These are the utterly spineless @democrats.senate.gov that capitulated to Trump and the GOP, when they had zero reason to. Because of their cowardly, unconscionable and unacceptable act of betrayal, Americans will die because they won't be able to afford their healthcare premiums. Primary them.
Trump is yet again trying to throw Ukraine and its people under the bus. The future of Ukraine, Europe and the post WWII global world order is at stake. This is NOT in America's interest. Please call your senators.
Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Minority Whip Katherine Clark puts out a stinging statement on the senate deal. "A GOP budget that spikes health care premiums and everyday costs to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a grave betrayal of everyday Americans. That was true in July. It was true in September. And it remains true today."

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

Senators Angus King, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan brokered the deal with the GOP and White House, thereby ignoring the voice of the people last Tuesday and indirectly throwing millions of people off of their health care. DO NOT FORGET.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
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?

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.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

This is barbaric. Children are needlessly dying horrific hunger deaths because Netanyahu is not allowing food to get in. How are these kids bearing the consequences of what Hamas did? How can the Israeli government justify this? www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Gaza's hungry children slide towards starvation as emergency treatments dwindle
The hunger crisis in Gaza is at a tipping point, with critically low supplies of fortified milk and special nutritious pastes exacerbating food shortages and pushing greater numbers of children into starvation, according to aid agencies, malnutrition experts and the United Nations.
