Sending in Seal Team 6 to assassinate Lauren Boebert would *not* remove her discharge petition signature.

"However, a hard majority is necessary for a discharge motion because the death or resignation of a signatory of the motion does not invalidate his signature."

imho an underappreciated benefit of Dem redistricting is that newly lame ducked blue state Republicans are much more likely to something like signing the discharge petition.

if Mace or Boebert withdraws their signature, I wouldn't be surpised to see someone like Kiley sign it

Then Massie or Khanna will give notice of intent to discharge the petition, starting the clock on Speaker Johnson to bring to the floor within two legislative days. So December 2 or 3, roughly.

Potential hiccup: a deemer in Rules that either turns off the DP before it can come to the floor, or…

DISCHARGE PETITION TICK-TOCK

Rep. Grijalva will sign the petition Wednesday after she’s sworn in and makes remarks on the floor

Her 218th signature starts the clock on the 7-legislative day wait until it can be called up, which means it would likely ripen on Tuesday Nov 25 during the pro forma

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.

And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?

Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

i think an especially depressing part of this whole saga is that "we need to win primaries so establishment dems are replaced by true progressives" is a thing we've done before but one of the progressives we worked hard to install over the establishment pick was fetterman

Okay, anyway gongshow of this aside, a very important note:

there is another cloture vote! 4 days, because Rand Paul is going to draw it out. The squishes have no spines, at all, and this goes two ways. Incandescent anger, especially at Kaine and CCM/Rosen.

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)

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Yesterday, Berkshire Hathaway made an unusual press release drawing attention to the proliferation of AI-generated Warren Buffett content. They mentioned a specific YouTube account.

As of today, the YouTube account mentioned here is still up and still full of fake Warren Buffett videos...

The press lost its shit for weeks at the mere thought of referring to Trump and his political movement as "fascist."

Republicans meanwhile use every -ist epithet they can muster against Democrats of any stripe and the press doesn't say a word.
