Funny how it's always the left wing that has to put aside its issues and the moderates who get their way who call for unity.
Doesn't seem like much of a coalition if one subset always has to shut up and sit down

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

The only Dem senators voting to cave on the shutdown fight are either retiring or not up for reelection this cycle.

EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Ron Johnson is really giving Joe McCarthy a run for his money for worst Wisconsin politician of all time
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.
SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.
I think political writers actually should have an opinion about a guy in his 40s having a Nazi tattoo. The decision to keep it on their body may tell us more than their website.
