I’m glad to see you’ll be voting to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate minority leader then, thank you!!
Otherwise this skeet is a big LOL.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

At this juncture, I just don't know why Zapruder filming Trump's public appearances to sus out his myriad physical and mental health issues is helpful.
Aside from the bizarre fantasy that if he dies, everything is suddenly fixed. Which, damn, it's an appealing fantasy but...

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

the savvy centrists over on vichy twitter apparently got their talking points and are now claiming that actually democrats won the shutdown lmao

To live in a world where I'm somehow worried that nothing will make me angry between now and primary season. How wonderful would that be? Instead, we live in a world where I guaran-goddamn-tee you that there will be fresh anger before lunch today.
"save your anger for 2026" wait you think I'll run out in a year this is why I hate amateurs

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

I used to be against term limits, but some of these older, longer-serving Democrats seem to have encased their brains in amber around 1993.
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

I want everyone to understand how much they loved John Fetterman('s social media people) and how pissed off they've been by his inability to do the right thing in any circumstance.
And just...just remember both of those things.

It’s one thing to try to act passed purely on polling. It’s another to act based on purely imaginary polls.
MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.
