Seriously this, what has she ever done to earn giving her a chance? The only reason she’s speaking out is because she’s now immediately affected, but couldn’t give a shit before when others were in the same position as she is now.

They probably did that but it didn’t match DONNI TEE which is how that email got released

Regardless of it’s accuracy, I’m sure it pisses off Trump, so that’s good. That being said, it’s pretty clear the brothers are joking, and doesn’t have any details that has been corroborated. Sure it’d be funny and gross if it were true, but just because we want to believe doesn’t mean we should throw away all logical reasoning to get to the conclusions we want.

I was eating when I read the news and almost puked

None of your SMS data is encrypted anyway, all of it can be obtained by your cell provider or the recipients cell provider. TBH Google is probably the least of your problems with regard to SMS safety. I had a friend who sent an invite code to some gambling website to her husband, so she could get promo credit, and AT&T flagged her text as spam and blocker her across their whole network for a week or annoying period of time.

Unfortunately there’s still a ton of content and resources which are only on Reddit. Personally I don’t avoid reddit if I am troubleshooting and find a conversation which could be helpful. As long as I am browsing with uBlock Origin, not logged in, and not contributing to the conversation, I feel Reddit gains very little from my visit.

Jason figured it out? Jason? This is a real low point.

Cuomo lost the Democrat primary, but he didn’t switch his affiliation the way Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin did. Because of the election rules in NY, he was still allowed to still be on the ballot, even after losing the primary, but was forced to be listed as an independent (because he lost the primary). Most normal people would see the loss as a sign they are unwanted, but not Cuomo.

The general election was first past the post, which in a race of more than two candidates rarely ends with one getting a majority of the votes. Had election laws prevented Cuomo from being on the ballot after he lost the primary, the options would have been Mamdani & Sliwa where all but Staten Island would have voted for Mamdani and you would expect to see the 65-70% votes for Mamdani.

Presidential election also has to deal with the Electoral College which ignores the popular vote all together, so not sure how you could focus on one stat when comparing a mayoral election to a presidential.

yes, these are the facts the other article is missing.

Shaheen’s comments also reveal one of two possible scenarios. Either Schumer was scheming to end the shutdown behind the scenes, only pretending to be against it while pinning the blame on the eight people who aren’t up for reelection anytime soon, or he has no control over his party. Either way, it proves the need for Democrats to jettison the minority leader.

Even if trump were to sign it, enrollment ends on December 15th, so agreeing to hold a vote in December basically guarantees people will be hit with higher premiums which is what they were fighting to avoid.

What i’m saying is the prospect.org article is speculation of the events that happened behind closed doors. It jumps to conclusions to make a point of Schumers ineptitude by implying he orchestrated and supported the no votes, but doesn’t provides any source for those claims. Other articles being reported on today outline plenty of reasons Schumer is unfit to lead without making things up. For example:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/11/10/progressives-call-for-schumers-resignation-after-shutdown-vote/87195871007/

Joseph Geevarghese, executive director of Our Revolution, said in a statement. "If he secretly backed this surrender and voted ‘no’ to save face, he’s a liar. If he couldn’t keep his caucus in line, he’s inept. Either way, he’s proven incapable of leading the fight to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. The country can’t afford his failed leadership any longer.”

Exactly, 8% of the vote total did NOT go to either the Democratic nominee for mayor (50.4%) or the former Democratic governor (41.6%). By this logic, democrats are UP 27 points to 92% in NYC.

I really don’t care to defend Schumer, but posting this article as substantiated proof of him supporting Democrats capitulation is not really convincing. The article doesn’t mention what changed between it being widely assumed and it being a fact? Just starting a sentence with “in fact” doesn’t make it true. There are many other, more recent sources with his quotes saying he doesn’t approve of their actions.

It’s equally possible that Schumer has no control of the situation and the Senators who are voting for reopening the government know Schumer is spineless, and will only craft a strongly worded letter condemning their actions. The fact he went public with a proposal after reports of senators defecting isn’t proof he is complicit in their capitulation, just that he was unable to convince all the Democratic Senators that his plan was a good plan they should remain consistent about. Is Schumer responsible as the minority leader of the senate and ultimately to take the blame for the Democrats fracturing over this; yes. But to say he is secretly supporting the capitulation as if he’s Palpatine playing both sides is not really substantiated and frankly giving him too much credit.

I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but could you quote the proof you’re referring to from the article? The two paragraphs I think you’re referring to are (emphasis mine):

Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were freelancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

The leaders of the proposed Democratic cave-in, Sens. Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen, both of New Hampshire, and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, then backed down. Only after that did Schumer go public with his proposal to reopen the government in exchange for a one-year extension of the ACA subsidies, along with a bipartisan commission to figure out a long-term solution.

Being “widely assumed” isn’t really solid proof, and having a proposal with an exchange of an extension isn’t capitulation on Schumer’s part. If anything, this whole thing shows Schumer’s incompetence to be able to lead the democrats, but this doesn’t seem supported or orchestrated on his part.

I don’t think there’s much calculation being done by anyone here, but I guess we’ll see. With 2026 being midterms, i doubt democrats will pressure another shutdown in the summer/fall and risk losing their seat.

Budget reconciliation : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconciliation_(United_States_Congress)

The Senate gets to use it once a year to not require 60 votes. It was last used it on July 4th to push through the cuts to Medicaid, which is why it can’t be used again now. January being a new year means Republicans can ignore Democrats again and continue to push their own agenda without bipartisan support.

From Wikipedia:

the Senate can pass one bill per year affecting each subject.

The procedure overrides the Senate’s filibuster rules, which may otherwise require a sixty-vote supermajority for passage. Bills described as reconciliation bills can pass the Senate by a simple majority of fifty-one votes or fifty votes plus the vice president’s as the tie-breaker.

The vote in January only requires a majority vote which the Republicans can push through without any Democrat support. They have no incentive to work with Democrats for that vote.

I didn’t see Schumer vote for it. The NY times has this quote from him as of a few hours ago

Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, upbraided Republican leaders for refusing to negotiate with them on health care subsidies. He said he would vote against the deal some members of the Senate Democratic caucus have brokered, because “this health care crisis is so severe.”

“Make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this health care trauma,” Schumer said. “Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Americans will remember Republican intransigence every time they make a sky high payment on health insurance.”

He’s starting to crack. He did this during the first presidency with the stimulus checks, and insisted on having it signed by him and not appearing as if it was from the government to boost his (and Republican) popularity. With the midterms approaching and this past week’s big wins for Democrats, he’s trying to buy votes.
