If you called someone a "caveman", you might picture a primitive hunter bravely chasing down woolly mammoths with stone-tipped spears. Schumer, on the other hand is a "cave-man", the guy who huddles way in the back of the cave, hoping no one asks him to join the hunt.

I often wonder why the GOP thinks it can win a federal shutdown. Shutdowns remind people that we need the government for a lot of things and that the GOP hates government. As with the last shutdown, Trump's approval is diving like a lawn dart and Dems are creaming the GOP at the ballot box.
What is Trump's approval rating after the government shutdown broke his own record?
Trump won the 2024 presidential election a year ago. Democrats won big in 2025. What is Trump's approval rating as the government shutdown drags on?

Our chief executive turns out to be your portly, vaguely racist Uncle Bob, beached on the couch with a little bit of cranberry sauce drool and a series of titanic flatulent emissions after Thanksgiving (which he calls "Turkey Day") dinner.

This is Trump's MO. Threaten someone with prosecution, whereupon they obey in advance, then they lay off workers, attack unions, shaft ranchers, lower safety standards and, when he isn't looking, make up for lower profits by raising the price even higher. Like the GLP-1 deal, it's smoke and mirrors.

Duffy knew air traffic controllers were understaffed long before the shutdown. Instead of requesting funds to hire more staff, he let DOGE cut staff and supported funding for hiring ICE and Border Patrol agents to make cities less safe. Now the only guaranteed air travel is deportation flights.
Duffy: "We are going to implement a 10% reduction in flights over the course of the next week. That is from the data we see from our safety team at the FAA. We see additional triggers or stats that are going in the wrong direction."

If you've seen this photo of Trump frozen in place, you know he's fading. Watch the press conference on YouTube and you'll see him making what he thinks are funny asides, interrupting other speakers with non-sequiturs, slurring and stumbling and at one point, falling asleep. There's no there there.

Trump plan for smaller SNAP benefits this month may leave millions with none at all
Under court order to restart SNAP food aid, the Trump administration said it would provide 50% of benefits. But a policy group says the formula for calculating them will leave many with far less.

Immigration may not be among the top issues for Latinos, but I can't help but wonder if ICE and Border Patrol arresting and brutalizing US citizens and asylum seekers for being Latino might also weigh in the balance? Being able to avoid being dragged from your car and beaten would affect my vote.
I don't know how many times I have to explain this, but the economy and education are usually the biggest issues with Latino voters. Believe it or not, immigration usually isn't even in the top five issues for Latinos.
I'm not surprised pollsters didn't see this coming. They're out of touch.

Perhaps lost in the dramatic and dominant Democratic wins tonight, was the fact that the GOP spent shit-tons of money to try to win back the House of Delegates in Virginia. They lost 13 seats (with one still undecided) which should scare the GOP as much as the other ass-kickings they took today.
