Yeah, honestly, it's not even an Israel thing: I don't want US politicians "devoted" to any country other than ours. That's your job.

There’s a simple solution here: James Bond in Hell. He has sex with the Devil’s wife, kills the Devil by kicking him out of a helicopter, etc.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

Senate Democrats are either collaborators or the most gullible wimps in the world, and either way they don't deserve power.
At the very least we need to primary them all, we should move past the need for a Senate entirely

We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

It's not normal to have a "senate" in a democracy. It's explicitly anti-democratic.

Anyway, if this week taught us anything: get involved with the people who actually care about things. People like Mamdani are the model, and we will replace these feckless collaborators in time.

Had the shutdown continued, Republicans would have been blamed for holiday travel chaos — and by the time the next CR fight comes along, rates will have already gone up for millions.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

not snark, actually asking: after pushing a comma strategy that focused on health care, what is the case for the Democrats making a deal to end the shutdown now that doesn't involve a win on health care?
