Elon is a bullshit artist vaporware hawker and it’s totally correct to mock this specific stupid claim, but it is sort of depressing how him associating himself so strongly with techno-utopianism has negatively polarized so many against it.

i'd give 3:1 odds on the trump administration just straight-up using tariff revenues as a slush fund to pay for things outside the appropriations process

The thing the military will have to reconcile is the tacit agreement among the two political parties that the us military would be used domestically would only be in extraordinary circumstances and not in a partisan manner and one of the two parties is like, “ya fuck that”
Mike Johnson: "I cannot for the life of me understand how the Democrats think this is some kind of winning political message. Yield man! Let the troops come into your city and show how crime can be reduced."

The Dem Establishment's problem is that they can't stop having these moments. This comes right after refusing to side with Mamdani against Cuomo until the last moment (or never, even after the Trump endorsement, if you're Schumer!), which comes after voting en masse for all sorts of horrid noms...
one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

caving was wrong but if you think the minority party will receive backlash or lesson the backlash on the incumbent party over it you have never watched elections
JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

I don't think shifting the shutdown into rolling short term CRs is an apocalyptic loss. It's also not optimal play imo. I also think the fact that it makes the base livid is a bonus long term for the fight corner of the coalition

All judgments of the effectiveness of midterms strategy must be considered in the context of Trump doing a YMCA dance party while under federal indictment & winning the popular vote
Yes - this is a loss because Democrats have now signed on to ACA cuts as a complicit party and once again made it a less effective issue for the mid terms
From that perspective, this would be a failure, right? Because the Dems lose the narrative that they did everything to stand in the way of ACA cuts.
