It’s not just that Trump is personally a rapist, though there’s lots of credible evidence to suggest that he is. It’s that he is promoting a fundamentally pro-rape ideology, and that the permissiveness for rape and entitlement to rape that are core to his worldview are central to his appeal for men.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

“I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct. 1, because I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed federal worker would say to me at church”

The biggest problem the Democrats have is that their brand is so toxic that they may not be able to turn Trump’s massive unpopularity into electoral wins for them. And this debacle isn’t helping.

I think Dems should be realistic about the uselessness of the language in their bs sellout compromise bill stating that further RIFs are illegal. Trump himself is immune from consequences of criminal action, and has no shame about pardoning people who do crimes for him.
NEW: Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of allies in his bid to subvert the 2020 election including:
-Rudy Giuliani
-John Eastman
-Mark Meadows
-Sidney Powell
-Ken Chesebro
-Christina Bobb
-Kelli Ward
-Jenna Ellis

Top two location-specific movie audience reactions: watching Only Lovers Left Alive in Nashville and the wall of discontented clucking when they called some house in Detroit as “Jack White’s house”. And, watching Bugonia in Baltimore and everyone’s excited whispering when Stavros showed up.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

SNAP is a vital program and a big deal. But at least if your SNAP is late or missing, there are food banks and pantries and charities that can step in.
There is no place to turn if your ACA subsidies are cut. You can’t just go down to the health care bank and stock up.

It’s not just that they don’t give a shit about you, your family and your budget, or your freedoms, or you job… the cherry on top is that they think you’re too dumb to see through this ruse.
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

Federal workers have been taking it on the chin for ten months, and then put up with this shit for NOTHING. It’s infuriating.
What exactly was the point of this suffering? Why did federal employees go without pay for a month and a half? How can these Democrats face their own constituents and explain the purpose of this whole exercise in the first place?

I’m calling my “no” voting Senators to tell them that I won’t be voting for them, volunteering for them, or voting for them (or any other Dem for Senate) unless they remove Schumer.
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.
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.

It makes them look like they held out in their “fighter” Halloween costumes long enough to reap the benefits from it on Election Day, but now that that’s all over they can show their real loser faces.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

In fact, presenting it as a win only encourages Republicans to propose awful things that are illegal, just as a negotiating tactic.
One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!
That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all.
Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

Horrific.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
