Look, *every* Dem didn't vote to capitualte, but those not up for reelection or who were sworn in last year did. Does that mean my two senators suck?
No, it means one of them sucks for voting for a bunch of nominees.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

This has to be the demand - not just a unfocused "fuck the cavers", but a focused demand to replace Schumer with someone who has already proven up to the moment. I will be making regular calls to have Schiff and Padilla demand this, and the more of us that do the more real it could be.

If Trump openly supports it you can also forget the "the House won't vote for it anyway!" theory - Johnson and the House will pass whatever they're told to
If you need confirmation Senate Democrats are fucking this whole thing up here you go. Excellent way to destroy the enthusiasm with huge Dem wins throughout the country up and down the ballot that were not even one week ago.

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.

It doesn't help that they're deporting a large segment of the home building workforce.
They’ll do everything to make homebuilding, affordability, and economy significantly worse off with gimmicks instead of taking actions that soundly get America building again to drive down price inflation and get people housed.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

This local guy, I wouldn't call him friend but still, said to me last year that Lee Greenwood should play the Super Bowl instead of Kendrick. I just looked right at him and said "name three Lee Greenwood songs." He could name one, and it was the one you can name too.
The thing about right-wing cultural / entertainment / art is that it is so awful that even right-wingers don't really want to pay to see it. They want it to exist in a nebulous "own the libz" way; they want Lee Greenwood to be on the bill but even they won't pay to sit through Lee Greenwood.
EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic.
