Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

So the Senate Democratic traitors' message tonight is "The Republicans own this now!" Um, the Republicans ALWAYS OWNED THIS! And judging by last week's election, voters clearly know it! I am just so angry at how out of touch our leadership is. Hiding behind retiring senators.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

Eliminating Obamacare and Food Aid was in Project 2025 and the stupid bill.
The GOP were already going to do this without Democrats.

This is the result that really makes me think the rank and file are going to resist Trump doubling down. Massive shifts to Democrats all across Virginia.
State Republicans toying with gerrymandering are going to hit the brakes thinking about what a similar shift would mean to their own seats.

Democrats not only kept control of the NJ governor's mansion for three terms in a row -- something that hasn't happened since the 1960s -- but went from winning by 3 points last time to winning by *13*

Gotta imagine that AG Sulzberger has been seething at these results for hours now
This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy"

I continue to believe that the Trump *campaign* successfully convinced quite a lot of people that mass deportations did not mean mass deportations; that it meant targeted enforcement against “the bad guys.”
The problem for the Trump *administration* is that no one believes that anymore.

More broadly, heavily-Latino counties moved far to the right in NJ last year, and back to the left this year:
