It’s not over. We need to be calling and faxing the 8 Democrats who rolled over and tell them to stop caving on us. Here’s what’s next, from @mrs-frazzled.bsky.social

Democrats are stupid. Why do we support representatives and senators who suck? 8 voted to give fascists the power to take away Americans’ healthcare. Thats not what WE voted for. I don’t care if they call themselves “Democrats.” They voted against Americans. Vote them out #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes Jonathan Chait. Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:
Senate Democrats Just Made a Huge Mistake
The shutdown was hurting Trump. Ending it helps him.

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

They couldn’t let us bask in the joy of victory for even 1 week.

All they gave us was 5 days. Couldn’t even get us to a week of being hopeful. All that goodwill and joy and happiness that maybe the Democratic Party really can do something right, all of it tossed in the trash pile. Sigh…

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Fuck Chuck Schumer.
Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.

He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.

This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

You are the leader. You are responsible for this atrocity. The deal is a shameful vote to serve your corporate donors, NOT the American people. I have friends that cannot afford the increase premiums. They will die.

Nothing thanks Americans for standing by Democrats on Election Day quite like @schumer.senate.gov and his wealthy Senate Democrat pals surrendering to Trump’s demands. #GutlessSenateDemocrats

Senate Reaches Deal To Reopen Government After Moderate Democrats Cave
Republicans found enough Democrats willing to drop their party's demand to extend soon-to-expire health care subsidies for millions of people.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

There is no deal the Republicans will honor. I repeat: THERE’S NO DEAL THE REPUBLICANS WILL HONOR! Whatever deal they make trump will withdraw or withhold funds to implement. It’s like they think they’re negotiating in good faith or something.

This “deal” is a surrender that all congressional Democrats should reject out of hand. It’s bad policy that will raise healthcare prices and bad politics that gives the regime more power to do more harm. Make no mistake: As some Senate Democrats consider surrender, Republicans are losing this fight.
🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

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.

I swear, Democrats are like Charlie Brown. They always get the football yanked out from under them but NEVER fucking learn. Do not negotiate with the fascist GOP!!! Make them fix it #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue
Made my calls to Booker and Kim.

You can leave a message even when their offices are closed.

Flood the lines.

No cave on ACA subsidies. Fund them or keep the government shut.
