Even this dummy can see the very clear politics of the moment.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Chuck Schumer must be replaced as Leader. The people spoke on Tuesday, they demand a Democratic opposition to Trump and his MAGA GOP, the capitulation today on funding the government is Schumer's failure. Enough if enough. We demand fighters.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

Any deal that counts on GOP being good faith partners in governance misunderstands the modern Republican Party. Idiotic and out of touch!

5 days ago voters swarmed the polls and voted for anyone with a D next to their name to rebuke Trump and GOP abuses. Tonight, a group of Senate Dems told those voters to fuck off. Opposite of good politics.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

This is a BIG win!

The election of Sacavage to county court, if it stands following the counting of provisional ballots, would be the first time the Democrats have won a Cumberland County judgeship by election since at least World War II @velshi.com
Democrat projected to win in historic Cumberland County judicial election: ‘It’s a shock’
Her father flipped a judicial seat blue while running in a red county years ago. Now, she’s likely done the same.

The speaker should check out county/municipal races is “red” townships and counties. Start with Cumberland County PA. This wave was deep.
Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

This wave election extended all the way down to the municipal level, in my county we won countywide races, swept municipal races and won seats Dems haven’t held in decades.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

We voted yes.

Thank you Mr. President.
Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

If you haven't already, VOTE YES to protect our courts!
Our Democratic Supreme Court Justices — Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht — are standing up for Pennsylvanians and fighting for our rights. 🗳 Vote ✅ YES to join them in protecting our freedoms on Tuesday, November 4! #VoteYES #ProtectOurCourts

Dems think voters want de-politicization when evidence shows they reward politicizers. Example: We called it the Bipartisan infrastructure bill when it was passed in the face of overwhelming GOP opposition.
In a striking passage, former officials criticize Biden WH for being skittish about publicizing Labor Dept corporate enforcement actions to avoid “politicizing” them.

When voters don't know who's on their side, it risks "fascists stepping in," one says.
