Hmm: Ms Kendzior said: “the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles”. From her most recent “When I loved New York”: “for example, arrest war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu”. I wonder if that phrase gets you banned? sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/when-i-lov...

Bond flick in the style of Rashomon, in which investigators are attempting to reconstruct an accurate picture of Bond's service record, displayed as clips playing conflicting versions from earlier movies featuring multiple James Bonds.
The solution to "but we blew up Bond in the last movie" seems obvious to me: make the next one a prequel. Return Bond to his Cold War roots with 60s gadgets and luscious midcentury cars, fashion, and decor. The stakes for the plot are already established and couldn't be higher.

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Chuck Schumer came out of the Senate Caucus meeting smiling, knowing that there were 10 votes for the cave-in without him, so it could pass without his vote.
If he didn't approve, the vote wouldn't have happened.
Chuck: some reporters may be this dumb, but your primary electorate isn't.

Less than 24 hours ago Republican Senators were offering terms like reversing all the firing of govt employees. It appears Schumer is now looking to just settle on one year extension of ACA subsidies for the sake of bipartisanship.

So no commitment that a dollar is spent as intended but funding gets approved for Trump’s secret police?
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

The Baileys aren't Chuck Schumer's excuse for inaction
They're psychic entities in the astral plane, thoughtforms of pure malevolence that only Chuck can see. They have haunted him his entire life

![When a young Chuck Schumer arrived at Harvard in 1967 as a freshman, he joined the great political stirring of those years—who could resist it? But Abbie Hoffman he was not. “I was faced with what Alexander Hamilton called mobocracy,” Schumer recalled in his coauthored 2007 book Positively American. He became a College Democrat, canvassed for Eugene McCarthy, and eschewed the radicals. Campus members of the New Left’s Progressive Labor faction horrified him, and he felt “sickened” seeing protesters scream at cops. “The police weren’t pigs. They were the people I’d grown up with. They were my neighbors. My friends. They were the Baileys [imaginary Irish-American Long Islanders with whom Schumer consults on decisions].” Soon enough, Schumer’s party—the College Dems and, of course, their friends the non-college Dems—would pay the price. “By the late ’70s,” Schumer observed, “the Baileys did not trust the Democrats anymore, and the Democrats weren’t listening to the Baileys.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreiel46xfqpfmntpl5k63lovtbqdnepc4fcvgglcgxgqtmta6ubug5u@jpeg)
