A 5 year sentence, out in 3 weeks. The law is only for you.

The Democratic party is the big tent party. But I can find no room under this tent for fecklessness. Our party has been weakened by politicians who are too enamored with the plaques on their wall. Too addicted to the money. No healthcare, no votes.
Reporter: What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation? Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date… Reporter: There is no guarantee that this will become law. Shaheen: There was never a guarantee that it would be become law.

The ending of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is so iconic it almost overshadows the rest of the film. Leone spent 3 days shooting that standoff, timing every cut and Morricone cue to perfection. Pure cinema distilled into a few breathtaking minutes.
Movies where the final scene is widely regarded as the best scene in the entire film?

Jay Jacobs is an embarrassment and should’ve been pushed out a long time ago.
Replying to @JCColtin
Hochul defends NY Dems Chair Jay Jacobs - “Focusing on the results of one county (Nassau) dismisses the successes across the state. And if you're going to blame him for one county, then you have to, by extension, have to give him credit for the rest of the state.”

Jeffries backs Schumer amid fierce Democratic backlash to shutdown deal dlvr.it/TPBK6c

I've long opposed the filibuster and lots of people would say "well how would you feel if the R's had united government and no filibuster" and my answer is: fine! it would be better to have congress doing stuff and actually passing laws than a wannabe dictator issuing decrees

Non story, and recent elections are evidence no one cares
CNN: Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat running for the US Senate in Michigan, has quietly erased thousands of old social media posts — including a dozen tweets that championed the “defund the police” movement, described police as “standing armies,” and urged cities to divert money from law enforcement to social services. cnn.com/2025/11/10/politics/…

Fuck that. Don’t come back talking about another shutdown. You’re going to cave anyway. Weak.
Schumer: "However this vote turns out, this fight will and must continue. Democrats must fight."

The so-called leaders in the Democratic Party are so used to surrendering that they literally don’t have a Plan B. The only question is when and how they give up. And they’re so unbelievably clueless that they can’t figure out why we’re frustrated with them.

Senate leadership had the chance to not fuck up and fold. They folded AGAIN. This will not change until we have a culture in our party of embracing primary challenges in safe seats and states.

The 1898 Wilmington massacre drastically changed the landscape of the city. Dozens of Black people were killed, countless Black businesses moved or closed, and thousands of Black families fled the city in the wake of the insurrection.

"Italy’s biggest pasta exporters say import and antidumping duties totaling 107% on their pasta brands will make doing business in America too costly and are preparing to pull out of U.S. stores as soon as January."

Democrats just essentially guaranteed the death of the ACA at the end of December all while giving the Republicans essentially everything they wanted today.

It’s no coincidence that every Dem who voted yes isn’t vulnerable this cycle. The establishment will always choose to roll over for corporations instead of fighting to protect working Americans. We’re not waiting for them to grow a spine. This November, we’re cleaning house.
Sen. Maggie Hassan just voted YES on Schumer’s shutdown deal, joining Kaine, Durbin, and King. History will remember who stood tall, and who folded when millions were going hungry.

Vote for Sayed & Platner, the single-payer healthcare candidates!!!
If you're mad at Schumer for once again caving like the idiotic coward he is, one thing you can do is work to block his candidates - like Haley Stevens in MI and Janet Mills in ME - whom he's handpicked because he knows they'll also be idiotic cowards when the time comes.

Most people with fire insurance also never have their house burn down
Up to 40% of Obamacare enrollees never file a claim. That’s billions in taxpayer dollars flowing to insurance companies for people who don’t even use the system. Republicans are committed to ending the fraud and making healthcare truly affordable.

Oh yes, the old strategy of telling people not to believe their wallets. This worked out very well in 2024 for Democrats. Brilliant strategy.

Oh fuck off. Someone who is retiring should be harder not softer. How does that even happen.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.
