The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

Truth. Yet Schumer pledges: "We will keep fighting." No.

We fought and won battles for them on Tuesday, only to be betrayed on Sunday.

We the people (and some of us a lot more than others) are tired of being betrayed by corporations, media, and the representatives who don't represent us.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

I'm real real close to feeling like we can't ever know who these 8 took the fall for, so maybe we should just throw them all out and start from scratch.

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

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.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:

1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

More Senate Dems than will vote yes tonight actually want to vote yes.

They’re letting colleagues who aren’t under threat of being primaried serve in the role of rotating villain and take the heat—and they’ll make statements claiming they’re against caving.

LOTS of disingenuous political theater.

"For procedural reasons Justice Jackson had to issue the stay, I'm sure her legal reasoning was sound...."

PEOPLE. ARE. STARVING. Can they eat the rules of procedure? No? THEN FEED THEM.

The purpose of a system is what it does. And if the rules of procedure allow people to starve, they're wrong.

Serious question: does there come a point where everyone admits that Constitutional originalism is just a made-up vibe-based philosophy that gives Republican judges a pretext for ruling however it is that Republicans want them to rule?

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

This is an attack on every veteran who served with honor.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are going to shut down the United States government so they do not have to release the Epstein files.

Shutting our government down, hurting Americans, to protect pedophiles.

How this isn’t the biggest scandal in American history is beyond me.

Just a reminder: democrats can’t shut down the government. Republicans hold the majority.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin.
