The only silver lining to last night’s cave.

I’m not surprised that they caved, but I am surprised that they waited until after gaining electoral momentum to do it.

I’d like to point out that Senator Jon Ossoff, the most vulnerable Dem. senator, who is up for election next year, voted no. That is the sort of leadership, integrity & grit our country deserves. youtu.be/P3dsjriumYQ

• Tim Kaine – VA – Up 2030 • Jeanne Shaheen – NH – Retiring 2026 • Angus King – ME – Up 2030

None of the Dem Senators (or Democratic-caucusing) who voted yes on the CR are worried about reelection: • Dick Durbin – IL – Retiring 2026 • Catherine Cortez Masto – NV – Up 2028 • Jacky Rosen – NV – Up 2030 • John Fetterman – PA – Up 2028 • Maggie Hassan – NH – Up 2028 1/2

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest. They don't need to be in these positions anymore. They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage. Demand more and better, folks.

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me… What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head? Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

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.

Paul Managort is still at it: Financial disclosures show Trump-world consultants Chris LaCivita, Tony Fabrizio, and Paul Manafort were paid over $1.6 million to advise Albania’s conservative Democratic Party in its failed May elections…

AGREE! It’s a Lucy Football situation.

Barack Obama is not making royalties on the ACA, commonly known as Obamacare. The ACA is a federal law, and former presidents or government officials do not receive royalties or any form of direct payment from legislation they sign into law. Also, President reposted a post from a satirical website.

Birds of a feather…

I wonder if they even know what they did to themselves???

Trump’s imaginary “$2000 tariff dividend stimulus checks” explained by one of his fluffers…

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.

Dems held out for 40 days for nothing?

A small group of moderate Senate Dems agreed to proceed with opening Gov. without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies. Needless to say, it pissed off rest of Dems and all of us outside of the Senate! 😡😖

If Schumer thinks a no vote will absolve him of responsibility, he’s dead wrong. He’s the minority leader. It‘s his job to keep Senate Dems in line — or to hand over the job to someone who can.

It should be that simple.

Simple.

Do you know how used we all feel for turning out on Tuesday in record number just to watch Dems cave tonight on a Sunday when we can't weigh in? To hear the gloating next week from Trump? Schumer votes no after he got the yes votes Thune needed. He needs to resign as leader, or I won't vote again.

No health care, no deal.

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.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

This is BRUTAL. Trump LOUDLY BOOED at the Commanders game. America lets him know exactly how they feel — to his face.

It’s hard to blame the SNAP benefits on Democrats when Senile Satan has gone to every court available to stop them.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

#TN07: Aftyn Behn's race could unlock full Epstein files! House Republicans blocking Rep. Grijalva shows they're protecting their own. Accountability is key. Let's make it happen. Vote @aftynbehn.bsky.social #tennessee

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

The claim originated on a satirical news site called the “Dunning-Kruger Times.”

DO NOT CAVE!

Federal prosecutors allege Clase and Ortiz received thousands to throw specific pitches during MLB games in a scheme that began as early as 2023.

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.
