These senators may never face voters in an election again, but if they live in this country I hope the voters they betrayed will never let them forget the terrible consequences of their actions.

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.

We spent months working to rebuild the Democratic brand in the eyes of young voters who wanted leaders who'd fight for them.

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.
