The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

For a sitting U.S. senator to say on live TV “standing up to Trump didn’t work” … man, I don’t know

Maybe Angus King wasn’t paying close enough attention:
- public blamed the GOP for shutdown
- Dems won big in elections last week
- Trump’s approval rating sinking
- Republicans increasingly divided against one another

To the 8 Dem senators who took a “trust me, bro” about the ACA from fash trash republicans: 1 in 7 Americans rely on the ACA-you work for We the People, not corporate donor overlords and We the People will not forget those of you who bent the knee and sold us out.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

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

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Keep your racist mitts of non-American cemeteries...shame yourselves, as you are doing, but don't raise our ire. 🍁.
Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

So so so very glad I am not American.

You folks just got screwed by both sides.

💯 Corrupt govt.

Well, maybe the women who has been waiting weeks to be sworn in will now vote on the pedo files. Unless Johnson flat out refuses...

Watching your country implode is messy for us all. Stay home, eh. 🍁

I just called my senators, leaving messages asking them not to vote for any deal to end the shutdown without a deal to extend ACA subsidies. It is shocking to me that they are about to cave without this.
Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

If you live in NH and don’t want this deal it’s time to get on the phones right now.
2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …

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?
