This is amazing. Wish we were Australia. electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Thank you Maricella 💙

Your interview had a passive admission that you think that the appearance of your future vote is more important than actually protecting the people that this will devastate. You should be ashamed. This is on you.

Your deal guarantees a vote that you know republicans will use to end healthcare for millions. Showing people that you vote against that does not help the millions that will lose coverage. Many people will die. You had the chance to force them to continue the ACA. You caved. YOU OWN WHAT IS TO COME.

What did you get Senator? Because what you gave up will devastate millions of lives.

You rock Maricella.💙

Folks, many are posting phone numbers to call the senators that caved and sold us out. You can also inundate their social media and tell them exactly what you think. @kaine.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov

My statement on the funding deal to reopen government, protect federal employees, and vote to protect health care:

wtf

In other words, COWARD.

The ACA isn’t a talking point—it’s life and death. And 8 Senate Democrats chose politics over people. The anger is real. The disappointment is deep. You failed the ones you swore to protect. 📞 (202) 224-3121

Welp. Your insurance premiums are now completely unaffordable, regardless if you’re on the exchange or not. And there is nothing anyone is going to do about it since Senate Democrats shit the bed so hard that stench will never come out. But at least #GrindrMike will be forced to #SwearHerIn now.

If my Grandma had not been denied insurance, she might have lived longer in dignity. Bless this judge.

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.

Any food which has gotten to poor families the states must send agents to reclaim the food before it is eaten or face new federal penalties

The gratuitous cruelty of profoundly damaged people.

I’m calling up some senate democrats. What should I say? I know what I want to say but I’m gonna have to tone it down so I’m taking other ideas.

🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen. Flood the lines. Call your Senators. ☎️ (202) 224-3121 🧵1/2

Gift Article: "Tony Fabrizio, Trump’s longtime pollster, had released a survey of competitive House districts showing that letting the tax credits expire might be lethal to Republican efforts to hold the House. Why were Democrats fighting so hard to neutralize their best issue in 2026?"

Who feels politically-homeless today? Who is an angry Democrat?

It all goes back to Project 2025. #USDemocracy

tRump is making fools of Americans, especially his followers 😡 He IS involved in the Epstein scandal and everything he is doing is in an effort to distract from the Epstein files. tRump will do anything to prevent that, including pardoning a certified pedophile... #ReleaseEpsteinFiles

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

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved: ⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto ⚫️ Dick Durbin ⚫️ John Fetterman ⚫️ Maggie Hassan ⚫️ Tim Kaine ⚫️ Angus King ⚫️ Jackie Rosen ⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

I feel just crushed if the pain this shutdown has caused was all for nothing.

Congress shouldn’t be paid during a government shutdown go.bsky.app/36UAXEe

Kaine thinks showing what side democrats are on is more important than actually extending the ACA. He is telling us he doesn’t care that the ACA will end, because he will vote for it and lose at a later date. THIS is the problem. They don’t want to solve problems only the appearance of solving…

The people who caved are not up for reelection for many years. Schumer and the eight who caved betrayed the party and its people. Morally, betrayal is as bad as what the GOP is doing. They damaged the credibility of the Dems and it cannot be restored. We need new options.

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Oh, and as if the bill wasn’t bad enough, the GOP slipped a nationwide abortion ban on the CR. So is that gonna go through as well?

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

www.cnn.com/2025/11/09/p... A group of Democrats and one Democratic-aligned independent have caved. They say they have secured a vote on the Affordable Care Act subsidies at the center of the standoff.

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

In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party. In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

I'm going to make so many calls this week I hope my phone burns its circuits out because it got so hot. Consider doing the same. Have a sensible "script" written out...so you make sense, but do it while you're pissed off. It feels better, and the person taking your message WILL feel your intensity.

Schumer and the Senators who caved betrayed the People. We need Democratic Socialists to primary them all - and a national strike. Blue states must unite and form their own "Medicare for All." No more taxation without representation.

I’m beginning to question the system all together😔

Never, ever believe republicans
