so much is downstream of the problem that the Democratic Party does not, as such, exist
Leaving aside the (bad) merits of the decision, it's clear that Schumer and Jeffries did not gameplan this situation in advance or do any work to coordinate a plan to other elected Dems, much less to Dem voters.

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

the Democratic party leadership has been working under the delusion that anyone demanding they fight must also be an ideological leftist, easily ignored as such
I think today may finally disabuse them of that notion -- a whole lot of mainstream libs and even centrists are clearly mad as hell

folks on here have made the point that the impulse to fight vs accomodate is basically orthogonal to the left/centrism axis in the democratic party. there are plenty of people in the left/fight quadrant and plenty in both centrist/fight and centrist/accomodate. is there anyone in left/accomodate?

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

But wait a second, aren't Trump and Musk already shutting down government agencies selectively, which is what Schumer says he wants to avoid?
Hmm. Maybe this argument is not very cogent.

In case you are confused by recent events this may help clarify a few things.
"Material acquisition is not the goal of the criminal elite, and debt is not a problem. A lifestyle of total impunity, powered by fraud and threat, is the goal. Raw power is not measured in money but by how little you need it. Money is beneath you when you live above the law."

In 1923 the state of Mississippi adopted a textbook called "The Klan" which said that “the best citizens of our country” joined the Klan because they were motivated by “love and protection of the home.”

I think a unified Senate Democratic caucus going to war on Trump and Musk over the power of the purse with shared messaging and clear emotional stories of why they're doing it would be very powerful and would undercut the "you're the minority shutting down the government" counter message

Malhuret comes from the centre-right in France. This is part of a trend we're seeing across Europe and Canada. Centre-right politicians and media are not merely abandoning Trump as a phony ideological ally, but are now strongly denouncing him as the malign tyrant of a former ally turned rogue state.
