The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Thanks Pete.....! If only we had more like you in politics.
After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

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.

Speaker Johnson has repeatedly said he won’t schedule a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies. So what good is a Senate deal to end the shutdown that hinges on them promising a vote? It would be pointless.

The whole point of Schumer holding out was to obtain guaranteed passage of an extension of the subsidies. What he got was a promise of some future vote on it. The rationale was that you cannot trust these mother fers at all. True! I thought Cavin’ Chuck had learned his lesson by now.

Yes- its been a below the radar problem with focusing on healthcare from the beginning
Wouldn't setting up a meaningless ACA vote give a lot of more-moderate GOP senators an opportunity for a show vote?
Like: 'Sure I voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill, but I also voted for an extension of ACA credits, so don't blame me...'

One of the most important provisions of the ACA was eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions from insurance plans.
Folks need to be reminded that if the ACA goes away, so does that provision.

Democrats ran a variety of candidates in 2025, who tailored campaigns to their constituents—all anti-Trump, but offering different economic specifics based on their locales.
It was a big tent approach and did well with voters everywhere. Presenting that as infighting is an effort to generate drama.

This NYT framing is ludicrously overstated. Sure, there are primaries. But if anything, the results showed a lot of Dems that there's a way to unify the factions around anti-Trump and affordability politics (as I try to argue in the piece/thread below).
