I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

This summer our family went to Armenia. We took our great grandfather’s poem documenting the massacres of Armenians in Adana in 1909–the prelude to the Armenian genocide—to the Armenian genocide museum. It underscored the lesson—never again for anyone. armenianweekly.com/2025/11/04/t...
The poem goes home
Our great grandfather hadn’t crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 112 years — but he was about to. Maybe not all of him, but a piece of him: a poem he had written after his family was massacred and he was dr...
