Jeffries may be able to elevate his game enough to survive a primary and leadership challenge, and if he does, he might be worthy of those victories
Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

Jeffries just announced House is going to propose amendment to Senate bill to extend ACA subsidies for 3 yrs, so GOP vote will be on record & pressure from public will continue. This fight is unavoidable & will continue. Stay strong.

I probably shouldn’t bother with smugly gloating concern trolling.
Yes, Constitutional democracy, rule of law, and separation of powers lost again, this time with a more desperate move due to limited options.
But Dems are upset about it, and that’s what matters. Glad you’re enjoying it, Josh.

I guess I need to add that pundits have to get out of a normal democracy mindset too.
It’s been a decade of democratic backsliding, and nearly a year of rapid descent. Writing as if it’s 2013 or 1995 is out of touch. Either ”I have my head in the sand” or “I like this but won’t say so directly.”

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

I hadn't realized that Durbin has been the Democratic whip since 2005 (!!). That's just too long to be in that position (or any leadership position), his caucus should vote him out (the resulting Aaron Sorkin movie will have him receiving the news on a blue slip)

In the struggle against authoritarianism, the pro-democracy opposition needs ruthlessly strategic leadership.
Chuck Schumer ain’t it. It’s time for him to resign. We don’t have time for more Schumer Surrenders.

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Oil Companies Contaminated a Family Farm. The Courts and Regulators Let the Drillers Walk Away.
The oil and gas industry has reaped profits without ensuring there will be money to plug and clean up their wells. In Oklahoma, that work could cost more than $7 billion if it falls to the state.

The term of art for this in a bankruptcy court is "fraudulent conveyance". Stealing money that isn't yours and then transferring it to a third party to defraud creditors is also a crime. It doesn't eliminate the possibility for judgment on the first charge.
