In their own (teeny tiny) way, the Lions and Pistons wins yesterday and today over the Commanders and Wizards feel like some kind of karmic vengeance for what's going on in DC.

Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?"

I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.

Federal agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl in Little Village this weekend. There's no limit to what these thugs will do.

To make Chicago safe again, we need ICE and CBP to get the hell out of our city.

Feds Pepper-Spray 1-Year-Old In Cicero, Use Tear Gas On Little Village Neighbors

Federal agents were shot at, according to the Department of Homeland Security, while legal observers said agents created a "dangerous and unsafe environment."

It seems crucial (and long overdue) that our national political discourse has finally shifted from an obsession with "the economy" to what actually matters: whether people can afford the basic things they need to live.

This is depraved.

“While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op

The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

Lots of emails from pols chastising the Dem capitulation last night.

If your email doesn’t call for new leadership, please spare me.

2/2. State of Georgia continues to see large budget surpluses but refuses to invest seriously in affordable housing (other than a tax credit). And City of Atlanta will worsen its public finance dysfunction by extending all TIFs until 2055 & refusing to end undertaxation of commercial property.

Yes, ⏬of low-cost & subsidized units a major problem in metro Atlanta as #RedHotCity continues to see high demand. Yes, allowing ⏫multifamily, especially in suburbs, is important, but much more $ to *deeply* affordable units needed. Policy choices by Atlanta & Georgia have been insufficient. 1/2

A congress and senate where power is accrued by seniority in a system without term limits or retirement age limits insures an endlessly entrenched old and in the way gerontocracy that blocks democratic renewal and change that reflects the will of the electorate.

Matthew Yglesias V @mattyglesias
I was sympathetic ex ante to the view that Senate Dems were being pushed by an angry base into a tactically unwise course of action, *but in fact it's worked just fine* and both the polling and election results confirm that — bizarre to give up now for peanuts.

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.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

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.

The Senate Democrats!

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

A lot of viral video of Bovino’s terrorism yesterday in Little Village. This frame shows a branch of Self-Help Credit Union in background.

Self Help, out of North Carolina, has a storied legacy as a CDFI, a program Miller-Trump is trying to destroy.

It’s all coming together for the far-right.

Same. Durbin seems bent on completely burning up what is left of his legacy. It’s sad and infuriating thing to watch. Hope I’m wrong.

All of Dick Durbin’s offices go to voicemail with no option to leave a message on weekends. I sent a message via his website but feel
Like that is useless. These senators are isolated on a Sunday ready to give in. Has anyone gotten a live person?

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.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons.

"ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids"

Masked ICE agents put damper on Oak Park Girl Scout food drive: ‘It’s heartbreaking as a mom’

Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.
