a thing about this list is that it passes the CR with the votes of safe seat and retiring Democrats, in an attempt to protect frontliners not from general-election threats but rather their own primary electorates.

schumer's protecting them from you, not the general election.
Don't take this as gospel. It's not official. It's a very knowledgable source's best understanding of the situation. This persons likely Yeses on cloture are. Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.

Democrats Lost the Propaganda War
The party used up about $5 billion on political ads in 2024. There’s a better way.

I've come to understand that many people, a lot of the time, are nether lying nor telling the truth; they haven't thought about their words in those terms. They're just, like, saying stuff.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
