@schumer.senate.gov has never had to struggle for health insurance or for food. As a standalone negotiation, the ACA extensions are dead on arrival. People under HIS direction went rogue and that's on Chuck. If you can't whip votes in your own caucus, you're not a leader, you're a problem.

Chuck Schumer’s no vote on the deal to end the shutdown is irrelevant He couldn’t keep his caucus together or extract assurances from the House-even after Tuesday’s landslide Democratic victories-showing that he’s totally ineffectual as a leader Sadly, millions of Americans will now pay the price

We don’t negotiate for empty promises & an IOU Republicans never intend to deliver on. People need affordable healthcare. Please contact Senate Democrats and tell them to hold the line. @kaine.senate.gov

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

The only political accomplishment out of this for Dems is that when health insurance skyrockets for 22 million Americans in 42 days, it will be clear to even low information voters that Republicans are the ones responsible. Whether that makes all this worth it remains to be seen.

No health care, no deal.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

Media has failed us completely. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/w...

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

Not seen a single House D or potential 2028 D support this. They must be the D's who want a future.

With all respect Sir, this is weak. You had leverage and the momentum from Tuesday and you squandered it. If you can ratchet the pain on GOP senators for the December vote, you may still accomplish something. But you threw away your leverage.

Son of Medina 🙏 None whatsoever finer 🫡

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate. Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis. I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO. Full statement:

This is what Democrats are getting from the deal. Besides the blame for caving on the shutdown. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

RIP

Sad! I was on an NBA for Kamala Zoom call with him last year. RIP, Coach 😢

Oh man.... RIP

RIP Lenny!

End of an era in Seattle. My food truck operation catered his holiday parties for several years. I never met him but our people all said he was a lovely guy

Add @kaine.senate.gov to the list of cowards willing to betray the American people who have stood with Senate Democrats since day one on their promise they would not reopen the government without an extension of the ACA subsidies. Disgusting. Foolish. A slap in the face to all who suffered.

NO DEMOCRATS DON’T CAPITULATE TO A DEAL YOU KNOW YOU WILL LOSE hurting millions who rely on the Affordable Care Act! CALL YOUR DEMOCRAT SENATORS AND SAY STAND UP FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! #Democrats #govtshutdown

Thank you @jamestalarico.bsky.social for making an official statement telling senate Democrats to hold the damn line.

Add @kaine.senate.gov Call and tell him to oppose the deal if you are in Virginia 202-224-3121

CALL THEM NOW INFURIATING I AM CALLING MY SENATOR MARK KELLY NOW Tell YOUR SENATOR DO NOT CAVE

I just received my food delivery that I was able to purchase because I RECEIVED my SNAP benefits today. I sobbed. I didn't expect that reaction. I cried for the relief of having access to food but it was ALSO for the 42M under so much stress and for the MILLIONS who have NOT received their benefits.

RIP Lenny Wilkens - he coached the Sonics to their lone NBA championship (OKC doesn't count) and did great jobs with the Cavaliers, Hawks, and Raptors. Great person. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Trump is in the booth on Fox's NFL broadcast attacking Biden. Woof for all involved.

Hold the line.

Trump just got massively booed and flipped off by the crowd at the Commanders game. (Video: Marisa Schultz)

Obviously someone hit the pause button as they dealt with an emergency! #ConvictedFelonTrump

Why a bunch of Senators who are retiring are leading the negotiations is something to really think on

When you live in a purple state and you overhear folks complaining at the grocery store about what families get with their EBT card...SNAP Moms should be able to get their toddler a small birthday cake ... GMAFB !!!! ... YES I SAID IT LOUD & CLEAR

The Gospel of Professional Christian Mike Johnson:

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

“Once Rep. Grijalva is sworn in and signs the Massie discharge petition, more than 100 Republicans will vote with all Democrats to release the Epstein files to get in front of what's coming.”

Take a moment Republicans say this is fake news No here's the truth By losing their Healthcare subsidies this is what millions are facing Why DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING FOR US This is why DEMOCRATS are holding the line #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

From 👮‍♂️ Eric Adams to 🚙-less Muslim Zohran Mamdani, who’s so anti-Semitic he saved an historical Yiddish bookstore… Yeah, in a New York Minute, everything can change — well, except the built-in police state

Sunday Morning I have a dream This should be an AD all over our Country for the midterms

🚨 Trump is following Project 2025 to starve Americans, kids: Project 2025: "the White House must strongly support these reforms... there would be opposition from left-of-center groups who do not want to reform SNAP and would expand welfare and dependency—such as through universal free school meals"

NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

Precisely this. #TrumpShutdown
