I love @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com but he loves the Senate and “Senate culture” too much — and thinks those are important things to preserve even while fighting fascism — to opine well on the great Democratic shutdown cave.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.

I feel like whoever won last Tuesday should get to make this decision.

Not stupid, spineless moderates who pathetically still fantasize that one day they’re gonna be able to ”do bipartisanship!” again.

Oh look, here’s a winner.

Listen up, cowards
Pathetic. This isn’t a deal. It’s a surrender. Don’t bend the knee!

Cannot wait for every one of these losers to get Mamdanied to hell the next cycle they’re up. They can all go live with Cuomo on an island in the sea.
Politico says the cavers have won. CR in exchange for fake vote on ACA subsidies in December. Politico at least says other Dems will give them cover. We’ll see. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

WaPo now reads like the NY Post: Asking the most fortunate New Yorkers to pay their fair share is rebranded as dividing society into oppressors v. oppressed. A rough landing for an editorial page that once set the bar.

You guys, ICE losers are pulling people over and asking them if they know about Zohran Mamdani now.

Thank you @getvillarreal.bsky.social for writing about the side project to my side project, where I'm tracking all the pastors, youth group leaders, Christian school teachers AND SO FORTH who have been accused (or convicted) of abusing kids.

It's quite a thing!

At least 188 Christian & Republican leaders have been accused of child abuse this year - LGBTQ Nation
"If you are tracking drag queens or trans people or just LGBTQ+ people abusing children ... those stories just don’t happen much."

Fuuuuck, there it is!
UPDATE: The supermajority has officially been broken: bsky.app/profile/asht...
NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011.

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.
