Yep!

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

“This was a very very bad vote”

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

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.

As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

New York City's CEOs and other billionaires spent more than $40 million trying to defeat the mayor-elect. Now they have to live with him.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be unapologetically pro-democracy. It will never back down. It doesn’t seek compromise or half measures. It has no corporate overlords or venture capitalists. It relies only on you. Support it now. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Whichever high profile Dem announces a primary challenge to Schumer first has the advantage.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake. I voted NO.

Centrists and moderates, what have you done for America lately? Reminds me of the white moderates MLK warned about so many years ago. Just useless.

People are saying there's no upside to this deal. Wait a second. Isn't the end of Chuck Schumer's political career an upside?

Hey Senate Dems, mike johnson said last week he WOULD NOT promise a vote on tax credits!!! Do you know what a bill the passes the senate but doesn't pass the house is called? It's called NOTHING! The republicans wont even hang the January 6th plaque (which is already law) They played you.

Wtf

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Fighting against Trump isn’t enough. It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way. This week was a good start. Here's what else they need to do. https://youtu.be/Uzc57eD3cWI?si=fLGGWBf468q4aacc

correction: they are all retiring, announced or not

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium. It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year. So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

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.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

If Schumer thinks a no vote will absolve him of responsibility, he’s dead wrong. He’s the minority leader. It‘s his job to keep Senate Dems in line — or to hand over the job to someone who can.

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.

Calling what’s coming out of the Senate a ‘deal’ is an insult. It’s caving on millions of people’s healthcare, putting a bow on it, and calling it compromise.

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.

What do you call a leader with no followers? Just a guy taking a walk. He's not just a senator. He's the *leader*. His job isn't his personal vote. His job is to unify and lead his caucus against the regime.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

Very true. Women have not been treated well historically. One would hope and pray that we would learn. NOT YET.

There are podcasts and documentaries on the "modelling" industry that cover a LOT of big names basically fooling young girls from poor families for their own pleasure. Money and power 😣😖🤢🤮

imagine getting shown up by Hakeem fucking Jeffries

Trump spent Sunday spiraling at Mar-a-Lago—ranting, lying, and partying with billionaires while Americans go hungry in his shutdown. Ben Meiselas calls it what it is: a regime built on greed and cruelty. buff.ly/bMJb0Pq

Mike Pence: I don't believe the Constitution affords the President the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs on friend and foe, and I hope the Supreme Court turns that around. Ultimately, American businesses and American consumers pay the tariffs.

My pleasure to share this far and wide…

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare. I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”
