Announce your plans to primary the traitors to your party then? Or is a finger wag the best you can do, because like them, you are also worthless?

Burn them all to the ground

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

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

lets assume the deal is as described and the GOP doesn't renege on any of it. that means we get: -gov't funded thru 30 jan -snap thru 30 sep 26 -reverts staffing to 30 sep 25 GOP gets: -De Facto repeal of Obamacare (the vote on ACA subsidies will fail. there aren't 12 gop to go along with it.)

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.

Seriously, this was a smart deal for the coward caucus in @democrats.senate.gov to make because they're about to make more lifelong enemies than they've ever had before.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Mitch McConnel's singular political insight is that Presidents get punished for Congressional obstinancy and he used that insight to get the Right an unbreakable majority on the Supreme Court, so of course Chuck Schumer's iteration on it is to proactively let democrats take blame after tangible harm

Looks like it's the senators from Maine and NH leading the charge. Flights to/from small states were likely affected the most by the 10% cuts

On May 14, RFK JR “directed the FDA to review the safety of the abortion drug. The order followed the publication…of a report titled ‘The Abortion Pill Harms Women,’ published… by the Ethics and Public Policy Center,” a “right-wing think tank and…adviser in the creation of Project 2025…” 11/4/25 …1/

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

If Dems accept this deal, it will help the GOP cement the following ideas into the public conscience over the coming 4 weeks: -Shutdown was Dems fault/responsibility -They did it for nothing -They caved to Trump Having accepted responsibility, it will also cripple them in the follow up debate.

3/ the two from Virginia. Possibly Blunt Rochester as well. I want to emphasize that as we move down that list things get fuzzier. Lots of chatter and rumor. Figure in lots of uncertainty even for the people at the center of decisions when you’re to the maybes. But here is the critical point….

2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

So foul that this is absolutely what happened. They didn’t even flinch when it came to SNAP, but this threatened to possibly inconvenience them in a couple of weeks.

Keep up the pressure folks. The folders are getting screamed at and realizing there won't be a shred of cover.

Consistent with a court order, Wisconsin legally loaded FoodShare payments to cards. Now, the Trump Administration has spent the last 48 hours making a last-ditch effort to yank those payments from nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites, including 270,000 kids. It's pathetic.

Agree with this. About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.

I'm old enough to remember when Sen Coons cut having witnesses for the post J6 impeachment trial because of Valentine's Day plans. It seems like 30 years ago, but it was less than 5.

Congrats, @foxsports.com.web.brid.gy, @wshcommanders.bsky.social One of the few times I've turned a game off mid-game with no intention of coming back on.

Caving on the shutdown won’t make you “moderate.” It makes you WEAK! Giving Republicans what they want for NOTHING more than a “promise” of a vote and risking millions of Americans’ healthcare isn’t compromise—it’s surrender and it’s the most RADICAL thing you could do in this moment. 1/

Primary the fuck out of those that vote Yes

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Well, thanks for giving me a reason to turn off the Commanders game

Seriously... Look at these clowns walking down suburban, tree lined streets in Waukegan, Illinois with long guns at the ready and hundreds of rounds of ammunition with them, body armor and face masks to hide their identities. That is some fascist bullshit, right there.

Trump want to make a one time payment of 400 bucks, then cancel your insurance. You can use that money to make a downpayment on your coffin.

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Thune really does seem to think he and his caucus are like the 300 at Thermopylae on taking away everyone's health care and jacking up premiums and they think it's a winning look. So I guess okay guys please proceed and all that.

The only thing I care about in a president for 2028 is holding every one of these people accountable under the law in the harshest manner possible. Anything short of that is a waste of time.

The press lost its shit for weeks at the mere thought of referring to Trump and his political movement as "fascist." Republicans meanwhile use every -ist epithet they can muster against Democrats of any stripe and the press doesn't say a word.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

Trump is treating inflation and high prices the way he treated Covid: claiming the numbers are going down. But like Covid, he can’t lie his way out of this one because everyone is experiencing it. And like Covid it will be his downfall.

This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

This year, the Roberts majority has let states ban medical care for trans kids, and let Trump expel trans troops and make trans people erase themselves to travel abroad. And Roberts et al aren't done: they're gonna strike down states' conversion therapy bans and uphold states' trans athlete bans.

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

Leopards. Faces. Etc etc

Let's take a peek in at the people who spent the last 50 years calling for patriots to water the tree of liberty with blood, who hung Obama in effigy, who cheered the murders of Michael Brown and George Floyd, who stormed the Capitol to steal an election... Oh look at these fucking snowflakes

NOVA Magas so wrapped up in their made up story they're now afraid the BLS economist nextdoor is going to go full dexter on them

Again, not a single one of the Founders ever thought there would be a need to have a contingency for: - What if the Legislative Branch wanted the President to be King? They just assumed the "Definition of Treason" in Article III, Section 3 had that covered. Bad news, Mr. Madison

One thing that the Founders genuinely never anticipated is that Congress would want to have its own authority usurped by the President, and that seems like a really big swing and miss in retrospect.

"They view empathy as weakness." That's a lot of it, yes. The 2020s American right is so into the idea that empathy is weakness—see Trump, Musk, multiple Christian best-sellers, etc.—that they convinced themselves their eagerness to hurt average Americans would make Democrats give them concessions.

Remind me why you should pay money for this garbage?

Excellent, encouraging piece in PN today: "In short, Tuesday night was a resounding blue wave across the country. Voters tuned out the Republican distraction machine and turned up for candidates who actually stood for something. Enough doomscrolling! Time to get off our asses and get to work."

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA
