Shutdown for What? (Schumer’s Version) – Crooked Media
November 11, 2025, Pod Save America, Shutdown for What? (Schumer’s Version)
In This Episode
Eight Democratic senators break from the party to cut a deal with Republicans and end the shutdown without any meaningful concessions on health insurance premiums. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss the timing of the deal, the reactions from other elected Democrats and the party’s base, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s apparent inability to hold his caucus together. Then, they jump into the rest of the news, including Trump’s preemptive pardons for scores of allies who tried to overturn the 2020 election, a whistleblower’s report that Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is receiving “concierge-style” treatment at her minimum security prison facility, and the President’s unwelcome surprise appearance at Sunday’s Washington Commanders game.

Two men recognized and exploited the anti-democratic loopholes within America’s rickety democracy
-- in order to deliver Republicans victories that they could never win at the ballot box.Now their willfully minoritarian creations threaten the very essence of a representative democracy:
if Donald #Trump, rightwing courts, #gerrymandered state legislatures and an extreme Republican #caucus in the US House of Representatives create constitutional #chaos over the certification of this presidential election, 👉two men cleared the path.
The single-minded determination of #Leonard #Leo built a conservative supermajority on the US #supreme #court and ♦️stacked lower and state courts with Republican #ideologues that have pushed the nation to the right via the least accountable branch of government.
#Chris #Jankowski masterminded the partisan #gerrymanders that ♦️tilted state legislatures and congressional delegations across the south and the purple midwest toward extreme Republicans,
♦️ended Barack Obama’s second term before it started, and ♦️rendered elections in Wisconsinand North Carolina all but meaningless over the last decade and a half.Leo and Jankowski understood, separately, that the courts and state legislatures were undervalued and often undefended targets for a deliberate strategy aimed at capturing important levers of power that sometimes float under the radar.
They could be Moneyball-ed, to borrow the term Michael Lewis used in his book about how the Oakland A’s made an end-run around large-market teams by understanding value that their opponents overlooked.
What Leo and Jankowski built separately would soon reinforce the other’s creation (with, of course, crucial assists from chief justice #John #Roberts), tightening the knots around meaningful elections, pushing policy to the extreme right and 💥making it nearly impossible for voters to do anything about it

“In #Kamala #Harris we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because she is from the middle class,” progressive Rep #Ocasio-#Cortez said in her speech on Monday.
“She understands the urgency of rent checks and groceries and prescriptions. She is as committed to our reproductive and civil rights as she is to taking on corporate greed.”
Ocasio-Cortez issued a wholehearted endorsement of the new nominee, and she promised that, if elected, Harris would serve as a champion of the middle class.
In his own convention speech, Senator #Bernie #Sanders pledged that Democrats would use their governing power to “tax the rich”, “take on price gouging” and “expand Medicare”.
The possibility of that change has animated progressives.
“The energy is electrifying and it’s a lot of young folks,” the congresswoman #Pramila #Jayapal, chair of the Congressional #Progressive #caucus, told the Guardian.
“If you have young people, if you have progressives, Black, brown, Indigenous folks, working-class folks, that is actually the base that helps us to win because they are the ones that go door to door. They’re the ones that mobilize voters.”To deliver on the promises that progressives are seeking, Harris may have to distance herself from Biden in certain areas, especially climate and the war on Gaza.
During his 2020 campaign, Biden embraced a sweeping climate agenda as he looked to reassure the millions of progressive voters who had not backed him in the primary.
While Biden signed the most significant federal climate bill in history, the Inflation Reduction Act, however, failed to follow through on his campaign pledge of “no more drilling on federal lands”.Progressives hope Harris will stick to some of the promises that Biden made as a candidate but then walked back.
“We cannot have that happen again,” #Jeff #Merkley, a senator, told the Guardian.
“We, as climate truth-tellers, have to be very present, very loud, very determined to say,❇️ ‘We will back you 1,000%, but you can’t keep expanding the fossil infrastructure.’”❇️

Rep. Derrick Van Orden is done with Rep. Bob Good.
#Good, the leader of the House #Freedom #Caucus and one of eight Republicans who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, has been at the center of internal GOP infighting that has left their party’s agenda in tatters and their conference embroiled in a bitter civil war.
Now #Van #Orden has joined hands with a band of House Republicans angling to knock Good off in his June primary by propping up his primary opponent, John #McGuire
– a tactic long viewed as a serious breach of protocol but one that underscores the #bad #blood within the House GOP.🥺“Bob Good didn’t come here to govern. He came here to be famous,” 🥺Van Orden, a Wisconsin Republican, told CNN.
“Bob Good’s wearing our jersey, and he’s not on the team.”
Van Orden added: “If you look at what we have NOT been able to accomplish in this Congress, it’s predominantly because of Bob Good and his ilk.”
