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.

To put it in New York terms: Out with the Cuomos, In with the Mamdanis.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado. One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

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.

Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises. When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo

Oh man, what an incredible bummer! So much of my early days as a fan can be attributed to Star Wars Insider. Growing up without internet (or even a computer in the house until the early 00s) it was my primary connection to the larger fandom. Truly an end of an era. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

These times deserve better from the Times.

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

THIS!

Important to note that these pardons — which cover federal crimes that were not going to be prosecuted by the Trump administration — were announced just over an hour ago via a reply to a tweet. This news was not shared by reporters for a while because it was missed due to the way it was announced.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

People are not going to spend 50% if their income on healthcare. They won’t have healthcare.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Researchers behind a new study say that the methods used to evaluate AI systems’ capabilities routinely oversell AI performance.

There is no excuse for giving in to a bad deal — especially after voters turned out in record numbers last week to elect Democrats on the promise that they would stand up and fight for working families.

We oppose this deal and call on the House of Representatives to vote against it.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

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...

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies. Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

Should be pretty clear that without House commitment on a vote on ACA extensions, it is purely symbolic as part of the Senate deal

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I don’t know folks. We talk about getting the country back. But it can’t be given back to these people either.

"This is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time." - Neville Chamberlain, 1938 "Reopen our government, and then we can find a way to lower our costs about health care." - John Fetterrman, 2025

the returns from tuesday made it very clear who most people blame for the shutdown, so the caving from democrats at a time when people are hungry for a party that's willing to meaningfully fight republicans is comical

Fight don’t fold.

Might as well primary Schumer I guess. The campaign slogans would be so funny.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

Durbin‘s office offers only a recording that says it’s not fielding calls or taking messages outside of “business hours.” What a waste of a Senate seat he’s been during this fascist assault on our country.

And here I thought the Giants game was going to be the worst display of fumbling and dropped balls I would watch today. But there's always the Democratic Party.

What do you call a leader with no followers? Just a guy taking a walk. He's not just a senator. He's the *leader*. His job isn't his personal vote. His job is to unify and lead his caucus against the regime.

Tim Kaine is a chump who believes Republican promises. Call him and yell at him if he's your senator. Phone numbers here: www.kaine.senate.gov/contact/offi...

After their resounding victory in Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats had no choice but to surrender.

Aged like roadkill in RFK’s trunk.

Ngl the loud booing for Pete Hesgeth at the Lions/Commanders game felt real good

Exactly this — caving for nothing makes all that pain for nothing. Further, them caving lends credence to this being just some political scrum when it’s actually much more fundamental than that! Call those senators, please.

Any Democrat in Congress who would accept a promise from a Republican in Congress should undergo a cognitive test.
