Everyone who had the most at stake by losing the war was ready to fight: Ossoff, Frontline House Dems, THE UNION REPRESENTING FEDERAL WORKERS

Who backed out of the fight? The people with the least to lose, but the most responsibility in waging it. They just know they don't have the juice

This entire fight boils down to:

1) Support a CR which includes massive cuts and provides legitimacy to actions *you* say are unlawful and dangerous

2) Vote no, brace for pain, shine a spotlight on Musk/Trump's destruction and bet on the strength of your argument to win a messaging war

I will be going forward. (Esp. With the non football takes)

As of yday polling was 53/32 blaming Repubs/Trump for a perspective shut down.

At the time it was 2 sides arguing for different CRs, neither willing to compromise.

Now, Dems have allowed to optics to paint Repub CR as the default option, and themselves as belligerent party (even if unfair). Bad!

From a deontological perspective there are certain actions worth taking regardless of political calculations or consequences. Handing Musk unfettered access to gut the govt is one

But Schumer and co. have effectively painted their side into a lose/lose scenario regardless of outcome today

zero percent

Aaaaand TD Dawgs on the next drive 🤡

Heupel is an incredibly cowardly human
