So either Schumer agreed to fold like a lawn chair and is using these spineless chumps as cover or he is incapable of enforcing meaningful cohesion and discipline among Dems when they have everything to gain from being united. Either way it means he is unfit leadership for this moment.

Most people never have a house fire. So why are we wasting money on a fire department?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

I think the USAID cuts and anti-vaccine stuff gives Trump a higher body count, but the Bush guys internalized the idea that right wing media could insulate them from normal electoral accountability and the second Trump term is directly downstream from that.
This NYT Obit of VP Cheney mentions something that seems impossible in retrospect: That he and GWB were re-elected *after* it was proved there were no WMDs in Iraq.

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout
The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

Very bad news. Teen Vogue was doing work other journalists were not.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

So,additional thought on this: "Using grammar and the rules of language accurately clearly shows you didn't write it" is an undercurrent of these accusations and that is... very telling about the state of writing comprehension these days.
