Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?"

I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.

Federal agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl in Little Village this weekend. There's no limit to what these thugs will do.

To make Chicago safe again, we need ICE and CBP to get the hell out of our city.

Federal agents were shot at, according to the Department of Homeland Security, while legal observers said agents created a "dangerous and unsafe environment."

In their own (teeny tiny) way, the Lions and Pistons wins yesterday and today over the Commanders and Wizards feel like some kind of karmic vengeance for what's going on in DC.

It seems crucial (and long overdue) that our national political discourse has finally shifted from an obsession with "the economy" to what actually matters: whether people can afford the basic things they need to live.

Lots of emails from pols chastising the Dem capitulation last night.

If your email doesn’t call for new leadership, please spare me.

Yes, ⏬of low-cost & subsidized units a major problem in metro Atlanta as #RedHotCity continues to see high demand. Yes, allowing ⏫multifamily, especially in suburbs, is important, but much more $ to *deeply* affordable units needed. Policy choices by Atlanta & Georgia have been insufficient. 1/2

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

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:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

@durbin.senate.gov You just voted with Trump to strip the ACA and are a hypocrite Sir.
President Trump said on the campaign trail that he had ‘concepts of a plan’ to make health care affordable.

More than a year later… we’re still waiting for it.

A congress and senate where power is accrued by seniority in a system without term limits or retirement age limits insures an endlessly entrenched old and in the way gerontocracy that blocks democratic renewal and change that reflects the will of the electorate.

This, but for those critical scholars who dismiss the work of scholars who engage in actual policy work and pushback against power, while they say nothing and play up to various power structures. They save their radical fervor for articles that will likely be read by a few dozen academics, if that.
Always absolutely fucking *wild* to me when I read folks in Black Studies writing condescendingly about folks doing grassroots work in their communities because it’s not “radical” by an academic’s standards

Bi- you’re a tenure-line professor at a university with a multi-billion dollar budget 🙄

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)

Yep. My feelings exactly.
Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

Apparently, it is negotiable!
Health care isn’t negotiable.

We need to both reopen the government and work together to protect access to affordable health care by extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

A lot of viral video of Bovino’s terrorism yesterday in Little Village. This frame shows a branch of Self-Help Credit Union in background.

Self Help, out of North Carolina, has a storied legacy as a CDFI, a program Miller-Trump is trying to destroy.

It’s all coming together for the far-right.
