I think a fundamental problem Dems have right now is that currently none of their leaders have any agency.

I could very plausibly imagine VA Dems aiming for a map like the below, which puts 9 seats pretty firmly in the Dem column.

I really like this.

This revised map is more secure, and is unambiguously VRA compliant.

It’s clearly better than nothing but still… can’t say I’m not a bit disappointed.

I’m a sicko in that I unironically like CA’s vote counting.

It would be hilarious if Joni Ernst somehow put Iowa Senate in play through a series of entirely preventable gaffes.
Generically you’d expect that an incumbent in an R+11 state should be safe no matter the national environment but the ingredients are there for the seat to theoretically be in play.

The three Dems dropping dead was bad but not actually pivotal in anything. Under a realistic gerrymander of New York however (see below), Dems would’ve had three more seats, and thus the house majority.

Nope, the GOP could still have done it. The real problem is that that democrats in NY spent all of 2022 and 2024 going "Ooooh but crime tho" and not shoving through a gerrymander.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.
“We liked it over here,” one said.

Schumer must go at this point. It is one of the only ways Senate Dems can possibly regain credibility.

Holy shit Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi says Schumer is wrong and the House GOP's CR is worse than a govt shutdown.
"Democrats must not buy into this false choice," she says.
"Let’s be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable."

Trump is already underwater and Elon is ridiculously underwater. Important context to keep in mind when considering the CR vote.

Schumer has got to go.
Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

If the CR ends up passing, which is looking increasingly likely, Schumer needs to go.

If the House GOP CR passes, all Dems involved on the senate side, including leadership, should be primaried. Allowing this CR to pass would be so unbelievably bad.

Dems should be willing to force the GOP to nuke the filibuster in order to protect Elon/DOGE. I do not believe they are willing to do this.
