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.

Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

its funny because the people who actually whipped votes here were shaheen, hassan, and king… not the minority leader. i think schumer did what he normally does - once the votes were there, he joined the defectors to negotiate the best outcome for his caucus (protecting the people up for election)
I think Schumer basically got rolled by Shaheen, Hassan, and King which is profoundly embarrassing
idk which possibility is more damning for Schumer
either
A) he helped orchestrate the fold
OR
B) he genuinely opposed the fold but was so incompetent that he was unable to stop the splinter group from folding

not to mention that their credibility with republicans is permanently shot.
It would have been better to simply cave on day one than do this. how can you ask anyone to suffer through a shutdown ever again, if you can deliver *nothing*?

The complete lack of interest in slightly covering up the fact that this was a top-down decision to make 8 people who won't be up soon the villains is genuinely insulting. They think we are morons
KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership?
SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

Funniest thing about the shutdown arc is the Democratic strategy made no sense, but was totally working thanks to the tireless efforts of Donald J Trump.

[whispers] it's legal to sign up with both Indivisible and DSA. you don't even have to decide who you're doing entryism on until later.
Alternatively if that's not your cup of tea and you're more center left or whatnot like go sign up with Indivisible or some local group or whatever

there was an incredibly stark change at my job between 2023 and 2025. just absolutely day and night.
i dont think there’s ever been a point where corporate america has had a sincere sense of morality but it is probably a sign of the times that the culture at most major firms does not even pretend to encourage ethical behavior anymore. the transformation is really stark in tech.
i honestly do not know what major company in america isnt involved in some ghastly shit at this point? i just would not *do* the ghastly shit yourself.

are we shaming people for having worked for companies that did ghastly shit elsewhere but far away organizationally because I'll be the first to say I ran a poop plant for a company that was/is major defense contractor and I'm pretty sure was involved with NEOM and *am* sure works with the UAE
