Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

Real talk, friends: Schumer won't resign, and Dems will remain impotent federally through 2026. So what can we do?

Organize ever more people into the orgs waging primaries.

In NYC, the tip of the Left electoral spear is now NYC-DSA. But just about everywhere else in NY, Left primaries win via WFP.
Tonight, Senate Republicans — aided by eight Democrats — passed a funding bill that will raise healthcare premiums for millions of Americans and leave some families without health care at all.

Let's discuss.

We could completely flip the order of the items on this chart and I'd be okay with that.
Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I'd focus my anger on an organ that is forced to be more intimately connected to the base: the DSCC.

"Independent voter".

I am not sure jumping in the most bandwagon antisemitic approach to this involves much free thinking.

AIPAC sucks, supports genocide, and is a hub for Christian Zionists as much as anyone. *And* at the same time:

When you vaguepost like this about issues unrelated to Israel suggesting an org associated with Judaism is to blame, you are at least FLIRTING with antisemitic conspiracy theory.

They're blaming the Jews

Or left in their views
If something they don't like is in the news
It's always, it's always The Jews!

I have been blissfully focused on my adorable 5-month-old baby and not on the shutdown fight, so I cannot speak to the particulars here, but I am reasonably confident the answer is not "the Jews did this"

No but seriously what exactly are people supposed to do with that.

Can you say, out loud, what you think people should do with that.

If your Dem. US Senator is up for re-election next year, and their platform doesn't include a plank for a complete overhaul of the current leadership, ask them why. Agitate. Make them very uncomfortable.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.

If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

I am not interested in reading poorly edited Substacks with political hot takes like "we should abolish the US Senate" and "General Strike, starting tomorrow."

Angry? Yes, good.

Organize. Fight. Take time to recenter. Get out and about. Look for your people. Actively help others if you can.

Serious question: What are some punitive measures that a strong Dem. Senate Leader could bring to bear on a handful of Senators who refuse to hold the line and vote with the remaining causus?

I can only come up with censure (toothless) and removal from committees.

This is 11th post from Schumer to make into ratio hall of fame on this web site.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Would it change your mind to hear that the GOP want to overturn the Amendment that allows the direct election of Senators?

Do you want Mike Johnson to have sole control of the Legislature?
Abolishing the Senate and SCOTUS should be talked about much more.
It's not normal to have a "senate" in a democracy. It's explicitly anti-democratic.

Yall it hasn't even been a week since Tuesday! You didn't even ride it for a week! I never want to hear a democratic consultant or anyone talk to me about public opinion polls, or votes because apparently none of that mattered tonight.

Actually none of it mattered!
