This piece is a species of what we might call “born yesterday” coverage that sets aside how these actions fit into the history of Trumpism and authoritarianism. This is reporting in the spirit of what George W. S. Trow called “no-history” in his remarkable essay, “Within the Context of No Context.”

This EXACT same reporting team was saying that a deal was "near" in AUGUST.
This is not a “duel,” which suggests both sides are equally culpable, but the latest salvo in the Trump administration’s ideological war on Harvard and higher education.

Why didn't the democrats commit as many federal crimes as possible less than 24 hours after the Epstein files were released. I am a very serious person with very serious ideas. My ideas include: The constitution must be upheld, and it must be upheld by doing crimes.

12. And if we want to talk about the politics, here's some easy math: there are a lot more voters who consume energy than there are who produce energy. If you're confused on that point, you might be a crappy pundit...

Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

It would be nice if there was literally a shred of evidence offered for this.
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

I continue to think one of the biggest divides on this site is between people who understand that the last time we had a good, relatively easy way out of all this was Nov 5, 2024, and people who still don’t.

We polled a highly engaged liberals and you'll never guess what they thought!
We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting.
Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Looking at the GOP acting electorally suicidally and saying “they’re not acting like they’re planning on having elections” is like watching someone driving 90mph at a brick wall and being like “wow they must have figured out a way for this not to kill them.”

Love to pretend there weren't confounding factors!
A guy running for mayor of a super left big city in the U.S. barely won over 50% of Black voters, lost Jewish voters, failed to break 50% in Queens, & underperformed local races by double digits & you’re crying in replies a day after someone said the last part was ignored in oversaturated coverage.
lmao this is quite the word salad that boils down to "move the goal posts for the brown person"

Incredibly fucking dumb thing to say the week an election was just held!
It’s shit like this that makes me think the GOP doesn’t care about winning elections and they’re just not planning on having them. Because no one who thinks they have to win elections does this.
They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

The cost hikes this year were after the elections, how did that work out?
This is a great deal for Republicans, since it would push the ACA cost hikes until after the midterms. On a purely political calculus, would be malpractice not to take this.
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."
