After the idiotic cave by these eight self-described “Senate moderate Democrats,” it is about time to ban that phrase. The term for those who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory is “weak Democrats” or “useless Democrats” or simply “defeatists.” open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Even if not pushing for this debacle, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s inability to hold his caucus is proof positive he is the wrong leader for this time.
The eight Neville Chamberlains betrayed the thousands of government workers who have held out, the SNAP beneficiaries who have faced starvation, and the millions of Democrats who supported this fight. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

New in PN: Cue the rebellion
"The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"

Supplemental briefs have been filed in Illinois v Trump. Responding to Court's question about meaning of term "regular forces" in 10 U.S.C. §12406(3), Illinois says, as @martylederman.bsky.social had argued in amicus brief, that it encompasses the regular military while Admin says it doesn't.
