Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally. If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Ma dude😍

As they intend.....

The trump admin is following project 2025 guidelines to eliminate SNAP, no matter who suffers. They are right on brand.

Say it!

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Lol! Kids are so great.

I agree. Schumer is responsible for this crap. substack.com/@qasimrashid...

I remember in the spring when they didn't shut down the government so they could get a better deal in the fall.

Once the government reopens, precedent has already been set, if Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected representative from Arizona’s 7th District, someone else will. In Powell v. McCormack (1969), the

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

The American people absolutely deserve and need healthcare. 💯

This right here. The gop does not represent the people. The democrats are allowed to placate us but ALSO DO NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE. THERE ARE TOO MANY SLEEPER CELLS ELECTED AS DEMOCRATS WHO ARE FULLY OWNED BY THE OLIGARCHS JUST WAITING TO BETRAY US ALL OVER & OVER AGAIN.

Those souless fuckers

Absolutely correct

Maybe we make a law that requires public officials to wear their corporate donor information like a race car wrap So we know who to devastate financially At this point the not knowing is inducing trauma on us all

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

The only silver lining to last night’s cave.

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS: “If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

[less than a week after dems sweep elections] chuck schumer: have we tried my same old bullshit?

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

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.

THESE SLEEPER REPUBLICANS!

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Such a good thing

DON'T DO IT!

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

EXACTLY!!

He’s probably at 34% now tops

Louder....

Human fetal tissue research has saved millions of lives and continues to drive biomedical innovation. Restricting it would not alter abortion rates, it would force scientists to discard an irreplaceable research resource for treating devastating diseases.

I'm telling all of you right now. If they reopen our government without the ACA? It's wildcat, general, and economic strike time. Don't spend a dime you don't have to. Don't go to work. If you have to go to work? Work slow. Be passive aggressive as hell. Forget things, doublecheck, be slow.

Call Chuck Schumer! Don't let him do this! 202-224-6542

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.
