The GOP is pretending it isn’t paying attention to the election results earlier this month.
But if Aftyn Behn beats Van Epps on Dec. 2nd, that’s not just a canary in a coal mine.
That’s…well, you get my point. That’s BEYOND the beyond of portending massive problems in 2026.

Number is increasing everyday. Keep up the pressure.
UPDATE — Here are the at least 10 congressional Democrats, 5 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

Never before in living memory has it been as urgent for America to have a strong opposition party. Which is why it’s so important for Democrats to take the steps I lay out in this video.
And if there are Democrats who won’t — we need to replace them with those who will.

The Wash Post Editorial Board published one of the most reckless pieces of “journalism” I’ve ever seen, attacking NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani.
The article is replete with disinfo, half truths, & anti-Black racism. I dismantle each of their claims—with receipts

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress.
It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.
A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

The only thing Senate Democrats should be agreeing to is an extension of the enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for millions of Americans buying plans on the health exchanges and releasing the Trump-Epstein files.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

The shutdown is like someone (Republicans) kidnapping your cat (SNAP benefits), refusing to return him until you help the kidnapper poison your dog (ACA subsidies), and then blaming YOU for the fact that you miss Mr. Mittens.
