I’m familiar, by the way, with the argument that we just aren’t appreciating the NYT’s subtlety here; that it’s actually a searing indictment of this group of elites, just in a “show me, don’t tell me” kind of way. That take relies on ignoring that it’s in the New York Times.

Turns out the only thing dumber than the White House citing DoorDash on inflation is the White House citing DoorDash on inflation and getting it wrong.
The Handbasket: Is “inflation has been tamed” a conclusion one should take from your report?
DoorDash: That's not something that we wrote in the report…The White House can use the language that they are using on that. I'm not gonna speculate on that.

WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

Are they calling for Chuck Schumer to step down so we can get real leadership in the Senate?
No? Then they are part of the problem.

Those 8 Dems took the hit for some larger group of Dems who wanted to cave. (This is clear from who did it -- not one is up in '26.) So, even if your Senators voted no, CALL THEM ANYWAY!!

Why would voters reward a political party with power when it refuses to wield it?
That’s a question Democrats are going to have to answer if they surrender on this shutdown.

Had Schumer been replaced after the spring fiasco you wonder if the result would have been different. He is not a wartime consigliere

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

This. Don’t fall for theater
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.

Don't let it be lost how as soon as the Senators were personally inconvenienced by the shutdown (flight delays) they caved.
There was never any "fight" it was "so long as this doesn't impact me personally..."

This is what happens when Congress allows the President to appoint his criminal defense lawyers to run the Justice Department.

GOP: Caring about the problems of citizens is a commie plot.
Emmer: "There is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about. That is a direct quote from Commie Mamdani! And it should terrify every single freedom-loving American."
Emmer: "Pro-terrorist, Marxist radicals are now the left's mainstream."
