If it’s the right move why is Schumer voting no and pretending to be against it? Why is Jeffries vowing to fight it in the house? Why are recently elected Dems across the country speaking out against it? Being mad about this isn’t an outsider stance. High ranking Dems are pissed, too.

If they had no leverage as you say, what was the shutdown for? They could have gotten this “deal” 39 days ago.

“We will keep fighting” is a funny thing to say the moment you rolled over and stopped fighting.
November 10, 2025 at 3:41 AM
A great time to go for that is when Dems have leverage, which they just gave up for a promise for a vote.
November 10, 2025 at 3:38 AM
It’s funny that you think Schumer wanted to hold the line.

HE WAS IN ON THE DEAL!
November 10, 2025 at 3:02 AM
Yes, but Chuck Schumer is the current minority leader. He either can’t control his caucus or is in on the coordinated deal. Either way he should be removed from leadership.
November 10, 2025 at 2:56 AM
Any Dem senator not calling for Schumer to be removed from leadership was in on it. He either has no control over his caucus or, more likely, he is playing games to let this bill pass while pretending to be against it. Either way he shouldn’t be leader.

Wasn’t this you? I’m pretty sure it was you:

Health care isn’t negotiable.

We need to both reopen the government and work together to protect access to affordable health care by extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

You should be removed from leadership since you can’t control your caucus. I look forward to voting for whoever primaries you in 2028. Hopefully it will be @aoc.bsky.social but I’ll take anyone.
November 10, 2025 at 2:24 AM
This is ridiculous. People suffered for 40 days for you to get a promise for a vote? That’s it? Why not put the ACA subsidies in the CR right now?

Zeldin was also running in 2022 which was a VERY different environment for a lot of reasons.

Just like Trump, he learned how to cut promos watching pro wrestling. This is the energy Dems need.
