For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

The political forces that exploit lack of trust in institutions work to undermine institutions, further reducing trust in institutions, which they exploit for more power.

Much of the public blames the institutions, the govt, the elites in general, not the underminers specifically.

Tough problem.
The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)
The story of this administration: fail son meme stock grifter placed into position of power, immediately breaks law and tries to grift even more
The gist of the story is that this is the administration made up of snake oil salesmen from top to bottom
At one point he created an award called twitter philanthropist of the year then awarded to himself, then got someone to write an article about him. www.reddit.com/r/gme_meltdo...

The dude is a giant fail son grifter who until he got this position with this administration, his own family’s charitable foundation had a giant disclaimer on their website distancing themselves from him.
Is anyone going to talk about how Bill Pulte got his notoriety by getting into meme stock conspiracy theories that had people lose their shirts buying Bed Bath and beyond stocks right before their bankruptcy and then taking zero responsibility? finance.yahoo.com/news/bill-pu...

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Good riddance to Nico Harrison, the personification of everything that’s going on. Blew up something good because he didn’t understand it and it didn’t conform to his vision of toughness. One of the clearest pictures of Everyone Is 12 Now ever produced. Untold damage to my psyche. Enjoy podcasting.

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

(the polity does not remember what happened 2 weeks ago. this is why you had VA GOP winning 2021 the same year the GOP attempted a insurrection)
If the polity cannot remember what happened two weeks ago, every two weeks, then they deserve to have the Republic fall
OK, well, that's not going to happen. Most people are going to forget about this in a few weeks and move on to the next thing, in the same way that the GOP base has hated Mitch McConnell for a decade but never actually hurt him.
Oh that's good, man imagine Tim Kaine being the first to release a statement on why he's a yes and having to eat shit when the rest of the cavers flip
Don't they just need 8 (assuming Rand Paul is still a no)? So Fetterman, Kaine (who just released a statement for Yes), King, Hassan, Sheehan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, and one of Rosen, Warner, Hickenlooper etc.

A basic problem with Congress is that I don’t think a lot of these people understand how these programs actually work

if the Democrats are willing to accept this deal, in particular, i don't think a single Senator should make it through their primary. this just makes health inequity worse and lets Trump send out checks with his name on them!
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

Did mod dems senators learn anything from Neville chamberlain?
Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.
If ACA subsidies are not extended the GOP can fuck the right off should be the baseline otherwise what the fuck was the point
God I hope this is just axios wishcasting for a deal and no actual deal on this horseshit proposal

every day brings fresh stress and sadness for people in the US on an H1B.

in my > 10 years of being in this country i’ve never felt so much anxiety and lack of institutional support over immigration issues as in this moment.

To edit: I mixed up different proposals by the allies. Churchill advocated executing top nazi officials without trial, while the soviets at 1 point wanted to execute 50k nazi officers + show trials for the leaders. But the point that the Nuremberg trials was the compromise solution still stands
Yeah I mixed up multiple plans by multiple allies at different times together. That was my bad. Though I guess in my (very faint) defense the gist that the Nuremberg trials was the compromise solution still stands
