@sanders.senate.gov: "The message that came out last night is that some Democrats (remember, 47 people in the caucus, 8 voted, a small minority) that all over the country, people say, 'Stand up, fight, fight.' We had No Kings rallies, 7 million people coming out. And last night was a setback."

The promise of a vote on ACA subsidies is not enough.

Reconsider your votes.
As a federal employee, none of the 'protections' is new/ solid. The law protects backpay, the Oct RIFs were reversed by courts, a 2 mo pause is irrelevant in face of the lawlessness.

Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well
"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

You failed. Enjoy retirement.
The health insurance Marketplace is open. Americans, who are already facing a cost of living crisis, are seeing drastically higher, unaffordable premiums. With millions of people counting on us, it’s time to extend these tax credits.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.
Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

Dems just won a major set of elections, and Republicans are taking the blame for the shutdown according to polling. So why would we cave and give Republicans everything they want with no concessions? Would be such a waste of energy, taxpayer dollars, and political will. Please reconsider. #democrats
