If “That’s not nothing” is the best analysis out of the last 48 hours…a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich is probably a more worthy conversation.

Some nights we sign off with hope and inspiration.

Tonight, we sign off with anger and betrayal.

To the senators who caved... twice... May you have the night you deserve.

And to the rest of you...
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Night, folks 💚

1/6 🧵A newsletter subscriber messaged: "Yes, I get the implications. What I don’t get, specifically why in that moment when they were dealing with a strong hand, those eight Democrats broke rank and caved"

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.

Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.

Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

Canada has lost its measles elimination status 😢 And with that, the only region of the world of eliminate measles - the Americas - goes with it

What is elimination and why does it matter?

Tl;dr: more work for already overstrained healthcare and public health systems
🧵👇
As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...
Canada loses measles elimination status — as does the entire Americas region
Canada has formally lost its measles elimination status, the country’s public health agency announced, triggering the loss of that status throughout all of the Americas.

Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

Her district was purplish back then, and Stefanik was a moderate. Her rating from the conservative Heritage Foundation for 2017-19, the first half of Trump’s first term, was a fractional 24 percent.

You’re not corrupt enough
I wonder if I can get a group of people in my life to stand around me and say stuff like this.

White House officials are furious with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who talked Trump into suggesting a 50-year mortgage plan.

The White House was blindsided by the idea and is now dealing with a furious backlash from conservative allies, business leaders and lawmakers.

Cool, challenge Schumer for his position then @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.
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.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?
