So moderate Dems, likely without the approval of leadership or the rest of the caucus, hung Americans out to dry on healthcare, and there’s no guarantee the House will even take their bill up. Do I have that right?

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

“Listen Barbara, I’ll be at my sister’s until you can get your shit together. Please don’t forget to water the plants.”

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 refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis. And make health insurance affordable. The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too. I'm voting no.

I’m blocking anyone who says Schumer has a strategy. Schumer has strategy like I have a million dollars. Call and yell at him please.

mephitstos. pretending to be a 'little guy' while abetting fascism. bad news for them is that the people don't see a difference in being a fascist and helping the fascists.

Motherfucking Fetterman. I cannot say what I wish upon him, but I’m wishing it SO hard.

This is not a secret, but here's a good write-up from @prospect.org

None of these people should ever know peace.

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.

House Democrats are livid

Even the corporatist Hill reporters are gobsmacked by how complete @schumer.senate.gov's collapse is: "And this does absolutely zero on Obamacare. The most Democrats get is a Senate vote. After 40 days."

JFC how many fucking times must Lucy pull the damn football before you understand they don’t care about a promise?????? Fucking idiots. No wonder Dems have a lower rating than Republicans. Voters showed up Tuesday, proving they are ready for the fight. Senate Dems are like “nah.”

Not minimizing events here or anywhere in the country, but the thing about Chicago is that we spend the winter digging out of the snow. We’re cold from rain, slush, the wind. We trudge around in the darkness & get shit done. We watch our sports teams lose a lot. Perseverance is the default setting 👊🏻

If they weren’t actually going to follow through and fight for healthcare, they shouldn’t have shut down the government. Why put everybody through all of this to accomplish nothing?

so basically they just caved and lost

Jeffries: "These Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA more than 70 different times. They're not acting in good faith in dealing w/healthcare crisis they're visiting on the American people. This is the same group who just enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in history in their big ugly bill."

They should not have fucked over all of our federal employees and hurt so many people for literally nothing.

We watched the new Naked Gun movie last night and if you like the original Airplane! and jokes of incredible density in every sense, you will love this. Liam Neeson plays it as straight as required and there are some magnificently stupid gags.

Just called his Atlanta office and left a message saying exactly this lolsob

🎯🎯

@fetterman.senate.gov You FAILED PA Sin cojones, sin integridad, sin coraje Everyone who votes for this betrays their constituents

They are literally not going to see that the Dems tried. They WILL see that they caved when the government reopens and the Rs start crowing about how the Dems took your healthcare away

me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted should have known better

@meidastouch.com posted this on FB just now: "BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against Trump’s assault on the rule of law" STUNNING. Americans are so screwed.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

I have to assume Chris Murphy is going ballistic rn

Notably Schumer is not one of them BUT a) Durbin is and I don’t think he sneezes without Schumer signing off and b) they feel comfortable going against his leadership so he’s either weaker than we thought or gave the ok

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

Literally texting my fun group chats to be like PLEASE CALL 😩😩😩😩😩

If you’re calling booker tell him this vote would erase that long talk he did

I don’t trust axios but call your senators ASAP. The deal (supposedly) is the promise of a vote in December to maybe extend the ACA subsidies

God I hate you Chuck Schumer

“Sorry I didn’t hit my word count bc senate dems are being feckless cowards again and I was refreshing the timeline to see if my loved ones would be able to afford healthcare or not”

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

We do. And any Dem who votes for this should be primaried.

That’ll be a no from me dawg. Call your local asshole and explain that this ain’t it

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

@fetterman.senate.gov He's fucking right

One click email to all shaky Dems on this shutdown: nwmd.social/s/copylink/4...

@fetterman.senate.gov He's already taking his victory lap That's what you accomplished Meanwhile goodbye affordable health insurance

Whoever votes for this unbelievable bullshit Fuckery should be primaried. That includes you @fetterman.senate.gov !

If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.

I suggest all Americans read this, because we need a good reminder of what the bastard that is called President is. Then we need to ask ourselves is this the kind of society we want, where rich people can freely rape & pillage? I know my answer is NO! What's your America?

@fetterman.senate.gov You failed PA

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits. Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families. It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.
