This CR Deal is bad and dumb, but remember that the GOP has put themselves in an absolutely unwinnable position vis-a-vis ACA subsidies and the longer it goes on the worse it gets for them. Dems keeping it in the news is a win with respect to 2026. We are going to back here in Jan.

Just a reminder to everyone that the electoral optimal strategy for the Dems is to NOT get healthcare funding but find a mechanism to keep talking about it while rates go through the roof.

Watch this space, significant chance this is AI.
Watched all of these in the thread...and it's literally just his truth social posts read
And here's the one on Obamacare. It's 26 seconds long and it's him just ranting to camera.
Maybe this is just his new style of unhinged decrees. Maybe an advisor told him younger people like video and his text-based social media presence on Truth Social is seen as old hat. I really don't know.

When Cuomo resigned he was unpopular but insulated. The women going after him gave everyone license to say what they thought. Boylan, an urban planner, was harrassed by Cuomo. She broke the dam in ‘21, and when he surfaced she swore she’d sink him again. She put her shoulder to the wheel on this.

Gerrymanders make things harder but much, much more brittle. Given a big-enough wave and they make the landslide worse. Trump and co are dumb enough to screw this up.
yup. but i think tyranny is, in its own way, weak and brittle when the power of the people comes
not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

No just that, but if the night keeps going the way it started, some of these Gerrymanders are going to backfire.: if the GOP is far enough behind those Gerrymandered seats will turn into a failure cascade.
How many Republicans are looking at the results tonight and deciding to retire next year?

They will get the votes. By hook or by crook, enough abstentions will make it happen. No way YFB makes such crazy demands as “no interest first time home loan” if he is serious about taking down the government.
interesting budget tbh. no major cuts to social programs as far as I see, but buyouts and attrition to the civil service to bring numbers down. wonder if they end up passing it as is?
