Republicans cheered taking away health care from over 17 million people.
They cheered giving huge tax breaks to a handful of billionaires & increasing the national debt by $3.5 trillion.
I’m angry. But we stay in the fight — not because it’s easy, but because it’s the right fight.

I missed this awful detail in the Senate deal: helping politicians who conspired against America as part of Trump's coup hide their phone records.
That's right, as ICE brutally violates rights in ways that leave people with no recourse, the Senate found time to protect their colleagues from justice.

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

This.
If Schumer thinks a no vote will absolve him of responsibility, he’s dead wrong. He’s the minority leader. It‘s his job to keep Senate Dems in line — or to hand over the job to someone who can.

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.

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet.
If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator.
The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.
We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.
It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.
