“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.
Full statement:

this is why if i ever bought an f150 it'd be a mid 70s one, aiee
and yet I can’t get the sweet little kei truck of my dreams???
The bumper says 'rugged working man'.
But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’.
Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

*sigh* i slipped and picked up an SGI indy with a dead power supply. It's alive now though due to some other bad decisions I just made.
Anyway, I hopped over to the SGI reddit forum and like, .. what SGI community drama has been unfolding? what the heck y'all? What the actual heck?

I've not been worried about everything falling apart until a couple months ago.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

As a young Assistant Professor, I attended a lecture by Watson at UT Austin. I was excited, I mean..DNA… I learned no science from his talk, but did learn he was a flaming sexist and racist. Worst of all, it went unremarked upon by my colleagues and the field. My lesson: this is what we face.

this kind of excellent reporting is why Teen Vogue was gutted a day before the election. the money thinks they can put this cat back in the bag, but it’s too late
here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about.
Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.
