This reminds me of another pundit thing that drives me crazy. Like the last time I was in London I went rooftop ice skating, to a ball pit cocktail bar and to like a giant pinball machine and there are still theatrical exhibition takes that ignore how much our entertainment options have changed.
‘Young audiences are less scared of it’: why London jazz clubs are expanding and thriving against the odds

As the Jazz Cafe and Ronnie Scott’s expand, and Blue Note eyes its arrival, proprietors say there’s an energy in the scene – but financial pressures remain

Schumer had exactly zero ability to stop this particular scenario and the fact that he kept them on side for 40 days is near miraculous.
the caucus gets how this is *worse* right? if you're just going around Schumer, what's the point of leadership

As I've posted many times, moral clarity > moral certainty. Moral certainty leads to Auschwitz, the gulag, and Tuol Sleng.

Just had an argument with someone who is disappointed that Kim Davis' attempt to overturn marriage equality failed because they wanted people like me to lose our marriages in order to galvanize "a more radical queer movement."
Oh, and because gay marriage is just "capitalist fascism," or something.

I don't even understand the reasoning people are using for *why* Schumer would secretly orchestrate the cave

The number of people in the last 18-odd hours who’ve told me as a federal employee (contractor, so I have no guarantee of backpay) some version of, “well, you’re already fucked, so just take one for the team” has been really eye-opening.
And not in a good way.

“If I were in the Senate, I wouldn’t vote for this compromise,” our columnist @ezraklein.bsky.social writes. “Shutdowns are an opportunity to make your arguments, and the country was just starting to pay attention.”

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.
