“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.'

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Lying sack. This compromise is consistent with your donor-fellating leadership. We have every reason to believe you orchestrated this because you won't forcefully criticize the traitors in the caucus you ostensibly lead.
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.

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Hi, @kaine.senate.gov. People mired in depression and hopelessness since January saw a much-needed shaft of light last Tuesday. You and your corrupt colleagues just took that away from us. Along with our health care. How do you think that's gonna work out for you?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

CNN, CBS, others report that at least 8 Dems have reached a deal to end the shutdown

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.

Experienced a harrowing Aeroflot flight from Riga to Moscow in 1990. Weather was fine, but the pilots flew the plane like they stole it. Roughest descent ever. Dropped the landing gear way too early. Rode it out blasting Side 2 of Living Colour's VIVID on my Sony Sports Walkman.
last time i had a flight like this it was on aeroflot from fergana uzbekistan to moscow, 1992. and it was unnerving to say the least.
Looks like this is real. About 40% of the flight at 8k feet, then bumped up to 10k, and then finally went up higher, but only to 20k feet. Much slower than normal flight and likely burned a lot more fuel. But the view out the window was probably impressive.

If Dems cave today, we have a responsibility to organize and protests at the offices of the Senate Democrats those who voted to fail us.
I live in New York, Chuck Schumer’s office is at 780 Third Avenue, Suite 2301 New York, NY 10017
Once we get a roll call, I’ll post other office locations.

Don't you fucking dare, @schumer.senate.gov. Thune and the GOP will fuck you - and all of us who need the ACA. They always fuck you. Maybe this is your kink, but your kink will kill millions. Your legacy is already shit. Try not to touch the bottom of the swamp where people renounce your surname.
