She literally voted against the amendment to extend the ACA subsidies lol
A lot of happy Republican senators tonight. Susan Collins vows there will be a real effort to extend some ACA subsidies, but also said the ACA is not affordable….

I think part of the problem is that nobody can agree on whether the point was to restore ACA subsidies to prevent harm or to deal political damage to the GOP and Trump

There is an important element between being a blind ideologue and pragmatist and that is conviction. If Dem leaders expressed conviction, people would trust them more in either direction.

You folks know that when these tech bros say they "read books," they mean they read a chatbot summary of them or, in the olden dayes, sparknotes, or maybe listen to an abridged audiobook, right? They don't mean literal reading.

It is true that Trump does not like war, if war is organized state violence for achieving political goals.
Trump loves wanton murder, because he is a psychopath, and because it gives him sexual pleasure.

One appeaser, Sen. Angus King, explained his decision with, “Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work.”
Well sure, when you prematurely fold rather than see a fight through, you fail. And why should Trump opponents vote for anyone who thinks standing up to Trump isn’t worth doing?

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.
