You’re not wrong sadly:
At least with Mamdani’s case, it was worth trying.
Yep. My tepid optimism and defense of Schumer lasted like a whole 24 hours…
Uhh, more Americans blamed Republicans and Trump’s approval tanked.
This guy is full of fucking shit. There was no reason relent and it would’ve set Dems up for success next year.
Primary them all.
Closest thing Donnie can relate with is being told he wasn’t allowed to golf during the campaign. Rough, buddy, I know.
Exactly! I’ll repeat what I wrote elsewhere that this is actually a good strategic move as much as I want Jeffries and Schumer gone.
Follow me:
The GOP are forking Democrats to choose a loss of SNAP benefits, or a loss of healthcare tax subsidies that will see premiums skyrocket to unaffordable levels for millions.
Democrats DO have the negotiating leverage right now considering Trump’s approval is plummeting and more Americans blame Republicans than Democrats.
However, this move has a slightly veiled one: It punts the issue to become a talking-point on healthcare right around midterms next year, which will be hugely beneficial to Democratic talking points.
As a result, Democrats seize a win for the American people in both restoring SNAP benefits and ACA tax subsidies for a year more, while at the same time loading up political leverage for midterms next year.
NOT TO MENTION: It solidifies the side who is trying to viably come to the table and to HELP the American people. Makes them look like the adults in the room.
Dare I say, great move.
This is awesome. If unfamiliar with her, watch her interview with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show
Heather Cox Richardson echoed this. That infighting with this much power is bound to occur. Hopefully it slows and distracts sufficiently while opposition unites.
From dead war criminals to this, lots of good news today! Not necessarily making up for everything, but I’ll take it.
Prop 50 should be a done deal too, yeah?
New York Post is absolute GARBAGE. Right-wing tabloid owned by Murdoch. Only place that would publish the hunter laptop conspiracy theory.
Don’t forget Fox News edited his interview on the release of the Epstein files.
Interesting! Theories on why? What economic class is your neighborhood?
Is it possible there were less houses with lights on due to financial strain, and is it possible the perception of number of treaters was skewed due to there being less houses to hit, thereby concentrating those treaters?
Anyone notice a comparatively lackluster Halloween turnout this year compared to the previous 2 years? I sure did.
Can’t blame people… Economy sucks, prices high, and the spirits of many are broken.
Open enrollment for insurance is active right now across the country and people are starting to realize the pain that’s coming their way.
Businesses are going to realize consumer spending is low on the holidays.
The absence of tourism and snowbirds is beginning to start now and the effects peak in Spring.
Every day, more evidence where the only explanation is intentional sabotage to weaken us.
It’s why I’m watching James Talarico so closely. Seems he’s trying to correct that.
When Morgan Housley, 29, moved to Washington for her job in April, she had some non-negotiables for the conservative man she was looking to date: He had to “love the Lord,” genuinely enjoy going to church, and be able to “provide and protect, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of those things.” A fit, athletic man she could go on runs with.
So far, Mr. Right has not materialized. Instead, many of the single MAGA men she’s seen are … “Not fit, workaholics and not taking finding a wife seriously,” Housley says.
LOL so the only one who responded was Stephen Miller.
Also, wonder if she meant alcoholics.
In fairness the US healthcare system does prioritize rich people. You can get preventative MRI scans if willing to pay.
The question is, did any other US President have preventative MRIs done? I’ve never heard.
I was thinking how it could be the next step in preventative medicine if as part of one’s annual physical that not just bloodwork but a full-body MRI could be granted in a universal health care system.
Imagine what that could do in stopping issues before they snowballed, and the value for medical studies…
Bannon sieg heiled. Fuck em.
I think both are kind of true. They have more power than perhaps any administration in history given how stacked the Supreme Court is and how subservient the entire GOP is to Trump and the billionaire apparatus.
That said, I DO sense a panic of how so many months have gone by and midterms are right around the corner. With Trump’s approval-ratings plummeting to Jimmy Carter levels already and their lack of justifying consolidation of power while Democrats are energized — IF they don’t succeed by next midterms, GOP are going to lose pretty big.
Prop 50 Yes in California is a must as well.
To be honest, we shouldn’t even need Republicans to turn the tide. We just need to get people off their asses and stop pushing both sides bullshit.
Democratic primaries will be fast approaching and now is the best time ever to support Democratic candidates like AOC (likely to primary Schumer), Mamdani, Talarico, Chakrabarti, etc. and get out the AIPAC crap.
I haven’t look into it with any depth, but I kind of feel recall elections should be possible especially for US Senators.
