I believe that she is referring to the 8 senators who had their phone records subpoenaed by Jack Smith, not the 8 Dems who broke ranks. Unfortunate and confusing coincidence.
AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Archaic phrase keeps running through my head: “Even the appearance of impropriety.”

Maggie Hassan could not answer her supporter’s question “”Why can’t you all just work together?” with “Because the Republicans are a zombie cult.” so instead she threw her constituency under the bus.
I mean…just how stupid are those NH voters?!
New in PN: Cue the rebellion

"The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"
Cue the rebellion
The Democratic base is enraged at their party's capitulation — and that's a good thing.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social @theatlantic.com As always, even the very best assessments and analyses leave out where the resentment-ees get the fuel for their grievances: Fox. Murdoch et al skate effortlessly over shale ice. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Sadly, younger people will not remember Nixon turning toward the hidden microphone in his office during a dirty tricks meeting with “…of course, that would be wrong.” trump, like Nixon, like a evesdropped mafia don always finds a place to drop in peace and love.

Here is a metaphor for the Democrats.
1. Focus: Get trump out.
2. Get allies in charge.
3. Resulting atmosphere will be there for you to pursue your personal priorities. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

@laboxalaroxa.bsky.social The people who write and publish magazines deserve decent pay and a decent life…just like everybody else. Santa Claus does not subsidize them for your pleasure.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

@grahamformaine.bsky.social Anyone who reads his biography and decides that the tattoo indicated Nazi sympathies is either willfully ignorant or willfully malicious…the latter applies to the aged Janet Mills. Reporters scrupulously include the descriptor “similar”, ie, it is/was not the tottenkopf.

@timmiller.bsky.social Tim, Great convo with Frank Fukuyama, but as close as you two got with “the phone” and the internet as the major information chaos, you never addressed the overwhelming corruption caused by Fox. This is so commonplace in analyses I almost think they are charmed.

@nytimes.com Matt 7; 3-5 Has anyone checked out Hegseth’s proud ink? This column, taking one “maybe/possibly” and blowing it up to a campaign killer is simply an excuse to beat the daylights out of a whipping boy. And I would suggest that she look up that derivation. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...
