Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

Now that Schumer and Dems have abjectly decided to cave, when they scream about the cuts that Musk and Trump continue to undertake in violation of *their own CR,* it will only sound all the more hollow. Great job all around, guys.

I can’t think of a time in the past 15 years or so where I’ve found myself just completely unable to defend my party. There’s seemingly no strategy or longball approach here. Just absolute wimpery and selling us out.

This is so discouraging. Giving up the final bit of leverage they have — and getting absolutely nothing in return. I am not sure the Democrats have ever had weaker leaders.

Cecil is a veteran operative who has been head of the DSCC and ran HRC’s SuperPAC. He’s aghast.
