The most secure seats voted yes.

I suspect Amy has so much baggage already that she's going to have a tough primary. Probably will hold on, but man alive am I going to do everything I can to get her primaried.

She will be 70 at her next primary...my guess is she is done since she has no future. She will never be President or Veep so at 70 she might as well retire.

It seems like forever ago but she beat Royce White 5 months ago.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it. “We liked it over here,” one said.

The Democrats are a laughingstock.

It’s the best case scenario for everyone. The nazis get to continue to advance their agenda, and the old fart limousine libs get to keep getting paid while pointing their fingers across the aisle.

Nothing else matters but getting reelected and insider trading
 
Trump is telling Senators to look at Medicaid cuts. It was always part of the plan. The fun part about Republicans is that they get to lie to people, get elected, do the thing they said they were not going to do, and then suffer zero consequences for it.

Hell, let's say this midterm is like Biden's midterm, or Trump's first midterm. Where things didn't turn out for the Republicans as good. Did it matter? No. And this time it really doesn't matter cause there will not be a midterm anyway.
 
Wow, Chuckles got his DC bill to pass in the Senate. Unanimous consent.

Guess we can't take the chance of their favorite after hours drinking establishments maybe not being there.
 
I know someone on Social Security who lives check to check. They've already overdrawn on their checking account because the Social Security payment cycle had changed. They also cannot call in cause no one answers the phone, AND they were used to getting on the website to see what is going on and that is also down.

Congratulations America. You and Chuck Schumer have gotten what you voted for.
 
The Bernie camp sent me an email this morning, "So...where do we go from here?"

He and AOC can go on their adorable, little rah-rah-rah speaking tour (which really needs your grassroots donations, BTW :LOL:). They don't have a real plan either, other than trying to get more progressives elected. Good luck with that in this country.

I disagree. AOC has been quite vocal about the options we have and lobbying their use. She has never said we're going to win. There are no wins to be had. Stopping the CR was a way to try and negotiate a better loss. Which is still better than what we have.

It's certainly a better plan than chuck schumer's impression of chamberlain.

Honestly, it's what I want to see. I want to see more Dems in the crowds making an effort to put exclamation points on what's going on and show that there are people who will fight for them, if they'd just stop blindly voting for the red hats.

We keep hearing how "Dems can't message," "Dems are too elite;" Meanwhile you got Walz and Sanders meeting face to face with these people to give them someone who will listen.

Its why Bart Stupak was a great Dem politician for the Upper Peninsula despite it being a Republican stronghold for years. When Stupack did not seek reelection, it seemed to be the end of an era which lead to more Tea Party / MAGA mentality from the rural regions. More reactionary, less listening.

As seen from the success MAGA has had, "Trickledown" doesn't even work in politics, we need to build from the ground up like they've done. School board, township, village, all are building blocks.

Somewhere, we need to motivate people from these town halls to run for office. I liked the ground game Harris out together for that final month, but logistically, they couldn't get to where they needed to. Sure sending Walz's wife to Escanaba and Marquette a week before the election, or hot dropping into Traverse City and Grand Rapids was good, but that doesn't reach the people who need to hear the message in Ironwood, Mohawk, L'Anse, Stephenson, Naubinway, Indian River, West Branch, Alpena.

My God, there was even a town halls organized for a UP rep that he didn't even show up for. And he'll still likely
didn't even show up for, called it a stunt, and he'll still likely win re-election because there isn't anyone who will run against him.

Maybe there's something with the elder Millenial / Millenial / Gen-Z attitude where those that have empathy don't feel like they're good enough to run for these offices. It sure seems like the empathy-less MAGA youths have a devil-may-care attitude and don't have the same self doubt.

I know I've had those thoughts myself seeing some of the elected officials from back home. "If they're this big a fuck up, even I could be better than that! But would I be good at it / good for the people?"
 
So now ice is detaining German green card holders. White guy named Fabian who literally looks like a Bayern meme
