Explain how losing the filibuster while in the minority and still not getting health care would have been a “win”.

Would the messaging have been stronger if D’s kept it going for another month? Maybe! They have been winning the messaging war so far. But to think that in another month or two R’s would have thrown in the towel and funded major Democratic legislation? Lol.

Delusional is thinking there was a real path to a house majority and Trump signature on extending the ACA subsidies.

Well Schumer voted no, but the message is that your health care premiums are skyrocketing, D’s wanted to stop that, and R’s wanted it to happen so much that they were willing to starve people and cancel Thanksgiving to make sure it did. To get them back down, you need an actual D majority.

There’s a misconception that shutdown is one weird trick that lets the party in the minority somehow enact major policy into law, and it’s pure wishcasting. The shutdown shows voters what you are willing to go to the mats for if and when they put you back in the majority. That’s it.

He was on senior status - he was already semi-retired with a reduced workload, and his successor had already been appointed. Moving to full retirement doesn’t create an opening for a Trump appointee, but it does allow him to speak freely.

EVs are worse than gas cars if you can’t charge where you sleep (a problem for some urban users), but they’re better if you can. Unless you drive 400 miles nonstop, recharging 1x at a supercharger takes as long as a fast food lunch. At a higher market share, every decent hotel will have chargers.

Over 80% of Americans live in urban areas or metropolitan suburbs. Unless you’re doing long road trips away from interstates, EVs are more convenient than gas cars. I never use a charger outside my home except on road trips.

I’m assuming that when the shutdown ends Congress gives everyone back pay and this cash ends up in Trump admin pockets.

Well yeah, it’s the Newsom admin explaining why the freeway was closed (correctly), so that drivers get mad at the appropriate party when they’re stuck in traffic.

OTOH, many people who cancelled recently were likely on annual subscriptions and will only show up as cancelled in the coming months as those expire. My subscription is technically still active until January 2026.

Agree. The outcome of the current shutdown is uncertain, but signs so far point to it having been a solid strategy for “opposing fascism” among the limited options available to the Dems. But who cares about strategy, Schumer gets an F.
