The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

While we're at it, why do we pay for a fire department when most houses don't even burn down.

What does this mean for Joe Schoen, who hasn't had a great success rate at the top of the draft and let Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney leave in free agency last year? Would argue he's equally or even more culpable for the disappointing seasons since the playoff win.

Oh, well fuck, the last thing these people would ever want to do is "something shameful"

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

A govt shutdown is like a strike in the sense that before you start it you MUST have a concrete idea of what your leverage is and what will cause your opponent to fold. Ironically the Dems' strongest leverage point was probably "fucked up Thanksgiving travel" and they folded just before it came.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

“They promised to hold a meaningless vote on ACA subsidies, and because they took an oath to the Constitution as federal wallet inspectors, I know they will keep that promise.”
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Imagine possessing both the arrogance and incompetence of Dick Durbin.

We understand how the Senate works, dude. That's the fucking problem.
