This is absolutely true. Time to change it.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

If this sellout truly was orchestrated so that retiring/non-2026 senators took the fall for others who wanted this but are up next year (e.g., Ossoff, Warner), there is no way Schumer was not involved. They would need him to pull this off.
Enjoy that 2028 primary, Chuck.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

If these 8-10 Dems cave, every other Dem senator should vote no and Jeffries should whip all House Ds to vote no. DO NOT GIVE THEM COVER. Voters gave them cover on Tuesday and they are throwing it away.

Great summary of this week’s SNAP circus in the courts by the always savvy @stevevladeck.bsky.social. It seems Justice Jackson is doing what she can to make lemonade out a dumpster full of lemons that are on fire and caked in shit.
190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Republicans have been given both legislative and judicial off-ramps to avoid catastrophe today and are doubling down on impoverishing the American people.

USDA says it's working to comply with judge’s order to pay full SNAP benefits
The department's memo to state SNAP directors comes after the Trump administration filed for an emergency stay of the court’s decision.
