This kind of thing happened to McConnell, too. In 2013 a similar "Gang of Eight", which included four Republicans, helped write and pass immigration reform in the Senate.

It's increasingly clear that for a significant portion of BlueSky, Glonzo's real name is Chuck Schumer.

Schumer didn't negotiate this and voted against it and released a statement against it and is reported to have tried to push the eight who voted for it to not do so.
But other than all of that, I guess this is totally Schumer's fault somehow.

Schumer allows a provision to go into the supposedly “clean” CR to allow people like Ted Cruz to file lawsuits for money over Jack Smith’s J6 investigation. Amazing Dem leadership in the senate. Thanks Chuck!

All I see on Blue is..
"Tear down the Democratic Party."
No one is saying "Tear down the party that has ushered in Christofascism with their Project25 agenda, who has starved children domestic and abroad, who is kidnapping people, who has made life in the US unaffordable."
I guess the GOP is ok.

The category of "ultra-processed foods" is akin to declaring categorically "Liquids Are Bad", because if you list all the potable liquids, the average of the group is bad, because things like alcohol and sugary drinks outnumber, say, water. It's technically true but functionally absurd.

Flour is an ultraprocessed food.
The evidence that ultra-processed foods are bad for us is piling up. But efforts to reduce their role in our diets face a big hurdle: experts can't agree on what they are and which to target. n.pr/4qMrN7P

2. People voted for Republicans because they're bigots who wanted to hurt minority groups and considered (or thought they did) hurting themselves to be an acceptable price for that.
So stop blaming Democrats for voters being dumb and/or bigots, and start addressing voters being dumb and/or bigots.

White voters constantly treating actual politics like sports & protesting the wrong team at the polls is a pretty consistent part of the problem.
If your team’s offense puts up pretty good numbers for four quarters, and your defense doesn’t give up too many big plays, and your QB gets into field goal range on the last possession, but your special teams loses you the game by shanking a chip shot, it is okay to be angry at the coaching staff!
The internet is adamant that I’m instead supposed to be mad at all Dems when leadership voted no, House Dems are ethering it, & the DNC is blasting it, 3 of the Dems are retiring anyway & the rest either rep swing states or the relevant workers & aren’t up for a few yrs. Not the Republican majority.

As a Vikings fan I'm generally mad at the kicker in that situation, the rest of the team did their job.

Dems were trying to get subsidies reinstated that the GOP had no desire to do. To pay for the wealthy tax cuts, the ACA, SNAP, and even federal payroll cuts have been fair game.

While there may have been more *emotionally* satisfying ends to the shutdown, once it was proven that GOP weren't caving on ACA subsidies *and* weren't willing to blow up the filibuster *and* Trump went to SCOTUS to defend his right to starve people against the law...
