not only that, but musk sent his personal goons to follow the whistleblower. when the police who were sent to check out the "threat" found the engineer, he was curled up in a corner sobbing.
musk then dedicated further resources attempting to blackball the reporter who ran the engineer's story.

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:

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

not snark, actually asking: after pushing a comma strategy that focused on health care, what is the case for the Democrats making a deal to end the shutdown now that doesn't involve a win on health care?

Second American Civil War isn't inevitable at all, but people really need to accept that a) the American Constitutional system is no longer functioning, and b) last time that happened at this scale we fought a civil war. Nothing here is inside the bounds of ordinary politics

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Senate Democrats are a political science experiment to determine whether it's still possible for a major American party to become so hated that it collapses and is replaced
I still kinda think it’s going to be D+12 in a year because the orange god king is determined to to be a blansas sized political suicide bomber

People need to understand that Chicago is a preview, not a culmination.
I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”
ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving
The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

A nationwide Democratic sweep in Tuesday’s election followed by a total cave-in to the Republicans five days later would be the ultimate snatching of defeat from the jaws of victory.
