Still cannot fathom that these bastards want to cut cancer research. For the life of me, I just cannot understand the cruelty. Can someone explain this to me? I was not raised this way -- most of us weren't. This is pure hell for anyone who has even an ounce of empathy.

This is great news.
Admittedly, I am shocked. Didn't think the Court would do the right thing here. A correct ruling!
Happy to see this first thing on a Monday morning!

Apart from everything else, the logic of it all just astounds me.
Your party gets a clean sweep of the elections a week ago, and your response is “let’s go cave to the people who our entire party hates so much they broke turnout records six days ago?”
What kind of thinking is THAT?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

81% of the Democratic base in a poll last week said Congress should “refuse to approve a budget unless it includes extending these tax credits, even if it means the government remains shut down.” But even 81% of the Dem base is not enough to get all Senate Democrats on board. #Pathetic

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

Yall it hasn't even been a week since Tuesday! You didn't even ride it for a week! I never want to hear a democratic consultant or anyone talk to me about public opinion polls, or votes because apparently none of that mattered tonight.
Actually none of it mattered!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

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.
