Ethics is complicated, and when one is presented with a choice, it can be tricky to decide which is the lesser of two sets of evils.
I'd argue that it gets easier when one set of evils is a strict superset of the other set of evils, and indeed repeatedly brags that it is such in its brochures.

Schumer absolutely wanted this outcome, despite his “vote.” It’s so obvious that he cherry-picked members who were retiring and/or not up for re-election to “take the hit.” #maddow

MAGA will not work to lower costs...any costs for working Americans. The only thing they are interested in lowering is taxes for the morbidly wealthy.
Democrats squandered leverage for nothing

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just re-upped his endorsement of Chuck Schumer as Senate minority leader, answering the questions "Is he effective?" and "Should he remain leader?" with "Yes and yes."
The thing is, Mr. Jefferies, you're not effective and you shouldn't remain leader either.

Last night, eight Democrats broke ranks and voted with Republicans to end the government shut down.
As a result, a “civil war” is breaking out in the Democratic Party, Jack Blanchard says.

Do not give the democratic party a dime of your money until Schumer is ousted or steps down.
The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Either Jeanne Shaheen is an idiot, or she thinks her constituents are, or both.
But it's important to remember that's she's just taking the fall for the Senate Dem caucus at large. Every Democratic senator is suspect unless and until they publicly call for Schumer's ouster.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

There was a great art to the building of drystone field walls, since, without mortar, every stone needed to be held in place by gravity.
Construction styles varied according to locality and stone type, and some walls could be 100s or even 1,000s of years old (but with periodic repairs).
