Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

“Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon” is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history.
That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame:
Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

This MLB indictment is incredible. It alleges, among many other things, that a star Cleveland pitcher was placing bets *during a game* that a pitch he was about to throw would be a ball, and it would be under 98 mph.

Another time, Clase (the pitcher) was supposed to throw a ball, but the batter swung, so it was a strike. The gamblers lost their bets.

27. Specifically, on or about May 28, 2025, the Cleveland Guardians played
an MLB game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game began at approximately 1: 10 p.m.
Before the game, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Bettor- I sent a text message to the defendant
EMMANUEL CLASE DE LA CRUZ confirming whether CLASE was, "[a]ll set." CLASE
responded, "[y]es." At approximately 3 :36 p.m., in the middle of the game, Bettor- I and
Bettor-2 each placed wagers totaling approximately $4,000 (including a parlay bet) that a pitch
thrown by CLASE would be a Ball/HBP. CLASE threw a pitch that appeared to be a ball, but
the batter swung, resulting in a strike and leading Bettor- I and Bettor-2 to lose their wagers.
28. Approximately 20 minutes after Bettor-I lost the wager on May 28, 2025,
Bettor-I sent a text message to the defendant EMMANUEL CLASE DE LA CRUZ-a .gif

I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
