In its limited, cabined, semi-nuked-and-therefore-always-potentially-further-nukable contemporary state, the filibuster has become the Senate's dark matter, at once powering and obscuring behavior on both sides.

Looks like it might be an awkward Thanksgiving at the Shaheens.

Improving health care has been the cause of my life. It’s why I am running for congress. So I cannot support this deal when Speaker Johnson refuses to even allow a vote to extend health care tax credits. My statement:

I think a lot of Senate Democrats love the filibuster, and were deathly afraid that the Republicans were going to kill it, because it gives them an easy excuse for doing nothing when they control the chamber.

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

We’re all agreed that Stefany Shaheen will not be the Democratic nominee in NH1, right?
And that Maggie Hassan will be spending a lot more time with her family at the end of her current term?

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

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.

The New York State government should not provide funding to a university that has signed a contract agreeing to actively violate NYS law, on behalf of the Trump regime – and it's very difficult to see how Cornell going Jim Crow (again) would not so violate those equal rights provisions.
"Cornell, however, did agree to provide anonymized admissions data to the federal government through 2028, details the Trump administration has also required from other schools as it scrutinizes whether race is used as a factor in selective college admissions."

Seems like a political layup for Governor Hochul to open an investigation into this agreement, especially given this week's election results.
Also, I think by now it's starting to dawn on some folks that many University administrators would love nothing more than to stop caring about diversity.

BREAKING: Cornell caved.

The crash outs happening on Twitter over Zohran Mamdani are the latest reminder that I will not take any journalist or pundit seriously if they spend time hanging around that cesspool and engaging with the absolute weirdos over there. It's a one-way ticket to Brainrotville.

Looking at some of the close mayoral and special election races that did not go Ds' way in NH last night after what appears to be a huge blue wave nationally, I am once again renewing my call for Someone Else —Anyone Else, really—, to lead the NH Democratic Party.

I think fundamentally the problem with post liberal thinkers is that they seem to assume that vanquishing liberalism results in their enemies being converted or defeated and not becoming radicalized into enemies who no longer extend the mercies they once did.
