Chuck Schumer is either allowing eight of his colleagues to be the sin eaters who take the blame for passing this shutdown deal, or he’s genuinely powerless to hold his conference together. Either way, he should be out of leadership tomorrow morning.

So basically we have a King and are powerless to stop it.
John Roberts will go down as one of the most destructive people in the history of the county.

I'll entertain technical arguments about the Summary Offences Act (NSW) when someone can explain how Police can kettle and move on small groups protesting climate issues but somehow this out front of state parliament renders them powerless. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...
What we just witnessed was state-sanctioned Nazism
What on earth did the NSW Police think a rally organised by the National Socialist Network would be about?

It's dominance politics. It's not enough to defeat your opponents on policy, you have to humiliate them. Knifing Democrats in the back who just extended a hand to you in compromise and friendship is about humiliating them and showing how foolish and powerless your opponents are.
If I were Mike Johnson's comms staff I would point at the knife the Senate Dems shoved in their base's back and say outright "there will never be a House vote on ACA subsidies."

There are few times I feel as completely useless and powerless as when I’ve made my closing and the judge is reading the jury instructions and I have to just sit there.

Jack White just thanked “the homeless, the powerless, and the forgotten” as he’s inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He said we should all always be thinking of and thanking them, and it really moved me.

I know we're all mad, but you have to admit that it's an astounding coincidence that the only Dem defectors are those not seeking reflection next year. And Dem leadership was powerless to stop them! Wow! What are the odds? The world is full of wonders and mysteries.

They need to read power of the powerless. Folding is being complicit. It is a betrayal of their alleged comrades.

Doublethink might’ve finally reached a limit in (1) “we’re totally in charge, nothing can stand in our way, everything is great” and (2) “things are awful and getting worse, we’re powerless, it’s all the minority party’s doing.”
Especially when the people in charge grin as they say “getting worse.”

You’ve been told that you’re powerless-- that without thousands of followers, millions in the bank, or a seat in Congress, there’s nothing you can do to stop the rise of authoritarianism. But that’s a lie that keeps regimes in power.

@governor.ca.gov is speaking up for the seven million people whose voices were loud clear on No Kings Day, for the voiceless and powerless who need economic justice, and for American democracy as a whole.

As if total control over metropoles was ever necessary to extracting terror over largely powerless minority populations that are increasingly dependent on white people giving a shit to make a noise across months, soon to be years.

Fascinating that someone in a position to impact health outcomes for the trans community can feel both like a powerless victim, and emboldened to wield the power they currently have against us.

Another cold, powerless morning in Ukraine.
Millions wake to homes without heat, light, or water — not by accident, but because the Kremlin’s regime keeps striking our energy grid. Families boil snow on balconies; hospitals switch to generators; kids dress for school under blankets.👇
