Democrats weren't going to win. They were going to force Republicans to kill the filibuster. WIthout the filibuster they would be forced in power to pass a lot of things they don't want to pass.

Schumer’s resume:
- gets outfoxed by McConnell during two Trump impeachments
- consistently fails to whip the vote when it matters
- folds like a cheap lawn chair under pressure
- thumbs his nose at new progressive candidates
It’s like we brought reading glasses to a gun fight.

It was a rejection of the entire administration and Dems should see this as a signal to become an actual opposition party. On everything. You don't stop the shutdown. You don't approve another appointee. You do nothing at all. The voters saved you, not the other way around. LEARN TO LEAD.
On a call with reporters, DNC chair Ken Martin responds to JD Vance claiming Dems only won big last night because races were in blue states.
"Well that's bullshit. We won in red counties, blue counties, purple counties," Martin says. And it was all "a rejection of Trump."

Sorry but I think we have a strong case here considering we've paid into this thing and aren't getting the services we paid for and Congress agreed on because one guy said he didn't feel like it

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well.

Well, whatever. The most important thing for us is to be confident in ourselves. And we are confident in ourselves.

Some people been saying that blue state Governors needed to be working on solutions 10 fucking months ago to keep tax money in state and not sending it to fund federal fascism. Trump withholding FEMA funds to LA in January should have been the wake up call but it wasn't.
all presidential administrations are partisan, but trump and the people in his white house are partisans bordering on sectarians, and one result is that they see nothing of actions that strain and weaken the union itself

This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.
The remedy for a president who both lies to your face and also expects you to make a deal with him is removal from office.

Governors stop sending tax money to the fed. How much of your paycheck is going directly to funding J6ers kidnapping grandmas every day and throwing people to the ground in full view of a dozen cameras and to paying the salary of Congressional reps who are actively protecting pedophiles

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

Schumer's "long game strategy" of lets give Trump more power to do bad stuff so that we might regain a future tiny majority in the Senate that we wont be able to do anything with because the Republicans actually use the filibuster, while democracy burns down around us, seems as feckless as can be.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
