Jeffries needs to keep this up. This is good messaging. Oz is a clown, who sold his credibility down the river and long time ago, for a few million bucks.

Q: So Dr Oz said that--

JEFFRIES: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr Oz seriously.

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

I don't know when I'll write it up, but among the things Rudy Giuliani got pardoned for is destroying the lives of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

Eight Senate Democrats Just Betrayed the Country: Rep. Ritchie Torres on the Shutdown 'Deal' "This is not mission accomplished — this is mission failure."

The longest shutdown in history looks to be ending with no tangible plan for affordable healthcare—and Senate Dems who caved are the cause of it. @repritchie.bsky.social blasts their disappointing decision.

His full interview.

oh okay

Tim Kaine is on MSNBC accusing Katy Tur of "overdramatizing" the way he and some other Democrats caved. "This is by far a minor-league issue within the Democratic Party," Kaine said.
He's completely out of touch, or just lying.

Today I wrote about the Trump’s latest effort to pardon his election denier henchmen. While we may be focused on the shutdown, Trump continues to subvert democracy and target free and fair elections. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose just this. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I wonder how well @kaine.senate.gov will sleep once his constituents start telling him about family and friends who have DIED because they lost their healthcare coverage. I already know several people who will not be able to pay the new premiums and will lose access to needed medication.

COLLINS: When Trump says grocery prices are down, what numbers is he basing that off given it's not true?

HASSETT: Inflation is down

C: But grocery prices are up

H: Not everything. Egg prices are down. Why haven't you covered egg prices?

C: We certainly have. But grocery prices are up about 1.4%

both parties are more vulnerable right now to a hostile internal takeover than at any time in the past. the problem w dems is theyve convinced people we must defer to their genius leadership and every time they lead us off a cliff.

JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

What they are openly discussing is a planned subversion of the US Constitution, which they clearly despise as anything other than a tool they can use to enforce their own racist and sectarian cruelty.

Democrats Are So Angry, One Senator Faces Blowback From Her Daughter

Ds universally furious at 8 senators who helped broker the shutdown-ending deal without any concessions, as well as at party’s leadership over perception it failed to stop the deal. ...There are calls for political retribution and resignations.... WTF did they expect?

Nikki Haley's son blows up her legacy with shocking call Nalin Haley, son of the ex-UN Ambassador and presidential candidate, sparked controversy in an interview Saturday.

Oh my. Nicki Haley’s son is MAGA anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant who only supported his mother to be a “good son.”

To believe that Chuck Schumer disliked the deal but let enough of his caucus members vote for it to pass, you'd have to disclaim any knowledge of how politics works.
This is a planted story that puts the best light on a bad situation.

This is consistent with what we reported on Saturday, though the framing is (preposterously) positive.
-Schumer was getting regular updates from the Cave Caucus
-He didn't want to be seen as pro-caving but was fine with them negotiating to cave
-Shaheen wouldn't say Schumer was working against her

@sanders.senate.gov: "We have already had 15 Republicans in the Senate defy Trump and say, 'Release the SNAP funds.' So I think that if we had held firm, it would be the Republicans who would yield. That was not the position of these 8 Democrats."

Trump pardons the husband of a Republican congressional ally

Trump has legalized crime if you’re a prominent Republican or married to one.

An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight. They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more. Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

The shutdown is dragging on. But Americans aren’t tiring of Democrats’ demands. | CNN Politics The federal government shutdown became the longest in history on Wednesday. It’s now in its 37th day.

Democrats have been winning the shutdown. Americans are with them. Caving in now is just political suicide.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p...

After the public blamed the GOP and Trump, and after the Dem blowout on Tuesday, Schumer is surrendering and, in the process, the Dems will be blamed for not caving earlier and having the country go through all this.
