the driving force for dems in the senate for years has been wanting a lack of accountability and responsibilities and schumer is the epitome of this. punt war powers to prez, punt social issues to courts or state governments, try to clock out for three day weekends as much as possible.

I don’t know how many times I can read takes about “institutions have to engage with gen AI!!” When what they mean is “fully embrace it with little reflection.” Because apparently “having lots of discussions and pointing out its flaws and problematic areas” doesn’t count as “engaging” with it.

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

From the outside it might look like ICE officers wear masks to avoid accountability, but in reality they are a way to avoid accountability.

durbin sucks ass, of course, but it's telling of the rest of the senate dems that he has been allowed to be the senate whip for the party the entire time. this is the guy who's supposed to get *other* people in line
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

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.

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!
Democrats contested all 100 Virginia House of Delegates races. Part of the party’s statewide success is due to the synergies between the legislative and statewide campaigns—even the losing ones. This is a big reason why Jay Jones won comfortably. This is a model the Dems should emulate everywhere

this mentality always ignores that Republicans don't respond to current popular sentiments, they drowned their base with a fire hose of propaganda until they've been terrified or enraged into believing what serves the Republican political project
There's also a weird conventional wisdom forming that the Democratic agenda is toxically unpopular and that Republicans are delivering what voters want.
This is laughably false. Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history and his entire agenda is underwater.

The "Deciding To Win" centrists dismiss base mobilization, but the actual 2024 data shows: the more blue a place was in 2020, the lower its turnout was in 2024.
Swing voters weren't nearly as important as Dem-leaning irregular voters not voting at all. The base wasn't mobilized, so we lost.
