If you can please listen to Switched on Bach. It's dated now but it was ground breaking when released in 1968. Nobody had heard anything like it at the time!

"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files.
This is example of why we can't have nice things.

Schumer “negotiates” like the The Good Place panel.
Does everyone remember that?
They said they would form a committee and write a strongly worded letter.
Almost every human being on earth was being tortured in Hell, and the “good guys” were ceding ground on every single issue to the bad guys.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

I’m alarmed that federal workers, including TSA agents and air traffic controllers, will miss their first full paycheck this Friday because of the President’s federal shutdown.

Fox: Roasted coffee prices are up 22% in the past year. There's a 50% tariff on coffee from Brazil. That's the nation's biggest coffee supplier. Take a look at this bag right here. The container that bag came in is costing this coffee shop $68,000 more than it did over the summer
