the problem is that we understand perfectly well how the senate works and it just doesn't

Caving is bad enough. Caving and calling it a win is so much worse.

As a federal employee who has gone without a paycheck he can fuck all the way off. This was all for nothing

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

The Attorney General, acting through the Pardon Attorney, shall administer and effectuate the issuance of certificates of pardon to eligible applicants. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of November, in the year of our lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”

Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

I see people are pushing DSA recruiting in the wake of the New York election and, like, please check out where your local chapter is on housing. They vary a lot, some are great, but some might as well be called “landlords against competition.” I have no idea if SF has turned around but I doubt it.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Our amendment doesn’t cut those things.

Mayor Wilson could’ve called me to clarify and ask questions before blasting us in a newsletter, but of course he has to find a scapegoat when he doesn’t magically end homelessness on 12/1 by warehousing people.

Looking forward to clarifying this tomorrow.

Chuck Schumer you are currently being obliterated by "Fox Trot"

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.

They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.

Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

Healthcare is a human right.

Democratic Senators should fight for it like lives depend on it because they do.

Any D running for Senate in 2026 must vow to oust Schumer as leader. Maybe he would quit

All of this is downstream from a theory of politics that dominates this country which says that only Democrats have agency

It was only Trump’s illegal withholding of appropriated funds that made SNAP a bargaining chip in this fight, at least this month.

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

Critizing corporate Dems who play Vichy isn't "creating a circular firing squad". I will ally with just about anyone fighting fascism. This behavior tonight was a capitulation. It aids the fascists. We should be outspoken in our condemnation of this vote.

Here we go. Let's get this ball rolling.

we have to, you see, to stop the Republicans. abuse begets abuse.

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

Remember that any reporting that acts like November SNAP funding was at stake in the shutdown is legitimizing Trump’s illegal withholding of appropriated funds for SNAP in order to use it as a bargaining chip.

they love fighting next time

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end

Then why’d you cave?

Really seeing once again, it seems, that the real divide in the Democratic coalition is not left/lib/moderate or anything like that.

It's the fight/no-fight divide. And the 'fight' dems are the ones winning elections.
