The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

I hate that we have to mention someone's medical issues at all, much less in a negative way, but it's so clear Fetterman was fundamentally changed as a person by his stroke and the aftermath. This is not just some politician who changed his tune.
Hell yeah brother

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

this kind of seems like proof that donors and senators whining about their Thanksgiving travel was, actually, the motivation behind everything
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The GOP should've gilded the lily with a provision that the Dem leader had to eat a literal pile of dog shit on the Senate floor.
*Schumer, mumbling through a mouthful of turds*: "I didn't... personally... [heave] vote for it, but... this is what my caucus... wanted so.... [vomit]"

If you live in Seattle, go here and track your ballot. Make sure it is counted. Because this mayoral race, which Katie Wilson now leads by 91 votes, is epically close.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.

Important political lesson of my lifetime is how much politicians shape the electorate as much as the other way around. If Dem constituents are really still saying “find a way to work together!” it’s likely at least in part because that’s what those politicians are signaling to them.

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.
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.

Here is a fun fact: the "cooling saucer of democracy" quote is almost certainly as apocryphal as the cherry tree story, being first attested to in the 1880s.
Makes you wonder who it was that had cause to praise congressional gridlock and stagnation in the late 19th century exactly

Going back to the original ad copy, I also love the idea that Elon is personally building rockets. Also, I assume he’s boring tunnels beneath Los Angeles for the same reason any supervillain does stuff like that—to build his secret lair. God knows he’s not doing it for any transit-related purpose.

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.
If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

Good! I hope whoever is the leader of the Democrats in the senate can bring along all your colleagues to this position as well. Seems like that would be the essence of their job.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.
