    So six Democratic congresscritters crossed the aisle to pass the latest defence spending bill - not that unusual, given their swing districts and being up for election - but they did so with the "SAVE" act attached to it.

    Apparently, they have all the self-preservation instinct of the mythical #lemmings from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fabrication. Because the entire point of the #SAVE act is to disenfranchise as many Democratic-leaning voters as possible. This isn't speculation; it's easy to read in the measures that it calls for, but more than that, #Trump has explicitly described it that way over the last few months.

    The #Democrats frequently do not need the #GOP to ratf*ck them [1]; as here, they're quite capable of doing it to themselves.

    Everyone who cares about preserving #US democracy, such as it is, needs to yell at their #senators to ensure this monstrosity doesn't pass in the Senate. There's been lots of talk of it not having the votes there, but that was said about other things that (eventually) got passed as well.

    [1] Don't blame me for the language. A US president brought the term into wide use.

    A new report from the grassroots organization RootsAction aims to do what a promised “autopsy” from the #Democratic National Committee ultimately did not: publicly reckon with the failures of the #Democrats’ 2024 presidential campaign. While the #DemocraticParty’s official postmortem assessment was pulled from public release earlier this month, RootsAction’s “Democratic Autopsy” looks at how factors like “service to corporate power, hostility to the progressive wing of the party, out-of-control militarism [and] disconnection from the base of the working class” contributed to declining support for the party’s platform and candidates. “If you don’t examine real history, then you’re in a cycle that repeats the same problems,” says Norman Solomon, director of #RootsAction...

    November 11, 2025, Pod Save America, Shutdown for What? (Schumer’s Version)

    Pod Save America

    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.

  8. Democrats’ shutdown rage erupts in call – “People are f**king pissed” – Axios

    Democrats’ shutdown civil war spills out in private call

    A private call of House Democrats devolved into a furious vent session Monday afternoon as lawmakers fumed about a group of Senate centrists cutting a deal with Republicans to end the shutdown.

    Why it matters: Over a dozen House Democrats spoke on the call, with the vast majority slamming the deal, sources told Axios — a volume that reflects deep outrage between the two chambers.

    • Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) said the public is incensed at what they see as Democrats caving on the shutdown fight, telling her colleagues, “People are f**king pissed.”
    • Nearly “everyone [was] strongly against” the deal, said one House Democrat who was on the call but spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details of a private discussion.

    Between the lines: It’s not just a fight between the House and Senate, with a growing number of House Democrats urging their colleagues to stop training their fire on fellow party members.

    • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) instructed members to keep the focus on health care and not on “a few individuals in the Senate,” according to three lawmakers who were on the call.
    • Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.), the leadership representative for members in battleground districts, similarly told her colleagues to focus their shutdown-related attacks on Republicans, not Democrats.

    State of play: House Democrats and liberal grassroots groups erupted into rage Sunday after a group of eight Senate Democrats voted to advance a bill to reopen the government.

    • The deal the Democratic centrists struck with Republicans includes the promise of a Senate vote next month on renewing expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.
    • But the bill would need 60 votes to pass, and the deal doesn’t guarantee a House vote, making it unlikely Democrats will actually succeed in securing an extension.

    Zoom in: Roughly half of those who spoke on Monday’s call either directly criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) or did so implicitly by agreeing with previous speakers who tore into him, sources said.

    • Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the former chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, argued that either the Senate leader “can’t control his caucus” or he “gave his blessing” to the deal.
    • A Schumer spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Yes, but: Despite the widespread anger towards the deal among progressive and moderate House Democrats, some of the party’s most centrist members are expressing openness to voting for it.

    • Just as the caucus call was getting started, Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), a retiring centrist who has openly opposed his party’s shutdown strategy, signaled he is supportive of the Senate deal.
    • “Congressman Golden’s position on using a government shutdown as a legislative strategy has been clear and has not changed,” a spokesperson told Axios, while stressing his support for extending ACA tax credits.
    • Lee said on the call that she, personally, is undecided on the bill even as Jeffries has said he opposes it and vowed to fight it.

    What’s next: Jeffries vowed to fight the deal in the House and floated the possibility of a discharge petition to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits, sources said.
