If Senate Dems don't vote to oust Schumer as leader (or push him internally to resign), the only conclusion left is that all of them wanted this result and were fine letting the moderate folks who won't run for reelection walk the plank. Not holding my breath.

NH has an abysmal bench of Democratic candidates. It's why we have two stuck in the 90s septuagenarian former governors as our candidates. We desperately need new blood.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

Suck a colossal fuck up. Even if the Dems manage to hold the line, now the GOP can run around claiming they had a deal and Dems renegged. This is political malpractice

I get Shaheen since she's retiring (though torpedoing her daughter's congressional run in the cradle is interesting), but Hassan is signing her political death warrant

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.
He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.
Literally resign tonight.

If the non-caving Democratic Senators are really as irate as they anonymously claim to the press, they should call a leadership vote & oust Schumer. Anything less is acquiescence.

If Schumer allows Dems to cave he should resign as minority leader immediately after.

That right wing media echo chamber might actually effectuate GOP downfall by insulating them from the reality of just how unpopular they are.

The whole "we're going to use our levers of power to actively make your life miserable so that you'll blame the party that doesn't have any power" seems like a genuinely psychotic plan and I'm fascinated by the conditions that would make someone think it's a good idea.

In addition to holding the GOP in check, if Dems win back the house/Senate, Altman et al need to be hauled in front of Congress and explain why their company shouldn't be dissolved.
This goes so far beyond creepy.

This election suggests something interesting: the massive local GOP losses says the bad Democratic Party brand is salvageable, *if* the Third Way-style accommodationists are boxed out of leadership. Voters want to fight Trump and will support a pretty wide range of candidates to do it.

The time is now for the wokest motherfuckers in the country to rise up and primary the shit out of any Dem incumbents who won’t get in line with the new mandate. No position should be safe, from school boards to POTUS. Get out of our fucking way.

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.
The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

PHILLIP: Republicans are saying that Chuck Schumer is afraid of you. Is he?
AOC: I don't think so. Sen. Schumer and I have worked together. I think Republicans are afraid of me and they project their fear onto him. So they're just telling on themselves when they say that.

This whole thread. Mamdani's success can be replicated, but it requires those in leadership to recognize and advocate for changes to the status quo that has served them well personally. We need leaders that care more about their constituents than they do about their bank accounts and their status.
I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for certain people to understand that Mamdani is doing so well because he is advocating for more than “keep Trump from taking the few good and/or semi-decent things that remain” and is articulating a real vision for how to make New York better.

My conspiracy theory is that Smith's foot came off home plate but they couldn't overturn it because it would've been too embarrassing to MLB for the World Series to be won on an overturned call.

I'm pretty sure I'm 3 hops from a drug trafficker and I'm a guy that got nervous buying gummies from a place that looks like an apple store in a 100% legal state.
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make
