Moving thread about our hope in the shadow of Senate Democrat’s cynicism
Dropped by the Russell and Hart Senate office buildings with a companion to express our displeasure to Kaine’s and Warner’s staffs about last night’s capitulation.
The Calder sculpture in the atrium of the Hart Building is “Mountain and Clouds”, but they removed the clouds (seen in the maquette)…\1

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Note that there are zero Democratic senators on this list. They're all in on the deal, even the ones who voted no.
Important to realize that there are no "good" Dem senators, and it will be essentially impossible to reform the party internally via primaries.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

The best take on all of this shutdown came from @shannonrwatts.bsky.social who told me this would only end by Republicans killing the filibuster or Democrats caving. That’s it. But Schumer somehow broadcast that Republicans would cave when they never gave any indication they would.

Nothing better underscores that Dems have no values or beliefs than the fact that they called every issue except ACA subsidies a distraction and then proceeded to fully capitulate on ACA subsidies

Do not help your opposition is politics 101. Do not help fascists who have turned government into a weapon against our people is human 101. So is, don't draw a line you claim represents your unwavering principles and hurl yourself across it.
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.

Carefully choreographed votes and angry press releases are all cute, but the indication of whether anyone in the caucus really cares is whether there’s any push for leadership changes or punitive action against the cavers.
There won’t be, but that would be the theoretical sign this is different

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)

Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)

The Senate Democratic caucus is a “team.” All their members including progressives are “team players.” They all own this notwithstanding their performative no votes. If they cared about having a functioning team they’d organize to fire their leaders and get new ones. Instead they keep riding along.
Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Indeed. Until progressives in the Senate Democratic caucus directly challenge Schumer’s leadership it’s kind of hard to take their grousing seriously at this point. They are all in on this #SchumerSurrender politics.
Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

So, no language to hire back all the federal workers Trump fired in the months prior to the shutdown, and just a promise to hold a doomed vote on Obamacare subsidies. What was the point of it all then? So many federal workers were furloughed for so long for nothing? www.cnn.com/2025/11/09/p...

The emerging deal would include a stopgap measure to extend government funding until January and be tied to a larger package to fully fund several key agencies.
