Why Does Schumer Keep Trying to Cave? - The American Prospect Most commentators, including me, concluded that the Tuesday election victory saved Democrats from capitulating to Republican demands to pass a simple continuing resolution to re-open the government, i...

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Democratic Socialists =/= Neoliberals. Neoliberals are the LEFT ARM OF THE RIGHT. Democratic Socialists are the RIGHT ARM OF THE LEFT. They are not the same.

@democrats.senate.gov are going to cave to Republicans.

This is why we just will never have a Blue Wave. The Neoliberals would rather people die than stand on principle.

Or feels entitled, because Neoliberals can't think outside their identity bubble.

Also, either I became fluent in German, or Bluesky is having a moment...

I have no sympathies to anyone who woke up to this article and realized they were defrauded of their vote and contributed to the Dem losing by just the right amount of votes.

Do your research.

For the love of little green apples.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

That's the poison of this arm of the Democrats - which I think has far more to do with the fact they never wrapped their heads around losing the majority coming out of the New Deal. It's entitlement, pure and simple.

bingo

That's not how it works ever. You don't get the job and then do the work. You do the work and that gets you the job.

You don't sit on your ass waiting for a majority to be gifted to you before you make the effort. You make the effort, even if it fails, but the effort will bring the majority

OMG STOP TOUCHING IT!!

Pardon while I go hide under my sheets.

Lakota voted yes, so this has to be a bad deal for the American people, no matter what "Chuck Chamberlain" tells us.

I do not trust this, at all.

Typically, what I do is mute the entry that is reposted. That preserves the follow, while muting the reported content. Or I mute context cues.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Karma?

Who is the Maria Delgado of Working Families who literally spoiled the Democrat running for Superintendent?

Again, I get y'all don't like the Establishment options, but y'all have to do research, especially when WFP typically does not run an independent candidate (at least not as I have seen)

But the reason these restrictions are what they are is because my liver is broken and drinking alcohol or eating high Glycemic Index foods is like trying to run a marathon on a broken leg, but your liver is the leg, and the running is processing glycemic foods.

Fortunately, alcohol was never a thing for me - not forbidden, just not important, not ritualized (which is ironic since we used wine in Communion). So I can never had my wine, cheese and grapes snack that has been a goal of mine. But, I have only lost something I never really had, so...

There is a HUGE delta in guidance when you research NASH dietary restrictions and what my GE tells me, with the GE telling me portion control and exercise is most important, and online guidance being DON'T EVEN LOOK AT BREAD, YOU MONSTER!!!

Alcohol I get, though it's a bummer.

The Alpine Inn of Anaheim has bedbugs.

AVOID IT.

My mother wants to gift us a bread maker, and is rather insistent on getting this premium machine. At 80-something, I think this is her way of being "mom." I think hubby may be leery of getting an appliance we won't use, so we need to talk it over.

Yeah, I turned all mine to "warn" so I can see where Bluesky's brain is at - because there is likely perfectly fine skeets that someone got salty about, and now it's being hidden.

I'll decide what I want to see.

Gamer Guys. There was a whole thing where Gamer Guys took the rumor that the WoW writing team had asked her about general writing tips to mean Golden was responsible for BfA and Shadowlands stories. Which wasn't what happened at all.

Gamer Guys share a single, withered, brain cell.

Oh, look. Christie Golden is releasing another WoW book.

Good. Golden received a lot of flack for things she was never responsible for; and Microsoft treated her inexcusably. I am glad to see she's got a new WoW book coming out.

Choke on it, haters.

I am not thanking Pelosi. I remember "don't read it, just vote for it."

It was that arrogance Republicans latched on which drove them to back the GOP at any price. It was that arrogance which fueled the whole "both sides" bullshit.

Pelosi, Schumer et. al. dug the ditch the GOP filled with shit.

I thought it was fishy that Working Families didn't cross endorse - in my neck of the woods, this is really unusual. Working Families doesn't have the people to field a competitive stand-alone candidate where I am.
