Why does Chuck Schumer keep acting like this is normal times where you can talk to rational people and make a deal? It doesn’t matter what deal he makes with the other senators. If Trump doesn’t approve it, they don’t go along with it. And he’s not rational.

Sure, some wild-eyed leftists like [check notes] Nate Silver and Matt Yglesias think Democrats were winning the shutdown and shouldn't have caved....

It's a very apt metaphor and I wish people would realize a big part of the reason leftists complain to Dems more is because they still believe, perhaps foolishly, that there's a SLIGHT CHANCE they'll care! About anything! Anyone!

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

House Democrats will not give up the fight for affordable health care.
We will not rubber stamp Republicans' extreme premium hikes.
We will not help them fund billionaire tax cuts with your money.
We will not back down.
Not now. Not ever.

Someone check my vitals! I just found myself agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her willingness to break from the herd and stand with Epstein's victims, especially in direct conversations with Trump, warms my cynical old heart.

So senile and incompetent he can no longer remember all of his lies:
Remember when we warned you about #Project2025 and
#DonaldTrump said he knew NOTHING about it? Well, now he is finally admitting that the #HeritageFoundation is essentially running the Federal Government. Everything that is happening and that will happen is already laid out

Perhaps it's time for us to give Democrats some help. Parties once had platforms. We should write one, vote on it here using a poll/survey app, rank results & present it to the DNC in an easily digestible format with supporting data. What are OUR priorities for saving and restoring our nation?

Can we deport Ghislaine Maxwell back to the UK? They at least know what to do with child sex traffickers and abusers. They don't make them kings and they don't give them special treatment by sending them to a minimum security prison.

We had all the momentum
•The American people were blaming Republicans
•A landslide Democratic victory
•Courts ordering Trump to fund SNAP benefits
Yet you couldn't convince your caucus to fight for us
It's the final straw that breaks the back of your tenure as leader, Senator

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

This bill doesn’t address the core issue that millions of Americans will no longer be able to afford ACA insurance coverage next year. I’m willing to work with anyone to create a path forward but this isn’t it.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Not that HSA instead would make this all that much more functional but an FSA infusion means funds that expire at the end of the year *and* cannot be used for premiums

These are the 8 Democratic (or caucusing with Dems) Senators voting to advance a funding bill that FAILS to extend ACA tax credits 👇
Eight was exactly the number needed to advance the bill.
Chuck Schumer did NOT vote for this bill, said “We will not give up the fight.”

Just a reminder that after the “Schumer Surrender” in March, 82% of our group leaders in New York (and 91% of our group leaders nationwide) voted to call for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. 👇
🧵 The passage of this dangerous Republican funding bill is a travesty. The ongoing administrative coup led by Donald Trump and Elon Musk is a constitutional crisis. The authoritarians stripping away our rights and trying to loot the government to enrich the billionaires are a five-alarm fire.

Note that you cannot pay health insurance premiums from an FSA, so this does nothing to help people pay for their plans whose premiums are skyrocketing for lack of subsidies extension.
