"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

@democrats.senate.gov This is your future. Stick with @schumer.senate.gov? This is your future. Enact change. We’ll see.
Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.
Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

@democrats.senate.gov I'm sure you understand how poorly this looks. If @schumer.senate.gov is still the minority leader by the end of week, the bloodbath at the mid-terms will not only be Republicans but Democrats who have not screamed for change and thus don't belong in Congress. Tick tock.
Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

@democrats.senate.gov Your future as a Democratic Senator is not a certainty.
We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

@democrats.senate.gov Do you honestly think any of you are going to survive? If I’m a borderline potential Democratic Senate candidate for 2026, I’m moving forward.

@democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov You honestly think we’re stupid, really?
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

@democrats.senate.gov This is the way. You’ve shown us you’re not capable. We’ll find someone else.
This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

@democrats.senate.gov 2026 is fast approaching. The capitulation party will not stand. America knows who’s in the Senate. You will be replaced.
Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

@democrats.senate.gov This is not going to sell.
The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

@democrats.senate.gov Once again, you are clueless.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

@democrats.senate.gov Understand a Blue wave is coming. The winners will be your replacements.
These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.
They don't need to be in these positions anymore.
They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.
Demand more and better, folks.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

@democrats.senate.gov are clueless for what Democrats want in their Senators. Once again, an election is coming and apathy will be the rendering factor in why the House and Senate will not flip. We sit back and watch this unfold and wonder are Democratic Senators that out of touch?
80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.
Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

@duckworth.senate.gov Whenever you’re up for re-election I will vote for your opponent. This orchestrated bullshit has sealed it for me. You’re a chain on the neck of the Democratic Party in Illinois. I voted for you in the past. No more.
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social Who’s ever up in 2026 should be primaried and replaced. This orchestrated bullshit is over. Number 1 character for the moment- courage, conviction and grit. Your primary opponents will be demanded to have these character elements. None of you have it.

@schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov You just took the wind out of Tuesday results. Republicans are laughing their asses off right now. How pathetic. Leadership needs to change if there is ever going to be a successful Democratic Party in the future. All you know is how to fuck things up.
I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

@illinoisdems.bsky.social If you put forth a weak candidate to replace @durbin.senate.gov I will vote Republican. This weak individual doesn’t belong in the Senate. He’s ensured that Healthcare will skyrocket because of his culpability. I’m ashamed to live in Illinois. My Senator is worthless.

@durbin.senate.gov You can’t leave quick enough. You’re not a fighter. You’re weak. And you belong no where near Congress. Your legacy will be one of stark weakness. This just confirms I should have not voted for you the last time. @elizabethhernandez.bsky.social
Durbin is trash. Yes, lots of great stuff in the past. Sure he’s a decent guy. But he’s pure trash now. Important to see that the bulk of Team Cave is made up of people who are retiring.
Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”

@schumer.senate.gov You just screwed over Democrats at the midterms. You really are such a loser. No backbone from the Senate. A lot of Democrats at the midterms might even not vote because of your continued capitulation. Republicans have won again and you and the party looks weak.
I'm interested to know what you think about this deal. Please respond below with your thoughts.
Welp, that’s the Senate side of the shutdown over, it seems.
