We were *this close* to protecting affordable healthcare. 212 House Democrats and 38 in the Senate stood strong. But 8 broke faith with us. They caved to MAGA cruelty. We’re not asking them to flip—we’re telling them they failed the people who trusted them. 📞 (202) 224-3121

Chris Murphy nailed it after last night's vote: "There's no way to sugarcoat what happened tonight. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting."

Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress.
It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.
A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social proposed to end the shutdown in exchange for a 1 yr extension of ACA tax credits & a bipartisan committee to resolve the health care affordability crisis. Senate Republicans immediately said no because they only care about billionaire tax breaks 🧵

Brace yourself: 40 major airports—including LAX, LaGuardia ＆ O’Hare—will slash flights by 10% as the #GOPHealthCareShutdown grinds the FAA to a halt. 4,000 flights a day disrupted. Air traffic controllers unpaid, exhausted ＆ calling out. GOP chaos is crashing the country.

When your flights are cancelled this month, remember, Republicans could end the shutdown by making healthcare more affordable. They could decrease the demand on air traffic by making the ultra wealthy fly commercial. But the Republican House isn’t even in session.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.
People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s a war on working families’ health and wallets.

In Fitchburg, MA, ICE grabbed a father by the neck so violently he went into a seizure—his arms locked around his toddler as bystanders screamed for them to stop.
The thugs in uniform ripped the child from his grasp, handcuffed him, and threw him in an ambulance.
