That said I am lifting up the Senators who I KNOW fought, like my own @vanhollen.senate.gov. We need to press those Senators to demand a different kind of leadership internally. There’s still a lot more work ahead and we need the leadership to be chastened.
I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.
I think that these 8 Senators are falling on the sword for Schumer and other Senators who wanted the shutdown to end. This allows the majority of Senators to save face; and only retiring or not up for reelection Senators take the heat.
It’s a ruse.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Steve Bannon's "third term plan" is that you become so convinced that Trump will cancel and/or rig all future elections that you disengage from democracy, don't volunteer or donate or run for office, and think your vote doesn't matter so why bother. It only works if you let it work.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The reason for this is that this class of people has internalized the idea of conservatives as the American Volk, an idea downstream of the senate and EC giving them more power than their numbers that has somehow become a quasi spiritual belief about the nature of the country

Don’t forget to attend your local #NoKings protest, treat it like you would a hike, come prepared and plan ahead. Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking or standing for long periods. Check the weather before you go and dress accordingly, bringing layers, rain gear, or sunscreen as needed.

Ahead of tomorrow’s “No Kings” protest in D.C., @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social has issued a guide on demonstrators’ rights. Generally MPD does what it can to avoid conflicts or arrests, but there are plenty of federal police agencies in the city with differing experience/tolerance.

Me: "What happens is that everybody looks for somebody else to stand up and to defy the authoritarianism. But once you get enough people doing it, it becomes safe to do it. You become excited about doing it. And that's what I think is going to happen this weekend with the #NoKings rallies."
WATCH: “It seems like the harder that MAGA leans into the authoritarianism, the more people are finding the voice to push back,” says Chris Hayes. George Conway and Invisible's Ezra Levin join to discuss.
