So now the trump-Epstein files vote will take place in the House where it will reportedly pass with ease, then it has to pass the Senate which seems a lot less likely. But will there be enough of an outcry that it will force republicans to defy the president and vote to release the files?

I just successfully stopped myself from correcting an anonymous post on an AP story about the Epstein emails who said it’s like when Pat Summerall sang Turn out the lights, the party’s over when it became clear the game had been won. I mean what is my problem?!

Cedar Rapids makes the Capital Weather Gang 👀
How fitting! The Post's space weather writer -- Kasha Patel -- was on a flight, cruising over Cedar Rapids, Iowa during the geomagnetic storm last night and captured this stunner of the northern lights....

I wrote about the "Appeasement Eight" Senate Democrats getting the party to fold to Trump in the government shutdown, and why it shows that pro-democracy Americans badly need a real opposition party, full of leaders who recognize the United States isn't a normal rule of law democracy anymore.
Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

These are the eight Senators who are selling out on the Schumer #Shutdown. Democrats, time to take a page from the constantly winning MAGA Playbook and primary the living shit out of all eight who're Durbin/IL, King/ME, Kaine/VA, Fetterman/PA, Shaheen/NH, Hassan/NH, Cortez Mastro/NV and & Rosen/NV.
