I'm not sure it's a distraction, but I'm reading Coma.

I agree, they’re only calling for the Epstein files to score points with voters. Their loyalty to Trump hasn’t shifted, so the outrage feels like theater.

What can you do?

- Get organized. Join a left membership org: Democratic Socialists (socialist), Our Revolution (socdem), Working Families (progressive + liberal).
- Work with them to get a credible threat into your 2026 House primary race.
- Vote. Kick the cowards out.

The word on the street is that you're about to CAVE for the "promise" of a vote on the subsidies by the Republicans, who will of course vote no. That means you will have accomplished nothing!
You better read the room, Democrat voters are NOT behind you on this, you're betraying us!!!

Don't you dare cave!

Yep, that's what I will do.

I wish they would all call in sick. That would force the Republicans to take action to reopen the government.
