In all seriousness, we should be talking about forming a new government. No reopening the old one.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.

I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

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.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

I know it’s bad form to post “I don’t know why people are surprised” statements but jfc this is not even close to the first time Schumer has shown us who he is. The passivity and peon deference of rank & file Democrats, plenty of whom have good degrees, money and status, is really staggering
My neighbor Chuck has long been unfit to be a United States Senator, let alone leader of the Democrats. This really should have been clear since his 2002 Iraq invasion vote and it's pretty pathetic that normie libs and rank & file Democrats are only catching on to this now

the Dems keep operating like this cynical shit has no effect. It’s why their core voters don’t fucking show up. When they say “we fight for you” nobody believes them, because they constantly pull shit like this and say “what else are you gonna vote for.” But then people STAY HOME.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:

—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

How does this do anything but make Dems look responsible for the shutdown to your typical low info voter? They held out this only to capitulate to MAGA in return for a pink promise?

Getting a deal where you are promised a future vote that might not pass the Senate let alone the House is a chump move.

Start losing
“I know you can’t afford things but we also cannot afford things” will be, I predict, a losing message. The world’s first trillionaire is on the horizon. “We can’t afford transportation, healthcare, food and shelter” will no longer cut it for the “progressive” party.

He's sabotaging Dems chances at retaking Congress with this
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:

Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care

"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.

We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.

🚨NEW STORY 🚨

Last month, over 400 activists were imprisoned by Israel for trying to bring aid into Gaza. 1 of them was Zue, an army vet.

Here, me and Zue discuss her voyage to Gaza, imprisonment, NOLA's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, & more.
