The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats. Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks. Polls were turning on them. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

NEW EPISODE: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett joins me to break down the GOP’s chaos in the House, the fight over redistricting in Texas, and what these battles reveal about the road to 2026. Sit back and enjoy. youtu.be/W0TZ1WqwIOc?...

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

107% tariffs on Italian pasta imports = great way to reduce grocery prices

If their goal is to pin the blame on a handful of senators who aren't up for reelection until 2030 then you should primary every Democrat regardless.

Just a reminder.

I don't know that I agree that they all caved. But I do agree that some of them took the fall for a larger group of corporate Dems. That's why you have senators who are retiring being willing to vote for this. I wouldn't automatically cheer everyone who voted no. Afterall, Chuck did.

💯

Then why’d you cave?

This weekend, USDA sent letters to states and DOJ submitted filings in court threatening states that fully funded SNAP benefits for November with penalties if the states don’t listen to USDA and “undo” the payments.

Governor Gavin Newsom on Twitter a few moments ago Regarding Democrat Senators who caved Agree with you Governor 💯

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

While a member of the Kansas House, the main legislative effort — not a bill that passed, mind you — of the man who spent his weekend ordering states to “undo” SNAP payments was a bill to put National Rifle Association gun safety courses in Kansas schools. Read about it at Law Dork:

"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end

Well we had massive turnout at the #NoKings rallies followed by a massive blue wave at the elections just 6 days ago, so with Democrats suddenly holding more cards to fight for health care than at any point since January of this year, a handful of those Democrats…caved. I don’t get it.

Ahhh yes. The old Trump guarantee!

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

A little louder for the people in the back: REPUBLICANS AREN’T NEGOTIATING, THEY’RE BULLSHITTING. THEY WONT ENFORCE *ANY* BUDGET BC THEY REFUSE TO HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE. DON’T NEGOTIATE UNTIL THEY DO THEIR JOB AND REMOVE HIM FOR HIS MULTITUDE OF HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.

And if you disagree, explain the row of agency headstones that extends down Pennsylvania Ave in balls-out violation of the Constitution and statutes AND THE LAST BUDGET WE NEGOTIATED WITH THOSE TRAITOROUS BASTARDS.

"Guarantees...know...expect them...if they don't...could very well."

This is beyond belief #AbolishICE

It is embarassing that only a news outlet from the UK has an accurate headline while our local papers keep saying "reports" without specifying a liar made that report. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Primary every Dem Senator that just caved to Trump.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown. There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

After everything, Senate Democrats still haven’t figured out that surrendering to Trump Republicans will end badly? Unbelievable.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

Fair.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

"Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.” —Frederick Douglass, speaking to Senate Democrats

Under Schumer's leadership, eight Democrats (Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, King, Rosen, & Shaheen) joined the Republicans in moving forward a bill to reopen the government without ACA subsidies—Dems' stated key aim—or any other real concessions from the status before the shutdown.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

CURRENT TALLY: YEA 42 NAY 20

All of this

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Primary them all. Mercilessly. Relentlessly. They've got to go.

THANK YOU.

I just want to be able to go to the dentist.

If you want to see how much this will cost you.

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences
