthcare for tens of millions of Americans really have the audacity to self righteously posture & pretend that they didn't just bow to the administration who has proven that they do not care if Americans starve or die from lack of healthcare access. #Pinks

No deal. No deal. No deal. We’re deeply furious. And we know there’s more disloyalty to America than just the 8.

Pointing at the opposition doesn’t hit as hard when y’all collaborate with them. New leadership needed in the Senate

This is how Trump negotiates and these suckers fell for it again: take away the status quo, i.e. what is either now the law anyway or what human decency would require, and then force the other side to negotiate just to get it back. Dumb doesn’t begin to describe it.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

I mean they're just saying it bsky.app/profile/atru...

weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

I am thankful.

Since the start of the Trump administration, the Justice Department has lost thousands of experienced attorneys and filled only a fraction of the vacancies amid hiring freezes, delays, and a shortage of qualified candidates.

President Trump’s housing finance director, Bill Pulte, fired internal watchdogs at Fannie Mae who were looking into multiple complaints against a high-ranking company officer close to him, according to people familiar with the matter.
