seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

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.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

If you are a Senate Democrat and you just watched your party base crush election night and put 7 million people in the streets for No Kings and your response in this moment is to cave in on the shutdown, you should immediately resign. Just get out of the way.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

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.

reagan was just as bad as trump
He was a Regan follower, not MAGA. IMHO it would be interesting if his kids were MAGA. Shows would be him coming to terms with his parties ideology crumbling, and having to deal with that at home. Also dealing with parents in their twilight, realizing their beliefs are what he’s fighting for now.

marc andreesen's incomprehensible wealth is entirely attributable to the fact that he was working at a state university who provided him with the resources to be one of the lucky lottery winners who cashed in riding the wave of the computing revolution
one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it
