YOU WERE FIGHTING FOR THAT NOW
YOU HAD PUBLIC OPINION ON YOUR SIDE
WE JUST WON A HOST OF ELECTIONS BY HAVING CANDIDATES THAT SHOWED THEY WERE WILLING TO FIGHT
HOW CAN YOU TAKE THE EXACT WRONG LESSON FROM ALL OF THIS

1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

@wyden.senate.gov, @merkley.senate.gov , thank you for voting no on this idiocy. But you guys have got to change up leadership. Schumer is incapable of leading. And we can tell that there were more than these 8, as they aren’t up for reelection in ‘26. We aren’t stupid. This was OK’d by Schumer.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Paging @schumer.senate.gov , this is the future of the Democratic Party. Either figure that out right now, or get out of the fucking way.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Like an entire four people near the Courthouse in Portland counter-protesting. And by “counter-protesting,” I mean just being vaguely threatening with their bullhorn. What a bunch of losers. #nokings

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.
Here’s a thought.
Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

This is, amazingly, still not deleted. Bribery is a specific form of corruption. The overarching concept of "corruption," 100% does not require a quid pro quo. Abuse of power, personal gain...all forms of corruption.
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
