This is a move by sportsbooks and MLB, like many of its moves, to give an air of a correction while no correction is actually made

Taking over a party from within is a real thing that happens. There’s precedent for it at multiple points in American Trump JUST DID IT to the GOP.
Creating a new viable party hasn’t happened since 1856.

There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.
Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.
Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.
Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.

This. There’s a reason why the Tea Party wasn’t a new party. It’s much cheaper to take over an existing party. Mamdani doesn’t have to be an outlier, we can find more candidates capable of meeting the moment and free ourselves from these centrists and their enablers.
“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

🫡 have fun, Boch. You’ll be missed.
Future Hall of Fame manager Bruce Bochy, after weeks of talks, is officially back in the San Francisco Giants organization as a special advisor. He said he was not asked to be a bench coach for rookie manager Tony Vitello but certainly will be available as an advisor.

I dunno. Feels like everybody was already pretty mad at those responsible.

I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative.
Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

And the truly craziest thing abt this cave is that someone seeing the invasion of Chicago firsthand, Dick Durbin, doesn't understand this.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Left messages for Senators Kim and Booker. One of whom I’m a little more faithful in, and I told him as much.
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
