This is probably the first real sign Schumer's leadership days are numbered.

Yeah, we're not going anywhere with MLF in charge.

Kelly declining to endorse Schumer for continued leadership is, uh, something.

I like this one personally

it's funny that Trump is the only guy who can take a cave and make it into a even Greater L

There's a lot of good reasons to be mad at the Dems from last night, but scapegoating federal workers by saying they should have "stopped whining" and go hungry for Thanksgiving so the shutdown would last longer is an prime example of missing the plot.

I have thoughts, and they aren’t going to fit neatly into Bluesky posts. Briefly: 1. The deal sucks. 2. Probably not as much as you think it does. 3. It’s good to be mad. 4. FFS, be madder at the GOP. 5. Strategy is hard. 5b. Timing matters. 6. The fight isn’t over. 7. Go pet a cat. (Or a dog.)

Dem pols really have 0 fear of their base and that kinda has to change.

every day I become more convinced that the Senate as an institution is fundamentally irredeemable

Vibes among House Democrats and activists, "The Senate is the enemy"

people think this is kayfabe to protect other mods, but there are mod senators who have already announced retirement (gary peters, for example) who didn’t go for this, this was moderate wildcatting, and they’re gonna need to be primary purged

gotta be some ambitious Dems in NV, NH and PA who would be happy to run in a presidential year at the end of a staggeringly unpopular second Trump term get your campaigns ready, folks

4 days of the party turning on them and incandescent anger may shift things. The thing about not having a spine is it goes two ways.

Dick Durbin voting for this isn't too shocking, he's a squishy establishment-type who's retiring next year after all. Good news is that all three major candidates running to replace him (Raja, Stratton, & Robin Kelly) all put out statements opposing it. It's that bad even Raja opposes it!

I think all this shows that the future of the Dem party is in the hands of ex-CIA Virginia suburban winemoms and Manhattan DSA Muslim socialists united on a message of "MAGA delenda est".

if the mods are gonna walk the plank, they’re going to do it alone, and good riddance.

imo if this is the case i think this is a sign the squish caucus grew large enough to 60 but didn't win over leadership

I think there’s probably a group of D senators who want this over and have concluded further pain ain’t gonna move Rs, I don’t think that’s a majority though

I think making the squishes walk the plank with no support from leadership would be a pretty caucus defining event. You're basically okaying primaries against anyone not retiring.

I do think there is a real chance that the caucus can intimidate the mods back into line

this is where I’m at it sounds like the mods are going to do this but they should walk the plank alone no cover from leadership, whatever deal goes through the House entirely on Republican votes, and they own the cave entirely

Stop following congressional procedure and news tidbits and rumors, it just drives you crazy. RedZone is on, witching hour.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June. It’s louder & clearer tonight.

Lmao

Mmmmmm, that is some right good copium there.

I really love this for them

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

yes I am a Spanberger-Mamdani democrat and we are the future

the future of the democratic party is a coalition of the wokest people on tumblr and absolutely dead-eyed pursuers of the national interest and the maximization of GDP

HISTORY MADE: Congrats to the next mayor of Albany, @dorceyformayor.bsky.social She will be the first Black mayor in the city’s history.

Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner. Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.

wow, I forgot how nice it feels to joyscroll; we should do this again

Thank you for your participation in this experiment by the Harvard Political Science department. The study has now completed successfully, with a positive result in finding the maximum amount of losing that is possible for new york to inflict on Cuomo

American left-wing patriotism is Jewish guys signing Christian anti-slavery hymns about the first Muslim mayor of New York and I think that’s beautiful
