We speak to The American Prospect's David Dayen about what could be the end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, after seven Democratic Senators and one independent struck a deal with Republicans to pass a short-term government funding bill. "Why would you end this?" asks Dayen, echoing many in the Democratic coalition who believe the deal was a poor strategic move for the anti-Trump opposition. Calls are now growing for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down. "Donald Trump and the Republicans were being blamed for all of this chaos…and yet, days later this this group of Democrats with the tacit support of Chuck Schumer decide that they're going to end this and cave."

At Zohran Mamdani's victory party at the Brooklyn Paramount on Tuesday night, Democracy Now! spoke with Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "We're not going to be intimidated," Ocasio-Cortez said. "We're going to fight for working families. We're going to stand with immigrants. We're going to stand with the diversity of this city."
Brad Lander, former mayoral candidate who cross-endorsed with Mandani in the Democratic primary, commented on the power of having a "Muslim New Yorker and a Jewish New Yorker say we are not going to allow Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams or Donald Trump or Elon Musk or Stephen Miller to weaponize fear and pit us against each other."
"This is such an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," added the Canadian journalist, author and activist Naomi Klein.
