Even the senators who are retiring and think they won't have to face the wrath of furious Democratic voters should know that their last name is about to become so toxic that not even a goddamn nonprofit is going to want you on the board.
I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting.

Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Chicago joins Columbia as the second American research university with global reach in recent months to voluntarily surrender its world-leading status
Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

We've noticed that the propaganda the administration is pushing out through DOL social media is becoming increasingly Nazi-fied.

First, we want to remind you that two of our new appointees, Jessico Bowman & EJ Antoni, seem to be Nazi sympathizers if not actual Nazis. (Warning: hate speech ahead) 🧵

Wyoming’s new reform mirrors a law Kansas adopted in 2011 to require proof of citizenship. That law was struck down in 2018, but in the interim, Kansas blocked roughly 30,000 citizens from registering to vote because they lacked the proper paperwork.
