This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

It’s never a fair fight when you’re forced to legislate with evil, soulless bastards.

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

I can no longer afford health care. If I get sick I'll die rather than saddle my family with 100s of 1000s of dollars in debt.

Republicans did this, and weak Democrats did this.

We were ready to fight. We were ready to feed our neighbors. We can provide food but but we can't provide health care

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I think compromise is key in any successful relationship. However, if you were going to cave with no deal on what you demanded, then you hurt the American people for nothing. 👎🏻

Our political system is fundamentally broken. It was not designed to represent the will of the people and it is incapable of doing so today.

The people don't want a king. The people don't want Democrats to surrender. The people don't want only two parties.

The people don't want any of this.

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.

Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.

Endless projection. I hate him.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

📌How could ANY Democratic senator who watched what happened Tuesday night, and then surrender to the party they battered just five days later?

Because they are public servants who serve their private interests.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

"Just wanted to point out that Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is quite possibly the most vulnerable Senator in America right now and tonight, he voted no on this deal.

We need people in leadership that can own up to responsibility like this
I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium.

It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year.

So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.
Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.

Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.

Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."
