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.

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

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.

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.
