Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Moderate Democrats saw that voters were energized and might expect something from them, so they needed to put a stop to that ASAP

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Other states need to begin intentional punishment of the hostile Texas government, including cancelling state government contracts with Texas companies and interfering with their commerce such as by imposing onerous Texas-company-specific certifications and licensing.
This is both true and also we need to note how eager Texas has shown itself to be to send its own NG into blue states to try and forcibly occupy them. The Texas GOP is a source of evil in this country snd the next Dem administration needs to go about breaking them as an R power center.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I want to see a whole new class of Democrats willing to ram the most progressive agenda through the next time they’re even technically in a place to do it.
I want elected progressives who obstruct this administration period. No compromises. No bailing out Republicans. Just sand in the gears.

These Democrats Seem To Understand The Situation
Americans now live under competitive authoritarianism. Only a handful of elected Democrats are acting accordingly.
