Great job, everyone.

The dangers of what Trump is proposing for health care, from my daughter.

"Oh gosh, wow, 8 rogue Dem senators, the exact number of votes Republicans needed to reopen the government, voted yes. I, Chuck Schumer have nothing to do with that" is such obvious BS.

Exactly this.

“This capitulation is a sad dereliction of duty.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-s...

I just sent this to that dipshit Dick Durbin's office.

I really hate how Trump refers to everything as a "hoax." The "Democrat Shutdown Hoax?" The government was shut down. It wasn't a "hoax." Demented shithead.

"Go on, human, ask me anything. Except basic math stuff. And putting things in sequential order. And don’t do any made-up riddles to mess with me. Real riddles ONLY."

… Shaheen’s daughter (running for congressional seat) is against her mom’s deal to end the shutdown:

No coincidence.

So Dems lost Matt Yglesias, Chris Cillizza, Jonathan Chait, and—now—Ezra Klein. That’s how bad their decision to cave is.

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

This was orchestrated. These particular 8 members are just too coincidental not to be another coordinated targeted attack on the American people.

How. In. The. World. Does. A. Senator. Go. On. National. Television. And. Say. This.

Republicans pinky swear. Eight Democrats fall for it. They traded some short-term holiday cheer for Project 2025's anti-science, anti-data, anti-woman, and anti-medicine agenda to infiltrate healthcare if they uphold their promise in December.

I don't care how Schumer himself votes. The bottom line is that as Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon Johnson would have last night had on his desk eight sealed mason jars with the severed hands of every senator who even thought about raising them to vote yes. As a majority leader should.

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

These are the eight who are responsible for your healthcare premiums increasing. Vote them all out if they're running again. They need to slink away along with Schumer.

It's time for Chuck Schumer to read the handwriting on the wall. We need new blood in Democratic leadership. He needs to GTFOOTW and make room for someone who will actually fight for the people. 👎

Van Hollen would make a.nice Senate leader for the Dems.

This pile of flap meat has more spine than Chuck Schumer

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.

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.

I would love to understand tactically and strategically why in a week of electoral victories senate Democrats are tempted to cave on the shutdown without anything to show for it.

But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

All of this

This Senate deal is political malpractice. Americans like me will be burdened with health insurance that is not affordable. If the Democrats doing this deal think that it is for voters like me, they are wrong. What a failure of imagination and leadership.

America is in a fight for its very survival. And the leaders of the Democratic Party in the US Senate are just not up to the challenge. Time to turn the page on them. With prejudice.

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.

If Schumer is voting no, then who put this deal together?

I am amazed by the people who don't think this is going to further radicalize the left. Talk about not reading the room at all.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office. Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Flood the phones: (202) 224-3121 Tell Chuck Schumer to grow a spine and hold the line… There should be no deal that leaves working families behind.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

yeah ok we're all still rumor-mongering here but if this is what's actually happening i want everyone involved destroyed

This what Republicans want to replace ACA subsidies with. Healthcare is complicated enough and this will bankrupt people even more than we currently see.

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.

Every Senate Democrat - pay attention to this. You are caving to the most hated man in D.C. Don't wind up like him.

Trump getting booed at the Commanders game

no one has ever been better than chuck schumer at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Call your senators. NOW.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Another day in WTF is happening.

The criminals are the agents doing this to law abiding U.S. citizens. An Iraq war vet too.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️
