I’m a NO on the Senate’s so-called “deal.”
It does nothing to address the GOP health care affordability crisis crushing families.
There is money to build ballrooms, there is money to help Argentina, but suddenly nothing can be done to help Americans struggling to keep up with healthcare costs.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Leave it to a a handful of Senate Democrats to cave in a moment where they held actual political power, leverage, had momentum, when the base finally felt something akin of hope and excitement again. Truly stunning.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.
Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Democrats there, hearing that Donald Trump has hit a historic peak of being hated by the nation, and feeling a twinge of competitive instinct for the first time in years. "Hey," they wailed. "We can suck too."

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!
That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.
