Let’s be clear: this is class warfare.
Tens of thousands of working-class Americans are going to die because of this “deal.”
Real people. Real deaths. For another tax break for the rich.
Those who voted for it — Republicans and Democrats — are on the side the 1%, fighting against the rest of us.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

"Donald Trump is willing to cancel flights at Thanksgiving and starve American citizens in order to deprive people of affordable health insurance" was a winning message for the Democrats. The polls and Tuesday's elections proved it. But they flinched, behaving as though winning was losing.
