““The reality is the government was shut down the first day Trump entered office. We just didn't talk about it that way.” Only leverage Democrats have is power over appropriations and we (blame Schumer) screwed that up. We should have forced his resignation as leader after the Feb/Mar fiasco.
Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

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.

These morons have learned nothing from the Obama years in office. Republicans lie & don’t give a fuck about regular people.
Republicans only work to make themselves and their donors wealthier. That’s it, nothing else. Every Democrat that has failed this moment must be replaced in 2026 & 2028

The fight for healthcare right now can’t end with ACA subsidies. It HAS TO BE bigger. Too many Americans are suffering over medical debt and spiraling costs.
It should be nothing short of Medicare for All.

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.

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.

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

If you want to solve the housing crisis, you will pass a law that hedge funds cannot buy single-family homes, and that they have to divest existing assets over the next 5 years (at least 20% per year).
