This is absolutely true. Time to change it.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

If this sellout truly was orchestrated so that retiring/non-2026 senators took the fall for others who wanted this but are up next year (e.g., Ossoff, Warner), there is no way Schumer was not involved. They would need him to pull this off.

Enjoy that 2028 primary, Chuck.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

If these 8-10 Dems cave, every other Dem senator should vote no and Jeffries should whip all House Ds to vote no. DO NOT GIVE THEM COVER. Voters gave them cover on Tuesday and they are throwing it away.

Bending over backwards never improved anyone’s posture.

Great summary of this week’s SNAP circus in the courts by the always savvy @stevevladeck.bsky.social. It seems Justice Jackson is doing what she can to make lemonade out a dumpster full of lemons that are on fire and caked in shit.
190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

November 5 headline predictions:

Independent media: Historic night for Democrats as voters repudiate Trump/GOP

NYT: Democrats win key races but will it matter?

WaPo: Is America embracing communism?

Fox News: Why do cops hate Nancy Mace?

Every fiber of my fact-loving, policy-arguing, poll-devouring, blue-soaked Democratic being hates this excellent piece by @dennycarter.bsky.social. Because I know he’s right. Goddammit.
Vibes Aren’t Everything. They Are the Only Thing.
To survive in this political environment, Democrats must stop thinking and start feeling.

#TheBluesBrothers, already considered one of the best comedies of all time, should be considered one of the best musicals as well.

5 days before Halloween, I decided to find a scary movie to get me in the spirit. Scrolling through Netflix, I saw A House of Dynamite was out. I’ve been wanting to see it so I went to with that instead. Mission accomplished. @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Damn straight.
I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
