Maybe the Senate Spineless Caucus should have been more careful before voting for this bill

Note that she's not blaming the Democrats who doomed us to this outcome yesterday.

We already know every Senate Republican is trash.

But we're SUPPOSED to be supported by our own D senators.

But they screwed us.

Murray isn't addressing that. Plank in your own eye, etc.
We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Republicans just don't care about your health care.

Not a single Democratic Senator who voted NO on surrender with strongly worded posts, statements, emails, videos etc has publicly called on Schumer to resign as the Leader of the Democratic caucus. It’s telling. They are all mostly cowards - followers of public opinions instead of being leaders.

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.

If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

The reason the Dems get away with “don’t blame me, those 8 voted for it” is because there are people who genuinely believe that’s how things work. It’s incredibly depressing.

festerman being one of the undertakers of the hemp trade is extremely funny given his political history. Maybe the stroke also destroyed this part of his brain, but legal weed is historically something he actually cared about
But like actually where did the political will to take the hemp industry out back and shoot it come from

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

That's definitely their style of loserdom
my strong suspicion is that dems believe they’ll coast to major gains in the midterms no matter what, and their awful posture right now on all the horrors is less about winning next november and more about what they’re rhetorically committed to do should they win

Yes, and now everyone realizes we can't win with this team. Time to blow it up and rebuild. Tank for some picks.
No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

Amazing content
Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

Vote in your local elections!

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Eight months ago, Katie Wilson declared her intention to run and all the conventional powers-that-be said she didn't stand a chance of winning.

Remember that we don't always know what is possible.
Wilson now leads in the Seattle mayoral race by 91 votes. Prior to today, Harrell had been leading by 4,300 votes, but this latest vote batch netted Wilson 4,391 votes.

Catherine my good bitch you guys are the only ones who do not know where the Republicans stand
Steve Inskeep: You think the Republicans voting with you here will not only agree to these measures, but actually try to do something if the administration ignores them?

Sen Cortez Masto: If they go back on their word, then the American public will know where the Republicans stand.

I'm curious how he defines "hold fiercely accountable."
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

Also if you get insurance through your employer and are sighing a deep breath of relief (while obviously still giving a shit about this issue)

understand your insurance through your employer can go up as well, and coverage offered lessened.

And if you lose your job and can't quickly find another

We’re all trying to figure out who controls the democratic Senate caucus, because that person should resign.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Just great job all around.
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies
