They’re just too disorganized to put up a good fight against this bulls—.”“It pains me to say it, but Trump’s goons are f—–g organized compared to the Dems right now,” he added.Clark Furey and his dog Scooby.Alexandra Marquez / NBC NewsClark Furey, 40, who lives in Washington, called on elected Democrats to “throw some more elbows.”“We’re just taking it on the chin, and we’re not speaking out,” he told NBC News while attending the rally with his dog, Scooby. “You know, I think we need to throw some more elbows. Unfortunately, the high road doesn’t work.”Jenny Wang, left.Alexandra Marquez / NBC NewsJenny Wang, 35, who lives in Washington and attended the rally, used two words to describe how she feels about the Democratic Party at the moment: “disappointed” and “underwhelmed.”Many of these rank-and-file Democrats aren’t alone.Since Democrats lost the White House and the Senate in 2024 and failed to flip the House, approval ratings of the party have dipped to their lowest levels in decades.Scott, 45, who lives in Washington and attended Saturday’s rally but didn’t want to share his last name, said he felt that Democrats were almost as bad as Republicans.“By and large, the Democratic Party is also bought by corporate interests, and they fail to stand up for the average working people,” he told NBC News.He pointed to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and their ongoing hesitance to endorse New York City’s Democratic nominee for mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Scott also pointed to Schumer’s decision to support Maine’s Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, 77, for Senate over military veteran and oyster farmer Graham Platner in the primary there.“You can see it in their lack of interest in the leadership endorsing Mamdani in New York City. You can see it with them trying to get an almost octogenarian [in the] race in Maine to undercut progressives,” he said.Amanda Nataro, 41, at the No Kings protest in Washington, D.C.Alexandra Marquez / NBC NewsAmanda Nataro, 41, who lives in Washington and lost her government job earlier this year when the Trump administration made deep cuts to USAID, said she perceived Democrats to be too scared about losing their elections to stand up to Republicans.Democrats pushed back against the Trump administration’s attempts to slash funding for USAID, which Congress appropriated last year, before the Supreme Court in September allowed the Trump administration to go through with $4 billion worth of cuts.“I think all of them should be at home in their states at these No Kings protests letting people know that they stand with democracy. I think a lot of them are worried about holding on to their seats in purple states and their seats being flipped, and they’re missing an opportunity right here to show what democracy looks like, to speak out,” Nataro told NBC News at the rally. “I think they showed a little bit of backbone with the shutdown. But we could have done this in March. We let this go on for way too long before taking a stand.”Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker joins demonstrators Saturday during the second No Kings protest in Chicago.Joe Raedle / Getty ImagesMany elected Democrats did attend No Kings protests on Saturday. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., spoke to rallygoers in Boston. Schumer joined protesters in New York. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker spoke to demonstrators in Chicago. Sen. Andy Kim and Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for governor in New Jersey, addressed people attending a No Kings protest alongside Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin in Montclair, New Jersey.Despite their anger at Democrats, many demonstrators in Washington joined Nataro in acknowledging that the elected leaders within their own party have taken recent steps to fight back.Many praised Democrats in Congress for their opposition to a Republican-backed stopgap funding measure that would have kept the government open.The federal government has now been shuttered for more than two weeks, with Democrats saying they’ll vote alongside Republicans to fund it if GOP leaders agree to extend health care subsidies in the Affordable Care Act that are set to expire at the end of this year.Anita, left, Lydia, second from left, and Lydia’s daughters.Alexandra Marquez / NBC News“I’m happy that they’re kind of holding their ground finally,” Lydia, 44, who traveled to the rally from Springfield, Virginia, with her daughters, told NBC News.“I know the shutdown sucks, especially, like, my brother is not working right now. But, I mean, it’s very effective,” Lydia, who didn’t share her last name with NBC News, added. “It’s a very important thing. I know I can’t afford higher health care [costs] and I don’t make a small amount of money.”Laurel Beedon, left.Alexandra Marquez / NBC NewsLaurel Beedon, 79, who lives in northern Virginia and attended the rally with a friend, acknowledged that Democrats in Congress can’t take a lot of action while in the minority, but applauded their efforts to lower health care costs.“They’re doing what they can against a unthinking, enabling Republican majority,” she said. “I do applaud them around health care.”Many rallygoers also saw another glimmer of hope for Democrats in a new generation of leaders and activists.In response to questions from NBC News about whose work they are satisfied with in their party, demonstrators repeatedly threw out the names of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Chris Murphy, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost, Mamdani and Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow.“Let’s get rid of a lot of the old guard and bring in some fresh blood,” Wang said. “We have too many octogenarians and septuagenarians in Congress.”Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 29, 2025, 6:30 AM ESTBy Andrew GreifThe game’s outcome had effectively been determined when star Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels trotted out for another possession with 12 minutes remaining on Nov. 2.Down 31 points to Seattle, Washington chose to keep Daniels, last season’s NFL offensive rookie of the year and the franchise’s cornerstone, in the game rather than sit him to avoid the risk of injury. Ten plays later, Daniels fell awkwardly on the elbow of his left, nonthrowing arm, dislocating it.The drumbeat began as soon as Daniels started writhing on the turf. Sure, he was healthy. But why was he still in the game?Less than a month later, the Commanders’ season now appears to be a lost cause. With their 3-8 record and less than a 1% chance of making the playoffs, according to one analysis, there’s a new question in Washington. Though Daniels could be healthy enough to return by early December, does that mean the team should let him take the field and again risk injury?“You’re just got to try to do what’s best for the player,” Commanders coach Dan Quinn said this week. “We know what we’re looking to do and how we want to do it, but by no means are we careless about that. It’s important not just for Jayden, but important for our entire team.”What is best, in Quinn’s view, is that Daniels continues to play, to benefit his long-term improvement. As Quinn said on Wednesday: “We would not put him out there if he’s not able to fully express who he is as a player.”Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders leaves the field after injuring his left arm.Greg Fiume / Getty ImagesDaniels is one of the NFL’s most exciting young players, but not all Washington fans want to see him play again in these circumstances.“We know what Jayden can do. We saw it last year and we’ve even seen it in games this year against the Chargers. He looked fantastic,” said Mark Manjardi, a lifelong fan of the franchise who was so dedicated he flew to Spain to watch the team face Miami in November, in a game Daniels missed.“I just think the the worst-case scenario far, far, far outweighs the best-case scenario, which is, ‘Oh, he looks like his old self again,’ and we still have no chance of doing anything this year anyway. … Even if Jayden wants to play, which she obviously does, think long term. Think next year. This is a lost season. It sucks but it is what it is.”The Commanders aren’t the only team who could, theoretically, place their franchise star in proverbial bubble wrap and tank the rest of the season with the aim of earning a better draft pick.The practice is common late in NBA seasons by teams already far from playoff consideration. Though NBA teams do not explicitly say so, team executives, agents and players have long shared their belief that shelving a promising player for the remainder of a season often has more to do with improving a team’s odds of landing a high draft pick than it does with the severity of an injury.NFL teams this season, however, seem to be deferring to players. Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow suffered a turf toe injury in Week 2 and missed the next nine weeks as his team cratered to a 3-8 record, with commentators making their case for why neither the Bengals, nor Burrow, were best-served by continuing to play him. Yet Burrow said returning on Thanksgiving would be meaningful to him.“He’s a football player. He wants to play football,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said earlier this week. “We want to win football games. That will lead into that decision.”It’s safe to say the Bengals were glad they made the decision to start Burrow, who threw two touchdowns in Thursday’s 32-14 win against Baltimore.Angst around the risk of Daniels hurting himself again has grown because his elbow dislocation was his third injury this season, after he previously missed three games for a sprained knee and tweaked hamstring.Matthew Berry, a fantasy football expert for NBC Sports, posted on X, “begging my beloved Commanders. This is not our year. We should not risk further injury to our franchise QB in a lost year. He shouldn’t have been playing at the end of a blow-out loss and he shouldn’t play again this season. We are 3-8.”Daniels isn’t wired that way, said Herm Edwards, the former NFL coach who also briefly coached Daniels in college at Arizona State.“You’re going to have to tie him down for him not to play,” Edwards told a D.C. radio show recently. “You want a guy like that. If he would sit there and say, ‘Well, I’m done. We’re 3-8 now’ — that ain’t who he is.”But, Edwards was pressed by a radio host: Should Daniels play when the playoff upside is so remote?“The season is now, and he got to play now. Are you kidding me?” Edwards said. “That’s what they do. Football players play football. They don’t do anything else. That’s their job. He’s not going to say, ‘Hey man, you know’ — he don’t care. He wants to play, he wants to compete.”Daniels confirmed that sentiment when telling reporters Tuesday, “If I’m healthy and ready to go, I want to be out there.”Washington ranks in the league’s bottom half in sacks allowed. Its next two opponents, meanwhile — Denver and Minnesota — are known for harassing defenses to a degree that borders on maniacal. Denver, which faces Washington on Sunday, has 49 sacks, seven more than the league’s second-place team. The Vikings, who await on Dec. 7, blitz more often than anyone.Still, Daniels could soon be suiting up again anyway. If, or when, that happens, some fans will be watching through their fingers.More from SportsTime running out on Chiefs, Lions and Ravens after they stumble on ThanksgivingCollege football’s most wanted coach might ditch his team before it can play for a national titleOne NBA team ditched basketball’s most popular play and is now scoring more than everWhat else we’re watching for in Week 1349ers (8-4) at Browns (3-8): Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett is threatening to break the NFL’s single-season sack record of 22.5, with 18 sacks in just 11 games. Those 18 sacks are more than Carolina, San Francisco and Cincinnati have recorded as teams this season.Jaguars (7-4) at Titans (1-10): Tennessee’s home losing streak currently sits at 10 games. Jacksonville is 5-1 against the Titans since 2022. If the No. 1 pick and Titans quarterback throws for multiple touchdowns Sunday, it would be the first instance of his career.Texans (6-5) at Colts (8-3): The league’s No. 1 scoring offense (Colts, 31.0 points per game) faces the No. 2 scoring defense (Texans, 16.6 points per game). The Colts are 6-0 at home.Saints (2-9) at Dolphins (4-7): Tua Tagovailoa’s 13 interceptions are one away from tying his career high. Miami’s last two opponents have been held to 13 points each.Falcons (4-7) at Jets (2-9): New York is the first team in NFL history with one or fewer turnovers through 11 games in a season since turnovers were first tracked in 1933. Kirk Cousins is 8-8 as a Falcons starter since last season.Cardinals (3-8) at Buccaneers (6-5): Tampa’s final six games are against teams that do not currently have a winning record. Cardinals tight end Trey McBride’s 301 career receptions are tied with Jimmy Graham for the most by a tight in their first four seasons in NFL history, per NBC Sports research.Rams (9-2) at Panthers (6-6): The Rams own the best outright record in the NFC. Carolina has been outscored by 53 points in the aggregate, which is the worst mark by a .500-or-better team through 12 games since the 2019 Raiders, per NBC Sports research.Vikings (4-7) at Seahawks (8-3): Seattle wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has a league-leading 1,313 receiving yards, which is only 290 yards fewer than the entire Jets roster. Minnesota’s three-game losing streak is one shy of its longest under coach Kevin O’Connell.Bills (7-4) at Steelers (6-5): Josh Allen is 4-1 in his career against the Steelers. Buffalo, however, has failed to score 20 or more points in all three of its road losses.Raiders (2-9) at Chargers (7-4): Raiders coach Pete Carroll has never lost six straight games in his career, but his current team is riding a five-game losing streak.Broncos (9-2) at Commanders (3-8): Denver QB Bo Nix has five game-winning drives this season, tied with Chicago’s Caleb Williams for most in the league. Denver has won eight straight games while Washington has lost six consecutive.Giants (2-10) at Patriots (10-2) Monday: When the Giants lost last week in Detroit, it was their fifth time this season blowing a double-digit lead on the road, the most in a single season in NFL history.Andrew GreifAndrew Greif is a sports reporter for NBC News Digital.
