Remember when the Democratic Party party turned on David Hogg for suggesting we should primary the types of senators who would do shit like fold in half at the worst possible time, resulting in millions of Americans getting fucked over a barrel?

similarly if Dems had roundly rejected the war on terror or held its perpetrators accountable, al-Awlaki wouldn’t have been killed. when this is past we need to hold the people trying to knock down the first domino of state violence accountable before it cascades into pogroms

obama extrajudicially murdered Abdulrahman al-Awlaki by drone a decade+ ago to silence except from leftists. now Trump is mass murdering people remotely suspected of connection to drug traffickers by drone. it’s a direct line to me

🚨 Breaking: Any Senate Democrat can trigger a vote on Chuck Schumer’s leadership, according to internal caucus rules shared by The American Prospect. The rule, tucked under “Committee on Conference Rules,” requires a leadership vote within 7 days once invoked.

Charts on inequality are often misleading because they include income that comes from welfare, which mutes the effects.

Here's what wages actually look like as a percentage of national income, adjusted for inflation, minus government transfers

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Saw a clip of Chris Cuomo calling Zohran petty for referencing Mario Cuomo in his speech and it’s pretty interesting about where we are as a country that they had super pacs linking Zohran to 9/11 but still feel totally free to call someone else classless.

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return — not just in words, but in actions.

Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct.

Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah.

Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh.

Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count.

But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

Former US Senator Barbara Boxer turns 85 today. I’m a big fan of how 8 years ago she retired which allowed Kamala Harris to take her seat. That was cool.

I still remember neera tanden going to bat for hillary after 2016 trying to prove that POC voters were choosing hillary over sanders, and then doing it again in 2020 even though you could do a 3 second google search for the charts and prove she was making it up

Nothing new there, remember back to 2019 election where you had Mike Pompeo from the Republicans & Neera Tanden from the Dems telling people in the UK to not vote Corbyn. Regardless of what you think of Corbyn, this was the US exerting its power in British democracy www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Here's the part that gets me on the shutdown: The section prohibiting Trump from firing workers is great! But it wasn't carried through to stop rescissions & withheld funds.
That Democrats knew how to write a No Kings budget, then only passed a tiny section of it to get Tim Kaine's vote, is galling.

Senate Democrats actually know how to use their power to counter Donald Trump and ensure that legislative funding gets spent—but this continuing resolution makes it clear they chose not to.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

This is consistent with what we reported on Saturday, though the framing is (preposterously) positive.
-Schumer was getting regular updates from the Cave Caucus
-He didn't want to be seen as pro-caving but was fine with them negotiating to cave

There's a version of this where he's saying "enrollees aren't even using preventive services that would be free to them" but that's also a failure of government to broadcast that these services are available.

This is the entire thing. They ended up with nothing on their PR point and nothing on the real discussion which was submerged. The way they shut down RIFs showed they understood how to stop the power grab and chose not to.
