We’ll be forced to drop ours. I’m self-employed in a small biz getting nailed by tariffs, too. I hate trump. He’s ruined everything in my life. I even used to have rights to my own body. Guess I just gotta get used to being grabbed by the pussy. Oh well.

Similar horror story here. We have a major surgery in our family coming up and have to decide whether to be financially devastated now or later.
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

I don't care how Schumer himself votes. The bottom line is that as Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon Johnson would have last night had on his desk eight sealed mason jars with the severed hands of every senator who even thought about raising them to vote yes. As a majority leader should.

As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach.
Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

House Republicans torpedoed Republican Senator Murkowski on the BBB, but, sure, Republicans will definitely come to the table for Senate Democrats.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

For coming from a party that loves to crow about supporting small business, Trump’s cuts to the ACA are the biggest attack on small business people imaginable

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.

I have been a registered independent since I first voted in November 1988. If the Senate Ds cave and get no meaningful gains on ACA tax credits, I will change registration this coming week so I can vote against Schumer in next summer’s primary. Also for Gillibrand’s primary opponent in 2030.

Just called and emailed both of my senators’s offices and left voice messages.
I doubt Senators Gillibrand or Schumer will be moved by a last-minute flood of contact, but they’ll grasp the scope of public outrage. This should provide insight when their primary challenges are robust in ‘30 and ‘26.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.
Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.
