agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

THIS IS A TERRIBLE DEAL WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM?
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

After a great week of big wins for Democrats at the ballot box why cave now? I literally do not understand the logic of gifting Trump a win and an opportunity to lay blame for the entire shutdown on Democrats

Call your senators
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I am also unclear how long it’s going to take for someone with power to acknowledge trans and queer fans of the NWSL watching this all unfold and what that might mean for them, in addition to the protection of the players.

Concern increasing, this is starting to feel like Tyler’s back before they finally had to go do an additional surgery

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery...
Stop.

Trans.
Kids.
The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The Democratic establishment's ugly reaction to Zohran Mamdani reveals an unpleasant truth.
They would rather lose elections than change.
The addiction to rich donors and consultants is killing the party. But Mamdani shows a path out. An analysis.
