The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Thank you. The cavers should be primaried out of office and their names be forever remembered associated with their decision to cause harm to Americans in order to get "a deal".
My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.
Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.
So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?
Seriously?

Add this to Hakeem Jeffries' way too late endorsement and NY probably needs some new representatives and the Democrats in the Senate and the House definitely do!
So Schumer never did endorse, huh. Nor Gillibrand. Just irredeemable pieces of shit, the entire NY senate delegation
