Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for November 10, 2025.

Democrats in the U.S. Senate have decided to cave and capitulate to The Trump Regime, and the MAGA Republican Congressional majority, by voting to end the MAGA Republican Government Shutdown. 

These 7 Democratic Senators, and one independent Senator, undercut the moral high ground on the government shutdown since The Trump Regime and MAGA Republicans in Congress refused to extend Obamacare subsidies. 

This latest capitulation must serve as a reminder that as much as we must oppose the authoritarian takeover of The Trump Regime, we must oppose and throw-out those in the Democratic Party who believe capitulation is the only way to deal with corporate autocracy. 

Capitulation is never an answer.
