Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect
While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

Or more broadly, telling your most committed constituents that they are an anchor, a liability, a problem for you -- that, by caring about anything more than what a non-college middle-PA swing voter cares about, they are fucking everything up for you.
That's the constant message.

I am just a simple small-town lawyer but I really can’t think of a more toxic and self-defeating political strategy than telling your constituents the things they care about are “a distraction.”

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

This dynamic is basically unchanged in the decades I've followed US politics. The right raises a bullshit bad-faith objection, Dems try to change policy to address it, the right just repeats the bad-faith objection, Dems try again ... forever.
So in the end, what does this article amount to? Republicans are telling the same lie about welfare that they've told for 40 years despite consistent efforts — including many led by Democrats — to restrict and police it.
And in response, Democrats should restrict and police it even more.

I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

the funny thing about these lectures, which i would love to give this person a bullhorn to yell in minneapolis right now, is that a harris administration would have kept increasing funding for ICE despite the certainty a right wing president was eventually going to inherit it. we tied our own noose

People love to say “the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 moved the cultural needle back to Trump” while seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 took place while Trump was in power and immediately proceeded an election that he lost.

It basically destroys your ability to Just Dislike things because everything is in this contextless void where war crimes and someone making a change to a media franchise you’re a fan of are all flattened to the same level of thing. Guys get radicalized into fascism by bad dialogue in video games.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

How have only Epstein and Maxwell been prosecuted for the biggest human trafficking scheme in modern U.S. history?
The answer is pretty simple: Pam Bondi knows she can’t go after Epstein’s co-conspirators because they possess damning information on Donald Trump.

The most Democrat consultant-brained piece of this was making it a procedural fight about ACA subsidies — that, if extended for a year, would help the GOP in the 2026 midterms anyway — instead of making it stand against Trump’s lawlessness and corruption.
But that would require believing in things.
But that would require believing in things.
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.
Tentative Senate deal to end shutdown, multiple sources tell me & @frankthorp.bsky.social:
—CR through Jan 30
—Approps minibus
—Fully funds SNAP
—Reverses Trump’s shutdown RIFs
—Promise of Senate vote on ACA subsidies by Dec second week (details/outcome uncertain)
—Led by King/Shaheen/Hassan
