Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.

Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

Giving in to Trump doesn’t make you a moderate.

It makes you an accomplice.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

We need Senate leadership & Senators who are strong & right. So many lives are on the line. Roughly 92% of enrollees in Affordable Care Act marketplace health insurance plans, about 22 million people, receive enhanced premium subsidies.
Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

The Senate might fold, but I sure as hell won’t.

Families are getting crushed by rising costs & as these healthcare tax credits expire, it’s only going to get worse.

And now the Senate wants us to “trust” them to fix it later with a debate on a bill, maybe?

I’m a F-NO!

The Senate Republicans voted down a motion from Sen. Tammy Baldwin designed to force a vote on her amendment to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits for one year.

The motion failed in a 47-to-53 vote along party lines.

Trump’s 50-year mortgage idea is frigin ludicrous. The average age to buy a home is now 40. Homeowners will pay nearly double the interest & make monthly mortgage payments until they are 90 years old. youtu.be/djYdIUmGu-w?...

Obama always said don’t boo, VOTE but everyone needs to see this compilation of the videos being posted where Trump is being booed/flicked off by so many in the Commander’s stadium. He is not popular in DC with so many who are laid off, furloughed, hungry, sick, & harrassed by his regime.

Despicable! Trump pardoned high-profile individuals allegedly involved in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman and Mark Meadows -- and 72 other individuals associated with the Big Lie.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.
