Feeling spicy might delete but I used to work with Chuck Schumer's eldest daughter, and when she was getting ready to go to Yale Law she was dissatisfied with her financial aid package so she made them do a three way call (at the office) with her and her dad to push for a better package

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

Having this shit break out Sunday night when it's inherently difficult for constituents to contact your office is some real sick shit but the cavers

My guess? Airlines. Friday’s stock dip had them call the special phone that gets votes. With a looming party showdown between progressives and moderates, Schumer wants all the PAC funding he can get.

And caving lets Trump know the Democrats won’t stand and fight. He will be emboldened to do whatever he wants and Democrats will have no leverage to stop him.

I’ve been going without pay for 7 weeks for nothing. This feels like a slap in the face from someone who was supposed to represent me. They used federal workers as pawns and then couldn’t even stick to the leverage that was supposed to gain them? No discipline in these electeds. Primary them all.

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

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?

They’re reopening the government because they saw Trump took a major L on Tuesday and want to help him win.
It’s not much deeper than that.

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.
At this point, it’s clear that the Hamburglar, Dr Evil, and Sideshow Bob are advising Chuck Schumer.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

There's lot of challenged ballots in Seattle. Challenged ballots disproportionately skew younger with over half from people under age 45.

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?
