One appeaser, Sen. Angus King, explained his decision with, “Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work.”
Well sure, when you prematurely fold rather than see a fight through, you fail. And why should Trump opponents vote for anyone who thinks standing up to Trump isn’t worth doing?

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. And after the primary — whatever happens — we will rally behind the winner and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week.
We get the party we demand and we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

If the dem Senate caucus is really mad at the cavers they can show that by stripping Durban of his role as whip. This is an insanely easy ask and they will never do it.

Why are people agreeing to this stupid deals. Everyone who says it was bad and wrong are equally cowards who just want to go home.
Senate just reached a deal to vote TONIGHT on final passage of the CR plus minibus to reopen the government. A series of 8 votes set to begin in moments.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Nah you need to show that you actually believe this shit isnt ok. You can call for the minority leader to step down for his incompetence or the whip for his back dealing contrary to leadership.

Real cool @durbin.senate.gov. You are a waste of space. Resign and be unhappy in your meaningless private existence.
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

Hey shithead object to fast tracking the process
I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

What an absolute waste all of them are.
Hearing now that @chrismurphyct.bsky.social will allow the fast-tracking of the capitulation CR.
If any senator objects, the bill passage could be delayed until Friday. But apparently zero Senators have objected to the scheduling motion on the hotline.
Zero!
