That's a little misleading. The $2.04 billion was the gross payout if you took the annuity. The cash option he took was $997.6 million.

I think it was kayfabe.

100% bet it came from leadership with how it went down/who voted for it. The reason they caved is my speculation. Also cynically could think they held out for the election so they didn't demotivate the base.

This came from leadership. They were assigned to fall on their swords. There's a reason they are all retiring or off cycle.

Leadership lost the will to fight under pressure from the airline lobby, donors who were affected by delays, and their own travel trouble.

When are you calling for new leadership or resigning so walz can appoint someone who will?
November 10, 2025 at 5:35 PM
By fighting you mean putting on a show to just cave once the base turned out on Tuesday.
November 10, 2025 at 11:40 AM
Complete kayfabe. 8 retiring and off cycle means it was an arranged vote. Leadership failed and the caucus as a whole is suspect.

He's either a conniving quisling or completely spineless and incompetent.
November 10, 2025 at 5:12 AM
Im disappointed. I come here for fake news not the real thing.
November 10, 2025 at 5:10 AM
And you caved without getting them sh!t. You either organized it or let it happen. Conniving quisling or spineless coward, which is it?
November 10, 2025 at 4:51 AM
Or they and the rich donor class got inconvenienced.
November 10, 2025 at 3:55 AM
Arranged falling on swords? Would give real money for a run down in what happened in the caucus meeting.

Schumer either connivingly allowed it to happen or is completely spineless in not holding party support/DSCC funding over their heads.
November 10, 2025 at 3:51 AM
Also that's given Schumer max credit here, which he probably doesn't deserve. Instead of spinless he might have been conniving.
November 10, 2025 at 3:43 AM
They and the rich donors had to deal with airport delays. So they caved for a pinky promise. Schumer is spineless. Should have said he'd pull DSSC funding.

Everything includes denying unanimous consent and staging a speaking filibuster. Sounds like everything but the things that could make a difference

When are you voting for new Minorty leader who is capable of leading and whipping votes?
November 10, 2025 at 2:02 AM
Find a new senate leader who can whip votes.

I really want to know what was going on with the false starts. If players were forgetting the play/snap counts, communication wasn't good, or just a ton of mental errors.

McCarthy did plenty bad, but it also sucks that he made some nice plays that Jefferson didn't haul in, when he normally does.
November 9, 2025 at 11:00 PM
How does EPA handle a play like Jefferson not catching a catchable ball in the end zone? McCarthy put that ball in the right place.
November 9, 2025 at 10:39 PM
Do we know the 8 cowards?
