Me: FFS, Climate Change is not a belief system, it's Science, which so few of you apparently understand.
Turn the damn cartoons off of PBS and start teaching Science again to pre-schooler minds.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

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)

It’s not Chuck’s vote That’s the failure. It’s more important than that: it’s his failure of leadership his complete failure of leadership. This is his party. He fucked us up from the start. We lost huge tonight.

Because, like voting for a sexual predator might kinda look bad after forcing Al Franken out of the Senate for posing as one in an old photo.
I'm hearing that chuck schumer agreed to the GOP plan after they promised not to put in the newspaper that he voted for Cuomo

Mitch McConnell is actively decaying before our eyes, he’s a husk, and he still has more backbone and political savvy than Chuck Schumer
Mitch McConnel's singular political insight is that Presidents get punished for Congressional obstinancy and he used that insight to get the Right an unbreakable majority on the Supreme Court, so of course Chuck Schumer's iteration on it is to proactively let democrats take blame after tangible harm

Breaking News: The Senate has enough votes to reach a minibus deal. A CR through January 30th.

FORTY days for absolutely nothing, but capitulation from Democrats, as usual.

Your services are no longer needed, Chuck Schumer.

Please close the door on your way out.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, just emerged from the closed-door meeting and said: “I’m voting no.”

Asked to explain his position, Schumer tersely said the American people “need healthcare.”

Senate Democrats are about to sell us out.

Remember that when they text you for money.
“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.
