If you make them break the glass and pull the alarm, you haven’t achieved what’s on paper but you’ve achieved something. Then the thing ends in their panic, not your sitting on your hands. And there is an instrument for you later.

American's are as consumers, just like they are as voters, a largely post-material people. Just better margins gaming the algos and finding appealing narratives.

I want to be clear I am not speaking from opinion or principle, because we don't do that. It is not our business. Our business is politics, and this is malpractice on the scale of turning left from home plate. The public's standard is low: swing and get knocked down. But you have to keep swinging.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.
I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

Senate Dems gather to watch Bridge on the River Kwai, agree it was a mistake to blow it up at the end. “It was a beautiful structure, and we are, above all, bridge builders. That’s how we want to be remembered. Working with the other party to get things done.”

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

IMO the bad deals don't happen if a dozen other Democratic senators are out there ragging on the cavers by name. Even the handful of progressive senators rarely if ever go there -- the body remains an elitist, anti-democratic institution.
Politico says the cavers have won. CR in exchange for fake vote on ACA subsidies in December. Politico at least says other Dems will give them cover. We’ll see. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Sen. Coons is a no, but this is the kind of enabling cover I'm talking about. If other senators were willing to go on TV and call them out, the cavers would be likely to back off. The level of deference and privilege they extend to one another is actually corrosive.
I understand why some of my Democratic colleagues will support this bill. President Trump and Republicans seem determined to inflict harm on vulnerable Americans not just by making health care less affordable, but also by shutting down SNAP and firing federal employees.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I think in our analysis you trust us to take a position but at least analyze the alternative. In this case there is no alternative. There is no political advantage to this deal. None.
