Move On is data mining and hardly an objective source.
Unless you were in a coma last week, Dems won big.
The DSA win is still a win, but if that’s how well you do in NYC?

For reasons unknown, you needed to live at least a mile “as a crow flies” to take the bus that had a stop a few yards away.

I don’t know where you got that figure, but why would you think politicians who work closely with their colleagues aren’t in a position to elect leadership?
Some popular ones are more of a solo act, some others build strong relationships, and they all have different strengths.

I don’t think it was. Maybe a wake up call, and not only for Republicans.

That’s a deal breaker.

Yes and no. It doesn’t function as envisioned, and it’s been a while since Congress fulfilled its only real obligation.
We won’t end up with a budget, but there’s a lot to discuss before the nearly inevitable 11th hour CR/reconciliation.
Not an ideal way to function, but we manage.

Not without anything, but not without addressing key issues like the ACA. Forcing the House to reopen gives us time before the usual 11th hr. drama.
Republicans had a wake up call last Tuesday. DSA “progressives” should have had one, too. Leadership and negotiators have a lot to discuss privately.

Probably not today, but I imagine Congressional leadership and negotiators have a lot to talk about before 12/31.

Temporarily, yes, but that was a Congressional appropriation. The underlying issue is what constitutes Executive Overreach.
Don’t think that immunity resolved that one. Neither does Youngstown with its five concurrences and three justice dissent.
I don’t think SCOTUS wants to touch it.

He’d appeal, but I don’t think four justices want to take the case.
You nailed it. Rs are willing to break with him, and forcing the House to reconvene is where they might break ranks after enough posturing.
The annual 11th hour CR/reconciliation goes down to the wire so nothing’s final.
