  1. They were not "peeled off" but rather were selected by Schumer and the caucus to take the fall since none are up for re-election or are retiring.
  2. This is a case of over-promising and then under-delivering. Democrats needed to realize that extending the ACA subsidies was never going to happen. But they pushed that narrative anyway as if it was achievable. This fired up the base thinking that they could hold the line indefinitely. This was a miscalculation as the GOP doesn't give two shits that people's insurance premiums are about to skyrocket and were willing to hold out indefinitely in order to appease Trump and their misinformed base. So this was never going to happen - at least right now. The irony is that this might get us Medicare for All sooner rather than later.
  3. They saw the Denver-LV game and said “hold my beer.”
  4. The Real Reason Dems Caved on Shutdown Will Make You Want to Scream
  5. It's cut off but that's from Tim Miller. He discusses it more here:
  6. I still don't understand how ND lost AT HOME to NIU last year. Utah's win at 3-6 UCLA is the best win for those three according to Massey.
  7. Some of you are under the illusion that the GOP wanted to open the government. They were just fine letting Trump do his thing without the inconvenience of a legislature.
  8. This is a good explanation of the bigger picture. IMHO Mike Johnson didn't want to bring the House back before the special election that will be held in December in Tennessee (which will give the GOP enough votes to stop the discharge petition on the Epstein files). Now he has to bring everyone back before he was ready, and also there's no guarantee that he can get his caucus to support the Senate version of the bill. Importantly, there isn't a filibuster in the House so if things go to shit (they will) then it's all on the GOP at that point. That said, the optics of this are bad and Schumer deserves a lot of heat for it. Make no mistake - he was driving this and the caucus agreed who would be the 8 to cross over and take the heat.
  9. Full text of Pegram's tweet:
  10. Apparently the leadership at the universities that want this were trying to jam it through without Board approval and now they are pushing back.
  11. Did NOT expect this:
  12. the backstory of this is insane. Amarillo High used an ineligible player due to a clerical error, and UIL issued a punitive penalty causing AHS to forfeit several games. Thus the coin flip to get into the playoffs. They are playing an El Paso school on the road (that they will crush) in bi-district.
  13. Will Johnson bring the House back in session to pass this? Source: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/09/government-funding-deal-on-track-to-advance-sunday-night-00644110
  14. March for Arch next year.
