Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

Hearing from more people after this went out.

"We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."
I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.

"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

“We kept @schumer.senate.gov informed throughout”

Translation: Schumer quarterbacked it and made sure only Dems not up for re-election voted to cave

When the GOP is cheering for you , you have to know your democratic constituents are not happy! Two horrible choices, but we gave up all the leverage we had. We are spineless! No, I don’t want to see people hurting and both have that outcome! Will the house come back and vote!?

Trump learned a lesson.

When he causes intense pain, enough Democrats will captiulate.

Expect his horrific behavior to get worse going forward.
Because, this behavior was just rewarded, big time.

The deal was good enough for eight Senate Democrats: Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John Fetterman, D-Pa., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Tim Kaine, D-Va., Angus King, I-Maine, Jackie Rosen, D-Nev., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. Primary everyone if we can.

Someone please explain to me how will a vote NEXT month on ACA Subsidies work? Rates are out and up enormously. Will there be a special enrollment period if the subsidies are continued? I mean this is ALL hypothetical anyway, because does anyone really believe that there will be a vote on this? SAD!

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.

Some decry this view as "socialism."

I call it fair.

This right here.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The fact these 8 went above Schumer means this Dem leader has no leadership any more.
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Then you shouldn’t have caved you corrupt lying coward.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Eight democrats just caved to a fascist government and couldn’t stop patting themselves on the back for how they saved us all.

One of them actually said, on a national broadcast, that if the Republicans don’t do what they promised, the whole country will know who is to blame for higher ACA costs.
