American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Totally sleazy and dishonest machinations by Schumer here
He fucking orchestrated this, by getting 8 politicians not up for reelection to vote for this and acting like he and none of the other people facing elections have anything to do with it.
They are all fucking complicit.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Also your plot to confuse Americans and lie to their faces and hope they wouldn't notice the kidnappings and astronomical grocery prices has obviously not worked, so if you want to stay in business you might want to start reporting the news again instead of running press releases from the WH
Mamdani’s win is a warning for media:
Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.
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."

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

28. The Democrats should act accordingly. With voters behind them, they should talk to reporters as if they were co-conspirators in a scheme to fleece the people, driving up prices, and whitewashing lies, rationalizing evil and sanewashing Trump’s just plain obvious deterioration.

Been pounding this table for years, but rich liberals need to BUY media outlets. Newspapers, local TV, cable, radio. We are not only in a battle with the Republicans, we are in an information war and we own very few information outlets.
27. The Democrats are most vulnerable to pressure by the press corps. If they cave, it will be in hoping they get points for being reasonable or moderate or whatever. However, the press corps can be trusted as much as Trump can be.

26. It showed not only that Trump is fallible but that reporters are liable in the rage felt by voters who are behaving like they’re victims of a scam. It wasn’t just a referendum on Trump’s second term. Tuesday’s election was a referendum on the press corps.

This judge ordered the Trump Administration to release all its SNAP funding by Friday because, in his own words, "Children are immediately at risk of going hungry."
How sick do you have to be to appeal that order?

"The former speaker was sentenced in September to 36 months in federal prison on wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, using fake names to carry out a fraud and money laundering charges earlier."

Trump’s DOJ is full of shit and this judge just told them that. Great reporting in this thread
Critical ruling that illustrates how our language must allow us to speak truth to each other. This regime is committing crimes against humanity, abducting and disappearing people. To label this "immigration policy" or to engage in debates about crime levels aids the regime.
Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis has just taken the bench to rule on federal agents actions' during a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and the suburbs.
