Once Again, Senate Democrats Show They Don’t Get
Who They Represent
The party was riding high on election wins, a fractured GOP, and a flailing Trump. And then the Senate Surrender Caucus handed Republicans a win.

Democrats are no better than Republicans at this point. Dirty fucking cowards sold the country out.

If they accept this deal, the clear message to anyone paying attention is that Democrats winning races doesn't matter. There is no point in voting for them, because they are incapable of wielding power.
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?

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."
AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

This is, on balance, profoundly dangerous news. If cartels come here to menace Trump's militias (which is really all they are at this point), they'll put us all in danger, and ALL of MAGA's retaliation will land on their political opposition.
