called both my senators today to leave the comment that when the republican administration is threatening a crackdown on dem voters and shrugging off the murder of dem politicians, and the dem leadership is talking about bipartisanship, then i don’t even understand what the party is for

It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

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.

And the idea that republicans who just watched last Tuesday and are facing midterms were going to fully torpedo their potential reelections by never buckling to angry constituents is itself a wild prediction. These are not rock-ribbed iron-spined men and women of principle!

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Every short-term shutdown cave leads to worse long term consequences. Classic ratchet effect.
Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Any deal that relies on Republicans to keep their word is a bad one.
Democrats can’t give up on affordable health care for an empty promise. Minnesotans can’t afford for Democrats to cave.

It is a handicap in politics to be the party that genuinely believes in governance and is broadly opposed to continued suffering of constituents, and yet there is no future for anything but degradation and misery if the Republican Party under Trump cannot be made to suffer consequences for its acts.

Yes. How do Dem electeds not understand this dynamic? After all these years?
At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, he’ll do more and bigger next time.
Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.
