On Morning Joe, Joe & co. are telling us to calm down and "take the win" by losing. They've booked three of the turncoat senators. How about booking any of the many who are mad as hell?

Great news, everybody! The ACA is materially undermined, no concessions were secured on any other front, and Donald Trump will be able to declare this a personal win. But poor people did starve for about a week there, so there's that.
The Senate has decided the HSA idea from Trump is a win and they're going to do it.
Man, this timeline SUCKS.

Absolute political malpractice by the corporate Democrats tonight. Why did we even have a shutdown? Fucking political cowards. They all deserved to be primaried whenever they're up for re-election.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

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.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

This Senate deal is political malpractice. Americans like me will be burdened with health insurance that is not affordable. If the Democrats doing this deal think that it is for voters like me, they are wrong.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

The was a Republican shutdown because the GOP wouldn't negotiate — and Dems made that about their unwillingness to negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies.
If Dems vote for this, the answer to the "why did you do it for the past 40 days?" question becomes very difficult to answer.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

Perhaps Dems need to make the placing cameras and human rights monitors in the ICE detention facilities part of our year end budget package.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

My ongoing advice to every candidate in my new political party: Be yourself. Ignore the consultants & just fucking be authentic. When asked a question, just fucking answer it. Say what u believe. Don’t worry if the answer doesn’t poll well. Be who u are. Say what u believe. It’s really fucking easy.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
