CanMace or Bobo remove their names from the Discharge Petiton?
NO.

Members may add or remove their names until a petition has obtained 218 signatures. If a discharge petition reaches this thresholdβ€”a majority of the House's 435 Membersβ€”the list of names is frozen

Mike "Little" Johnson is facing a revolt of over 100 of his caucus switching to yes votes on the discharge petition. The dam broke. No reason to fight it. He is rumored to be bringing the Epstein files vote to the floor.

ICE Detention and Surveillance Translate Into Hundreds of Millions for Companies β€œWe've never seen anything like this before,” Geo Group founder George Zoley said.

Palantir received $51 million from ICE for tracking software.

Meanwhile, the company donated to Trump’s $300 million White House ballroom project and its CEO personally donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration committee.

β€œOn this Veterans Day, I share this post with tears in my eyes as I reflect on my service to our nation and honor my fellow military members. In some pics I’m fighting for my country overseas. In others, I’m fighting for my life at the hands of the citizens I sought to protect in my own country.”

According to data maintained by the Veteran’s Administration, 1.3 million U. S. military personnel have died in all wars starting in 1775 with almost 4 million wounded. There are @ 18 million veterans alive today.

Instead of just saying, β€œThanks for your service”, lets SHOW THEM why they did it

It’s no coincidence that none of the 8 Dems who caved are seeking re-election. They were picked by the party for that reason. So it is the party that caved.

Party leadership is incapable of learning that voters want them to fight and are to spineless to do it anyways. History will write that what damage the Republicans were unable to wreck the Dems finished for them. No, this can’t be fixed. Must be burned down and rebuilt on the ashes.

Okay. Well, how do you feel about this?

He's incapable of stepping up to the plate in the manner we need. Defending Schumer at this juncture makes that clear.

7. The only path to a real opposition party is through a cleansing primary season.
We have spent a year now trying to convince the Democratic Party to unify and fight back. It started as a lonely fight shortly after the election, but our numbers grew. We’ve seen some Democrats lead from the beginning, some come around, and some do their best to at least perform resistance. There’s been real progress -- in large part because of our collective work.

But at some point, you gotta either change your leaders’ minds or you gotta change your leaders. And the time for changing minds is over.

After this week, we should expect more fecklessness unless we demand a change. You don’t demand that change in a general election -- you do it in primaries. And conveniently, primaries are right around the corner.

This all leads to one big announcement. Today, Indivisible is launching the largest Democratic primary program we’ve ever run.

This isn’t about left vs right. This is about fighting back vs losing. The regime’s threats are too real and the stakes are too high to settle for the feckless, loser version of the Democratic Party we saw this week. As we head into the midterms next year, we need a Democratic Party that inspires and instills pride. In this moment when the fascists are on the march, we need a Democratic Party with a spine.

Our primary program will include both the House and Senate. We will work with Indivisible groups to identify key races, provide support on the ground, and tap into movement energy across the country to boost candidates with a spine. One thing we can say for sure: We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Majority Leader.

And after the primary, whatever happens, we will rally behind the winner, and crush the regime electorally in the midterms just like we did this last week.

Well done, dipshits. You've managed to take an absolute blue wave of elections, a mandate, and piss it away in less than a week.

AND, in ANOTHER win for donald trump: since eight Dems voting for it ends the shutdown it helps him "prove" that Dems were the ones controlling the shutdown.

Well done.πŸ‘

After a 40-day shutdown over healthcare premiums increasing, 8 Democrats broke ranks to end it.

What they got in exchange? A dedicated Senate vote on raising premiums that Republicans will obviously win.

So, the shutdown was pointless. Democrats just won on Tuesday and still found a way to lose

Here’s my take on the Dems caving after all this. In the end, blue state constituents will remember the Dems as the ones who took away there social support and safety nets. I hate to admit it but Trump is smarter, a better fighter and part of an organized mob. Dems aren’t up to this fight!
