I don't think it's Fetterman.

I mean, yes, him too. But why do you assume that this wasn't a deal that Schumer and friends worked out, where a bunch of people who are retiring or in safe districts or suffering from brain damage agree to take the fall?

• Dick Durbin is the minority whip
• Schumer didn't want to do the shutdown in the first place
• I now don't hear anyone in Democratic leadership out yelling about how these assholes betrayed everyone, like they did when Mamdani won the primary or Bernie participated in one. It's all just a suspicious silence, and oh well, thoughts and prayers and let's move on.
