I wrote 300 letters to NV voters to get Cortez-Masto elected.
$0.67 X 300 = $201 of my own money wasted.

Thank you for your vote and your unwavering advocacy, Mr. Sanders of Vermont.
And thank you for convincing other Senators of the folly of trusting the members of the rumpT Fascism Party.

It’s bullshit to say we can’t feed the hungry AND care for the sick. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

We can do both.

This.
Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

Your tax dollars at work in Chicago yesterday
Sen. Smith is short - nothing to gain by conceding.
They’re now taking turns ‘splaining away their treachery & trust in the R’s that cannot be trusted - period.

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.
Thank you.
Stand strong. America’s staring at this issue tonight.
Dear Sen. Smith - please do not let R’s get away with this extortion. Stand strong for our healthcare.
For SURE this will be the “promise” rumpT makes & keeps his word.
Right?

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 😉

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.
