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.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

Critizing corporate Dems who play Vichy isn't "creating a circular firing squad". I will ally with just about anyone fighting fascism. This behavior tonight was a capitulation. It aids the fascists. We should be outspoken in our condemnation of this vote.

Another Illinois lawmaker trashing the vote Durbin just took.
BTW, the House leadership promised to restore funding for DC after the March funding bill passed too… and it never happened.

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

But…those are state charges. They were never federally charged. Nor could they be even if we win in 2028 because the statute of limitations will have expired. But okay.
BREAKING:
Trump has just issued pardons to dozens of conservatives who tried to overturn the 2020 election results, including: Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and more — per pardon attorney Ed Martin.

Please remember, we all have our small measures of power that we loan to our elected reps who govern on our behalf and in our best interest.
Senate Dems have shown they cannot be trusted with that power. They do not represent us, they represent billionaires. So we take our power back.
