What makes Law Dork different?
Here's an example. In my discussion at the end of today's newsletter about the Indiana redistricting vote, I gave you a link to the bill and the actual vote. It's a little thing, but important, and so few media sources do it.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is accusing Speaker Mike Johnson of undermining a White House proposal to extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies for two years as Congress stares down a fast-approaching deadline to avoid massive premium hikes.
Jeffries says Johnson ‘tanked’ Trump’s health care proposal
Congress has just a few weeks left to reach a deal to avoid expiring Obamacare tax credits.

In reversal, Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files
President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it.

Tim Kaine: "I don't tell Ro Khanna or AOC or anybody else who you should pick as your House leader, because I got a full time job being a senator. I don't need to freelance opinions about House leadership. They should focus on their own leadership and let senators do what we need to do."

There were eight votes here. King isnt a Democrat, Fetterman is Fetterman. Add four “small tight states with razor thin margins” Senators who don’t need a leadership push on this, and you’re left with Kaine and Durbin. IMO the only coordination here was Durbin covering for Warner.
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.

so currently defectors are:

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear:
We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people.
If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
