they have never *not* betrayed everyone. using the word "if" here reveals just how either a) naive and unsuitable for office you are or b) complicit (and unsuitable for office) you are.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

It's a total collapse by Democrats.
- Extending the House CR until Jan. 30
- They would include that w 3 appropriations bills (Vets-MilCon, Ag, Leg Branch)
- The key cloture vote (the one with the 60-vote threshold that needs Democrats) tonight

both of my parents used 5 calls for the first time in their lives yesterday
The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, “we won’t forget.”

Another educated and well-read smart guy who has tricked himself into believing he innately knows better than everyone else. The way he keeps using the word "derivative" in a fatuously quasi-mathematical way is the biggest tell.

The obvious thread: "None are up for reelection in 2026."
They were handpicked by @schumer.senate.gov to take the heat for the rest of the caucus, which unified behind caving.

Remember that Democrats moved the goalposts to ignore all of Trump's fascism except for his decision to let ACA premium subsidies expire
Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, demolishing the White House, and blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies
Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care
Trump: No
Schumer: Okay

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Democrats negotiated a plan where a 8 completely safe dems would vote to open and the rest can post “i voted no” thats what all the negotiations were about: how they would explain the optics of the loss. it was never about saving healthcare

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
