This is genuinely top 5 dumbest thing any American politician has ever said. These fucking people.
Hassan: With the government reopening shortly, Republicans now finally have to come to the table. Or make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood in the way.

Mark Warner's "leave an opinion" option is working still, at least, so let's fill that right up.
And if Schumer wants to be "leader" I feel like every Democrat can tell him what's what.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Can't leave Tim a voicemail at this hour, apparently, though he CAN conduct official business and press releases, I guess?
Anyway, imagine giving up after historic wins and tremendous, obvious momentum gathering behind your party.
Once again, Dem Senators clutching defeat from the jaws of victory.

You do not, in fact, have to give the "allegedly" treatment to CLOSING HIS EYES. He did not *appear* to close his eyes, it's just a fact that his eyes were closed.

As someone with a basic understanding of compound interest, human lifespans, and how "ownership" of vehicles has converted to a "how much can you afford per month?" rather than "What's your budget?" model, I'm sure this can only end well.

This might just be the slant of the media I consume, but I swear I have yet to see a candid photo of Kash Patel that doesn't look like a man preparing to explain to his wife why she caught him sneaking out of her sister's home in the middle of the night. Even some official photos, for that matter.

Interesting analysis here.
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
