Americans deserve better than the eight Democratic Senators who voted on a promise, without a guarantee, to protect the Affordable Care Act.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

Fetterman, you're done. We the people of PA didn't elect you to be the turncoat that you proved yourself to be today.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

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??

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Oh, so he totally stole the money

Jeffries is whipping NO votes in the House on the shutdown deal. From Jake Sherman at Punchbowl:

Once the government reopens, precedent has already been set, if Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected representative from Arizona’s 7th District, someone else will. In Powell v. McCormack (1969), the

“This was a very very bad vote”

Absolutely correct

He had already indicated…CLEARLY…where he stands.

Bring on the Progressives. Boot out the establishment. I am so sick of them.

The only silver lining to last night’s cave.

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.

fresh off caving, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is going on Fox & Friends

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

The American people absolutely deserve and need healthcare. 💯

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Sanders: 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.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

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

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Who benefits from 50 year mortgages: banks, developers, realtors, estate lawyers. Who gets screwed: everyone else.

DO NOT CAVE!

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

So Nice To See Democratic Women Getting The Votes and Respect They Have Earned......

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This is going to be a shitshow, so we need to remind each other to be patient and kind. TSA has been working without pay. 📌 The FAA announced major restrictions that experts say could lead to thousands of flights being canceled as the government shutdown drags into day 37.

Now THAT’S a Project I can support!! 👊

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?
