As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state. I’m urging my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stand up for Americans who are counting on us to lower their costs, and address…

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.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year. All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

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

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.

The 20 MILLION people who rely on ACA credits don’t need a show vote in December. They need help now, while they decide whether they can buy insurance & pay the mortgage next year. Being a patsy for Republicans doesn’t burnish your moderate bonafides. It only makes you look stupid & weak!

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

No guarantees but folks are going hungry.

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.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social DO NOT CAVE. YOU WILL LOSE OUR SUPPORT FOR MIDTERMS! REPUBLICANS LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED-EVER!

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

Call your senators. Let them know how you feel.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Senate Democrats are about to sell us out. Remember that when they text you for money.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own garbage policies.

let me just say Harry Reid would NEVER have allowed this

Hey Senate Democrats, Do not cave! Call your Democratic Senators! Call purple state Senators!

This isn’t a deal, it’s an outright surrender. @schumer.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Tim Kaine is a fucking coward. There is no excuse to support a deal that gives Dems nothing but a promise of a vote on healthcare.

I fucking hate Schumer and the rest of the feckless lot. As a lifelong Democrat, I’m done.

🖕 @schumer.senate.gov you’re done Senate Majority Leader John Thune is promising Senate Democrats a vote in December to extend ACA subsidies that are due to expire at the end of the year short of Congressional action.

Thank you sweet Lauren @ltwlauren.bsky.social @gentlem.bsky.social @shelbienameless.bsky.social @boxdonkey17.bsky.social @knighthawk899.bsky.social @sassysister27.bsky.social @filosia.bsky.social @bostonbitch.bsky.social @pattyger.bsky.social @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social

🔥CALL YOUR SENATORS ASAP!!!🔥 USE RESIST BOT - text RESIST to 50409 🔥CALL YOUR

Who are the 10 vile Senate Dems caving to MAGA to end the shutdown? Who are they? share.newsbreak.com/fuk4nzyv?s=i16

To @schumer.senate.gov and every Democrat in Congress. Don't give in! America is depending on you all. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake. The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

I’ve read this proposed cave of a deal and it is WRONG FOR AMERICA. Repubs want Dems to vote for a bill without health care subsidies in exchange for a “promise” Repubs will bring them back up for a vote later. DO NOT TRUST THESE LIARS! NO DEAL!!!!!

Senator Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats, said as he headed into the meeting that “it would be a policy and political disaster” to vote to reopen the government without a guarantee. Source: The New York Times

He needs to hear from each of us, right now. @schumer.senate.gov 1-202-224-6542

Schumer needs to go NOW! Everyone knows republicans cannot be trusted. They will open the government and screw over the country. This weakness is why democrats are hemorrhaging support.

Vote “NO” @democrats.senate.gov // @schumer.senate.gov

I just called and left messages for Arizona Senators Kelly (D) and Gallego (D) telling them that if they cave without a guarantee of ACA subsidies they are going to lose their entire base in one fell swoop.

@democrats.senate.gov DON’T YOU DARE CAVE! We are sick and tired of you bailing on us. We can’t count on you but the Republicans can always count on you to choose cowardice. Every damned one of you up for election in the midterms WILL BE PRIMARIED!!

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, do not give a goddamn inch. You're playing with our lives.

If they do this—if they cave with nothing—it will be a historic blunder. It will hand Trump a major win and embolden/allow him to further consolidate power. It’s unconscionable political malpractice.

Either this will be done with Schumer’s blessing or Schumer can’t keep control of Senate Democrats. Either way, it’s clear he cannot lead and should retire. And retire immediately if the Dems cave in and only get a “promise” of a vote on the ACA credits sometime in. December.
