Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.
They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.
Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

This is a bad deal for Americans.
Voters turned out in record numbers last wk to elect Democrats believing they would fight for working families.
We urge Senate Dems to vote NO on the reported GOP budget package, which fails to address the devastating health care crisis.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Or… hear me out… everyone gets free healthcare
Trump’s new health-care proposal — to give insurers’ ACA subsidy money directly to Americans — would require an act of Congress that’s wildly unlikely. (They can’t even agree on much smaller ACA changes.)
But it’s his latest bid to pressure Democrats as shutdown drags.

Obamacare subsidies have been a sticking point for Democrats. The president wants to send the funds directly to Americans, which would require congressional action.

This sounds like Hell & another reason to avoid shopping at Target
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
