Anyone who says "kids these days..." and follows it with anything negative...doesn't know kids these days. They impress me every single day with their intellect, their compassion, and their hope. They have it so much more together than I did. Kids these days are brilliant.

Yes, I’m disappointed by the capitulation, but the Democrats can continue to expose the Trump Republicans’ cruelty and hostility toward working people struggling to get by—especially when they fail to pass a standalone vote on healthcare subsidies.

The carnage caused by FAA cutbacks cast a spotlight on the massive public subsidies required to have air travel function in the US. People think spending money on bike lanes and rail is socialism while TRILLIONS have been spent to prop up the airline industry and to build and maintain roadways.

“.. Republicans are hardly going to admit it, but they should evaluate whether Trump’s push to ignite a redistricting arms race may have made it easier for a blue wave to wipe out more Republicans than if they had left their maps alone.”

Man, I just can't believe the Democrats got nothing in exchange for their treasonous capitulation.
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

So the Dem #CaveCaucus aren't even getting a real vote out of their surrender:
♦️Without a House vote, any Senate vote is meaningless.
♦️And without at least 4 GOP crossovers, a Senate vote is meaningless too.

Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

Modern pickup trucks are really just giant family SUVs except that the groceries in the trunk get rained on.
The bumper says 'rugged working man'.
But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’.
Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

Democrats ready to reopen the government on a promise of a vote to save Obamacare subsidies should remember: Republicans made the same promise on D.C. funding earlier this year. That vote never came. Thinking this time will be different is political delusion.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.
Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.
It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.
