We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

Here are the 8 Democratic senators who just voted to move forward with an agreement to end the shutdown: Catherine Cortez Masto Dick Durbin John Fetterman Maggie Hassan Tim Kaine Angus King (I) Jacky Rosen Jeanne Shaheen

Andy Kessler at the WSJ, who I used to be quite friendly with, has lost his mind. He's claiming that Mamdani and others are pushing for anarchy. WTF is he talking about? Literally this entire column is "things I dislike are anarchy and bad, things I like are not and good."

It is almost impossible to emphasize how unprofessional this is. Immigration enforcement agents pepper sprayed a car driving in the opposite direction, which was in no way a threat to them, hitting a toddler. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/09/c...

Three CFPB probes into companies backed by billionaire Marc Andreessen have been halted as bureau investigations have ground to a halt, including inquiries into the popular cash advance app EarnIn and Point Digital Finance, a provider of so-called alternative mortgages.

Justin Herbert somehow got this to Ladd McConkey

this is kinda true, but also kinda not true, King and CCM were anti-shutdown from Day 1 and they probably got enough support to roll Schumer (now, is being weak enough to be rolled over by Angus King a tenable political position? no.)

All of this is downstream from a theory of politics that dominates this country which says that only Democrats have agency

Dicker... DOINKer!

This gets at the nature of political power. Right now at the federal level Republicans have the vast majority of it. Not all, but much, much more than Democrats. And when you have that advantage you can put the other party in lose-lose situations & force them to make unpopular choices.

this is designed in a lab to be maximally enraging *because* it is true. this die was cast in 2024 when dems lost all control and everything from then to now that immiserates you is the fault of republicans, who won’t listen and don’t care, which is lightning level enraging.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

You can say that the coming spike in health care costs and overal gutting of government services is 100% Trump's fault AND that the national Democratic party in Congress is failing as an opposition party. Those are wholly conistent views.

Okay, anyway gongshow of this aside, a very important note: there is another cloture vote! 4 days, because Rand Paul is going to draw it out. The squishes have no spines, at all, and this goes two ways. Incandescent anger, especially at Kaine and CCM/Rosen.

Sen. Lucy Football (D-NH)

There were eight votes here. King isnt a Democrat, Fetterman is Fetterman. Add four “small tight states with razor thin margins” Senators who don’t need a leadership push on this, and you’re left with Kaine and Durbin. IMO the only coordination here was Durbin covering for Warner.

"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end

Disappointing loss for the Sixers

🧪This is a must watch. Please watch tonight's episode @60minutes.bsky.social. Joan Brugge is an eminent scientist that was one of the first pioneers of 3D culture in breast cancer. She had two of her grants canceled last spring. We used her protocols to develop our own for our research.

People are very aware of how the Senate “works,” and that’s exactly why they are so angry

Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???

We’re gonna eat you. With forks.

Grimes can't turn the ball over like that

This is what I’m saying. THIS is the crew that undermined the Dem caucus and the voters?

Republicans are going to laugh at Democrats and do nothing on healthcare. They will continue helping Trump fulfill Project 2025. Dems learn nothing.

Senate Democrats would have been better off not even doing this press conference they are beclowning themselves

Reporter: What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation? Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date… Reporter: There is no guarantee that this will become law. Shaheen: There was never a guarantee that it would be become law.

Sorry, but no woman could ever get away with this.

I tried listening to this press conference but just couldn't do it

ANDRE DRUMMOND WITH *TWO* THREE-POINTERS ALERT 🚨🚨🚨

All of these are retiring or not up this cycle.

EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached: Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Hassan Kaine King Rosen Shaheen If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is predatory capitalism. They gave tax breaks to billionaires so that folks could get bills like this for healthcare.

Gillibrand also votes no, that's 39 nos now. There's going to be essentially zero cover from the Dem Caucus for the people supporting this deal

yes senator they're roasting you on Bluesky, sir yes full roast sir, the communists, the wine moms, Bill Kristol, they're all roasting you, sir no, sir, I haven't seen him in Waiting for Godot, but he's roasting you, too, sir

Heritage is just cartoonishly evil. Just the worst scum on the face of the planet.

Mark Kelly a NO, notable as he was allegedly one of the cavers

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

FFS...

the CPL Final hosts are having A time during this delay and drawing smiley faces on the desks

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Democrats, you have fully lost your damn minds. You don't give a damn inch to bullies. Period.

It sucks that the moderate Democrats that are leading this are mostly retiring
