Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Most commentators, including me, concluded that the Tuesday election victory saved Democrats from capitulating to Republican demands to pass a simple continuing resolution to re-open the government, i...

The US spent decades promising people all over the world that they could find peace and freedom in America. So the people came. And now they're being terrorized, tortured, kidnapped, disappeared, enslaved, and murdered by a Fascist State.

May the monsters who chose this never, ever be forgiven.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Agreed. But maybe that signals a new willingness to vote on policy instead of identity, which is what we need.

Not to be Debbie-Downer, but is their any data to indicate that this is different than past midterms where votes always swing the opposite of the party in power? I hope so . . . I want changes of heart, although maybe I expect too much of the knee-jerk electorate.

The question is how much is a normal midterm reversal versus reflective of real change in the hearts of the electorate.
