I can see the Senators who caved reiterating this fact to themselves but I think an important thing to consider is that Trump 2.0 itself is so abnormally destructive that historical comparatives like this just aren’t very meaningful.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

The extent to which these people will go to avoid placing blame on Republicans for bad things Republicans do is actually remarkable
I do not actually think Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding guest list was at the top of mind for the Virginia senator when he voted to get federal employees a paycheck!

Just a friendly reminder that Hillary's VP candidate just sold out the country to a bunch of starvation/death sadists and Chelsea Clinton was best friends with Ivanka for years while Ghislaine Maxwell was a prominent guest at Chelsea's wedding while Bill went to Epstein Island a bunch of times

People have a “well obviously it goes without saying” response when you remind them that the stark differences between the parties and the imperative of keeping one out of power still exists and in most of those cases they sound to me like they are working themselves up into a froth of forgetting.
Genuinely yes you absolutely do need to stop assume your audience takes "seemingly obvious" things for granted in your political analysis! You would be shocked the amount of people who need it spelled out for them. Arguably you, for instance.

This is actually a valid argument imo and the fact that the cavers won’t make it makes the decision indefensible. People are right to assume disqualifyingly bad judgement or intentions in its absence.
i think the argument the cavers should’ve made/should make is “i couldn’t let people starve - we made a run thinking they would fold on aca, but trump really is that psychotic”
that’s an argument i think people could respect, but the won’t even make it

the Twitter acquisition was a generational win for reactionary forces and all the “good luck with THAT lmao” smugging out is really embarrassing in retrospect
Elon buying X and firing everyone pretty much turned tech into a shitty place to work almost overnight.
OpenAI "proved" that LLMs are a viable product and X "proved" that you can fire large numbers of employees
(and, for that matter, Trump 2024 "proved" that wokeness was over and you didn't need to put up with any lip from your workers)

M83’s closing credit theme for this was so good. Strong design elements and staging throughout that overcome its overly familiar story elements.
Ok. Fair point. This is now an OBLIVION (2013) appreciation thread. Let's discuss the underrated Tom Cruise sci-fi thinker OBLIVION. I think this one was killed by having a forgettable and vague title even more than the more-famously-underrated EDGE OF TOMORROW was. Trippy visuals and cool premise

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly)

The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.
The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

The biggest thing that’s harder to ignore imo is that these Senate Dems just helped vindicate and make real the fake right wing narrative that it was a “Dem shutdown” when we’ve been stating and restating the reality that Republicans had the power to end this at any time.
If I’m seeing Dem Senators defend it this way that alone means the deal is indefensible imo

It looked to me like Trump was about to rip up his Congressional relationship to kill the filibuster, and, like maybe even find a way to get himself big, wet impeached.
And yet the dickless wonders didn't want to let that play out.

This is infuriating. You can’t capitulate based on “we’ll see”.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"
