Bran Lander will win the primary against Schumer by 10 points

What democrats are about to say to the country is “this entire shutdown was pointless”

A screenshot of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter). At the top is a profile with a circular headshot of a young man and the name “Nicholas J. Fuentes (@NickJFuentes)”. His post reads: > “You can’t debate about Israel because Ben Shapiro is your boss and he signs your paychecks. You can keep deflecting by attacking brown Muslims, but never forget that you are worse because you are a White Christian and you provide cover for Zionist Jews who hate your people.” Below that is an embedded reply from Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) with a blue verification check. His post begins: > “Wow this guy seems upset. But why would I debate Israel’s influence on American politics? I don’t think any foreign government should have any influence over our country. He wants me to defend a position I don’t even hold because he’s too chickenshit to debate the areas…” At the bottom of the screenshot is a timestamp: “5:00 PM · Nov 9, 2025 · 775.6K Views.”

Watching Matt Walsh get eaten alive by the Nazi wing of the Republican party is something else.

I can’t imagine how furious the people who patiently suffered through this shutdown must be—hoping the Democrats would actually save these health care subsidies.

So after all of this, the Dems got a deal that is just a promise of a vote on ACA subsidies in December that isn't guaranteed to pass. Absolute chickenshit stuff from senate Democrats. They couldn't even get the thing they were asking for.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

'Don't let this all be for nothing': Observers blast reported government shutdown deal Political analysts and observers denounced a deal that some Democrats are reportedly supporting to end the government shutdown ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Political analysts and observers denounced a deal that some Democrats are reportedly supporting to end the government shutdown ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Exactly.

Someone just asked me "but is political gain (vs Trump) worth seismic political risk?"

Allowing Trump to function as a lawless dictator without any pushback from Congress IS the seismic political risk here.

Perhaps a better idea would have been to write to the senators and ask them to write thank you letters to all the people who are starving because of their choices and assure them its going to be worth it for a bigger payoff at the end.

so much suffering and sacrifice only to to agree to terms that will beget more suffering and sacrifice.

This, from Tim Kaine is HILARIOUS:

Every donation ask from the Senate Dems henceforth needs to be met with FUCK YOU BITCHES

I will simply not vote for a Democratic incumbent going forward. This party makes the Vichy government look like paragons of courage.

Honestly it doesn't even matter if the Dems win the 2026 midterms. They'll just give Trump what he wants anyways...

We’re all fucked.

Schumer on CNN months ago saying that Dems had sent Trump a "very strong letter" asking "eight very strong questions"

You're telling me this guy -- Chuck "Rawhide" Schumer, the o.g. badass, the man who never met a bareknuckle brawl he didn't like, the meanest, toughest son of a bitch in U.S. Senate history -- *this guy* might cave to Republicans without getting a good deal? I'll believe it when I see it!

Trump is like a toddler: time he spends asleep is to be prized, not resented. Every minute he sleeps is a minute he is not tantruming or breaking things or smearing his own shit on things.

Stupid fuckin party

MATT YGLESIAS GOT IT?!

MATT?!

...oh this hurts. Yeah this is a real low point.

Any Senate Democrats who vote to cave are feckless, weak-willed and gullible — or even worse. The American people want you to hold the line and keep on fighting.

DO NOT FOLD!!!

Look, it's simple, the Dems help end the shutdown and in return we'll get a handful of beans that Sen. Thune assured me are magic.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Not sure what happened to the original but here's a different reporter's summary

bsky.app/profile/burg...

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

Dems should be all over THIS, not caving on a shutdown and healthcare premiums on which the publicly currently clearly blame Trump and the GOP for.
