Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

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!

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)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.

Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.

He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

You know that line from The Newsroom, where he goes "You know why people don't like liberals? 'Cause they lose. If liberals are so fucking smart, how come they lose so goddamn always?"

Anyway I just typed that from memory because I have a lot of occasions to think about it
It’s flabbergasting that you could pick just about any random American off the street and they would show infinitely more political willpower and courage than our entire cadre of alleged leaders and titans of business. We’re a nation occupied by a tiny upper class of cowards.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

The deal reached in the Senate today would reverse the mass firings initiated during the government shutdown — and guarantee backpay for furloughed government workers.

It includes backpay for furloughed workers, and stymies the effort to slash the federal workforce.

Article says private jets are 1/6 of all traffic handled by FAA and entire reduction in FAA load could be shouldered by grounding private jets. No need to affect commercial flights.
These millionaires have a suggestion for the FAA: Cancel all private jet flights during the shutdown
Private jets make up one in six flights handled by the FAA, and taxpayers already foot the bill for their 'jet setting,' says Patriotic Millionaires.

Great piece by @jamellebouie.net.

I wish the democrats were making a stink that this kind of consolidation of power only happens when congress abdicates all of their power to the executive. The Supreme Court should let the power stay with Congress instead of going the executive more power.

I really can’t believe 80% of apple.com is just footnote text now. Really shows the lack of design leadership even though they say it’s back.

@seanhollister.bsky.social I just picked up the Z1 Legion Go S from Best Buy as an open box for right around $700. At that price I think it hits the sweet spot of power and price. I was really debating this and the OLED but wanted to future proof as much as I could. Now off to play SNES roms 😂

Here is the fun fact that Ukraine showed the world, all you need is a commercially available drone to make a strike on your enemies home soil. This might not be the same far off war Iraq was for the average American.
