There’s the obvious hypothetical question of could someone else lead the caucus and force Republicans to make a better deal? Idk if Rs were going to budge in any scenario

But also isn’t this just a deal that lasts through January? This is not the end of this fight

If the intent is to get people to blame Dems it’s decidedly not working when the admin is loudly doing these moves themselves and also Trump is raining about how Rs could end this shutdown any day now by getting rid of the filibuster

Is this is first time we’ve seen the switch 2 version of a game exceed the PS5 version?
November 7, 2025 at 9:46 PM
The whole point is to make the Dems seem reasonable and the Rs reject what was seemingly a reasonable offer, making them own the shutdown even more.

Hilarious that he thinks if he yells AFFORDABILITY IS SOLVED loud enough that it will work

16% of new players (who didn’t have a switch 1) is not a bad number considering how many switch 1 players are out there.

People expect for these things to happen at the speed of posting and that’s just not how this works. It takes a minute for these things to fully penetrate

But also if there’s one thing these justices can’t stand even more it’s unchecked emergency powers to dramatically increase taxes at will.

Most of them are at minimum very interesting but also very flawed human beings
November 7, 2025 at 12:35 AM
If anything it’s just motivating for Dems. “You mean if we win we can prosecute the fuck out of these assholes?! Sign me the fuck up!”

They basically said as much in their report that as long as the financials make sense they’ll keep manufacturing units for now. Switch 1 will be manufactured through 2026. Whether it goes beyond that will depend on how it sells next year

Whether it gets there really depends on how long Nintendo wants to keep manufacturing units.

They also highlighted Mafia The Old Country as being a modest success for them. Sounds like the reduced scope and costs worked out for that project

Trump has a bad habit of basically adopting the position of someone who can roll him in the meeting. This is how he ping pongs back and forth on Russia. It’s literally because he just met with either Zelenskyy or Putin

It is always Murcs Law: Democrats are the only ones in American politics with agency.

People keep bringing up the French Revolution as this cool thing deposing the monarchy, glossing over the fact that before and after killing the monarch was massive waves of terror and violence that killed a lot of regular people and massively disrupted normal life.

They have and will continue to be extremely conservative with acquisitions. They might do the occasional buy but it’s not their MO to do this and I don’t expect that to change
November 6, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Dems learned that the hard way last year. Now it’s Republican’s turn in the barrel
November 6, 2025 at 4:00 PM
The campaign ads basically write themselves. Dem ad makers can’t believe how easy their job will be for 2026
November 6, 2025 at 3:54 PM
Older millennials experienced going from Bush II to Obama and saw how Trump blew up everything that came before. Out of all the group I’ve found older millennials to be the most consistently anti Trump.

Schumner for all the issues surrounding him appears to be doing a decent job managing the Dem caucus during this shutdown.
November 6, 2025 at 1:15 AM
I take it as, Republicans might have an offer ready to present to Democrats and they will have to decide if what Republicans are offering is enough.

We’re in the early phase of deal making if this report is at all accurate

This is the same guy who thinks stealth fighter planes literally turn invisible
