Tonight is a glaring reminder that gerrymandering this spineless party into power isn’t a viable fight for democracy.

It further erodes democracy while allowing Democrats in Congress to have even less of a backbone.

Fight for fair maps.
Organize the working class.

I will not only blame the Senate Democrats who are caving. I will blame them all. They needed to keep their ranks in order. If this happens, it's the most spineless political retreat imaginable and it will harm millions upon millions of Americans. Chickenshit, self-neutering nonsense. Cowards.

In the first Trump term GOP Senator John McCain saved the ACA with a "thumbs down" while dying of cancer. These Democrats need to be permanently known as those that are killing the ACA. Trump will be crowing about his win after this because of those spineless Democrats.

8 Democrats capitulated, in exchange for NOTHING! You’d think we had just LOST the election on Tuesday, rather than winning a landslide! Spineless cowards!

Here they are:

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

If the Democrats were a real party and not a bunch of spineless career politician cowards these 8 senators would be ejected tomorrow morning.
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Talking about climate change may be politically radioactive, but adjusting to its effects is no longer optional.

Wow, from a 7 million plus strong No Kings protest to this.

Squandering momemtum is apparently the new Dem gameplan.

Since it’s @scaramucci.bsky.social talking about how Tim Mellon is the “Epstein connection you don’t know about,” I kinda wish I’d made the connection 11 days ago. But alas, it was two weeks ago.

Portland, Oregon - SNAP breakfasts. An 11 year old boy coming to this gentleman's shop saying his family lost their SNAP benefits. He asked for the SNAP breakfast; came by himself. Set up donation page. More than $300,000 donated for free food for those in need

The most dangerous people you can be spending time around at this point, are those who say, "I'll never quit fighting," but then, the moment something "bad" happens...instantly step into, "OMG. We're f*cked. It's all over." These people are like poison to your mind and emotions. Stay away.

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.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
