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

It's so cool that sitting US senators can talk about how they want all Palestinians to be murdered and vote to do it and if you post about throwing a tomato at them the Feds show up at your door because that's apparently a threat but trying to do a genocide isn't
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

A reminder that according to Fetterman's own former staffers, Fetterman had a meeting with J-Street president Jeremy Ben Ami in which he told Ben Ami that he believes Arabs are like a "carton of sour milk" and that we should get back to killing.
"Kill them all" Fetterman is reported as having said.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Super encouraging that there were a bunch of Democrats who had to be talked out of capitulating *before* the election that delivered historic Dem victories.
This party is composed of people who were in Model UN but weren’t even good at it.

This article is probably true. It doesn't say he privately fought to extend the government shutdown beyond Sunday.
"...he was privately cajoling a group of moderates not to fold before November."
That's in line with reporting that said Dems wanted to get to election day, Nov. 4, before folding.

liberals and conservatives alike talk about defunding the police and decarceration as if these are extreme, radical, unthinkable ideas— but truly what is more extreme, radical, and unthinkable than what's happening *right now* in our police state.
This week on Reveal: A ‘Goon Squad’ of sheriff’s deputies roamed Rankin County, Mississippi, beating and choking people until they confessed to drug crimes.
Signs of the violence went ignored for years.

The problem isn't that they caved for a promised vote; the problem is that the vote will be a meaningless gesture impressing no one but Senate Democrats.
It will fail. ACA beneficiaries will suffer considerably as a result and there will be no consequences of any kind for Republicans.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

“We have to keep voting for conservative Dems who give the Republicans everything they want, because if we don’t the Republicans will win and get everything they want. I am very smart.”
The alternative is Republicans. How do you think they would have voted? We can only vote for whoever makes it through the primaries and after that it's Democrat or Republican. There really is no viable alternative. Third parties don't have the numbers with our plurality voting system.

What did you think they would do to you after you told them genocide was okay?
You watched them sponsor the terror and slaughter of the people of Gaza. You saw it livestreamed on your phone.
You saw children carrying their siblings' body parts in bags.
And you sent them donations and endorsed them.

It’s not just these specific Dem senators. This has the reek of a plot by Chuck Schumer – since none of the Dem senators voting for the deal are up for reelection the implication is that the NO votes are purely performative.
