Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

They are proud of their wisdom and moderation
It is not moderate to allow millions to go off health insurance in the middle of a cost of living crisis
It is not moderate to allow damage to our institutions and rights—some unknown amount of which will become longterm to permanent
That’s extreme.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

On the “strategy” of scholars changing language they use to get around censors: You will never win. They know where the ideas they hate hide, and they will take the next word and the next word and the next until you are left with the most impoverished language for the world’s most complex problems.

This stuff really freaks me out. They see their future as one where the decisionmakers live in military installations, where the civil and military functions of government become merged.
And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases.
