Again: This entire shutdown fight is one big advertisement for #MedicareForAll Making a broken system less bad is not a real answer and never was.

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about. What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars. We're paying for the torture of children. I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

Time to swear in Adelita Grijalva, let her cast the final vote to release the Epstein files!

Everything's working out great!

The 8 Senate Dems who caved on affordable healthcare: Fetterman-PA (reelection in 28) Cortez Masto-NV (reelection in 28) Hassan-NH (reelection in 28) Rosen-NV (reelection in 30) Kaine-VA (reelection in 30) King-ME (reelection in 30) Durbin-IL (retiring) Shaheen-NH (retiring)

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly. A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here. U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

I left a message for Senator Warner and Senator Kaine’s phones are all off and his form online is not working. I honestly just said how disappointed I was in this whole thing because you’re trying to get nothing. I’ve been out of work for almost 40 days and you ain’t getting shit for it?

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

How is it that air traffic controllers don’t come under the same essential services funding as ICE goons? I mean, I know there’s a technical reason, but come on.

Current emotional state.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

'Who Does That?': Schiff Rips Trump For Fighting To Cut Off SNAP Benefits

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

They put Israel before Americans

Any constituent who has said that to her is either a MAGAt or is brain dead. Anyone of even moderate intelligence who's been paying even minimal attention to the failure of Republicans to govern under Trump wouldn't think that, let alone say it! @shaheen.senate.gov, stop blaming your voters for it.

Sure 👍 bsky.app/profile/atru...

And @shaheen.senate.gov then YOU say “I’m sorry, I can’t work together with Republicans who passed a Big Ugly Bill to double & triple your health care premiums without ever even consulting me. I will play hardball with them now that they need my vote.” See, it’s easy.

Seven MILLION of us marched and all you did was lie down. We have been BETRAYED and we will not forget. You weak fool…. How’s it feel to be LOATHED and REVILED? You just burned down any legacy you might have built and the Republicans will continue to laugh and destroy the Constitution.

Trump is now telling states to “UNDO” food assistance He’s literally taking food from hungry Americans as he throws Gatsby parties with giant seafood towers

Senator.. please DO NOT CAVE the papers (Republican sources) are saying you are planning to vote for Thune’s bullshit minibus— NO!! bsky.app/profile/acyn...

How dare you go on @meidastouch.com and act like a fighter for your constituents, then cave on healthcare. Disgusting fake.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) You dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. Shame.

Yet here we are. You just completely embraced his cruelty. For nothing. All that momentum, the election last week, through the frustration, the fear. Unbelievable.

ICE out of Target! The Target on Peterson Ave in Chicago allows CBP & ICE to park in its parking lot and arrest people.

This is an actual photo of Senile Satan leaving Florida today. They forgot to close the trunk.

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue My Senator, #JonOssoff, is up for reelection in ‘26. His seat is considered the most vulnerable. He just voted “No” on the CR bill, perhaps risking his political future. The kind of courage and selflessness we’d need more of in the Democratic Party.

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.

I'm so pissed. King, Shaheen, and Hassan put this together behind our backs. And Kaine, Cortez-Masto, Fetterman, Rosen, and Durbin went along with it.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not. This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Did you get your new healthcare premium notice yet? “Medicare for All” is starting to sound real good to a lot of folks who didn’t want to talk about it before. Same page now!

NEW: It appears Senate Dems have enough votes for cloture with Jacky Rosen flipping to a yes vote. Rand Paul voted no. Kaine, Rosen, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassen, King, Durbin, Cortez-Masto are the dems yes votes.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

The 8 Democratic caucus members who voted Yea (final list) on the government shutdown cave to coercion: edition.cnn.com/2025/11/09/p...

Your tax dollars at work in Chicago yesterday

Fight don’t fold.

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.

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.

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

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."

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen
