Took Congress 12 years to pass burn pit healthcare for veterans poisoned by toxic exposure.Took them 48 hours to approve $40 billion more in defense spending.They'll send you to war in a heartbeat. Getting care when you come home? That requires you fighting them for a decade.

Trump literally said he doesn't trust beautiful people. So people distort their faces with procedures to signal loyalty, abandoning anatomic normalcy not because everyone's doing it, but deliberately, to show 'I'm one of you, I'm not threatening.' Strategic uglification for access.

We can hope, but who replaces them? Another captured "centrist"?
Leadership changes don't fix structural problems. We need to primary the corporate Democrats creating the problem, not just shuffle leadership positions.
The Nevada senators are vulnerable in '28, that's when we make them pay.

I'd say she will setup a Go Fund Me, but they banned her 10 years ago. I'm sure she will be fine, someone will pay for it, she was never on the hook.

It's not Democrat vs Republican, it's corporate politicians vs working people.
When Schumer caves on healthcare while Trump freaks out on the Epstein files, know: they serve different masters, but most aren't us.
20M facing exploded premiums. 50K preventable deaths/year. That's the "compromise."

Don't think the stroke changed Fetterman's politics, I think it made it too exhausting to keep up the progressive performance. Hard to maintain a facade when you're recovering and your corporate donors are still calling. The mask didn't change, it just got too heavy to wear.

We don't have to wait until 2028. 25 Problem Solvers Caucus Democrats, the House side of this same infrastructure, are on the ballot in 2026. Start building primary challenges now while documenting Senate targets.
Two-front strategy: House in '26, Senate in '28.

Appreciate you amplifying this. The more people understand how this infrastructure works, the harder it becomes for corporate Democrats to hide behind "bipartisan" branding.

You were watching it happen in real time. By '85, just 14 years after Powell's memo, the infrastructure was already transforming corporate culture. Romney saying "corporations are people" in 2011, exactly 40 years after Powell, wasn't a slip.
It was mission accomplished.

Exactly right on long-term strategy. However, House Democrats from the Problem Solvers Caucus ARE up for re-election next year. We need both chambers to overturn Citizens United, we can primary these House members in 2026, then go after corporate senators in 2028. Build momentum bottom-up.

100% agree, but here's the problem: these corporate-aligned Democrats benefit from Citizens United. They won't overturn a system that keeps them in power. We need to primary them out first, then we can actually pass campaign finance reform. Can't fix the system with people who profit from it.

Here's the House side: Problem Solvers Caucus, created by No Labels as their House operation.
Same donors, same "bipartisan" cover for corporate priorities. Coordinated dark money infrastructure, not just PAC donations.
25 House Members up for re-election in 2026.

You're right , it goes deeper. The barrel was DESIGNED this way. Powell Memo (1971) = corporate blueprint to capture both parties. DLC was Phase 2. Kaine was final DLC chair. Connects dots. Full story:

Really appreciate you digging into No Labels, the more people researching this, the better.
Key thing to look for: who's on their "board of directors" list and which senators show up at their events. That's where the network becomes visible.
Let me know what you find!

You're right about airport pressure on Nevada senators, real constituent impact.
But as Minority Whip, Durbin's job is coordinating Dem votes. If he's not fighting to hold the line, that signals to others it's "safe" to cave.
Leadership permission = the mechanism.
