People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.
People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

Well, you see, the real Chuck Schumer just got the Republicans so scared of another shutdown that they cut out the DHS funding from the current package under negotiation.
But the fake Chuck Schumer who exists in Bluesky posts did something different, and THAT is who and what they're mad at.

I've unfollowed a lot of people over this.
There is a real cult thing happening, where ppl are so invested in hating Schumer that they can't even see what just happened.

Trump said this on Truth Social last night: “TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters.”
Well, guess what? Trump will NEVER be on the ballot again. So that means Republicans are SCREWED.

Btw, the press obsessing about Mamdani seems weird. He seriously underperformed the Democratic vote in NYC compared to recent elections, barely scraping 50%. Moderate Democrats in VA and NJ dramatically overperformed. That seems the real story

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature.

Suburban whites failed AGAIN. Black women are organizers & the heartbeat of this party. After seeing how they stabbed us in the back last year & looking at this data today I am vindicated!

I think NYC has been overemphasized, NJ & VA emphasized properly, but in terms of electoral significance, the Georgia results are probably what freak out Repubs more than anything.

If 8% of Americans participated in the No Kings protests, that’s nearly 21 million people — roughly the entire population of Florida. Hell of a turnout, and it explains why MAGA world’s been so panicked about it.
