Stop saying "eight of them folded"
They picked who would fold.
Maybe not all but most are in on this.

Anything short of calling for Schumer to be replaced is performative outrage designed to mollify you

Eight Senate Democrats saw charts like these and decided "oh yes, now that public opinion is on our side and our opponent is facing electoral consequences for their policy choices, now is a great time to give up all of our leverage in health care negotiations" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)

They got cute and used Senators not up for re-election next year or ones that were retiring for the surrender vote.
So here's the metric we use instead:
If you aren't pushing for a new Democratic leader in the Senate *immediately,* you're out on your ass.

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

We have as much leverage as we’ve ever had — and Chuck Schumer is on the brink of taking a deal that gives Democrats NOTHING.
I’m glad Hakeem Jeffries will fight this in the House, but it should not get that far. Senate Dems must not cave.

Modeled after Alligator Auschwitz and serving as a test case for the criminalization and disappearance of poverty
Caused by the very same government that ended SNAP.

still can't get over what we learned today that the actual story is elon musk just copied enough of wikipedia word-for-word for grokipedia to be useful but rewrote all articles related to him to be more favorable, leaving out facts he doesn't want people to see or talk about
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.
Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia
Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.
