I’m so tired of yall and I barely followed the saga yesterday

As predicted. We remain in the status quo until further notice

🚨BREAKING: In a win for Wisconsin voters, a state judge vacated a ruling that would have forced election officials to conduct mass citizenship checks — a move voting rights advocates warned could have wrongly purged some citizens from the rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I think it’s dumber. Folks with no emotional regulation following every step of a very stressful negotiation are practically asking for a tailspin

So, we're fucked.

Yep. Y'all would rather Karen out then actually carry out the strategy.

This. Now we can just keep saying Dems were willing to compromise but Johnson won't do his job. If these people were smart they'd be calling their GOP House reps (assuming they know who they are) and telling them to pressure Johnson. But these folks are too bitchmade to face the GOP.

So, with the benefit of a good night's sleep (or as good a night's sleep as you can have with two small planes), a few thoughts:

If I'm the dems, I think I come out of this knowing that there's support amongst at least the GOP senate for normalizing the approps process and reigning in Vought. That's basically what we got out of this. Generally I think Christmas being a mess will make DJT more unpopular though yeah

Without UC, remaining hurdles in the Senate: – Up to 30 hours of debate – Vote on adoption of the motion to proceed (simple majority) – Wait two days – Vote on cloture on the substitute amendment (60 votes) – Up to 30 hours of debate – Vote on adoption of the...

Blocking people who demand that Senator Schumer be replaced for voting yes. "But he voted no." *agitated flailing* "Then he should be replaced for not making ALL Dems vote no! AND he can't spin straw into gold!!11!" LOL. Shifting goalposts = unserious person.

You don’t need to be antisemitic, conspiratorial gutter trash & blame the specific PAC you don’t like because that PAC is the “bad Jewish people” & you wanna spout the protocols of the elders of Zion for why the government reopened. Just sub in Soros at this point like the right wing does.

dude looks like he goes to my son's preschool

Genuinely yes you absolutely do need to stop assume your audience takes "seemingly obvious" things for granted in your political analysis! You would be shocked the amount of people who need it spelled out for them. Arguably you, for instance.

What a great long-term recruiting pitch: come do this high-stress job, you may have to work for free at some point — and if you try to feed your family with a side gig, you’ll be punished. 🤡 @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Until something moves in the House, we remain in status quo. It's not worth getting worked up about.

All due respect, and I say this as a huge fan of the Wire, this is hardly a reason to switch horses mid-race. We have a losing hand; it makes no difference who plays it.

Recount confirms that New Hampshire Republicans very narrowly came out on top in Tuesday special election for state House. Democrat Corinne Cascadden netted 9 votes but still lost by 5 to Republican Marc Tremblay. Trump won it 52-48 last year.

They only pay close attention to opportunities to bludgeon Dems over their own failures of understanding

How do you know Van Hollen, Murphy, and Merkley know how to lead and discipline?

So...when this happened, you blamed Chuck Schumer right? Because I remember everyone on earth blaming Chuck Schumer and not THE ACTUAL SELLOUT WHO VOTED THIS WAY. 🙄

I swear, we're being gaslit into hating our party by people on Social Media who don't even live here.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Stop following every ass hair of the negotiations before you drive yourself insane. The government is still shut down.

There's a reason Schumer is the leader, because no one wants to do that job. Like who wants to be yelled at for doing anything? I don't think even Bernie Sanders wants that heat.

Reporter: Dr Oz said that— Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Jeffries: "I'm not gonna respond to any comments from randos like Dr Oz who is woefully unqualified to be in whatever position he holds in the administration. He's a joke."

Dems in Congress are playing chess while BlueSky users are eating the sand from the Etch-A-Sketch

Q: So Dr Oz said that-- JEFFRIES: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr Oz seriously.

There are a few upsides to caving, this is the biggest. (Easy for me to say since I'm not a furloughed federal worker or SNAP recipient.) If the files damage Mangolini as much as I suspect they will, this will turn out to be a highly consequential win.

If this ploy gets us Grijalva seated and the Epstein files released, I might be fine with it

Exactly.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. @apnews.com

If we get polls in a couple weeks showing the generic ballot swinging back toward the GOP, come back and drag me but I trust the median voter to go “hey my costs keep increasing and the elephant man is in charge of all three branches of government”

Literally has nothing to do with anything, you antisemitic sacks of shit

Im also here to remind yall that JOHN FETTERMAN was hand selected by Bernie Sanders and won his primary over a Black millennial gay man who was already working in congress because leftists couldnt vote for a Black gay Millennial man born in 1990——

I'm certainly not a kneejerk reactionary

Until you clowns get off the couch with that general strike bullshit you keep talking about, there’s gonna be a presumption of regular order.

Excellent advice. Because I've been following every ass hair of the negotiations (and the results from last night's vote) and driving myself insane (a short trip, these days). 😫

So eight Democrats shiv us, but you're blaming the whole caucus?

This is more important than yall driving yourselves insane following every ass hair of the negotiations

Pay Attn: This is what hybrid warfare looks like

"Shut it down ... no not like that!" "use legislative tricks to get them to swear in rep Grijalva ... not like that!" "hold sessions without the republicans ... not like that!" "give speeches to the press.... not like that!" I'm really tired of this cycle while Rs burn our country to the ground

This is not a surprise to anyone who was closely following this case. It *ought* to be, however, a moment to reflect upon the responsibility (or not) of media outlets that, deliberately or not, led folks to believe that a grant was a serious possibility (which it never was).

This is more important than yall driving yourself insane following every ass hair of the negotiations

🚨BREAKING: In a case with major implications for voting access, the U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether a mail-in ballot must be received by Election Day to count, or if it merely must be sent by then. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
