LESS. THAN. A. WEEK. Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop. I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

Very glad to see that the organization that put me on a blacklist and got me death threats is now partnering with a gun manufacturer

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

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.

What's your favourite book-length urban ethnography?

Tonight was a very bad night.

Bourgeoisie gonna bourgeoisie

To keep the bourgeoisie in power forever! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Millions of people are going to lose their healthcare because too many elected Democrats simply aren’t made for this moment—shameful.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Meanwhile, back in a country that still prosecutes leaders who abuse them...

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

We’re gonna eat you. With forks.

Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

This is a phenomenal long read. The sort of article it's incredibly difficult to get permission and resources to write nowadays.

When you tell centrists Bernie is popular because he is not a Democrat and they roll their eyes at you......

Good job, Democrats!

Ro Khanna calls for Schumer‘ ouster

They literally ruin everything they touch

charlie brown decked out in no kings gear right now

I guess regular working class people are supposed to sympathize with the people who cave the second they might have to work weekends

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Infuriating.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

My friends who work in government have gone into debt to protect people's healthcare, they are being fucking betrayed by wealthy Senators who never stopped getting paid.

Takeover your local Democratic Party

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’m to exhausted from all of this to make the graphic, so someone go ahead and make a 28-3 graphic with the dems as the Atlanta Falcons

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.

remember that old episode of Twilight Zone where the couple are told that if they press this button they'll get $200k but a stranger will die? well the senate democratic caucus is mashing that button over & over just to avoid the possibility that their holiday season flights might get delayed

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.

yeah you guys i am not sure about this deal that the media told you would happen tonight

Dear @schumer.senate.gov, this is who you're surrendering to. NOBODY likes him. Stop this capitulation now.

so much suffering and sacrifice only to to agree to terms that will beget more suffering and sacrifice.

The second that east coast dem leaders have to personally face airline delays they’re ready to throw peoples healthcare under the bus

Even the senators who are retiring and think they won't have to face the wrath of furious Democratic voters should know that their last name is about to become so toxic that not even a goddamn nonprofit is going to want you on the board.

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Marx just chasing the maid around the house and complaining about his penis cysts.

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.

These are the men who determine if you have healthcare.

He's already declaring victory. Elected Dems, you are so stupid.

I think that any D who votes for this deal will not like what's waiting for them when they fly home.

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not
