When people sacrifice for a shutdown and you don’t achieve any kind of concession, you officially lost
November 11, 2025 at 1:41 PM
I knew we were doomed when establishment Dems made the shutdown solely about healthcare and not also about trump invading cities with the military, the indiscriminate kidnapping of people and killing Venezuelans driving boats.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

This basically sounds like where the plot of One Battle After Another starts
Last week, the Trump admin purged senior leadership at ICE ERO, which leads internal immigration enforcement. Gregory Bovino and the Border Patrol are now increasingly in charge. As former ICE Chief of Staff Jason Houser writes, what we're getting now is theater, not serious law enforcement.
Opinion | The White House's sweeping overhaul of ICE is creating a Frankenstein force
The recent wave of ICE senior official reassignments has a clear motive.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

"societal unrest (a crime spike) was followed by finger-pointing at immigrants" is just a longer way of saying "racism."

Senate GOP leaders are again shaking up their strategy as they look for more ways to pressure Democrats to end a three-week stalemate over government funding — this time, with a vote that would keep paychecks flowing to “essential” workers.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition…

We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Although true, we need to stop the whataboutism with this stuff and instead rattle off the list of fascist things they do and ask what else would you call it
While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this?

A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?
The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.

Here’s a thought.

Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.
