Grimly... funny's the wrong word, but you know what I mean... thing is I still don't think this was some overarching convoluted blackmail scheme or anything like that. These people are all just rich and powerful perverts, and also idiots, and so gravitated to the guy who was happy to cater to them.

One would think if these scabs would look around and see that Schumer if has more grit than you, might be a sign not to defect. But what do i know, I’m just a pleb that wants everyone to have health care.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

Trump canceled a meeting with Democratic leaders and refuses to negotiate in good faith. HE wants a shutdown. Remember: Trump himself said the president is accountable for a shutdown. The blame is his.
