Trump,Musk,Putin,Thiel,the GOP,&many billionaires ARE ORGANIZED CRIME. They have grabbed our gov't & are tipping others into authoritarianism around the world.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off.
Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

So before they vote, will Johnson have to swear in Grijalva?

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

This was Schumer's baby. The Senate whip (either party's) has a specific function. The whip cajoles and strongarms party members to vote with leadership. The one person the Senate Minorioty Leader (or Majority) can count on is their whip. Schumer's is Dick Durbin, who voted with the Republicans.
