I sympathize with furloughed workers, and the snap situation was going to become untenable, but people are also going to die because of the destruction of the ACA

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

If we get polls in a couple weeks showing the generic ballot swinging back toward the GOP, come back and drag me but I trust the median voter to go “hey my costs keep increasing and the elephant man is in charge of all three branches of government”

Idk what annoys me more, the fact that the Canadian left is once again dropping everything to chase of the coattails of the latest magic yankee, or the fact that Mamdani’s win is being treated as the vindication of the same bloodless ‘positivity’ that’s won the NDP 0 of the last 20 elections.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

To that effect Carney is a blessing in disguise for the NDP (if they can take it)
Because it is so vividly seen how close Carney is to the Conservative Party that when people gets tired of him they can portray themselves as the sole bearer of change.

One reason why the Canadian conservatives don’t win often is because we have to put up with 4 to 8 years of them passing legislation in a scenario where majority rules and it reminds us why we don’t like that actually.
