Unfortunately, Senator, “fighting” to you is running your mouth. How about running a campaign? Undermining 40 of your colleagues and the vast majority of your most loyal base hardly seems like the way achieve that.

Sure, let’s not score a win for the American people. Instead let’s score some political points for Democrats that don’t matter in people’s lives. That’s worked out so well, right? Right!!???

Telling us he doesn’t understand the ACA regulation of medical loss ratios that requires at least 80% of aggregate premiums be paid out in aggregate claims.

These Senators believe they’re doing the right wing. The story will soon be that their Dem colleagues are secretly thanking them. This betrayal was led by Schumer. It’s a mindset; not a bad faith decision to sell-out. The Dem Senate is more Manchin than Warren. We have a tough road ahead.

Understand who Tim Kaine is. He voted to confirm Kristi Noem and Scott Bessent. He voted to weaken Dodd Frank. This latest vote is no surprise. He’s an ineffectual weakass joke. He’s never been a fighter for the people. And don’t get me started on Durbin.

Schumer brokered the entire deal and is voting no to cover his ass. He’s no leader, he’s a corporatist coward.

The Democratic caucus in the Senate must immediately remove Schumer and Durbin from leadership. They have no credibility and it will mitigate the political fallout with voters who believe the Dems need to fight.

Right you are Spence. Some folks have gotten caught up in the the “enemy of my enemy…” frame. The Cheneys: Dick, Liz, and Dick’s wife Lynn are not good ppl. Full stop. I’m not here to dance on a grave, but the historical record matters. Thanks.

Another consequence of Trump dismantling worker protections. There is no functioning NLRB to protect workers from unlawful retaliation.

Yes. That’s obviously true. But Sherrill actually received slightly less votes (as a percentage) than either Hillary or Biden received in 2016 & 2020. NJ Dems came home. VA is a different story. Don’t conflate them.

Bishops With Ties to Trump Commission Criticize Treatment of Immigrants

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u... these bishops are shameful. Unlike the Pope, who called for the liberty of religion for all detainees, regardless of faith, these hypocritical political tools ask only that Catholics be afforded basic rights.

At the polls in VA today a GOP operative asked me to take his sample ballot. I replied, “in a choice between one party that wants to feed hungry kids and the other that wants to put some kids in handcuffs, I’ll go with the party that wants to feed the kids.”

O’Donnell could have followed up by saying that going back to 2016 Trump promised a health care plan “much better” than Obamacare, how it would be”easy” and yet we have never seen anything from him 9 years later. But that would be real journalism, not something a lightweight like O’Donnell practices

Happy Halloween

The House passed CR funded the government through Nov 21. If the Dems in the Senate pass it on November 20, would federal workers, military, and SNAP be paid through November with feds and military getting back pay to Oct 1? The government would shut down again on Nov 22 unless a deal is reached.

Not here to defend Licht (who earned his termination) but Weiss is to Licht what Bezos is to Don Graham. One has a reasonably long career in journalism, the other is a dilettante who makes money in non journalistic enterprises. Sally knows this, so why the performative contrarianism?

Minority view that may piss u off: the 1987economy is not the 2025 economy. Reagan was wrong: targeted tariffs made sense 40 yrs ago. Let’s not be so desperate that we laud Reagan and his flawed policies (that caused pain) because what he did in a different context supports our view 4 decades later

Maher said the quiet part out loud. A white, privileged son of a governor is “normal” despite being a serial sexual abuser, liar, and bully. In what world is an arrogant misogynistic fuck like Cuomo “normal.” If Cuomo was Black, much less Muslim, I have little doubt how quickly he’d be dismissed.

OMG. I laughed out loud when I saw that twit’s face.

Trump is lying about the $130 million donation
to pay the troops. Of course, when his lips are moving, it’s a dead giveaway he’s lying. Oh, and because there are 1.3 million active duty military, the “donation” is only $100 per person. Trump is not even good at lying, despite all the practice.

Justice Department Will Monitor Elections in California and New Jersey

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u... this is a provocation with no substance. Trump wants a reaction to create a “what are they hiding” vibe. Ignore this & it goes away. Anyone can “monitor” an election. So what? I’m going to “monitor” the Dodgers vs. Blue Jays. It doesn’t mean I’m playing shortstop.

There really ought to be more national attention and outrage about Johnston. He’s a bad guy, anti-worker, and should not be Mayor of a progressive city like Denver

How do I know if I’m a lowlife? Please dear leader, tell us what characteristics are indicative of being a lowlife. You have unique expertise because it takes one to know one.

Sorry just saw your previous ost which answers all. Good for you and Moldea.

Help me. Are you talking about Moldea the somewhat prominent investigative journalist? Or a player (w whom I’m unfamiliar) who got sucked in? I’m interested, educate me.

Please, Gov Pritzker, say the quiet part out loud. ICE officers have been told they won’t be held accountable. They did not behave this way last year. They weren’t ramming cars, zip tying kids, barging down doors, being aggressively violent to random ppl on the street last year. Something changed…

The $40 billion Trump is giving Argentina is enough to extend health care subsidies for one year and end the shutdown. Trump= corruption (not America) first.

Familiar with Rick Kuhn - where does Moldea fit in. Did he write something on this?

In a corrupt society, corruption is accepted and dismissed as hand wringing. That’s who we are right now. It starts in the Oval Office and it doesn’t stop in nba locker rooms.
