Bracketing that they absolutely failed here. And bracketing that such a failure reflects a dearth of discipline, understanding, and acumen...
They just don't got the juice, man. Absolutely sauceless leadership.

Congrats to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers for winning their *3 year strike*.
It may take a little time, but it turns out it's possible to triumph over those who seek to immiserate the working class, for those with values, determination, and a willingness to not sell each other out.

When you can’t afford health insurance just remember that Sen. Kaine is sleeping well
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

I will eat my shoes if that picture of him and bibi doesn't crop up in primary ads
okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.
