Democratic senators gave up fighting for 24 million to stay in healthcare, to stop Trump from starving 42 million on SNAP, but Trump is not going to stop trying to starve those 42 million. Because making American working families suffer & die is what brings him joy.

What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.
This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

They already won. Why would they bother to negotiate now?
Meanwhile Squeaker Johnson is busy trying to figure out how to end the shutdown without swearing in the new rep who will sign the discharge petition. Until Trump convinces Nancy Mace to unsign it, this is a big problem for them.
