I've been vocal in my criticism of both Schumer and Durbin but you cannot point to either Senate Dem leadership or Yes on the CR votes on this map for next years senate races bc they dont exist. Who are they gonna primary?

Ingraham: "Why are people saying they are anxious about the economy?"
Trump: "I don't know that they are saying that. I think the polls are fake. We have the greatest economy we've ever had."

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.

It should not take a court order to know that feeding kids is the right thing to do, yet the federal government continues its cruel effort to cut off food assistance.
Anyone who seeks to punish others for feeding families is not on the right side of history.

Update: this is no longer included in the final funding deal. I'm going to keep fighting to lower premiums and ensure Republicans can’t get away with a backdoor national abortion ban.
Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

elections over so its largely moot at this point, but it was so crazy to watch *months* of ppl on this site create a complete fantasy world where NY Dems (or national Dems!) as a whole loathed Mamdani & were cheering for his defeat. It never happened! NY Dem establishment was largely on board!
not quoting because I don't wanna dunk that hard, but Pelosi never ever forgave AOC for this and allegedly did stimy her. Meanwhile by election day Zohran got every prominent NYC Dem except Schumer on board, got Rodneyse Bichotte giggling while slandering Cuomo too, that was crazy

btw, to point out something that might not be obvious, but they do not have "November and December" to work on this. November is nearly half over and the remaining days the House is slated to be in session in Nov will be for the CR. December has a grand total of 12 days where the House is in session
